Kameron Scott Reveals HIV-Poz Status
September 2, 2010 | 5 Comments
A second model from all-male adult entertainment has gone public with his HIV-positive status. Retired performer Kameron Scott made the revelation in an interview that went live on TheSword.com this week. Late last month, the popular and prolific Mason Wyler spoke to The Advocate about his HIV-poz status (see the link below). However, unlike Wyler, Mr. Scott is no longer working in adult but says he would consider a return. Between 2007 and ’09, he filmed a number of episodes for such web studios as CockyBoys and CollegeDudes247, and appeared in DVDs for Channel 1 Releasing, Helix Studios, Jocks Studios and Titan Media. Mr. Scott learned of his positive diagnosis in December 2008. “I was working. I had just signed a contract and was making a big push in filming… Then it was all gone before the ink was dried. I tried a few months later to book some things but I couldn’t pull myself to do it,” he recalls. “I was actually a little naive to the fact that there are HIV-positive people in porn. It was like my status wasn’t as big of a deal as I was making it. But nothing ever really came to light.” Following the diagnosis, Scott notes he turned down a job offer from CockyBoys and ultimately moved to Florida. “I sit behind a desk eight hours a day now, and it’s the happiest I’ve been in two years,” he says. Mr. Scott also comments on Wyler’s recent revelation as well as the controversy surrounding it, and advocates for “full disclosure” regarding STIs in studio hiring practices. He is not taking any HIV medications due to a low viral load. “Apparently whoever gave me HIV was already on antiviral medication,” he notes. “Now you see why I’m all about disclosure. I got lied to and then got burned… I took my health and the good money I was making for granted and got careless off-set.” I’ve reached out to Mr. Scott for clarification on a couple of points.

New Stage Play Spoofs All-Male Skin Biz
September 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment
A new stage play by Matthew Burlingame and Tom Swanner titled Poughkeepsie Porn Co. is on the boards now in Sacramento, California and spoofs the all-male skin biz. It’s being staged by the Lambda Players and centers on a small porn studio suffering from creative stagnation and the onslaught of the interwebs (gee, where did they come up with that premise…?) However, “the real meat of this play is in the meat,” notes one reviewer. “Yep, lots and lots of male full-frontal nudity, not to mention more bare bottoms than you can spank… (I)t’s chock-full of eye candy for gay men and straight women and, like all good comedies, includes a number of rapid-fire entrances and exits, thwarted love, and comeuppance for the bad guy in the end.” The one review I’ve found (CLICK HERE) also notes the play appears to exist “in a fantasy world where no one ever worries about STDs or safe sex—a far remove from the real world of gay male porn. Of course, wrapping those rascals wouldn’t be as—oh, it feels so wrong to say ‘titillating’ in this context, but that’s kinda what this is: penises on parade.” Poughkeepsie Porn Co. runs through Sept. 25. Real-life pornster Lance Navarro is part of the cast playing “Dildo Faggins.” CLICK HERE for the Lambda Players website.

Does Calvin Klein Boy Toy Have Erotic Past?
September 1, 2010 | 4 Comments
The gay-gossip-media blogs have been gaga over a young blond stud named Nick Gruber, a 20-year-old piece who has apparently been dating Calvin Klein. He was also known as “Nick London” on Model Mayhem, but that profile was removed soon after Gawker.com posted about it. Now they think he is also “Aaron Skyline” from Next Door Male, Next Door Hookups (paired with women) and Mason Wyler‘s website as well as “Zeke” from good ol’ Sean Cody. The photo at left is from Next Door Male in 2009. “He’s clearly been cleaned up a bit, but the lips, smile, eyes, eyebrows, chin, forehead and lines around the mouth are practically identical,” Gawker notes. “Yes, there are some notable differences like his teeth, although those are easily fixed… It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Klein offered to bankroll some plastic surgery for his new 47-years-younger boyfriend.” In any case, Nick/Aaron/Zeke sure is a cutie. What do you think? Here’s Gay.com‘s take on it.

New Release Desk: ‘Scorched’
September 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment
New Release Desk: Our Constant Readers know of my borderline sexual obsession with ruggedly handsome TitanMen exclusive David Anthony. He’s toplining another new blue movie from Titan Media called SCORCHED. That’s hotbod JR Matthews flexing his guns to the left behind Mr. Anthony; at right, showing off his bubble butt, is Dakota Rivers. Featured beefcake includes Jock Hudson, Travis James, Gabriel Ross and Sean Stavos. House director Brian Mills handled helming duties. “Heat stroke got you horny? Get some relief with this hot cast, who emerge from the pool as water cascades down the defined crevices of their bulging bodies,” burbles the press description. I didn’t know a side effect of heat stroke was horniness, but who am I to question the science here? The sexpic is also available on Blu-ray as well as VOD at Titan’s website: CLICK HERE for details. Other recent blue movies include HARD AND FAST starring Spencer Reed and Leo Alarcon, and FILTHY FUCKERS from Tony Buff on the TitanMen Rough pro/am line. Titan Media recently snagged an 12 GAYVN Awards nominations including Best Feature Release for OVERDRIVE.

Francois Sagat’s Wonky YouTube Trip
September 1, 2010 | 3 Comments
Pornster-turned-art-world-muse Francois Sagat has kept busy this summer promoting his leading roles in two independent flicks—L.A. Zombie from Bruce LaBruce, and Man at Bath from Christophe Honoré. But as we’ve noted over the past several years, the musclebound hunk has also served as muse to photographers and art-world denizens the world over. He’s got a new project on tap: starring in a wonky video by Lukas Beyeler. “Worry not! Weird-as-shit Francois is back,” snarks my colleagues at Fleshbot. The clip is a candy-colored acid trip version of a home shopping call-in show, or something. “We’ll take a stab in the dark and say this is some sort of critique of capitalism,” Fleshbot notes. “Who knows? Who cares? We love everything Francois does, but we love him most when he isn’t making any sense.” I agree wholeheartedly. Check out the Italian Vanity Fair link below for more examples. By the way, L.A. Zombie will make its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next week. CLICK HERE for a TIFF write-up where Zombie is listed as a must-see, and note the photo they used to illustrate the article (hotbod Adam Killian is misidentified as Mr. Sagat.)

New Release Desk: ‘Don’t Ask, Just Fuck’
August 31, 2010 | 8 Comments
New Release Desk: Prolific production house Raging Stallion Studios has announced the release of DON’T ASK, JUST FUCK starring fashion-model-pornster D.O. in his first flick as a studio exclusive. The two-disc, military-themed sexpic appears on the Monster Bang Video subsidiary line and was helmed by Tony Dimarco (the second disc contains solo wanks and scenes from High Octane import MANUEVERS). D.O. appears opposite Angelo Marconi in the fifth of four duo episodes. “This is a new D.O., more mature with a nice, thick beard and a dusting of hair all over his body,” reads the press squib. “He is perhaps the greatest porn actor on earth and this scene is a perfect display of why this man is a sex god. He rivals Francois Sagat, Damien Crosse, Logan McCree and many others as the greatest Raging Stallion stud of all time.” Featured beefcake includes Kennedy Carter and Chris Porter; Girth Brooks (that really is his nom de porn) opposite Jake Tyler; and newly signed exclusive Rusty Stevens with Tommy Defendi.

New Release Desk: ‘Joe the Plumber’
August 31, 2010 | 2 Comments
New Release Desk: U.K.-based Triga Films has a slight diversion on tap from its “skins and scallies” collection: VAN & MAN: JOE THE PLUMBER. Cute, eh? Probably would have had more punch for the U.S. market about sixteen months ago. In fact, Triga’s Joe the Plumber—seen at right in this screencap—is more than likely a coincidence, but it ought to help to move a few copies over here nonetheless, for one reason or another. “We all know there’s not enough honest tradesmen in this country: cowboy builders, rip-off prices,” reads the press squib. “Well, Joe our rough plumber lad not only comes round and does a good honest day’s work unblocking your plug hole and attending to your old boiler—he also helps out with any other needs his customers might have whether it’s in the bathroom, the kitchen or on a spunk-spattered mattress in the back of his rusty old van.” Attaboy, Joe! There was also a twinkish sexpic titled JOE THE PLUMBER, a quasi-spoof, that was released in 2008 via Blue Pictures. Triga’s film is now on DVD (an “extended version” is also available) and streaming via VOD. CLICK HERE for their website.

Sneak Peek: ‘Tweeting Twinks’
August 31, 2010 | 1 Comment
Sneak Peek: Director Peter Z. Pan sent along this promo still last week and I neglected to post it. So here you go this morning: That’s Micah Andrews and Tristan Sterling on the set of TWEETING TWINKS, currently filming. It’s the first sexpic from PZP Productions in several years (see the link below for background). As you know, the twink label specializes in spoofs and parodies. “TWEETING TWINKS pokes fun at social media,” Mr. Pan told me. “So far we’ve only shot one scene and a solo. We’re shooting three more scenes in mid-September and we’re looking for 18-year-old BoyCrush types in Florida.” The movie is scheduled for release in November. In related news, early last month we wrote about compilation THE ULTIMATE SAMMY CASE COLLECTION forthcoming from PZP, 18 West Studios and Marina Pacific Distribution. If you’ve been looking for it, I’m told that release date has been pushed to next month. CLICK HERE for PZP’s web address.

‘Psychology Today’ Opines on Porn and Men of Color
August 30, 2010 | 2 Comments
An essay on the PsychologyToday.com website titled “Sex Life of the American Male” proposes that “we can learn much about straight male sexuality by studying gay men,” adding that the gay community “has struggled with diversity for a long time without particular success, particularly the divide between black and white and between black and Latino.” Author Michael Shelton cites the relative growth of niche markets for all-male porn featuring men of color as an indication that “a new norm is establishing itself for what’s hot. There is a powerful demand for these ‘alternative’ norms of erotic arousal and as the country diversifies so, too, will the gay porn landscape. It won’t have a choice if it wishes to survive.” He speaks with Victor Hoff of MOC Blog who dutifully notes the popularity of such performers as Johnny Angel, who is Asian, as well as Race Cooper, Diesel Washington and Austin Wilde. But Hoff is described as “sanguine about the impact of diversity on our changing ideal of the beautiful man.” He isn’t convinced the norm of erotic beauty will change due to changing demographics. “But it’s hard to believe they won’t, at least over time, given that in the marketplace of human sexuality, more and different norms of beauty will begin to overtake what has traditionally been the purvue of the still fairly ubiquitous boy-next-door type,” he notes.
