Francois-Sagat-Exterface-photos-pink-tassles (2008)Francois-Sagat-Exterface-photos-pink (2008)Quotable: “Oh yes, and in that way I feel very secure. I don’t think playing with your femininity as a man is something feminine. I am not a model for masculinity, because I do have many feminine sides. I know some guys in this industry who are trying to push masculinity to the extreme, and it doesn’t work.”
— Performer/model/art world muse Francois Sagat, on upending traditional views of masculinity through his work with avante-garde photographers, from a 2009 story with Interview magazine. Mr. Sagat recently announced his retirement from the skin biz. [More quotables in my new book Filthy Remarks: CLICK HERE.]

sagat-rush-titanmenQuotable: “I can’t say that I don’t like it but I think it’s too much. Too much for what it is. I understand if someone is a fan of Tina Turner or Cher. But being a fan of a porn star? I can understand the sexual obsession of someone because it’s a desire but being a fan of all the movies you have done, remembering which movies you did when and with whom, and what kind of beard I had in this particular film, that I don’t understand. But an obsession of the new Beyonce video and the choreography, the outfits, that is another story. That I do understand completely.”
— Performer/model/art world muse Francois Sagat, speaking about fame derived from his work as a porn actor, from a 2009 story with Interview magazine. Mr. Sagat recently announced his retirement from the skin biz. [More quotables in my new book Filthy Remarks: CLICK HERE.]

Samson-on-the-Treadmill-by-Carl-Heinrich-Bloch-1Quotable: “There is no logical way to separate art and pornography. There is high-quality pornography and low-quality pornography—just as there is good and bad art. But pornographic display and pornographic motivation can be found throughout the great Western art tradition—including in martyrdom scenes of the Christian saints on church walls. The anti-pornography crusade of mainstream feminism in the 1980s boiled with obsessive fanaticism. It was very clear that the leaders of the movement were totally ignorant about the visual arts. No one who had studied and admired the beautiful male and female nudes of Greco-Roman sculpture and Renaissance, Baroque and 19th-Century painting could have gotten into such a silly dither over pornography and its alleged evils. There is no way to appreciate the total grandeur of Western art without an openness toward pornographic expression.”
Camille Paglia (b. 1947), author and social critic, via Nightcharm.

Falcon-Tristan-Jaxx-chest'Contact'-Mustang-Jaxx-Tyler-sexQuotable: “People think porn stars are the slutty ones but it’s actually the ones we go on dates with who are that way. Guys aren’t very patient; they’re all ready to go. I don’t think my career has an impact on their decisions. I don’t think people would guess I’m a porn star just looking at me.” — Dominic Pacifico via Windy City Media Group. [More quotables in my new book Filthy Remarks: CLICK HERE.]

Micky's-Cocktails-Pacifico (Photo Larry, 4-28-11)'Boners'-Raging-Stallion-Christopher-Pacifico-sexQuotable: “Sexual liberation has to be the best thing about being a porn star. I feel like I can talk about sex freely, express myself and not have to feel ashamed or embarrassed. Physically, I wear what I want, or nothing at all, without a care in the world. To me that’s more exciting that the ‘fame.’ I don’t assume that people know who I am because I do porn. I’m flattered when they do.” — Dominic Pacifico via BananaGuide.

Quotable: “In your sex life, preserve purity as far as you can before marriage, and if you indulge, take only those privileges that are lawful. However, do not make yourself offensive or censorious to those who indulge, and do not make frequent mention of the fact that you do not yourself indulge.”

'Captain Americock'-DVD-BoyCrush'Web of Sperm'-DVD-StaxusNew-ish Release Desk: At left is CAPTAIN AMERICOCK via BoyCrush Studios, which has snagged a passel of Grabby Awards nominations this year, including best twink movie and best actor for Austin Ried—that’s how his surname is spelled—as the good Captain himself. At right, as you can see, is the relatively recent WEB OF SPERM from Euro-studio Staxus and director Michael Burling. “Tobey Maguire was otherwise engaged when it came to the shoot, but don’t let that put you off this superb Spider-Man spoof,” notes the promo text. “Fact is young Spidey (played here by Milan Sharp) is as sexy as ever—if not indeed sexier!—and really can do whatever a spider can.” Wait—really? Spiders can butt-fuck and pull a train? The “fine array of raw Czech and Brit talent” also includes Skylar Blu and Tim Law. I’m including these DVD inserts mainly because I’ve frequently mentioned the straight-biz erotic superhero spoofs that are all the rage right now—many of which include the former Jeremy Biling, who goes by Ryan Driller now, as you know—but all-male adult is still managing to keep the flame alive, more or less.

Britain's-Got-Talent-Scott-Whitley (The Sun)Britain's-Got-Talent-Scott-Whitley-Ant-Dec (The Sun)Planet Porn: A British hunk’s brief foray into the skin biz boomeranged in a big way when he made an much-buzzed-about appearance on the reality series Britain’s Got Talent recently. Scott Whitley, 29, was described as a DJ and fitness instructor. “His wacky ‘Funkacise‘ routine got Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and presenters Ant and Dec up and dancing. But they were unaware that Scott has also starred in hardcore gay romps” whose titles include FOOTBALL WANKERS from Triga Films. Mr. Whitley didn’t inform producers of his erotic work beforehand. “I’m not proud of it but I was short of money,” he explained. He filmed his initial appearance in January and apparently lost out on another job when BGT producers urged him to come back. He subsequently learned he’d been rejected by the talent show after all. “I had a great future but threw it all away as they convinced me I had a chance of going through to the live shows,” he said. “They only wanted me back so they could film me being dumped. I’m now at rock bottom and on the dole thanks to that show.” CLICK HERE for a few more details.

RPDR-finale-LaRue-screecap (05-01-13)Planet Porn: As Constant Readers undoubtedly know by now, RuPaul’s Drag Race crowned its most recent winner this past Monday night. The finale was filmed last week in Los Angeles and directrix-DJ Chi Chi LaRue was among the ladies and ladyboys in attendance. This is a screencap I grabbed; the red feathers behind Ms. LaRue belong to Hot House Video‘s art director Sister Roma. (Side note: RPDR fourth-place finisher Detox slayed the red carpet with her greyscale number.)

Fredrik-Eklund-Andy-Cohen-WWHL (March 28, '12)Ex-skin stud Fredrik Eklund—a/k/a Tag Eriksson—returns to your TVs on a weekly basis with the second-season premiere of Million Dollar Listing New York this Wednesday night on Bravo. He’s been doing a lot of press to tub-thump the show. Apparently the season culminates with his wedding, according to the press materials. An article in the New York Times last week examines the program’s artifice—Mr. Eklund’s onscreen apartment, for example, is a rental because the co-op board in his actual apartment refused to allow camera crews to film there—as well as how the realtors have benefitted from the publicity. “Mr. Eklund saw his team’s gross commissions nearly double, to $5.27 million, and last year he and his partner, John Gomes, and 10 others were the second-ranked broker team within Douglas Elliman, the city’s largest brokerage, having risen from eighth place the year before,” the paper notes.
