Porn Awards: XBIZ, Cybersocket Kudos Next Week
January 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Porn Awards: The post-holidays period is painfully slow in GayPornLand, but we’ll have some buzz and sexploits to talk about next week as the 10th annual XBIZ Awards and 11th annual Cybersocket Web Awards announce their winners. The XBIZ kudos are primarily focused on the straight biz, but they do have a handful of gay and trans categories. As I wrote in earlier posts, Titan Media has won Gay Studio of the Year honors four consecutive years and they’re up again this year, while Raging Stallion Studios has won Gay Movie of the Year the past three years–TO THE LAST MAN 1-2 and FOCUS/REFOCUS and BRUTAL–and they’re nommed again this year. The XBIZ kudos unspool next Tuesday, January 10, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The announcement firmly notes “formal attire strictly enforced.” Er, what exactly does that mean in the skin biz? In the meantime, the XBIZ Retail Expo runs Jan. 9-10, while the XBIZ LA conference concurrently unspools Jan. 9-11. And then we have the Cybersockets on Monday, Jan. 9, at The Factory nightclub in West Hollywood. As you know, GPTimes is up for its fifth consecutive gong as Surfer’s Choice: Best Porn Blog. It’s one of 29 categories honoring the spectrum of gay-biz companies, websites and performers. Stay tuned for more scoop. CLICK HERE for the awards website.

Happy New Year from GPTimes
December 31, 2011 | 3 Comments
I’ve said it over and over again this past year and I really fucking mean it: thank you to our dedicated Constant Readers for your continued support and encouragement. GPTimes won the Grabby Award for Best Porn Blog last summer and snagged another Cybersocket Web Awards citation thanks to your many, many emails. You helped me sell a whole pile of Gay Porn Heroes-my first book!–and called in when I was on the radio, and left scores of comments to hundreds of daily posts. We couldn’t have done it without you crazy kids. 2011 was quite a roller-coaster of a year and we’re looking ahead to bigger and better things in 2012 as we approach the Mayan Apocalypse. Hot, wet kisses to ya. Bless you and everyone who looks like you! Salud!

CockyBoys Orgies and Product Placement
December 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Merry (or Happy) post-Christmas to all of our Constant Readers around the globe. Hope you had a pleasant, appropriately filthy holiday weekend. I will be returning to our series of photos of sexy Cute Boys Kissing, but in the meantime, check out these exclusive shots from the latest CockyBoys webisodes titled NAME OF THE GAME. Part One of an orgy scene went live last Monday; Part Two went live today. “Marc Dylan is the center of the scene,” says a CockyBoys rep. “It also features our exclusives Tommy Defendi, Mason Star and Kennedy Carter, plus Turk Mason. Tommy plays a struggling artist lacking inspiration; Mason plays a wide-eyed newbie to New York who wants to be a famous go-go dancer.” And, inevitably, whomping hot sex ensues. Notice anything familiar about these photos? (Click to embiggen.) That bright-yellow book on the table is Gay Porn Heroes . Hey, I suddenly love product placement, especially when it has to do with my own products being placed. Cheers to CockyBoys for the holiday surprise. CLICK HERE for the sexplay. By the by, the orgy was directed by Mr. Ray Dragon himself.

December 20, 2011 | 4 Comments
Dept. of Self-Promotion: Hot, wet kisses to Butch Harris of the venerable ManNet.com—we’ve been colleagues for 100 years, give or take—for their fantastic review of Gay Porn Heroes by Brent Blue. It’s one of the longest, most comprehensive reviews of the book to date. I’m grateful for the attention given to it, and happy to debate how I winnowed down the list to just 100 skin stars and why they were sorted into one category or another. CLICK HERE for the full review. Along those lines, I’m the subject of a Q&A published to the official Falcon Studios blog. Among other questions, I named my choice for the quintessential Falcon star—another painful deliberation, believe me. CLICK HERE for the full interview. Cheers!
