Debunking ‘Top 5 Penis Myths’
April 29, 2011 | 3 Comments
One of my favorite new websites to peruse is the Good Men Project—last month I wrote up their “straight men and anal sex” post (see the link below)—and a new blog today by Hugo Schwyzer titled “The Top 5 Myths About the Penis” is a worth a look for our Constant Readers. (Yes, it’s a slow news cycle in GayPornLand right now, too.) “Google ‘penis myths’ and you get over 2.2 million results,” begins the article. “That should tell you something about the power and pervasiveness of half-truths and outright lies about the male sex organ.” The piece (tee-hee) first debunks the idea that the penis is a muscle and whips out—okay, I’ll stop—the truth over the average size of a penis. Mr. Schwyzer also looks at blood flow from brain to penis (and vice versa), the idea that size doesn’t matter at all during sexual relations, and the language men employ that enforces a notion that the penis is a separate entity from the body. CLICK HERE for the whole thing, so to speak.

Logan McCree Stirs Up Scottish Drama
April 29, 2011 | 6 Comments
German pornster Logan McCree—the Tattooed Man himself—has stirred up a bit of a tempest in a teapot overseas. Several weeks ago, I noticed his name popping up in news reports summarizing his scouting property to purchase in a tiny Scottish town. Naturally, his all-over body ink drew some notice. But so did the reports of his prolific skin-biz career. Who told the tabs that he is an award-winning porn actor? And what’s this about his having retired and declared his heterosexuality? Weirdness abounds. Mr. McCree recently gave an interview to the press—my colleagues at The Sword, among others, linked to it—and apologized to the townspeople of Durness for giving them something to complain about. He did not discuss his blue movies, but did reveal details of his troubled upbringing. Our Euro-Constant Readers are invited to chime in with additional perspective. He currently works in Dresden as a massage therapist. CLICK HERE for the most recent item. And CLICK HERE for his kink-heavy work over at Stag Homme Studios.

Dustin Zito’s Porn Drama Boosts ‘Real Word’ Ratings
April 29, 2011 | 6 Comments
Via RealityBlurred this morning we learn that Wednesday night’s episode of The Real World: Las Vegas was its highest-rated in three years. You may have picked up on the news that castmate Dustin Zito‘s career in all-male nudie-cuties was revealed, much to the consternation of his roomies. MTV is crowing about more than 2.5 million viewers and its best numbers in over two years among its target demographic of people aged 12-34—yes, those people were obviously looking at porn. Wait ’till that bit goes mainstream. RealityBlurred’s Andy Denhart provides some context by noting that MTV’s most recent Jersey Shore finale scored 7.6 million viewers. Nevertheless, “we can reasonably expect next season to be set in the San Fernando Valley,” he writes.

Quotable: Bleeping on the Internet
April 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Quotable: “Ooh, no girl wants to hear their boyfriend is bleeping on the internet. But hey, at least he’s only bleeping on the internet 14 hours a day, right? That’s like 10 hours a day where he’s not bleeping on the internet. So, ya know, cheer the bleep up.”
— The Soup blog, Eonline.com, responding to the shocked reaction of Dustin Zito‘s Real World: Las Vegas castmates to the news that he had participated in all-male porn.

Levi Johnston Gets Biopic Treatment
April 28, 2011 | 6 Comments
The entertainment-gossip blogs are reporting that underwear model—and ex Miley Cyrus toyboy—Justin Gaston has been cast to portray Levi Johnston in the forthcoming Sarah Palin biopic from HBO. None other than Julianne Moore will play Ms. Palin. I’m wondering if HBO will set about recreating the strapping young buck’s porn spoof GETTING LEVI’S JOHNSON via Jet Set Men. I kinda hope they do. By the way, Mr. Johnston is set to publish a tell-all this autumn. Wonder if Jet Set or his porn doppelgänger Casey Monroe will merit a mention…? (CLICK HERE to follow GPTimes on the Twitter.)

‘Killing Time’ with Conner Habib
April 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Our Constant Readers know I am a bit of a fanboy for Conner Habib, a popular porn stud with a brain—an organ that he enjoys exercising as much as other parts of his body. Last week on his blog, in case you missed it, Mr. Habib posted an essay he wrote last year, for another website, on the nature of time. He “hemmed and hawed” about posting it “partially because of the length, partially because it was already published, but mostly because of my own notions of what people come to this blog for.” He went for it anyway. It’s lengthy and digressive, often humorous and not as dense as one might expect. In any case, fascinating food for thought. After you’ve had a wank or three—Habib is currently onscreen in sexpics FLEET WEEK 2 and MEN IN SUITS, among others—I invite you to check it out. CLICK HERE for the entry titled “Killing Time.”

Drama, Tears Over Zito’s Porn Past on ‘Real World’
April 28, 2011 | 5 Comments
Last night’s episode of The Real World: Las Vegas was packed with drama and tears as castmate Dustin Zito‘s career in nudie-cuties was exposed. We twatted along on Twitter with Steven Daigle, Samuel Colt and others as the episode and the MTV after-show unfolded. Several castmates reacted as if Mr. Zito was a recovering serial rapist; but others—intriguingly, it was the men—were less upset about gay porn than with Zito’s concealing his past and making homophobic comments, perhaps due to his paranoia over exposure. And during the Real World episode he appeared to lie about having sex with guys; however, during the after-show Zito was more forthcoming. As we wrote the other day, Fratmen.tv, Zito’s former employer, has been running a teaser for The Spencer Show on its homepage that features Zito. Last night, as events unfolded, the site crashed several times. No doubt a lot of Googling was going on. Andy Dehnart of RealityBlurred interviewed Zito as well as Fratmen principal John Marsh and Real World executive producer Joe Johnston for The Daily Beast: CLICK HERE. Mr. Dehnart says he is “pretty convinced” Zito is not homophobic. “(B)etween the judgment he gets when people learn he had gay sex and bad experiences with some gay people, he has had a bad sample set from which to draw conclusions.” (At post time, the Daily Beast website was down.)

Among them are GayPornLand stalwarts Landon Conrad (seen here bathed in purple lights), handsome new-ish Ash Taylor and Jesse Santana. Plus, Dylan Vox (a/k/a Brad Benton) often serves as emcee. “With the Faultline closed for a few more weeks, MJ’s is definitely the place to go to be bad,” blogs shutterbug Gabe of Rolling Blackouts.

New Release Desk: ‘Silence of the Twinks’
April 26, 2011 | 2 Comments
New Release Desk: All-male adult used to be known for its punny titles and erotic riffs on popular pop culture films and TV shows. Nowadays, apart from a random title here and there—such as last year’s JERSEY SCORE from Jet Set Men—that art has been left to the straight and trans porn markets. Well, Euro-studios Dirty Fuckers, Raw Films and Staxus Productions are now tub-thumping for SILENCE OF THE TWINKS, PART 1. As you can see, the title and DVD insert offer a twist on the 1991 horror classic Silence of the Lambs. It’s not clear why they’re spoofing a film that’s nearly 20 years old, but at least the guys are cute. “Hannibal just can’t help himself,” reads the promo text. “He loves eating hot twink dick and ass—and then butchers them. How many twinks must die before he’s caught? Prepare yourself for the most exciting and terrifying big-cock-humping, hot-waxing, bondage-fucking, piss-slurping murder-fest of your life.” Director Vlado Iresch corralled a large, 17-member cast. The billed running time is just under 100 minutes. Euro-based VOD site Homoactive has the blue movie on exclusive for the next month or so. Dark Alley Media handles wholesale-retail for the U.S. market.

AEBN Acquires Studio 2000 Catalog, Assets
April 26, 2011 | 9 Comments
Press Release Roundup: VOD giant AEBN.net announced today it has acquired the catalog and assets of Studio 2000, adding it to an all-male adult portfolio that includes Raging Stallion Studios and Falcon Studios; the latter two labels were merged late in 2010. The move makes AEBN one of the biggest players in gay adult entertainment with properties that encompass several of the industry’s best-known production labels, a large affiliate network and numerous VOD membership sites. Studio 2000 was founded in 1993 by industry pioneers Scott Masters and John Travis. They retired and sold the company five years ago; just last month, following a period of dormancy, S2K announced it had gone out of business (see the link below). Constant Readers will recall I was S2K’s production manger from 2006-08. Some 180 titles will be added to the AEBN, NakedSword and SexGaymes VOD menus. No decision has been made about whether new titles will be produced under the S2K label, per today’s announcement. “The Studio 2000 library holds significant titles, including DREAM TEAM, which won the GayVN Best Picture award in 1999. John Travis and Scott Masters are two of the greatest names in porn history. We are thrilled to add them to our library,” said Falcon-Raging Stallion President Chris Ward.

New Release Desk: ‘Live Sex’
April 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment
New Release Desk: Boutique label Hard Friction—owned and operated by real-life boyfriends and performer-moguls Bruno Bond and Steve Cruz—is touting LIVE SEX starring Heath Jordan (that’s him dominating the DVD insert). “Live cam shows only use the hottest actors with the best chemistry,” reads the promo text. “See these hot duos with the energy of the live shoot and all the intense close-ups, hot editing and production values that aren’t available in the live stream. These are the best parts of a studio production fused with the immediacy of a live show for a new, erotic experience.” Costars include popular hotbods Tony Buff, Colby Keller and Alessio Romero with Felix Barca, Troy Daniels, Juaquin Ramirez and Roman Wright. As a side note, I wonder if any of our Constant Readers have noticed an uptick in the prevalence of webcam shows? It was all the rage, what, a decade ago? Then the idea of cams sort of trickled away. But its suddenly popular again, or is it just that I’m receiving more press releases than non-porn civilians? Raging Stallion Studios is managing wholesale-retail.

Quotable: Sex and Education
April 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Quotable: “People get hysterical about sex. They want pornography to do the job that they themselves are not doing, which is educating our young people how to be safer. Unless a pornography movie is advertised as educational [...], it is not educational. And the fact that people are reduced to looking at an entertainment medium to find out about sex is sad. It would be less sad if it wasn’t so tragic. Watching pornography to find out about how sex works is like watching a James Bond movie to find out how spies do their job.”
— Nina Hartley (b. 1959), performer and director, to Jezebel (July 14, 2010).
