September 6 - 12, 2004

A particular era of gay porn retreats further into the past with the August 25th passing of performer and director Geoffrey Karen Dior. Ms. Dior had seemed fairly indestructible despite struggles with drug addiction and an HIV diagnosis that took several harrowing turns in recent years. Geoffrey Karen Dior (whose birth name was Geoffrey Gann) was 37 years old. He died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood with his boyfriend at his bedside. The official cause of death was cirrhosis of the liver. His remains were cremated and returned to his home state of Missouri where his family held a private memorial service and burial.

It’s still pretty quiet in GayPornLand as summer winds down. This week’s column is another smorgasbord of items as I plow through the drifts of press releases gathering dust on my desk. A highlight of the week was a leisurely Italian dinner in West Hollywood with directors Jerry Douglas and John Rutherford. Both gentlemen have been locked into an editing suite in West Hollywood with Andrew Addams as they tinker with the final cut of BUCKLEROOS (from the Buckshots subsidiary line of Colt Studio).

This week we have a hodgepodge of items for your delectation. To wit: Additional clarifying details regarding last week’s column on the death of Geoffrey Karen Dior; the gay porn directors who were honored this summer by the Free Speech Coalition; Jenna Jameson’s continued success as an author; a bulging basket of New Releases, and more.

Following last week’s column on the death of performer/director Dior, I heard from her domestic partner. He had a couple of clarifications, the main one being that Ms. Dior’s ashes were not buried in Missouri; they are currently with his boyfriend here in Los Angeles. Their final disposition is yet to be determined.

Wrapping up the latest happenings in Gay Porn:

* California Assemblyman Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) this week called for the adult industry to “self-regulate” condom use and regular STD testing, or face the wrath of the minions of Hell. Okay, I fudged that last part. But Mr. Koretz’ letter went out to every single adult company, gay and straight. In the stories that followed (including a report I caught on National Public Radio!) virtually no one mentioned the simple fact that the gay adult industry has self-regulated for fifteen-freaking-years.

Have you noticed Sammy Case? If you like ‘em on the lower-end of college-age, you know who I’m talking about. Newcomer Sammy Case first appeared on the April/May 2004 cover of “All Boy” magazine, but it was the pup’s subsequent September 2004 cover that blew things up in a major way for him.
