Sure they all have blogs now, but gay porn stars were pretty slow on the uptake. Not the case with Twitter which the stars, writers, producers and personalities of the gay porn universe and the like have taken to like moth to flame.

The full list of gay porn stars on Twitter follows, and I intend on updating this list often so email me if I missed one or if you just signed up.

For most of last year, I had a gay trainer and we spent as much time talking about Ally McBeal (his favorite series) and the steam room queens as we did pumping iron. In the world of gay porn movies, however, gay trainers never leave your muscles alone.

There's a new gay powerbottom on the block. Meet 21 year-old Skyler Caine, CockyBoys newest exclusive. Not bad. Not bad at all.

I can't remember a more exhausting but terrific GayVNs. Despite nearly two months of drama, speculation, rage and near collapse. There was craziness, of course (Lucas vs. Corrigan; the VIP bar closing at 9:30), and some surprises, but mostly it was as people predicted: Raging Stallion's epic To The Last Man took home somewhere between 13 and 18 awards, depending on how you do the math.

Various obligations of dubious value kept me from actually seeing most of the awards; I followed them via Twitter from above mentioned VIP bar and talking to people who were either furious, elated, blaze or high. But the things you do need to know: Diesel Washington brought his mother; the charming and learned Mason Wyler took everyone bowling; the Visconti Triplets can not speak a word of Italian; Bel Ami boys really are as grass-fed as they seem; the red carpet was actually blue; I love Erik Rhodes; the publisher of Unzipped is really into adult babies; and no matter how often you see it, Barrett Long's penis is really, really incredible.

Here are the parts we DO remember.

When I was on the set with porn star Francois Sagat a year or so ago, and he told me that his Titan contract was up, I asked him what he planned to do. "More mainstream stuff", he said. "I've worked with the best. What else is there me to do here?" Then he paused and smiled, "... Erik Rhodes?" (They've been very openly lusting after each other since the 2006 GayVN awards when Greg Thompson snapped the above photo of them together.)

Smoldering 21 year-old Cuban bodybuilder Alain Lamas made a splash last year on a couple of the muscle-worship sites. Damien Crosse and Francesco D'Macho sent over an exclusive image set from a recent nude shoot he did for Stag Homme. In “Acere” (Cuban slang for "homie"), he still keeps things solo unfortunately, but raises the ante somewhat by getting into some piss play and flashing his not-for-gays hole.

He likes women (or as Damien puts it, "Unfortunately she's straight :( Not like gay for pay straight, but real straight") and I'm *so* not into the muscle-worship stuff, I'm willing to make an exception for Alain thanks to his spectacular ass, wing-like quads and utterly exquisite pink hole.

Check out the nude pics (after the jump) ... I think you'll be hard pressed to disagree.

It seems that Nickolay Petrov (real name: Edmon Vardanyan) needs to get a few things off his well-muscled, clean-shaven chest.

In a four-page, hand-written letter to his manager (paraphrased to me over the phone), the incarcerated felon bemoaned the fact that he hasn't gotten laid in two years. He also claims he's completely innocent and was framed by his ex-best friend, Chris, who, like Nikolay, also occasionally appeared on RandyBlue:

Or maybe he just has a lot of time on his hands ... the former Jet Set Exclusive is serving time in a federal prison after pleading guilty last year for fracturing the skulls of an elderly couple. (Because the sentence is federal, he will have to serve every day of the 20 year sentence.)

Meet the newest Hot House Exclusive Paul Wager. Big ass, thick cock ... if he looks familiar, you might recognize him from a previous incarnation as Barry from SeanCody. He'll be debuting in Skuff 4. Humpy!

Couple more pictures after the jump ...

Since watching Asylum yesterday, all I've been able to think about this weekend is Leo Giamani's balls. Yesterday they were slapping Erik Rhodes' ass, and today Leed Scott is squeezing on them for dear life while taking a ride on Leo's thick stick in Titan's just-released Playbook. In the clip, Leo's just sort of sitting there -- as he's wont to do -- but that doesn't stop Leed from having the time of his life. God love a resourceful, hungry bottom.

Check out a free hardcore four minute clip from the scene and some more images of godlike Giamani after the jump ...

So what if he's picked up and moved to Madrid with Francesco and only visits us at the GayVNs and for the, uh, high holidays? It doesn't mean we can't sit around with old scrapbooks and reminisce about the Good Old Days.

I'd suck him until I got a buzz from that cigarette. Assuming that is, in fact, a cigarette. Either way.

We ran into Diesel Washington last weekend at the Rentboy Dirty Secrets Party in Vegas while he was fending off bad touch from gay trolls in towels. Diesel quickly retreated to the VIP lounge and wiped their grimy gay fingerprints off his bodacious tatas and talk about two things -- the tour he was currently giving his mother around Vegas and the pounding he gave Park Wiley at the Kink.com. We were clearly interested in the latter.

(BTW, I'm not really sure what's going on here, but it seems to involve HULK ANGRY!)

We received early word that Falcon Lifetime Exclusive Matthew Rush is leaving Falcon. But the iconic star will not be retiring from porn: Rather, he asked to be released from his contract so that he could pursue other opportunities.

Although his output has declined over the past few years, Rush, who turned 36 in 2008, has done a total of 25 movies since his debut in Bounce in 2001. Rush's last film for Falcon (as an exclusive, at least) will be his much-hyped scene with Zeb Atlas in Best Men Part 1: Bachelor Party.

Matthew also recently got this dragon tattoo on his chest. Discuss.

(Falcon Exclusive Ty Colt, from the set of their upcoming release, Asylum.)

The fraud scandal involving Birmingham, Alabama Mayor Larry Langford has grown to entangle gay porn icon Ryan Idol. Langford was arrested Monday on 101 counts of bribery, money laundering, conspiracy and fraud. As details of the charges against him have started to emerge, one fact has caught our attention: Langford apparently wrote checks to Ryan Idol, the Daily Voice is reporting.

It's too early to jump to any conclusions as to what he was paying him for. Langord may have merely been paying Mr. Idol to give him a personal reading from Terrence McNally's play The Ritz, of which Idol starred in the Broadway revival of last year. However, it's particularly ironic, not only because yet another politician possibly paid for the services of an escort with a check, but also because Langford has done some decisively anti-gay things, like refusing to issue a permit for Birmingham's gay pride parade.

Luke Hass added himself yesterday to the growing rolls of porn stars (Diesel Washington, Vinnie D'Angelo) finished with their exclusive contracts and hitting the web to look for work. Stocks aren't the only things that are undervalued these days -- I'm scraping together my war bonds to see if I can't put one of these on my personal payroll.

And so my reign of terror comes to an end with someone who is actually 100% drool-worthy: Newest TitanMen Exclusive Marco Blaze.

Marco is 26, from Argentina, has done a couple of movies for some European studios and a few scenes for MenAtPlay, and has a Eric Hanson thing going for him. According to Titan, he "has one of the biggest, thickest dicks in the industry and one of the most perfect asses ever seen".

I'll let y'all be the judge of that, (cock shot after the jump ... )

Like me, they go down with a nice Rioja.

Pierre Fitch developed the site to help him keep in close contact with his fans, by which I think he means me, and by which I hope he'll be "thanking me for the add" with a little bit more tongue than I'd get on MySpace, and less McCain than I'd get on Manhunt.

The last time I saw him was about eight months ago. Mike and I brushed past him in the lobby a building downtown. Brandon was always thin, but that day he was practically unrecognizable: a skeleton. He gave us both a big hug and walked away, not saying much, leaving us both stunned in his wake.

Although it leaves many questions unanswered, SF Weekly finally puts the rumors about Michael Brandon to rest and the truth is way more disturbing than I ever imagined: from a partner in one of the leading porn studios to a motel-surfing meth dealer facing serious jail time. Giving how incredibly sweet he was, the story is all the more tragic indeed.

My thoughts are with you, Michael.

The rise and fall of the Monster (SF Weekly)

At the request of a commenter on yesterday's post, here's Joe Oppedisano's classic shot of Ricky Martinez's cock smoking a cigarette from Forced Entry. Hello foreskin!

I'm pretty sure the Earth won't be turn into a black hole tomorrow, but it's got me thinking: Who would I want to spend the last night on earth fucking?

My personal top 5 after the jump. These are just my current porn obsessions of late, so I encourage you to supply your own in the comments.

I don't think people who leave caustic, anonymous comments on blogs necessarily need to be acknowledged, let alone responded to. But something strange happened in the comment thread for some pictures I posted on Chi Chi's upcoming bi flick Shifting Gears. A lot of people expressed their excitement for the movie, but there was an undercurrent of dissent. and much of it was focused on Blake Riley, for reasons I'm having a hard time understanding.

Not that Blake needs me to come to his defense but I do need to clear one thing up: It was me who called him "straight for pay" (for the purposes of an attention-grabbing headline and nothing more) That term never appeared in any of Chanel 1's marketing material for that movie. Blake's never claimed to be bisexual or gay-for-pay (or "straight for pay" for that matter).

I will say that -- in addition to having an ass like two ripe melons and being one of the most-handsome performers working today -- Blake also happens to be an incredibly nice person. I interviewed him a few months ago and also got to spend some time with him on the set of the NakedSword Knockout shoot, and I was really taken by this completely down-to-earth charmer.

As the first dual exclusive for a studio (Channel 1) and a website (RandyBlue), Blake's rise -- culminating in winning 2008 GayVN Best Newcomer -- was meteoric. But did you know he was living on the streets when he started doing porn and that he credits porn with saving him? Or that he's studying to be a chiropractor? Get to know more about Blake Riley in our interview, after the jump.

Steve Cruz is one porn star we never tire of writing about. When I heard that he'll be co-directing his first movie, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to probe him deeper on the subject (I love chatting with him but I always got the feeling he enjoys being probed anyway).

We discussed his directorial influences, if he's still a Raging Stallion Exclusive, and what exactly it is that a porn director does anyway. "Blue Movie" (an homage to 1970s and '80s porn which he's co-directing with Leif Gobo for Mustang) should be released in December but until then check out the interview after the jump ...

Despite the teams of Falcon haters out there, I think they might be on to something with their newest exclusive, Ty Colt. This 20-year-old Midwesterner puts the corn in "corn-fed", and apparently has a perma-hard cock. His debut scene is on FalconStr8men later this month. And those lips! We had dinner with him last night and he's sweet and unassuming -- the opposite of most gay-for-pay stars. And maybe he's not even for pay -- the stud has taken to the industry like a duck to water, and will be shooting both top and bottom scenes this year. 

Roman Heart might want to be extra careful when walking down a flight of stairs. I'm just sayin' ... Another picture after the jump.

Chi Chi LaRue just wrapped filming a new bisexual movie for called Shifting Gears and I have to admit I'm intrigued by the idea of using actual gays (and a few self-identified straight and bisexual guys) in the cast.

Plus you get to see Blake Riley fucking a girl for the first time in his life. The fact he's got Ryan Alexander's cock up his ass while he's doing it might explain some things, but still sounds hot. What ever happened to Ryan? I guess we now know.

They sent over some exclusive pics, after the jump. There's some titties in some of the photos, just so you know. Don't freak out, k? Thx.

Michael Lucas has more than a few fetishes -- including a recent obsession with farts -- but based on his recent productions, it's real estate that's really on his mind. The housing market may be tanking, but Lucas is counting on a few hot properties to pull him through. A few months ago, he set a porn in Manhattan's famed Flatiron Building, Lucas's Flatiron Fuckers a few months later, he released Pounding the Pavement and, most recently, Flip This! (starring Jason Crew), which could just as well have been an HGTV series.

Maybe he's looking to make an strategic acquisition. Either way, let's screw the realtor talk and the most recent debuts on the market.

One of the first of a crop of more-masculine and hairy studio exclusives, Cole was signed by Rascal in 2006, where he went on to appear in Link: The Evolution, When Bears Attack, and others. He appeared on the cover of the October 2006 issue of Unzipped and the cover of Leather Sessions.

Channel 1 also released the Cole Ryder Cock, a dildo molded off him. After Rascal, he appeared in Cruising Ground for Mustang.

Update: Fleshbot notes that Cole's Myspace profile update from reads: COLE RYDER has left the building.

Update: Chi Chi LaRue sent over the following statement:

Cole Ryder was a beautiful person on the inside and the outside! He had such a great manly appeal and the heart of a gentle giant. Cole was always such a pleasure to work with and I'm deeply saddened by his passing. I can only wish now that he is in peace and he will always have a special place in my heart and the C1R Family.

Picking up from where we left off yesterday, here’s the conclusion of our two-part interview with Collin O’Neal where Collin gives us insight into his casting process as well as some obstacles working with models who don’t necessarily identify as “gay”.

Where and how do you find your models?

I find my models mainly via gay social networking websites like BigMuscle, Gaydar, and GayRomeo. I met Pedro and Daniel from Sao Paulo and Miami, and Said from Lebanon over the net. There are a few times I meet guys on the street or in clubs like Jacko from Lebanon who I met in a café in Aleppo, a city in Northern Syria and then I met my exclusive Francisco Rey, while he was cleaning the pool of our hotel in the Dominican Republic. I am very shy in person, so it is very hard for me to just walk up to guys and pop the porn question.

There are few things I love more than a porn star in a costume. Whether they're shooting b-roll as a lumberjack or an putting on an arty mask, it tickles. One minute they're all serious and butch and sexy, the next minute they're speaking in cockney rhyming slang and adjusting a pink bob wig. Luckily for me, they like to dress up almost as much as they like to undress. And this, my friends, was a banner week: First, Brent Corrigan made a splash with his costume from the set of Another Gay Movie 2 in which he played "Stan the Merman." Talk about getting a piece of tail!

When we heard that Tory Mason had been arrested for drunkin' driving in his home state of Idaho this past Fourth of July weekend, we couldn' t help but remember this magical slurry moment with a beer , a pool cue and a bed where Jack and I first fell in love with him.

TheSword might suggest that gay porn websites are dying off, but there's still quite a few around. The porn gurus at ManNet have released their latest list, and even though some haven't been updated since the Clinton Administration, it's still quite an exhaustive list.

While the "Gay For Pay" moniker continues to pack 'em in (despite our endless grumbling), could its days finally be numbered? Earlier this month of course, we saw one of the biggest GFP hold outs -- Zeb Atlas -- dip his toe into the gay waters by mouth-fucking Jake Cruise.

Then last week, TheSword broke the news that Zeb Atlas was going to dive right head first and be topping Matthew Rush in an upcoming Falcon movie (ironically enough) about gay marriage.

Yesterday it was announced that another notorious GFP'er -- Mike Roberts -- would be bottoming for Jake Cruise. Mike's topped a few times on-camera, and I'm a huge fan of his but ... egad! I don't wanna see that! Seriously. I'll have nightmares. If you want to see a picture of Jake topping Mike (and kissing him!) click here. You've been warned, OK?

So I have to admit the following list is sort of a reaction to the somewhat baffling anti-beard tirades a bunch of you guys left on this entry about 4th Floor. Suddenly everyone's saying no to beards? WTF. Did I miss the memo? I'm not saying every gay porn star should be running around looking like Rasputin but there's quite a few porn stars I prefer unshorn. Steve Cruz for example? Compare and contrast (not that I would kick either out of bed):

If you're still not convinced, I present to you: the 16 hottest bearded porn stars in history* ... after the jump...

(*the history of my memory)

Meg Ryan, he's not. But Diesel Washington wants to expand his gay sex repertoire beyond his signature "mean" moves like The Bully and the old Double Shoe, and embrace a softer, sexier side and we're not gonna argue with him. With a dick that thick and a growl that mean, we don't care if it's all just an act.

-- Mike

A well-hung mystery has been gnawing at me this weekend.

Alexander Pictures, a leading exporter of Brazilian porn (much of Arabia isn't too keen on homosex, I'm curious about the casting process.

This wouldn't be the first time fudged some men of color (Raging Stallion's Arabesque was more Hollywood than Haditha, though the men were listed with their non-Arabicized names, and Jason Curious's recent shocking revelations) confused a generation. You can decide for yourself after the jump.

I'm just mad for new TitanMan Exclusive Dillon Buck! Here's all I know: He's a Brit, comes across a bit goofy on his blog, and seems pretty open about the fact that he's for sale.

I'm digging the fact that he's got a "more natural" sort of body -- maybe this is a new "thing"? I'm also digging his massive, uncut dong! The only thing separating him from Aiden Shaw is like 20 volumes of really crappy poetry.

Although he's done some stuff for Alphamale and MenAtPlay, his four movies for Titan are what made me take notice. I'm especially fond of the part in Breakers where he peels off his wetsuit by the side of the highway while real traffic is driving by.

Free hardcore image gallery of Dillon and his cock after the jump ...

Straight men have no problem loving whores, but gay men always say, "Oh, that little hooker," dismissively in reference to sexually aggressive youths. Now, I'm not saying Pierre Fitch escorts, though it's not unthinkable, just that every time I've met him he's flirty and charming and gives off the scent of sexual availability. I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, or suggest that he was going to toot mine for me, just that I still can't get enough of him. If you've been following his blog, he's getting bigger and with every pretend foray into his blogged home life, I'm getting hungrier and hungrier.

That face! That cock! That body covered with Prince tattoos! What is not to love about RSS Exclusive Logan McCree? If you had any doubt, check out these three free video clips of my #1 crush in action.

The first clip is a trailer of him jocking-out with his cock out in Jock Itch ... (a concept that a few of you apparently find dubious but whatevs!). Logan's towards the end of this clip, getting fucked by also-delicious Scott Tanner. After the jump, two clips from The Sword where Logan talks about his tattoos and a rewolting sexual encounter that nearly made him womit.

Raging Stallion has been on a roll aesthetically -- in part, I think because of their ability to take risks, to bring in new talent and to develop new talent from within their own ranks. It helps, of course, that they're doing strongly and producing frequently -- when you've got three or four movies coming out a month, you can afford to take risks.

While in-house directors like David Hempling, Ben Leon and Chris Ward have resulted in the studios strongest titles, like GRUNTS or Arabesque, star-directors like Collin O'Neal, Steve Cruz and, in the case of the Screaming Eagle co-production of Jock Itch, Jake Deckard, have allowed the large San Francisco studio to stay vigorous in an increasingly calcified industry.

I don't really even want to talk about it anymore. He made some vague and quasi-oracular pronouncements about his future in the business on the set of Titan's Funhouse the other day, which sent me into a bit of a tailspin, as if I were an addict whose dealer was going legit. In the meantime, I feasted on the pictures from a recent shoot for NakedSword.com.

Much has been written about the Visconti Triplets (née Timari Triplets) thus far but little has been seen (below the waist). Here's the Cliff's Notes version to get you up to speed: Budapest-born Joey, Jimmy and Jason Visconti were discovered by George Duroy who sequestered them for over a year while he trained them to be Bel Ami boys.

Before Duroy released a single scene with them, they left Bel Ami and signed a two-year exclusive contract with the relatively unknown Elite Male Studios -- an offshoot of delightfully low-rent US Male Studios. Bel Ami announced that they'll be releasing a scene with two of the three brothers within the next few weeks online. Elite has filmed a scene with all three but hasn't given a release date.

Some have speculated that these triplets are really just two twins and one brother. The theory gains some traction when you look at their cocks: notice how the two on the end have cocks that turn downward while one in the middle has a cock that curves upward. Triplets should have, like, three identical cocks, right?

Check out two hardcore image galleries of the Visconti/Timari Triplets after the jump:

You can't not stare. In fact, he's so handsome I'm pretty sure it'd be rude NOT to, and his ass practically implores you to tuck a napkin in your collar. We shot him today for an upcoming episode of the Tim and Roma Show for Titan Media's Folsom release, Funhouse. His longtime, uh, buddy and new Titan Man Ethan (so new, in fact, he doesn't have a last name yet) was on hand, to join in the staring (as well as a little groping and making out).

Sagat wants me to tell you that he's not depressed, that he's got at least one more movie under his belt (to be filmed next week) and that those of you who hated his YouTube videos are reading too much into them because you're just lonelyhearts beating out your own frustrations on your computer (okay, I actually supplied the last clause. Sagat still loves you.)

I spent Easter sitting in the the park with Wolf Hudson, who assured me that he hasn't had a drink since New Year's, but that the interview with Lucas came out wrong and he doesn't have sex with men off-screen.

But as Bill Clinton taught us, sex is open to interpretation like and the Bronx-born hunk straight pisser-fister-fucker was more than willing to spend the day teabagging strangers for my amusement.

Ever since Jack sent me Wolf Hudson's anti-folk insta-classic, "I Wanna Teabag You," I've been obsessed. The sweet and smutty lullaby ("I'm gonna put my balls all over your face/tell me, pretty baby, how do they taste to you?") didn't leave my head all weekend aided by a video of him sexy dancing ta video of him sexy dancing to Rhianna. I had to get his skeet on my sheets.

In the latest volume of Michael Lucas' Auditions, Wolf tells Lucas that he's straight, except for the times he's gone to gay bars to pick up men -- a number he places in the low hundreds. Call it gay-for-pay-and-also-for-free. Lucas asks him if he's bisexual, but Wolf says doesn't want to date a man, just bottom for him.

Twenty-two-year-old Tristan Phoenix may be Raging stallion's latest exclusive, but that doesn't mean he's let it go to his head. He let's it go to his buttocks instead. The self-described powerbottom laments Brad Patton's retirement the way that a fourteen year old hippie laments Jim Morrison's passing, or the way that I lament my lost youth. Jack and I caught up with him on the set of Raging Stallion's Hotter Than Hell and found out he loves wine, big dicks and Tristan Jaxx.

1. Gus Mattox Flips a House, Ends Up in The New York Times
Like running into an old friend on the street, I was rather happy to see one of my favorite gay ladies, Gus Mattox, in today's gray lady (in the Home & Gardens Section, no less!) in a piece about his new real estate venture Acme Housing. Chi Chi LaRue also gets a shout out. What's next for Gus? A show on HGTV? I hope so!

2. Michael Lucas Slams Islam, Ends Up in The New Republic
Revolving around his recent the Stanford University Brouhaha, left-leaning political journal The New Republic wrote a fairly flattering profile on "Gay porn's neocon kingpin." As flattering as a dry magazine like TNR can be -- they do mention that Lucas has called the Koran "today's Mein Kampf" and quote an employee of a competing studio as saying "the entire industry is terrified of Michael Lucas".

3. Erik Rhodes Slams Slimfast, Ends Up in Paper Magazine
I know, I know -- Erk's appeared in NYC nightlife rag Paper numerous times, but in the interview that appears in this week's issue with the incredible hunk (who's looking very thin) delves deep into politics (he supports Howard Stern for Prez), being shot in the arm (he's "starved for attention.") and cannibalism.

To be perfectly honest, I don't really know much about Antonio Biaggi except that:

(a) He's a relatively new Raging Stallion Exclusive,

(b) Has appeared in three movies (GRUNTS, Savage and Trouser Trout),

(c) I met him on the set of Hotter Than Hell and he's totally adorable,

(d) He's got the most enormous, excellently-proportioned cock-and-balls that I've seen in recent memory.

Meet Hot House's newest exclusive , 25 year-old Kyle King.

His debut scene with Dillon Crow for the Hot House Backroom prompted so much fan response, apparently, they signed him right away. His next scene -- a duo with HH's other newbie exclusive Ross Hurston will be released in the backroom on March 17.

Until then, check out his scene with Dillon Crow in the Backroom ...

After spending last week in Sydney for Mardi Gras, I'm a little smitten with Aussie men. The sun damage makes them seem butcher and since you only hear half of what they say, it's harder to tell that they're talking like teenage girls. Like other smaller countries, their intensely proud of homegrown stars who've made it on to Hollywood -- Heath Ledger, Eric Bana, Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson -- well, not so much the last one these days, but you get the idea.

With porn, it's a little bit harder -- their mouths are too busy to talk and since Australia has some rather restrictive laws governing porn distribution, it doesn't have the same appeal as it does in the US. But that doesn't mean there's NO ONE. After all, Good as Gold, Hard Studies and Escape from Sydney, as well as older titles like Manly Beach, and Jackaroos were all filmed there. Below, a few off the better Aussie Men. Not surprisingly, there are some big surprises Down Under.

Nice cocks and bad puns after the jump.

When Jason Ridge isn't snuggled in our luxury boudoir, he's pumping young men in their curvaceous buttocks in luxurious locations and selling the results to us in glistening video form. The latest result of his nefarious adventures -- the Oxnardian "Beyond Malibu" is every bit as sumptuous as his rump is. Actually, I've only seen the trailer so far, but if the shots of Ridge's hairy ball sack ramming into Blu Kennedy doesn't make you think of Britney Spears racing through Topanga Canyon, I don't know what will.

Ever since Leo and Lance had their infamous relations with Calvin and Halston, fashion has drawn on porn stars for inspiration. Jeff Stryker and Johnny Hazzard, Francois Sagat and Tiger Tyson -- perhaps they look so good naked that we feel better if we cover them up, like John Ashcroft with a bare tit and a sash. This year, however, designer Marc Jacobs had a veritable triple threat of porn at his show.

a. Longtime boyfriend and bareback star Jason Preston was rumored to be on the outs with Jacobs after Page Six reported breathlessly on the designers supposed affair with

b) Erik Rhodes, Falcon Exclusive and Rushmore-sized mount. Throughout last week there were hushed whispers ... in part fed by Rhodes himself, about the actual nature of the relationship and whether it were animal, vegetable or narcotic. Yet, here he is at the show with supposed nemesis Preston:

They say politics makes strange bedfellows, but sometimes porn makes even stranger ones. Which two unlikely gay porn mega-stars-turned-moguls are seen here celebrating their respective wins last night at the 8th Annual Cybersocket Web Awards with an extended make-out session?

Lately, the only person who pops up in my inbox more than Steve Cruz is Collin O'Neal, though who knows how he has time to email with all his globe-trotting. This summer he was nearly arrested in the Dominican Republic, until he escaped to Serbia then maybe Nicaragua and definitely Vegas. He got bombed in Turkey last week cementing him as gay porn's Carmen Sandiego. Or maybe it's the Little Prince. In addition to bearing the white man's burden, Collin is also a horny fucker so he'll now be producing four scenes a month in addition to his movies for his revamped ("liberated," our well-hung Che says) website.

Michael Lucas is a pervert, and I'm not even talking about that weird necrophiliac thing in August, but it's not hard to see that he's having a helluva time in his Manhattan studio. After the success of Dangerous Liaisons, Lucas seemed to take on a perverse royal air -- the charmer now has "farting" listed as in the fetish pull-down menu on his store site -- or maybe it's Roman imperial. All I know is that the pictures that have been coming back lately are positively Caligulan ... and I'm totally ready to play the barbarian.

Is fucking a porn star like shooting fish in a barrel? If that barrel is full of white guys, black guys, blondes, brunettes, big guys, twinky guys, guys going a little grey, guys with nice faces, gays with a nice ass or guys in a Neon -- evidently, yes. Shot on the set of Raging Stallion's GRUNTS, the key to a porn star's heart lies below:

Ross Hurston may not be the boss of me yet, but I certainly wouldn't mind him overseeing my work. The British banger was imported by Hot House and announced as their newest exclusive, along with Johnny Gunn, late last night. Hurston's first movie for Hot House, Stark Naked, filmed this week in San Francisco with Jake Dakota and Nick Piston. Hurston previous made a name for himself with the Europe's Men at Play series.

We homosexuals spend hours at the gym trying to get porn star physique, but sometimes it's too easy give up and blame inferior genetics. In this clip from The Sword, shot on the set of the NakedSword-Raging Stallion production of GRUNTS , Jake Deckard, Steve Cruz, Ricky Sinzand Rafael Alencar dispute the notion, claiming that their bodies are the result of good old fashioned hard work (oh, and "supplements"). We wish it were otherwise, but it looks like it's back to the barbells if we want any attention. In the meantime, I'll be in the steam room crying while that old man masturbates me.

There are few things that I enjoy running into more than Colby Taylor's delicious, nutritious, ambitious penis or its handsome, easy-going owner. Aside from his occasional locker-room indiscretions, he's got little of the pretention or vanity that marks his porn star peers -- just an charming guy with a sly smile and a gigantic penis. So I was happy to see that the 11-year industry veteran and GayVN winner would be picking up the mantle left by Jake Deckard and becoming NakedSword's 2008 NakedSwordsman.

He's in Vegas now at the Adult Entertainment Expo, flirting with fans on behalf of the NakedSword team (Jake is also there, as are Diesel Washington, Damien Crosse, Dean Flynn, and Aiden and Jordan Jaric). While Colby's easy enough to see around San Francisco, I can't resist the opportunity to congratulate him in person -- I'll let you know how he stacks up next to the Stratosphere.

We all remember sweet adorable li'l Stonie: The Latino twink with a legendary ass who bottomed in countless less-than-stellar hits such as Stonie And Friends, Stonie Slept Here and personal fave Stonie And His Homeboy's (sic).

Elected to the NakedSword Dream Team back in September 2003, he even made a teensy blip on the mainstream cultural radar as recently as 2006 when a Polaroid of him showed up for a millisecond in Borat.

Wait ... perhaps you're wondering why I'm referring to him in the past tense? No, he didn't die. And no he didn't retire. Take a deep breath and click continue for the answer ...

If you judge how fabulous a party is by how long it takes us to snap out of our hung-over stupor to post pictures from it, then Naked 54 -- this year's incarnation of NakedSword's annual holiday party -- was a real doozy (it was like 3 weeks ago).

The Studio 54-themed party -- complete with an Andy Warhol running around snapping Polaroids of guests -- was such a hot ticket that I couldn't use my pull to get an elected official on the guest list. Of course, if you were a porn star you got to go to the head of the line. Click continue for the photos ...

Porn holiday parties can be debaucherous affairs, so when porn stars start telling us to get it together, we take it to heart. On this week's episode of the Tim and Roma Show, reformed party boys Derrick Hanson and Steve Cruz talk about their party pasts and why their now working for harm-reduction site Tweaker.org.

Of course, "harm reduction" may not be everyone's cup of rehab (to quote Derrick: "It's like if you do crystal every day, and you want to just go back to doing it every other day.") but watching Roma, Steve and Derrick re-enact a drug binge is worth the price of admission alone. (It's free, natch.)

When Collin O'Neal told me a few weeks back that he'd convinced muscle top Dakota Rivers to bottom for him, I was more than a little excited. Dakota's a classic Falcon model of the creamy skin/tight butt/smooth finish varietal and I was eager to see him uncorked. But something seemed a little off -- and then Jack pointed out that top man Dakota had surrendered the pink to both Chris Rockaway and Alex Eden for Randy Blue this past August. Somehow I missed it in the white-on-white blur of amateur porn.

No matter, according to Collin, Dakota is now "bottoming exclusively for [him]." And, of course, his world of men, starting with Julian Vincenzo. Some guys have all the luck...

I'm a sucker for a handsome face and it's rare that I'll sacrifice my principals merely for a fat cock (steam rooms and dark alleys aside), but fuck if my jaw didn't drop when I saw Viper's 11-incher in Pitbull's new Lord of Da Pinga. In real life, his hair and goatee would drive me crazy with fury. The gold jewelry? The denim shorts? The sandals? Maybe we wouldn't date, exactly. But as a downstairs neighbor, or a late night phone-a-friend? You be the judge ...

The actual 'viper' after the jump...

Once upon a time Danny Vox was a promising young starlet whose striking, catalog-model good looks paired with his penchant for being a double-penetrable pass-around party bottom made him quite the irresistible porno paradox.

"Jewelry making" (or maybe it was the LTR with an a-list Hollywood director) put him in early retirement but (as I predicted when I interviewed him two years ago), his retirement has been dotted with comebacks a' plenty, including one in Ridgeline's upcoming Beyond Malibu.

Well it looks like his dirty-boy interior finally caught up with his squeaky-clean exterior ...

If contest-based reality television has taught us anything, it's that stars aren't born, they're made. Sure, all the right parts need to be there (in popular parlance, you need two of three things: face, cock or body), but if you're gonna be the gay porn Jenna Jameson, you've got to work it like her, which translates into being everywhere, all the time, in every medium you can find. Others before him have done it well: Francois Sagat, Roman Heart, Collin O'Neal Michael Brandon, Michael Lucas, to name but a few. Based on this week alone, I'd say Steve Cruz is making it his mission. I'm not sure if it's that we can't get enough of Steve at Gay Porn Blog, or if it's that we can't escape him. To wit ...

Who's Men Magazine's Man of the Year? The wait is over (pins and needles, bated breath and all that). For the second year in a row (last year was Zeb Atlas, for the second time), Men has chosen someone with killer abs, mountainous pecs, a highly serviceable (if not exactly gag-worthy) penis and ... a girlfriend. While we love str8 bait as much as the next self-loathing homosexual, we're more impressed when they actually put out. (That goes for 2002 Man of the Year Mark Dalton as well.) The winner? After the jump...

They grow up so fast! We love it when one of our favorite amateurs makes it big. First, it means that maybe we’ve got taste. Second, it means that we have the full narrative after the crash, burn and murder spree. “Oh, I remember his first solo on Randy Blue,” we can opine. “He was so innocent … before the steroids, the coked-up Rock of Love girlfriend, the fraudulent eBay Hummel spree and the bareback scandal. Pity.”

At a time when most gay porn companies shooting overseas are hitting places where the dollar is relatively strong (i.e., countries politely termed "emerging markets"), Pitbull Productions star and director Tiger Tyson is bucking the trend and shooting in Paris. In Tiger's Eiffel Tower: Paris is Mine, the Puerto Rican superstar tells us he's the self-proclaimed "hamburger" in a meal otherwise filled with "French Fries" (alternately, "Frenchies"). Funny how an American in Paris bit (touring the Louvre, eating a baguette, shooting for Pierre et Giles) never gets old -- and totally understandable when said American has ten inches of beef and a way of charming the pants off of anyone in any language...

For those of you who have wished, maybe even just for a second, "If only I could be a fly on the toothpasty mirror of an A-List Gay Porn Star (like, Francois Sagat maybe) while he gets ready in the morning ... " then I wholeheartedly encourage you to click "Continue".

Europe is gonna get a bad rap in porn. The thawing of the Eastern Bloc, coupled with the Bel Ami's late 90s success, paved the way for thousands of would-be twinks and made the porn filmed there as pale and uniform as the Euro. It's like there's nothing there but Slovaks! There are exceptions, of course -- Collin O'Neal and Michael Lucas have both shot in Moorish Spain, Tiger Tyson brought some needed color to the Eiffel Tower and homegrown productions from Citebeur feature gay Arab men tearing up more than just the banlieue.

Though I'll see a few Mediterreaneans in stateside productions, nobody's rimming that sea like director Jean-Marc Prouveur from Oh Man! Productions. I fell in love with Confessions and Legionnaires a few years ago, due in large part to the uncut Forget Noah's Arc -- in his latest, the perhaps appropriately named Beast -- he's got Irish, French, Italian and Morroccan men two by two and three by three. They may not be pretty, but I bet they can cook! (Even in tights...)

In the decade since Danni Ashe launched Danni's Hard Drive and started a porn-Internet revolution, porn companies have had to get increasingly sophisticated about getting viewer's eyeballs (and actual balls) to their sites. First there were banner ads and hosted galleries, then later, there were free clip galleries, stealth peer-to-peer clips, link farms and endless spam. For porn consumers, it's the old Seamen's lament: "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink." Who knew it'd be so hard to find the actual porn?

To break through the clutter, top video-on-demand-site NakedSword.com has gone retro with a (gasp!) actual commercial. The site -- which has gone from membership to pay-per-view and back again in the past few years -- recently announced it's revamped membership site with an infomercial featuring the site's infamous Tim and Roma. As charming as they are, however, personality only goes so far. Luckily, Falcon exclusives Aden and Jordan Jaric and newcomer Tristan Jaxx were on hand to spice things up, and stayed around for a filming of the duo's eponymous show.

While the global credit crunch is leaving a lot of porn fans limp, it seems those from oil-rich states still have plenty of cash to throw around. A few months ago Steve Cruz, aspiring bear cub and gay porn wunderkind, got an offer he couldn't refuse -- grow his beard for an Texas suitor with some cash to throw around.

The ever-enterprising Cruz, of course, used the forty-two day hair dare to fur-ment a little excitement with his fan base, keeping a blog featuring daily updates on follicle growth. Snoresville, right? Wrong -- he did 'em in the nude. And shot homemade solo videos. GRRRR!

Anyhow, the growling star has stopped the madness, going from grizzly to gay caballero in a few short seconds with a handlebar mustache, which you can see after the jump ...

We are shocked and utterly devastated to report that Danny Roddick died Thursday, according to a press release issued by COLT, the studio he was an exclusive with. The cause of death has not been released.

An extremely talented star who was on the verge of becoming a superstar, Danny debuted in Buckshot's HARD Studies in 2005, and has since appeared in Boot Black Blues, Big Rig, and Hostile. He's stars in Jerry Douglas' Brotherhood, and AMG Brasil's upcoming Amazônia: Capture & Release (where he was revealed to be the "gay porn star Mystery Man").

A Northern California native, Danny was also a hair stylist and romantically linked to fellow Buckshot Man Alex Chandler until earlier this year. No word on when or if a memorial service in his honor will be held. We will be posting information as it becomes available.

Our sincere condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

The little green mask has been peeled away and AMG Brasil's mystery porn star has been revealed. It is, in fact, Buckshot Man Danny Roddick, as several commenters on our original entry had guessed.

On being gang banged by a bunch of mega-hung Brazilians, Roddick said: “At first I asked if I could pick which guy was going to fuck me first, but when it came down to picking the lucky prick, they all looked so enormous that I just couldn’t decide. I knew I’d be ripped a new one, no matter which one I went with. I eventually went with what looked like the easiest option and after the first few thrusts I was in heaven. The guys down there knew exactly what I wanted.”

What a fucking whore! I love it. A few more exclusive pics after the jump ...

In a gay porn world that's increasingly split between Abercrombie twinks and pig-fucking punks, the COLT Man continues to spring eternal. With another whole generation heading back to school this month, I can only imagine that many of them are looking for a man like Mickey Gunz, COLT's newest exclusive. Equal parts quarterback and coach, me half expect that Mickey's gonna piss in my locker, whip me with a rat tail and tackle me at a tailgate beer bust. Still, this is one guy for whom I won't mind hustling my ass!

Falcon's gorgeous new exclusives Aden and Jordan Jaric have generated quite a bit of buzz when it was revealed that they were in a committed and monogamous relationship.

They have filmed only one scene so far -- for the movie "Endless Crush" (a remake of the Colby Taylor/Travis Wade favorite The Crush), and while it doesn't come out until early next year, lucky fans and curious gawkers will get to see the versatile pair in action when they do their first-ever live sex show for members of FalconXXX.com tomorrow (8/22) at 6 p.m. PST. I know I'll be tuning, saying my usual obnoxious comments in the chat room but until then we're got more exclusive pics after the jump ...

Collin O'Neal has developed quite a cottage industry by travelling across the the globe (Lebanon, Sao Paolo, London and, coming soon, Serbia) to fuck hot guys on film. Detractors might call his ass-tapping tourism a clever tax deduction or Orientalist adventuring, but no one can deny it makes for interesting tales and even hotter tail.

Tim and Roma caught up with him in the Dominican Republic where the legendary topman couldn't contain his enthusiasm for what he considers the country's most appealling export: platanos! Oh, Collin! You're as big a crack up as ever. Let us know if you want to colonize something closer to home...

Having pics of a newcomer like Devin Moss waiting for me in my inbox takes the sting of returning to work after a two-week vacation. The 18-year-old Kentucky native signed on as an exclusive for Citiboyz (his "just-turned-18" look make him a perfect match for the twinktastic studio.) While we must wait until Sept. 25 for his debut in "Up & Cummin'," -- OH, I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THE SPECTACULAR TEN-INCH SLAB OF MEAT HANGING BETWEEN HIS LEGS!!! It's a real museum-piece of a cock; an interview is in the works, but until then click "Continue Reading" to see why young Devin's got me all hot under the collar ...

Is it me or has this blog become the Gay Porn Crime Blotter? Jason Curious is reporting that gay (ish) Porn Star (ish) Mark Dalton has found himself back in the slammer yet again.

He was arrested on May 31 for a misdemeanor altercation charge and was released the next day on $7,500 bail. However, the charge violated his parole from a much-publicized incarceration in 2004-2005 and he was put back in jail on June 13, which is where he's been held since. (Which reminds me I need to update my Gay Porn Mug Shots with Mark's mug as soon as I can find it ...)

Prior to the first incarceration, Mark appeared in Super Soaked for Jocks Studio. Since being released from jail in 2005, he's only appeared in one film: a muscle worship movie with Zeb Atlas called Mark Meets Zeb: The Texas Two-Step (which is currently at #2 spot on TLA Video).

Why are porn studios so opposed to handsome? I like a big dick as much as the next guy, but not enough (well, most times) to wake up next to some butterface just to get a nut. Dean Flynn, a Titan Men Exclusive and one of the biggest hits at IML a few weeks back, has a guy-next-door visage that's handsome like a news anchor but tainted by with a sex-fuelled smile that makes your knees buckle. Of course, the fact that he's got thick root in the cellar and a slim, slightly hairy build work in his favor, but it's his face that's building the national movement to let Flynn in. Get ready for his close-up.

These might not quite make The Smoking Gun's legendary mug shot archive, but that doesn't mean you don't find the following gay porn mugs any bit less interesting. Now, I hate to be, like, rude but some of these disprove that famous John Waters quote about everyone looking better under arrest that our friends at Fleshbot like to invoke.

1. Harlow Cuadra:

Harlow of course was arrested May 15, 2007 with Joseph Kerekes (below) for the murder of Bryan Kocis and the two are currently awaiting trial. Harlow was the self-described "Stud Wonder" face of amateur twink site BoyBatter.com.

2. Joseph Kerekes:

Harlow's alleged partner in crime, he was also his boyfriend and business partner in Boy Batter and "Boisrus", the escort agency the two ran out of Norfolk, VA. Joseph did movies and escorted under the name "Trent".

3. Marcus Allen/Timothy Boham:

Marcus/Timothy was arrested November 16, 2006 for the murder of John Paul Kelso, Marcus pled insanity earlier this month claiming that Kelso's post-coital request for "a cuddle" drove him over the edge!

4. Cody Cash:

Despite a meteoric and much-hyped entry into the world of porn -- nabbing the cover of Freshmen, starring in Wet Palms and bottoming for Ken Ryker within just a few months-- Cody was arrested March 1, 2005 for possession of a controlled substance and no one's really heard from him since. We sincerely miss him!

While Brent Corrigan is probably too preoccupied to worry too much about business, this spring's other gay porn scandal, the firing of Roman Ragazzi from the Israeli Embassy, comes with hardcore video attached -- and what a fucking bang it is.

I'll admit that I'm partial to Mason Wyler, but his on-the-boat threesome for suitcased pimp Collin O'Neal (with Italian meat grinder CJ Madison and Roman Ragazzi) goes beyond mere obsession. The unlikely combination of the three is disorienting but hot. Roman Ragazzi is a hard and hungry bottom in the tradition of Erik Rhodes, and when CJ shoots onto his hairy chest it results in glistening cobwebs of cum. At first you think the trailer's so hot you won't need the full video ... until you realize you can't live without it.

Fuck Murdoch's Page Three girl. Roman Ragazzi is the hottest thing his tabloids have ever touched.

There aren't many cocks like the viaduct that swings between Rafael Alencar's legs. When most stars claim ten inches, I'm skeptical; when Rafael does, I think he's being modest. And Christ -- that ass! It's the eight wonder of the modern world.

Last year the Latin lothario and a well-heeled partner started Black Scorpion Video and I, as a rabid fan, feared that one of porn's thickest dick-ists would end up hiding his light under a bushel as an exclusive. Thankfully, you can't keep a hard man down, and Rafael kept working while building Black Scorpion (the pick above is from Raging Stallion's Hard As Wood but the voracious versatile has also been a hit at Falcon, Studio 2000, All Worlds and others). Of course, all great love affairs -- even financial ones -- come to an end and Rafael's a free agent again, unencumbered by romance and the responsibilities of moguldom.

Rafael was still playing mogul when he shot this interview in Times Square, but his charm holds up quite well. When not stripping in the street or freezing off his nipples, he takes time to extol his many virtues, pay homage to Jenna Jameson and scares more than a few passers-by. Oh, and tries to fuck a fire hydrant. Hypersexual porn stars: ya gotta love 'em.

After the record wins for Michael Lucas's La Dolce Vita at the 2007 GayVNs, the talented Mr. Lucas, always a very public figure, became nearly ubiquitous. His incendiary columns for the New York Blade are as well received as his blog and his nearly endless stream of releases (not counting the piss and cum) make the man hard to miss, even if you're trying.

This week, on a Off the Set with... video interview shot prior to his wins, Michael ditches his role as shit-starter to reveal the viciously funny charmer that we first fell in love with. Lucas extols his lack of adult industry friends (Spencer Quest excepted), his good side (both, natch) and his love of New York. It may be the softest side of Michael we've ever seen ("You fat cunt!" vituperative notwithstanding).

Does anything cause as much hand-wringing and cock-ringing as fetish? To the fetishist (whether of piss, leather, lace or reading glasses), nothing is so normal as his own desire. To the outside observer, however, the fetishist is a damned freak -- WHO THE HELL WOULD OBSESS ABOUT SNIFFING JOCKSTRAPS?

We like it when the perverts we know become a little more human. Take, for example, Dark Alley. In this outtake piece from the Tim and Roma Show, the boys in the bands (Matt von Fistenberg and Owen Hawk) discuss the trouble with models (too demanding, Hawk claims, as admits he used to be), the problems with fisting (too difficult too be spontaneous, Hawk laments), the difficulties of shooting hardcore porn over a sewing factory (too nosy about the noise, von Fistenberg grumbles) and butt plug gnomes (the nose is hard to get past, but once you reach the shoulders "you see stars," von Fistenberg grins). Sexual deviants: they're just like the rest of us!

(Oh, and for all of you still hand-wringing about last week's entry on Gaytanamo, you can now actually watch it. I'm headed out of town but I expect a full report on Monday.)

"In the spring," cooed Tennyson "a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." Substitute love with lust, and add in COLT's new exclusives, and you can see why. The iconic company which dominated the gay porn scene in the 60s and 70s, reinvented itself in 2003 and has been adding to its bumper crop of beefcake ever since. After a seemingly endless decade dominated by anorectic twinks (with the marked exceptions, I don't really fancy young men, lightly or otherwise), I'm glad to see that the supply of real men in on the rise.

I met Tiger Tyson last fall on a trip to New York and still can't get him out of my head. While some gay porn stars take to video like a top model only to flatline in real life, Tiger is possibly hotter in person than he is on-screen.

We did an interview with him for the Tim and Roma Show and was literally propositioning Mr. Pam in between takes. He ain't straight, but he ain't gay either -- he's just crazy for hole ... and who can pass that up?

In these conservative Dark Ages, the flame of the Renaissance may seem stuck on a permanent sputter. But as in the past medieval gave way to a resurgent focus on beauty, intellect and vigorous debate, we can perhaps hope that the previous decade's gay porn focus on toothy orange models with spiky blond hair and GHB-inspired water weight is coming to the close. Witness, for example, the Michelangelo-worthy Roman Ragazzi.

He may not be your standard pretty boy, but at least he ain't a pretty girl, either. He was discovered by Collin O'Neal (a man who's never shy about his discoveries -- or anything else he comes up with) and has been added to Raging Stallion's growing stable of mammoth and hirsute (think Jake Deckard) anti-twinks.

I was less surprised to see Erik Rhodes on the cover of the Loehmann's catalog than by the fact that he's wearing the same thing he wore in Driver.

No one can say Tiger Tyson doesn't have a heart, even if it can't claim to be his largest organ. Tiger, a former New York bad boy and founding figure at Pitbull Productions, is working with a rescue center to save South Central's rabble rouser 'E', a purebred Pitbull abandoned by gangland drug dealers, from Death Row.

Both 'E' (now rechristened 'Petey') and Tiger do their best to look tough, but their ferocity is mitigated by their movie star good looks.

While Pitbull Productions is desperately hoping to find a good home for Petey (you can contact them here if you'd like to help), they're not the only ones. Director and star Mark Reed (who now edits the popular Gay Porn Space blog) dedicates a good chunk of free time to the saving the little rascals.

(Enough with this saccharine holiday spirit -- get back to jerkin!).

"It's not the size of the wave it's the motion of the ocean," remains the mantra of the cocksure small-dicked since time immemorial. But it is true that length isn't all that matters: Width is equally important (if not more, for some discerning size queens -- I know I prefer to sip beer from a can than champagne from a flute).

While diligently compiling a top ten thickest cocks counterpart to our ten biggest countdown, I couldn't help but share the newest entrant to the arena: Studio 2000 Exclusive Jake Havoc.

Studio 2000 vehemently defends their claim that this fresh-faced toe-head's the thickest. Does he live up to the hype? It would be impossible for me to say definitively unless I, say, held it in my hand (so I could wrap a tape measure around it! What did you think?).

Until then, judge for yourself ... more pictures and links after the jump

Check out part 1 to see where we left off ...

Are you dating anyone currently?
I currently have a boyfriend, and we've been together for about a year. He's my business partner. It's set up so when I turn 21 it's all mine. We're hoping I have other projects going on by then.

What's he like?
He's 39. From Texas. He's got this sexy, thick Texan accent. One of the things I love about him is his horses. I grew up obsessed with them and always wanted to meet someone who I could go horseback riding with. I've never owned one myself. I wouldn't have time for one even if I did.

What kind of guys do you like?
I like all kinds of guys. I pride myself on being the type of person who can find the attractive parts on almost anyone. It just turns out that my relationships work out better with older men because I'm mature for my age and I don't want to have to deal with the petty shit of people my age.

Brent Corrigan: Where to start? By the time he turned 20 (last week), he'd changed his name three times (once against his will), starred in one of the most high-profile productions of 2006 as well as one of the (allegedly) best-selling bareback movies of all time (at age 17), almost shut down the gay porn industry, fucked Erik Rhodes, held a fundraiser for himself, got entangled in an extremely complicated legal dispute with Cobra Video and landed in jail (for underage drinking at his 20th birthday party, of all places).

Judging from this firestorm of controversy that seems to surround this twink-a-licious young firebrand with the ass of a god, you might think he cunningly courts scandal, but after sitting down with him for quite some time (he doesn't really seen to have an off switch), I got the opposite feeling: He's just trying to do his thing despite having made some bad decisions early on. (Before you judge, try and remember all the great decisions you made at 17.)

Despite his age, he's already one of the most intriguing gay porn stars working today.

Birthday? 10/31/86
Sign? Scorpio and proud to be.
Cock Size? 7.5"
Taken? Yes
Top/Bottom? Versatile bottom...

Politics and porn are often uncomfortable bedfellows, but in the case of the Soviet Bloc over fifteen years ago, the fall of some led to the, er, rise of others. When men in countries like Czechoslovakia and Hungary finally gained access to the West, there was plenty of free trade to go around.

Granted, in the decade that followed, the 'trade' wasn't always free. A flood of porn producers came to the Eastern Europe to capture the flood of gorgeous uncut cocks. Roland Dane had one of those cocks, but his debut in Falcon's Out of Athens (2000, dir. John Rutherford) set him apart from his oft-photographed countrymen. In the years since, he's worked for Studio 2000 as both a model and director. Recently, he returned to the lens of the man who discovered him over seven years ago -- sweet, sexy Roland is working with John Rutherford to head up the COLT Studio Group's Olympus international line.

Roland's still living in Budapest with his boyfriend, but he hasn't lost his charm or sex appeal -- or his taste for a little bit of spitting and soft leather. Find out more after the jump...

When was the last time you saw Pat O'Brien mount a huge fat cock?

Mainstream Hollywood has Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, eXtra and about a thousand other televised fungi living off of the decay of celebrity culture, but gay porn has really only ever had one to call its own -- NakedSword.com's Tim and Roma Show -- until now. Brett Drysdale (former Jet Set prexy) and porn star Brad Benton teamed up to shoot The Money Shot Report and the result is a one-armed romp across the globe looking for sex scandals, making out with porn stars and shooting half-naked men cavorting at in Porta-Johns (porn director Thor Stephans mans the camera). Part One of the pilot episode premiered this week and the gruesome twosome is hoping to have the project picked up by HERE or LOGO, but with all Brad's outfit changes, we're thinking Bravo. Or maybe the new CW -- who else would broadcast a show that has both the gay smarm of Top Model and the sex appeal of Friday Night Smackdown?

Who knew that Chad Hunt was such a big softie? For years, the mega-hung porn legend was as well known for his straight guy persona as he was for his huge cock. Of course, like most legends the early gossip was overblown. This summer he went through a particularly rough patch with Michael Lucas as they renegotiated his exclusive contract with Lucas Entertainment, eventually culminating with a ruler-off with new Lucas Exclusive Ben Andrews. Now, one of porn's most profilic stars is back in business: with Lucas' high-style porn remake of La Dolce Vita.

But back to the soft spot on the forever hard guy. He likes romantic kisses, wants to make porno love stories and watch The Color Purple. He's got a tattoo of his son on his arm and the student teacher is now starting to direct. Who says gay porn only has one act?

Before: Kris Knight, Fresh-faced and corn-fed gay-for-pay jock on RandyBlue.com:

I didn't think it was possible to fall in love twice in one week. Just as I was resolved to spend the rest of my life pretending I was married to Damien Crosse, Dark Alley Media introduces me to their newest discovery Aaron King.

So the story goes: when one of his frat brothers gave him a copy of DAM's "Fisting Punks" as a gag gift, it stirred something inside him. A month later, by chance, the 23-year-old accountant hooked up online with Owen Hawk and Matthias von Fistenberg and they quickly cast him in "Quickies", which was just released (where he tops Fistenberg).

Screw Dancing With The Stars ... Partying with Porn Stars always rates higher on my Neilsen. I'm still a little too turned around to dig through the double vodka blur that were the 2006 Cybersocket Awards in Phoenix this weekend. (I'm telling you Gay Porn Blog won Best Adult Blog again to toot our own horn thank you all for voting. All modesty aside, I'll spare you a Sally Field gush.)

The Cybersocket Awards recognize the accomplishments of gay porn websites traditionally ignored by the more studio-centric AVN and GayVN Awards. So while web-savvy studios like Raging Stallion, Falcon and COLT each took home prizes, so did amateur stuff like Randy Blue and Dirty Boy Video and VOD sites like NakedSword.com and review sites like BananaGuide. I'll post the full list as my memory de-fogs (i.e., when Cybersocket posts them). In the meantime, here's some of the preciously sweet meat that the sites brought with them.

John Bruno, best known for directing the latest raunch-fests from Mustang Studios, excitedly premiers a new movie from his own Massive Studio called Hard Surf on October 9th. Utilizing surfing footage that Bruno shot over the last four years, the movie portrays a day-in-the-life of lifeguard Jason Ridge and was filmed on-location on Venice Beach.

While I do list surfer boys as one of my favorite fetishes, I'm perhaps more excited to see the feature debut of ultra-hunky slab of beef coverstar Dakota James (to date, James has only appeared on ActiveDuty.com).

"With that handsome face and amazing body, Dakota James is going to be the next big thing in all-male entertainment," Bruno enthused.

OK, sure. I've no dobut. But can we call a porn a porn?

Check out some exclusive pics after the jump ...

Erik Rhodes may be gay porn's reigning bad boy (or perhaps just a Peck's Bad Boy) but he's hard not to love. Nevermind his superheroic torso or mouthwatering corndog of an uncut cock: Erik has a tough/vulnerable temperment that can make a guy fall in love. He's also wicked funny.

The Long Island-raised sex star isn't afraid to get physical (check him getting donkey punched in Flex) and is unrepentant about a recent fight defending his twin brother's honor that almost ended him up in jail (he got an 11th hour community service reprieve). Take a look at his MySpace profile and you'll find a mixed-up kid that loves to have fun -- and that include fucking plenty. But unlike the fantastic plastics that often are issued by studios, Erik's a real guy. After all the porn I've seen, it's the one thing that still gets me reliably hard.

The legions of porn stars that descend each year onto San Francisco's legendary Folsom Street Fair do so with the steely resolve of a holiday season Santa: more parties and people on your lap, sure, but also a lot of hard work and (and the occasional lump of coal).

Of course, it's not like the rest of us get off that easily. I mean, a whole afternoon in the hot sun spent gazing at half-naked men while munching on and endless stream of Bud Light and keilbasa (er, at least I hope that was beer and keilbasa) ain't that easy. There's danger at every turn, lookie-loos in every dungeon and that guy from the office dressed in full Anne Rice horse regalia, dragging an apple cart and braying. It can make a guy wistful for the days of chinos and neck scarves.

Last month, QueerClick did an short piece on a Russian/Brazilian go-go dancer-turned-porn-star named Mukhtar Safarov and his alleged "9x9 Brick". At first glance of his gi-nor-mous cock, my jaw dropped, but then I quickly came to my senses and dismissed it as a photoshop job. Yet he kept cropping up: Around the same time, on the topic of Mukhtar Safarov, BitchLess Blog wrote:

Mukhtar Safarov's penis is reportedly 9x9. Isn't 9x9 like a brick? You have to see Mukhtar penis to believe it, it doesn't even look functional, it looks more butt-plug than penis.

More posts, more improbable pics of an unlikely cock (an exciting new gay porn meme?) I rationalized: Maybe he pumps it? Could it be silicone injected? I've never seen him go-go dance or any of his three movies (Meat!, from Eurocreme, "Fire Dance" from Kristen Bjorn and Uniforms from Liquid London) but maybe I'd be a believer if I saw them?

Chi Chi La Rue may just be the hardest working wo/man in (peep)show business. In addition to directing for Rascal, Channel 1 Releasing, Electro, and Unzipped Video, she writes a blog, puts in personal appearances just about anywhere that'll take her, and has just finished an acquisition of All Worlds Video (for which she'll also be directing). Oh, and DJs in her "spare" time. WHERE DOES SHE EVER FIND THE ENERGY?

Don't answer that. Instead, focus on the fact that Gay Porn's own Martha Stewart is now running what may very well be the hottest gay night in LA, Dirty Deeds at FUBAR. The sort of night you might find in pre-Giuliani, pre-Bloomberg New York: messed up glamour with cocks out and legs akimbo.

In addition to the big-name porn stars headlining, plenty of 'em just show up to witness the debauch. Oh, and rock stars, too, curiously enough (what the fuck was Nina Hagen doing there last week?). Roman Heart's appearing tomorrow night, but Brian Hansen, Fredrick Ford, Eddie Stone, Eddie Diaz and Chi Chi's own NeoPet, Johnny Hazzard, have all headlined. I'm hoping to head down next week for another dose of dick, but in the meantime I thought I'd get you some advance flesh ...

Michael Lucas's much publicized trip to Israel to dirty dance in Tel Aviv for his war weary countrymen has received its fair share of both commendation and rabid denunciation in the past few weeks. Lucas himself has noted that Israel is much more progressive than the US in its acceptance of gay military men and live sex shows.

While I admire his dedication to his craft and cause (and his the recent publication of his article on porn for the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism showed him to be insightful as well as just in sight), sometime's I'm tempted to tell him I just want to get laid. You can read all about the trip on his blog: I've got dirty pictures of some of the newer Lucas Entertainment models that might accompany Lucas on his make-love-not-war adventure...

Vin Marco first caught my eye on the boxcover of
COLT Studio's minuteman solo series last year. Muscle-worshipping solo vids aren't quite my style, but Vin's resemblance to a certain similarly named star of The Fast and the Furious piqued my interest (among other things). Vin Marco's own production company, Manifest Media, makes films that reference dystopian futures as much as they do the epidermic present.

In Desert Warrior, Vin marches across a barren plain in what might be best described as Mad Max drag -- black leather jeans, a baroque leather harness and various straps, at least on of which conceals a knife. Set against a backdrop of preternaturally white sand, clear blue sky and menacing clouds, Vin Marco's jerk-off is as sexy as it is unnerving.

You can't beat two real life lovers fucking on camera. In addition to the genuine emotion, the non-performative gasps and moans and the hot, hot, hot chemistry, you're practically guaranteed a ball-draining, cock-throbbing fuck (both for them and you).

After six blissful years in love, Danny Roddick and Alex Chandler made their debut in Buckshot's Hard Studies this spring and haven't left my head since. Not only do they have porn-perfect cocks (the pubic equivalent of a hand models digits), their bodies seem sculpted from sweet artisinal butter. NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! (Also not fair was the fact that I missed them at Mr. Pam's rooftop orgy.)

When they showed up on this week's episode of the Tim and Roma Show (for a perverted strip spelling bee, no less), I was suprised at how hot I found them with their clothes on. Luckily, they didn't stay on for long ...

Raging Stallion and soon-to-be Titan superstar Francois Sagat and Falcon Exclusive Roman Heart are two of gay porn's biggest stars. Together they symbolize both ends of the porn spectrum, from rauchy leather sex pig to horned up prepster-next-door (though both are unabashed, voracious bottoms).

But what happens when one gets over-zealous with some hair dye (on his face) and the other gets wild with a disposable face razor (on his head)?

When Cybersocket Magazine asked us to tap into our gay porn expertise and come up with a list of the ten greatest porn stars of all time we were flattered but also somewhat daunted by this Herculean task. We know it's sure to inspire lots of healthy (but civilized, please!) debate. After some heated back-and-forths we managed to whittle away our initial list of about 30 and come up with our take. Ask us tomorrow, and we may give you a completely different list, but until then this is our story and we're sticking to it (for now.)

How does one properly eulogize a cherry? Jason Adonis -- long-time gay-for-pay top and perennial almost-bottom has finally surrendered the pink. The hard-topped and aesthetically pleasing hulk of biomass let porn badboy Erik Rhodes pop him in the pooper on the set of Falcon's upcoming movie The Farmer's Son.We couldn't be more pleased. An exit-only ass is a snore.

Jason has toyed with toys before and is certainly no stranger to man sex, but the old dirt road remained unpaved until days ago. Adonis was originally supposed to give up the goods in Falcon's recent flick From Top to Bottom -- but chickened out at the last moment and substituted a dildo for a daddy. (The anal virginity of other famed top men like Tyler Marks, Billy Brandt and Derrick Vinyard fell, but modest Adonis -- like Edie Bouvier Beale before him -- didn't fall!) Likewise last fall when Jet Set signed -- then threatened to sue -- Adonis for failing to perform as promised. Ah, showpeople!

So forgive me for not believing the news at first. At least until I saw the pics ...

Leave it to the folks at Tim and Roma to make Titan Media's Cirque Noir even more disturbing than it already is. No, it's not just Roma in clown-drag (that's a given, and there's a difference between clown and clownish) or even Rimjob's description of the self-surgery that went into making a forked tongue. It's the RATS!

Mr. Pam's predilection for the fecund rodents is well known in the gay porn world, but is it necessary to have them on the set? In the latest Tim and Roma Show, Senor Pam fixes Roma a cake reminiscent of a meal once served by Baby Jane Hudson to her sister Blanche -- except the little creatures in Pam's cake are still moving. And didn't I spy that pearlescent dildo (used in place of a candle) freshly washed in the bathroom at her last party? Now it graces an infested cake. Thanks for the offer, MP, but I think I'll pass on dinner. It took all the strength I could muster to deal with having a pussy in my porn; rats are a little bit more than I can handle.

Pics and more after the jump...

I slogged through Aiden Shaw's My Undoing autobio this weekend and despite the tedious PnP sessions, the should-I-or -shouldn't-I escorting quandries and succession of indistinguishable lurve objects, I still found myself aroused by his Jabba cock.

Comebacks and misguided brand extensions are two of the most entertaining aspects of the post-performance celebrity era. Why shouldn't Aiden crossover into a rockstar, poet or mid-list author? Who doesn't want to be a triple threat? I mean, if 50 Cent can do it, why not our favorite piece of Brit-cock?

A rash of new exclusive signings swept the gay porn world the past week. More hot new men than you can shake your dick at. Pay attention, because there will be a test.

First, two new men from COLT Studio Group: Adam Champ and Johnny Cruise (Johnny's the one in the pool). They're both quintessential COLT men: Adam's swarthy looks and furry chest recall Pete Kuzak and Johnny? Well, take a gander at that ass. Goddamn!

Lately you can’t throw a rock -- or jerk a dick -- in San Francisco without hitting
Francois Sagat. Whether it’s perception (his distinctive scalp tattoo makes him particularly identifiable) or an aggressive social life (he is, after all, a hunk), I can sometimes hear of three or four sightings a day (Francois dining at Home in the Castro, Francois sauntering on Mission Street, Francois shopping at Safeway -- Francois! Francois! Francois!). Think of him as a Where’s Waldo for the fisting set. Lately, the buttboy of the banlieue has been getting around a little bit more.

As usual, Gay Pride and Gay Porn intersected in San Francisco as homos from around the world descended upon the city by the bay to celebrate their queerness and right to watch gay porn.

Keep reading to see all the pictures ...

In an industry where most men of color are relegated to roles more Dixie than Dirty South, Tiger Tyson has managed control the means of his own production and put a clever twist some old stereotypes (and no, at 9 1/2 inches, it ain't that his dick is small). The self-proclamed ex-thug does boast a prison record and a fondness for cheap tricks like posing with snakes and pouring champers down his chest, but he also runs his own line at Pitbull Productions and is expanding his appeal out of niche ghettos. But about that dick ...

Filming hasn't even started yet but that hasn't stopped Michael Lucas from living La Dolce Vita. The gay porn impresario took a tour of Peru prior to commencing production on his high-fashion follow up to Dangerous Liaisons.

Sure, Falcon's PR guy can be a bit temperamental at times, but if you don't cross him (and give him a blowjob every once in a while), he'll send you some decent items.

Like yesterday: He sent over these pictures of Falcon exclusives Matthew Rush, Erik Rhodes and Roman Heart from a spread shot by portrait and fashion photog Aaron Cobbett appearing in an upcoming issue of Genre Magazine.

Long one of my favorites, Aarron is like NYC's version of Pierre et Gilles. The issue doesn't hit stands for a few more weeks, so until then enjoy the surreal and oh-so-fruity homage to Athletic Model Guild-style 50's physique modeling. Really, like you need an excuse to see Roman in a studded leather cummerbund, Erik in a wrestling singlet and Matthew blinged out (blung?) in gold?

Still stinging over Chris Daughtry's premature elimination from Idol? Well, these music-related YouTube clips might help.

Johnny Hazzard, who recently posted this clip of himself lip-syncing to Sherrie Lea's "Spellbound" on his blog HazzardAhead.com, shows us that he can also dance.

Click here to view Gabe Knight's "Was It Something That I Said?"

A requisite YouTube-related entry, our top five clips for the week run the gamut from vaguely homoerotic to out-and-out porn.

1. Dorm Room Jerk Off: So quintessential YouTube, it's pracitally already a cliche: A buff college boy jerks off, like, in his, er, dorm room (first spotted on NakedCityBoys).

Two quick addenda to last week's entry on gay porn's steaming new slices of fresh meat: Today Titan Media announced a new exclusive: Damien Crosse.

Interesting to note that at 24 years old, Damien is the youngest exclusive Titan's ever signed. Titan director Brian Mills reassures us that the stud's got a "sexual confidence that belies his years", (not that anyone had any doubt ...)

It's hard to believe that it was over a year ago that I was bemoaning the fact so few gay porn stars were "blogging" in the true sense of the word. Fast-forward to now, and I'm excited to report that they've started cropping up at a most respectable clip.

The Gay Porn Star Bloggers Class of '06 realize that there's more to having a Web site than just posting image galleries of themselves. By blogging they expand the fantasy and allow us to interact with them.

Through his blog, twink superstar Brent Corrigan elevates himself into "your ultimate sexual icon". Dousing it liberally with a generous dose of completely gratuitous nude photos of himself, his posts may occasionally fall on the wordy side, but his attitude and ambition are refreshingly bright and emanate with a youthful exuberance that will instantly convert you into a fan. On Friday, 4/21, he's doing Brent Aid -- a twink-fest "cam-a-thon" to raise money for his legal bills from his ongoing battle with Cobra Video.

There's no denying the prestige and power of Michael Lucas. The talented multi-hyphenate (director-producer-star) has a grandiosity of vision that is hard to match and a public persona that is equal parts charming and aloof, clever and controversial. But never, ever, EVER boring.

Lucas' major release last year, Dangerous Liaisons, walked away with four GayVN awards, including Best Picture. His latest opus, Michal Lucas' La Dolce Vita (starring Michael, Spencer Quest and Chad Hunt) is scheduled to begin shooting later this spring. Desperate to get the skinny on the difference between Fellini and fellation, so we checked in with the Talented Mr. Lucas.

A veritable butt-load of new exclusive contract stars! First, meet Channel1Releasing's hirsute and swarthy new exclusive, Cole Ryder:

But wait, there's more ...

Whether or not Tom Katt's religious conviction and corresponding change in sexuality is to be believed, straight(ish) actors are integral to the gay porn industy. On this week's episode of Tim & Roma, the crew gets down and dirty with straight-to-bed superstars Jason Crew and Rod Barry. In addition to gratuitious pantsing and dick-waving (and girlish gossiping about gay-for-pay stars), the two do manage to tackle bigger issues of finance and fellatio.

Of course, we were more intrigued to hear that a certain gay porn star has a day laborer fetish and hires outside the Home Depot for less-than-construction-related purposes. Talk about the invisible hand of the market ...

Anyone who reads this blog knows that Owen Hawk's one of our favorites. From the sheer number of posts about him, you surely know what he looks like in the after (see left, duh).

But he wasn't always a well-muscled shaved-head junior daddy-in-training. Ectomorphs rejoice! There was a time when he was downright (but every bit as delicious) twinkish.

I recently came (pun intended! Har!) upon a rarely seen low-budget whack-off vid Owen did when he was young and needed the money (for protein bars, perhaps?) called "Hands On":

Josh Weast, a 22-year-old cheerleading coach at a Catholic high school in Illinois, was fired when the principal discovered he appeared in gay porn, the Associated Press reported yesterday.

It only took a few hours for the sleuths at Qweerty to find Josh's MySpace Profile.

Judging from a familiarly watermarked picture in his profile, they surmised that he was a Falcon star. Clearly, they hadn't seen Cross Country, or they would have recognized him as Andrew Bryant, who was in the fourway in Part 1, (he was also in the orgy scene in Driver).

Even more gratutious photos after the jump!

There are few porn stars that make my heart leap the way that Gus Mattox does. Jack and I first met him on the set of Wet Palms where he more than lived up to his reputation as a fiercely handsome, disarmingly charming and all-around good guy. Chalk his two-year dip into adult up as "too good to last" -- the sexy fox is retiring. To go back to the theater, no less, in a new original production by Terrence McNally (Love! Valour! Compassion!). Oh well, it beats shuffleboard.

Gus (now known to the world by his rightful name, Tom Judson) granted us his last (well, first of last) industry interview. I have to go before I get teary...

Before there was the tiresome masquerade known around Hollywood as TomKat, there was Tom Katt, a somewhat sexually confused bottom who's absurdly over-muscled physique garnered him a rabidly devoted muscle-worshipping fan base.

After years and years of working himself out until his body looked like a balloon ready to pop, the larger-than-life star announced his retirement from gay porn with a bang a few weeks ago: Not only is he retiring, but he's also (a) giving up trying to be gay (b) discovered Jesus and (c) enrolled in the Seminary.

Did you you miss the ice throwing controversy, the rush on the free bar ("I'm gonna get fuckin' retarded tonight," correctly prophesies Falcon's Erik Rhodes) and the wild fashions (garish appliques! missing shirts! torn-buttocked jeans!) of the biggest night for the industry's greatest cocksmen? Now you can see all the flesh and flash in all its glory. Yes, the 2006 GayVN Awards are live on NakedSword -- and not a moment too soon. Join (mister) Sister Roma as she interviews Pete Ross's parents ("He's always been very loving," coos mom), molests Matthew Rush and campaigns for last-minute write-in votes for "Best Oral."

Tim & Roma Show: GayVN Awards Special Edition (free with registration)

-- Mike

Awards shows fall somewhere between a class reunion and a bar fight. While it's glorious to see everyone again at first and politics are initially cast aside, the steady beat of wins and losses takes its toll and defensiveness builds. Luckily, by the time the last awards were announced at the 2006 GayVN Awards last Thursday, the alcohol had macerated bruised egos and removed most residual bitterness. Of course, that's when the night begins to lurch toward the surreal...

It helped this year that no one film swept the awards -- even the Best Picture resulted in a tie for Lucas Entertainment's Dangerous Liaisons and Rascal Video's Wrong Side of the Tracks. Given Michael Lucas and Rascal's Chi Chi LaRue famously contentious relationship, one would be hard pressed to argue the awards weren't presented fairly. Other big winners included Raging Stallion's sexcellent Arabesque, Bel Ami's Lukas in Love and Liquid Dreamz podiatric Wet Dreamz of Genie.

Highlights of the evening included host Chi Chi LaRue's ferocious sado-equestrian outfit, Michael Lucas' cocksure accptance speech ("If you didn't vote for me, fuck you!") and the barrage of ice cubes that pelted him afterward. The worldly and charmante Gus Mattox's capture of Perfomer of the Year had the crowd (and us) applauding wildly, and Chad Hunt's impromptu striptease at Chi Chi's Golightly-esque afterparty had our tongues wagging. And while it's hard to look better than an 11-inch cock, it was great to see NakedSwordsman 2006 Owen Hawk (with hubby Mattias Von Fistenberg) gripping the award for Best Specialty Video (Extreme) for Mutiny like their Lucite love child. I can't imagine any one being prouder.

I had every intention of snapping hundreds of pictures of the GayVN Awards this year as well as the Channel One-sponsored after party.

But there was one little problem: An open bar. Things started to get hazy as soon as I arrived, but I did manage go get a few good snapshots, I think. Mike will be posting his blow-by-blow soon, but until then here's what I have to offer ...
