New Release Desk: Okay, has Bel Ami been knocking their DVD inserts out of the park lately, or am I just ridiculously horny today? (Or maybe both…) The recent A+2… is alluringly subtitled “The Personal Trainers grade their final students…” Veteran sexologists Sebastian Bonnet, Josh Elliot, Luke Hamill and Alex Orioli close out the finale in the second PERSONAL TRAINERS series. Really, who wouldn’t want to have a job “training” new Bel Ami recruits in the ways of mansex? That looks like bratty golden-boy beauty Kurt Diesel, although his name doesn’t appear on the front cover.

Beauty Shot: We’ve got a bracing shot of beefcake to brighten up your cruel Monday morn. Last week we wrote about SLIDE, forthcoming on Blu-ray from Jet Set Productions and featuring our brawny hotbod this morning, studio exclusive Derec Stone. He’s pictured here in a glamour still from the forthcoming MUSCLE MOUNTAIN, which streets November 10. As we first wrote in September, he’s a “6-foot- 1-inch Midwesterner… with blue-green eyes, a ripped and muscular physique and an eight-inch cock.” Can he cook, too? Like Raging Stallion‘s forthcoming TO THE LAST MAN, Jet Set’s MUSCLE MOUNTAIN is also about ranchers. But the similarities appear to end there. Oh, and I’m particularly fond of this rippling-flesh snap (CLICK HERE) of Mr. Stone illustrating a recent story about FalconStr8Men.com. I must have a crush or something…

Press Release Roundup: As gay adult studios in the United States edge away from filming in or importing from Eastern Europe ‚Äî the crashing dollar having driven everyone to South America ‚Äî the Czech and Hungarian directors have turned to their own devices to earn a buck. Performer-director Roland Dane, whose work in recent years has been for Studio 2000 International and COLT Studio’s Olympus line, has launched a couple of hardcore wrestling sites. Yep, the interwebs are all niche, niche, niche. WrestleHard.com was launched a few months ago as a companion to WrestleAndFuck.com. They also include various martial arts, an interest of Mr. Dane’s you’ll have seen in many of his full-length features. He was joined in the venture by his longtime creative partners: shutterbug Attila G. and videographer Sacanny. You’ll recognize many familiar faces from the Eastern European repertory company, like Rod Stevens (pictured at left bulging out of the red trunks).

New Release Desk: Oh, man, remember Derek Cruise? Liquid sex, baby. He is featured alongside hardbod Tom Katt in SECRET SEX 2: THE SEX RADICALS, a 1994 Catalina Video re-release from Channel 1 Releasing. Messrs. Cruise and Katt were mind-bendingly gorgeous in their prime, yes? Featured players include Daryl Brock, Rob Cryston, Chad Donovan, Keller Hyde, Rod Majors and Zak Spears. What a helluva supporting cast! Cruise, Cryston and Spears also figure in the original SECRET SEX that costarred Aiden Shaw, Grant Larson, the late Mark West and Kurt Wolfe, among others. The SECRET SEX films were part of a weird little ’90s porn trend involving wonky science fiction plots. See also: the hilariously dated (but still sexy) CD-RAM (1994); DOIN’ TIME 2069 (1995); GAMEMASTER (1998); HOMO-GENIZED (1998, which Channel 1 re-released recently); NUDE SCIENCE (1999); TECHNICAL ECSTASY (1999); and the wackadoo classic NIGHT WALK (1995), among others.

Press Release Roundup: I’m wa-aa-ay behind posting this bit of news, but unfortunately the press release was buried deep inside my email in-box sometime Thursday last, according to forensic experts, and it was only now unearthed. Hunky Kristofer Weston sat for a Q&A with Victor at MenofColor blog ‚Äî CLICK HERE to read it ‚Äî and talked about directing for COLT Studio, the lack of black COLT Men, his abiding dedication to the BDSM community, and more.

[Editor's note: Gay Porn Times has signed a deal to provide LGBT content to industry publication XBIZ.] Gay adult pro/am website MightyMen.com has announced a new erotic vignette featuring bodybuilder Robert Van Damme as he inducts gay-for-pay newcomer Vince Ferelli into the skin trade. The vignette is titled ‚ÄúOops!‚Äù and involves Van Damme offering a special brand of assistance when Ferelli asks for help breaking into the porn business. “Vince doesn‚Äôt mention that he is straight and wants to be a straight porn star,‚Äù MightyMen webmaster Jon Royce said… CLICK HERE for the full story at XBIZ!

New Release Desk: Back in prehistory when I was young enough to know it all I would sneer at the idea of compilations. I was naive enough to be a purist about porn and wanted to preserve my favorite scenes in context. Now, eh, not so much. Those old feelings stir themselves up from their slumber only about once every sixteen months or so. But when a compilation titled THE BEST OF TOM VACARRO comes along, I am already in the front row. As Constant Readers will recall, Mr. Vacarro (whose surname is oft misspelt “Vaccaro“) shares duties as my future husband on Tuesdays, Thursday and alternate Saturdays with Dean Phoenix, Roberto Giorgio and Danny Sommers. In any case, this compilation brings together scenes from SEXUS (he fucks Sky Donovan); NEXUS (bangs Carlos Morales); HARD AT WORK (ruts with Eric Evans); and SEXPACK installments TWO (ravishing a spellbound Dean Coulter); THREE (dominating Michael Soldier) and TEN (a threesome with Jeff Allen and Austen Masters).

Press Release Roundup: I’m a bit behind the curve on this one, but Falcon Studios has begun serializing a production diary penned by performer-turned-director Steve Cruz about the roller-coaster production of BLUE MOVIE. In fact, the drama on the periphery of this film is still unfolding. CLICK HERE for the first installment, which includes an interview with Brit sex bomb Dillon Buck (pictured) and daddy-delicious cuddlebear Zak Spears, plus a handful of behind-the-scenes photos. I like this revelation from Mr. Spears in reference to his sexcapades with costar Adam Herst. “…I wasn‚Äôt into watersports until I met Adam; now if my partner is into getting pissed on, I‚Äôll do it without hesitation. My only thing is I’m piss shy. Which I find funny since I can fuck a guy in front of a group of eight people, but can’t let my bladder go in front of one.” Part Two of the production diary is due November 1st.

Press Release Roundup: Ft. Lauderdale-based PZP Productions has wrapped filming on the first installment of their nascent TWINKS FINALLY 18 line. The DVD cover model and headliner is long-haired newcomer Randy Phoenix (pictured). Director Peter Z. Pan described the new line as “a hybrid of twink gonzo movies, reality TV and the campy humor people have come to expect from the company that produced THE DA VINCI LOAD and OLIVER TWINK.” Mr. Pan said the shoot was fraught with drama as cast members dropped out of production as quickly as they were cast (been there, done that!) “I’m excited we found the exquisite Randy Phoenix to star in the movie. This pretty-boy newbie is a combination between Brad Pitt and James Dean ‚Äî with the edge of Kurt Cobain and the eyes of Michelle Pfeiffer. Like Sammy Case before him, the camera loves Randy.” TWINKS FINALLY 18 #1 is set for a late-December release. Marina Pacific will handle wholesale distribution.

New Release Desk: Chicago’s Bijou Video has a new set of precondom blue movies on tap for re-release: TUESDAY MORNING WORKOUT (1975) and RAW COUNTY (1978) by the famed erotic photographer J. Brian. Both were originally shot on film and eventually transferred to video; Bijou had each film digitally restored to create a new DVD master. TUESDAY MORNING WORKOUT features locker room sexcapades and stars Mitchell Carey, Dean Chasson and Joe Markham. “The film’s grand finale features a ten-man orgy on a wrestling mat,” Bijou sez. RAW COUNTRY was shot in Sonoma, California and features Rusty Adams (no relation), Steve Boyd, Hugh Davidson, Brian Delaney, Joe Free, Scott Larson, Ron Miles, Skip Sheppard, Dane Tremmell and Gary Young. “J. Brian let the action proceed at a slower pace,” Bijou says, “allowing the sexual heat to build. His skills as a photographer and editor are evident” and the cast down to a man are each “fantasy figures come to life.” Bijou Video has made nine J. Brian films, and thousands of his photographs, available for purchase once more.

Sneak Peek: Raging Stallion’s Chris Ward sent along a 2:08 YouTube teaser ‚Äî not the official trailer ‚Äî for their forthcoming TO THE LAST MAN. RSS exclusive Ricky Sinz (pictured in a screen cap) headlines with Scott Tanner. If you remember Tony DiMarco‘s work for Lucas Entertainment, you’ll be able to recognize his hand here, too. Mr. Ward co-directed with Mr. DiMarco and Ben Leon. CLICK HERE to watch the teaser.

Planet Porn: Pictured are CockyBoys performers Jesse Santana and Guy Parker riding herd on Bel Ami identical twins Milo Peters and Elijah Peters (no, I’m not sure which one is which, but does it really matter?) They’re seen here posing for photographers at the Kit Kat Club in Berlin for the Hustlaball last Friday, October 17. Messrs. Parker and Santana are also serving as judges for the Europe’s Next Gay Porn Star promo contest that will award the eventual winner a yearlong exclusive contract with Bel Ami. A studio rep sez they’re currently scouting new talent in Amsterdam. [Images ¬© CockyBoys.]

The 12th Annual Venus Erotic Expo in Berlin closed Sunday night with the 2008 eLine Awards. The trophy show is administered by European trade magazine MEDIENeLINE and recognizes achievement in the adult biz in a variety of categories, most of which are focused on straight porn. As far as I can tell, only three trophies were awarded to the gay/bi/trans side. Constant Readers will recall last year’s international incident involving the David Awards, handed out by GAYeLINE Magazine, when Treasure Island Media won Best U.S. Studio. If the Davids were handed out this year, the winners haven’t yet been released to the press. Anyway, helmer Herv√© Bodilis claimed Best European Director for his work for Marc Dorcel, while OFFICE SLUTS (Berlin Star Film) won Best German Gay Film. Bisex/trans studio Robert Hill Releasing was cited for Best Niche Product.

Planet Porn: Hey, wait a minute! Is that…? Yep, it is! That’s musclebod Rick Hammersmith shaking his moneymaker at the Berlin Hustlaball last Friday, October 17. He’s still built like a brick wall. We haven’t seen the power-bottom onscreen in a dog’s age. He last appeared onscreen, as far as I can tell, in 2003! Yoinks, five years?! He last lent a bit of classy raunch to DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS and POKE, PROD, PENETRATE for Raging Stallion Studios. Man, was Mr. Hammersmith an underrated performer. He only racked up about 15 titles or so that were stretched out over four years, starting in 1999. I’m particularly partial to CREW for Mustang Studios, plus TWISTED and TRUST ME for Studio 2000.
