Countdown to Sean Cody #1000 Part 4

      

Thanks to TWO interconnected video releases this week from Sean Cody we're inching that much closer to the site's 1000th video. Video #989 Cameron & Jake was accompanied by #990 Cameron & Jake: Behind The Scenes and together they give you a pretty good representation of the site, both in front of the camera and behind--in more ways than one

 Cameron & Jake is not a pivotal video or a milestone since both guys have appeared on the site before and neither is doing anything they haven't done before. Jake has actually gotten up there in the number of videos he's done for Sean Cody---this weekend's releases bring him up to 28 (second to both Harley & Kurt at 29 videos). So you get a very good idea of how popular the versatile Jake is with the site. Cameron is still a newbie, and a quiet one at that and while his guy on guy experiences here have only been as a bottom he identifies hiself as straight (along with Jake).

 

 In this week's two videos you get a pretty accurate picture of Jake, so named because of his passing resemblance to Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake has somewhat of a goofy outgoing personality who likes to act up for the cast and crew. He's a bit less funny than he thinks he is probably because he's not as subtle as some of the guys who cut up for the camera. He's also probably more bisexual than he'll admit but why quibble. Like several other Sean Cody guys Jake is very body conscious and has gotten bigger since he first started.

 Cameron is also noticeably bigger since he first started and while we doesn't get as much info about him we got a few hints. In the main video he really does seeem like he's getting roughed up but in the "behind the scenes" video he seems to be taking it in stride. Could be he's more of a performer than we give him credit for. The kissing with Jake is still a little awkward but the heat of their fuck session is very, very hot.

 We dont know if Sean Cody was the first to feature "behind the scenes" videos but they are fascinating and fun to watch here. For one thing it's probably the closest you'll get to seeing the models as they really are. There's also all the stuff that seems to be going on at the Sean Cody set. It's an elaborate set for sure and a lot of work goes into the designs & layout. There have been so many design changes that you have to wonder what the budget is like. Even though we don't see the directors or crew we do hear them in these videos and see how their rapport with the models is so crucial. This has been the case since the beginning when Sean Cody seemed to be doing much of the work himself. No matter who he's had working for him the SC style has carried through seamlessly.

Coyote Point: New From Joe Gage & Titan

 
 
  We look forward to every new Joe Gage movie but this week's release Coyote Point from Titan Men looks particularly good--and a bit of a departure for the legendary director. For one thing it's a period piece. Also, this time the non-urban setting which Gage seems to love, takes place in the desert. Plus, the story also involves the military and it's been awhile since Joe Gage had this motif in one of his films (although he does love the cops!) 

  Coyote Point takes place in 1953 in a small town near Las Vegas and apparently close to a military base too. So you can imagine there's probably lots of closeted homsexuality & furtive longings abounding here. Fortunately there's also an "infamous house" nearby where like-minded men can fulfill their hidden sexual desires. As with other recent Titan releases Coyote Point has reduced the number of sex scenes to three but has increased the length of each scene. 

             

 The first scene is one of those time-homored sex fantasies---the kid who cleans up his hunky neighbor's yard and gets rewarded with some hot sex. In this scene Luke Cassidy in the "helpful" young man while David Anthony is the hot-to-trot neighbor. Anthony seems perfect for the role since he has those timeless movie star handsome looks. The scene apparently is only an oral one (we can't be sure) but these two show up later at that secluded house we mention.

  The action moves to a nearby garage where studly military man Scott Campbell and cop Dakota Rivers have a steamy encounter. If you like men in unform Joe Gage has seemingly provided you a double dose here. Interesting to see Dakota Rivers in a Titan movie--seems like a good fit. 

         

 The third scene seems to be the big one with lots of perforjmers & lots of action. Military studs JR Matthews and Tyler Saint apparetly aren't getting any action from their dates so they head to the "deserted house near the town's own version of Lover's Lane". Awaiting them are the aforementioned David Anthony & Luke Cassidy and the big mushroom headed cock of Slade. From the trailer it looks like there's a lot of changing up of sex partners here. 

  Of course we think that the entire cast is pretty damn hot but it will be especially interesting to see Gage direct JR Matthews again. The exceptionally sex-looking Matthews finally got some extended dialog and character development in Gage's Battle Creek Breakdown so we're eager to see more of that here in Coyote Point

Steven Daigle XXXPosed: The Review

 

 From the moment it came out that Chi Chi LaRue had signed reality star Steven Daigle (from CBS’ Big Brother) to do a gay porn flick it seemed obvious that this special & unique circumstance would require an out-of-the ordinary production. That’s exactly the result we found in Steve Daigle XXXPosed. Director Chi Chi LaRue has concocted a tasty morsel here that’s part faux documentary & part satire, loaded with a very sexy cast (including some welcome surprises), and topped off with some crazy hot sex scenes. Most importantly, and we say this without exaggeration, a very hot instant porn star is born in the person of Steven Daigle.

  Steve Daigle XXXPosed is actually a fun film within a film within a film. Told in partial flashback, Chi Chi has in her possession a sex tape featuring the reality star. At the same time Chi Chi is in production on her latest sex flick and the filming of each hot scene unfolds before the viewer’s eyes. All this culminates in a "present time" sequence when a VERY pivotal sex scene is shot to complete Chi Chi’s "fictional" production and Steve Daigle XXXPosed. As such the lines are blurred between reality & fantasy and it all works very well.

Right from the start of Steve Daigle XXXPosed you’ll see this fantasy/reality play mix out. At a noisy & somewhat chaotic dance club how a hand held video camera captures some of the action including Jeremy Bilding coming on to go-go boy newcomer Jimmy Durano. It turns out Steve Daigle is the amateur videographer and when takes a bathroom break he hands the camera over to Jeremy . Jeremy & Jimmy both follow with camera in hand and all three slightly sloshed & horny guys crowd into a bathroom stall for an uninhibited three-way. The dizzying footage is part hand held camera and part "surveillance camera" footage without music—only the voices of the guys carrying on. Even though it’s not really a spur-of-the-moment sex tape it looks totally realistic thanks to the fact that the camera changes hands several times & the composition looks amateurish.

                

 Naturally we’ve seen plenty of Jeremy Bilding in action before and we’ve seen Jimmy Durano before too so the question mark is Steven Daigle himself. Given the flavor of the scene it’s really hard to tell much but Daigle looks great & performs as though he’s been doing this for awhile. It’s a tantalizing introduction to Steven Daigle but if you’re a little distracted by the claustrophobic look, don’t worry….there’s more Steven later.

After the scene there’s some buzz on the set of Chi Chi LaRue’s latest movie that the director has the sex tape and may release it. But work goes on and we next see Johnny Hazzard & Paul Wagner performing on the set. Talk about a hot scene that has just about everything you want in porn. There’s kissing, sucking, & fucking and it’s just loaded with chemistry & passion. Physically the two guys don’t look like they match up but in action they really do. Johnny Hazzard still maintains the good boy/bad boy persona while Paul Wagner has that no-nonsense serious & masculine demeanor. They play off each other very well. Once again we are very impressed by the natural quality of both performers.

   

  Back on the set of some cowboy scene Josh Griffin is waiting around for his scene partner and Chi Chi is seen talking on the phone with an unidentified caller. There’s an undercurrent of trouble on the set and Chi Chi seems to be making contingency plans . This little non-sex scene may seem pointless but it does act as a good bridge and it adds that aura of heightened reality to the whole thing.

Meanwhile another sex scene is shot, this one featuring Slade as the school teacher/coach , playing with himself in his classroom and caught in the act by his jock-strapped pupil Brandon Lewis. While Slade jerks off furiously with his eyes closed Brandon walks in and starts sucking off the mushroom-headed "teacher". The two guys do just about everything on the desk chair and on the desk—it’s a super hot & sweaty flip flop fuck scene with each guy getting pretty worn out. Given that this is a scene within a scene things are pretty loose & easy but both Slade & Brandon Lewis give it their all. As with the previous scene there’s an interesting dynamic going on here. Brandon Lewis has come a long way in a very short time as a very natural performer. He’s a lot more serious and focused here thanks in part to those same qualities Slade has always had.

     

Finally, Chi Chi comes to Josh Griffin and tells him there’s been a change in his scene—his partner has been replaced with Steven Daigle. Wearing his cowboy hat Daigle looks like he just he did when he first made the scene on Big Brother with some obvious differences. Interestingly Steven doesn’t play the guy getting seduced in this scene. He’s the passionate aggressor, on top of Josh Griffin, kissing him fully (and he sure looks like a great kisser too!) If you didn’t notice it in the first scene you’ll see here that Daigle came prepared for his first movie.

   

He’s got a tight-muscled and very hot body that looks great from every angle—and you’ll definitely see all of those angles here. Before long, both guys are naked and Steven is sucking on Josh for all its worth. The two guys do change positions but even when Steven is getting blown he isn’t lying back passively. This dynamic performing style is very welcome----and a nice surprise considering that Steven Daigle was a bit more staid when he was on BB. This verbal, hot & sweaty performer goes full force when Josh Griffin is fucking him and it’s almost shocking (in a good way) to see Steven Daigle in a whole new way. Of course we still think of him as this very nice guy with a very sweet smile. However this scene and Steve Daigle XXXPosed shows that being the nice guy and the hot uninhibited sex machine are NOT mutually exclusive.

Countdown to Sean Cody #1000 Part 3

           

  Continuing our spotlight on 
Sean Cody as the site nears its 1000th video today we take a look at this week's video #988 featuring the debut of Nick. This Northern California native is tall, handsome, lean & enviably ripped and has a passing resemblance to David Taylor from his earlier porn appearances.
Usually 
Sean Cody likes to find at least one characteristic about a new model that will pique member interest and give a hint as to what kind of scenes, if any, he'll be appearing in. In the case of Nick the interesting tidbit happens during the interview process.

  As with many Sean Cody models Nick identifies himself as straight but admits (unlike many straight guys period) that he likes his butt played with. In fact during his two jack-off scenes here he does quite a pick of finger poking & probing on his own. From the way he goes to town it's pretty obvious that while he may not let others go that far with his hole, he's really in to doing it to himself.

 So, like previous Sean Cody guys who are into ass-play we imagine that when Nick returns he'll probably get a good topping from another model. Who will it be? And when? Ahh, that's the beauty of Sean Cody. We think that Nick will returns and get topped but nothing is ever assured so predicting a scene partner is just as pointless. It's time to wait & see.

Colby Keller At Real Guys Exposed

 

 Talk about perfect synergy! This week one of our favorite sites Real Guys Exposed released its recently shot video with one of our fave stars Colby Keller and it's obvious to us that this was one of the most perfect outlets for this tall & handsome star. As we mentioned before Jack Manly was on hand for this video & photo shoot at Real Guys Exposed so we knew how hot the video would be. That said, the final edited video is even more of a treat than we anticipated and if you don't already have a major crush on Colby Keller you will after seeing this video.

 As we've mentioned many times before Real Guys Exposed is more than just another online video site featuring hot guys getting off for the camera. Oh, it does have plenty of online sex but it's woven together with interviews of the performers to create "docurotica". The beauty of the interview footage is that site host Robert Chandler knows just the right questions to ask so that the models feel comfortable revealing more about themselves. As such, even if you've seen the models elsewhere you'll get a much better idea of who they really are here.

 Granted, ever since Colby Keller started his blog Big Shoe Diaries he's done a really good job of revealing the man behind the porn star persona. Real Guys Exposed does a very good job of compacting much about what we've discovered about Colby Keller into a neat package. We won't spoil it for you but in the video you'll learn his likes & dislikes, his attitudes about sex & porn, etc. It's very hard to see porn stars as nothing else but sexual beings so it's very refreshing to see Real Guys Exposed give them depth and make them even more attractive. As for the sex in the video we still find it surprising that Colby Keller is as shy as he is because he seems so natural & open sexually to the point that he gets a little verbal towards the end of his video. 

 We had already given Colby Keller a Jack Manly Men page before this Real Guys Exposed video but if we hadn't, this new video who have made it imperative that we do so now. By the way, shortly we'll be publishing our own photos and mini-interview with Colby Keller--stay tuned. AND...Robert Chandler also has more Colby Keller footage coming up at Real Guys Exposed. We can't wait!

Snickers Divas!

   Chalk up another winning commercial from Snickers! We all loved seeing TV icon Betty White in that Super Bowl Snickers ad (see below) which again showed why her appeal is timeless. Now Snickers has struck again with another just plain awesome commercial:

                     

   We don't know if the divas (and gay icons) that appear in this commercial will get as much career traction as Betty has (she's confirmed to be a guest host of SNL soon) but it sure shows these two have a sense of humor about themselves. It shows once again that a true icon is one who pokes fun at their image.

Cruz News

 Thanks to our busy bud Steve Cruz it seems we are never at a loss for words when it comes to news. Thankfully he's taken some time in between projects (and during) to tweet & blog and fill in fans on what's going on. 

  Because this is a time-sensitive bit of news we should mention right from the start that the Steve Cruz/Bruno Bond website Hard Friction will have a LIVE show this week on Thursday March 11 at 8PM Pacific. Both Steve & Bruno are hosting and presenting live adult entertainment. They'll also interviewing Derrick Hanson with the possibility of this sexy guest star getting into the act too. This show is actually one of the MenLive shows which now moves to this new time slot. 

  Incidentally Steve has been very busy in the editing room working on the next Hard Friction DVD. Steve has mentioned on more than occasion that this second compilation surpasses the first one. Having seen & reviewed the first DVD we can tell you that's saying quite a lot. Coming up on the site is rising star Trent Diesel (March 18) in his first screen test and Steve with Tony Aziz (March 25) who is one of the stars of
Tales of the Arabian Nights. 
 
  As mentioned before Steve Cruz is now the official principal videographer for Raging Stallion and you'll soon see his work both in front & behind the camera in the aforementioned  Tales of the Arabian Nights. As a reminder the 45 minute behind-the-scenes featurette starts airing exclusively at Hard Friction on March 18. It's being shown in two-parts and will be part of the movie's 5-disc collection.

 Right now Steve Cruz is in production on the next Raging Stallion tattoo-themed flick. The movie is untitled as of this writing and we're not sure that it's following in the tradition of the other tattoo videos Ink Storm & Ink Stain (originally produced by Jake Deckard's Screaming Eale XXX Productions). So far the film features Alexsander Freitas, Adam Killian, Drake Jaden & Santino Vega. In fact Killian, Jaden, & Vega just filmed this week. It would seem a natural for David Taylor to be in this one too but so far we haven't heard if he's doing anything right now....

Playgirl Gets Their Nude Celebrity: Ronnie Kroell



 Playgirl has finally gotten a celebrity to show it all off! He's Ronnie Kroell, the runner-up from the first season of Bravo's Make Me a Super Model. Of course readers of this blog (and followers of the Bravo show) recall that Ronnie was the very popular and handsome, sweet & sexy openly gay contestant who had a "bromance" with fellow contestant Ben. Ronnie almost won the competition (determined by audience votes), coming in a close second to Hollie. Ronnie was talented to be sure but you can't discount a huge gay voting block that almost provided Ronnie Kroell with the win. We venture to say that this block probably was one of the reasons why Bravo did away with the audience voting angle.

 In spite of coming in second Ronnie Kroell still obtained a modeling contract and moved to New York to continue pursuing his career as well as remaining politically active. His popularity certainly hasn't waned either given the fact that his personal Facebook page reached the limit of followers so he had to create a fan page version. So, congratulations go out to one of our own who has the balls to reveal all for the camera.

 This story is pretty ironic all around when you think about it.

  Here you have a gay man coming to the rescue of Playgirl, billed as "Entertainment For Women" even though we all know that it had a huge gay following as a print magazine. After the magazine killed its print edition early in 2009 it still maintained its online edition--which continues to this day. Then late last year Playgirl got a big boost when it announced it had signed Sarah Palin's favorite ex-future son-in-law Levi Johnston to do a celebrity centerfold. There was lots of anticipation for this and the public interest was such that Playgirl hinted that they might put out a special print edition of the magazine and if this did well they might go to a quarterly. 

 Well we all know how THAT turned out. Levi didn't show everything and though he's still enjoying a few extra time on his "fifteen minutes of fame" s Sarah's foil his gay appeal certainly has diminished. This little saga did provide some inspiration for a gay porn parody, Jet Set's March flick Getting Levi's Johnson.
 
 In spite of this minor debacle Playgirl didn't give up and sought out another celebrity to do a centerfold and this time would feature full frontal nudity. The names that were thrown out there were infamous if nothing else. There was ex-football player & "dog-lover" Michael Vick and reality show lothario Jon Gosselin. Even though neither was signed it's likely that the magazine got a fair share of negative comments over the prospects of these two. 

  So, here we go again. Will Ronnie Kroell boost Playgirl? Will it help HIS career? Time will tell.

News Round-Up

  Once again we have another collection of news tidbits from the past few days and weeks. Plus what has often become commonplace when we do these news round-ups we've got an entirely separate update coming up thanks to busy-as-can-be pornster Steve Cruz. 

 Get well wishes go out to legend Chi Chi LaRue who tweeted yesterday that she was getting a little nip 'n' tuck or as she put it "I'm off to have my face snatched!!!"  Yes, Twitter is everywhere...the dear thing even used it in post-op! The porn diva doesn't seem to be in much pain and we assume that she'll be back on her feet rather quickly--there's a new movie ready to roll.

  The next movie for Chi Chi LaRue is the third Steve Daigle flick. No word on the title or the cast just yet but that should be revealed shortly. In the meantime his first movie Steve Daigle XXXPosed is available now and we should be reviewing it this week. The next movie is Steven Daigle Stalked and it's due out next month (?) and it looks like there will be a premiere party at MJ's in Silverlake. Speaking of personal appearances every year here in LA the Museum of Television has its William S Paley Festival honoring current & classic TV shows. Participants include cast members, producers, writers, etc and the evening includes a panel screenings, etc. This year one of the shows honored was The Vampire Diaries, created & produced by Kevin Williamson. Well, guess who Williamson's date was? Yes, new porn celebrity Steven Daigle. 

 Another porn celebrity who also started out on TV is retiring from the adult biz--Kirk Cummings. As you recall he was on American Idol several seasons ago and was mocked pretty brutally. After that he got into porn while continued with his music. Well, he's just announced that he's officially quitting the biz and devoting his time to his music, under his real name Zach Mackensie

  Returning to the biz is Dean Monroe. He's back in front of the cameras after a two-year hiatus (WOW) and you'll soon be able to see him at the always hot UK Naked Men.

Twin Peaks 2

 

Well, that's didn't take long. Last week when Corbin Fisher introduced Luca (formerly known as Jesse from Frat Men) the site mentioned his twin brother (who was also at
Frat Men as Jesse) and strongly hinted he might show up here too. Lo & behold this week Corbin Fisher introduced Liam, the straight twin. Where this will lead we don't know, but the possibilities are very tantalizing.

 At
Frat Men the twins were at times hard to distinguish from one another because they often had the same length hair and style. Of course this added to the mystique---and confusion. So, gay twin Jesse grew his hair out while straight Joshua kept it short and they've carried this difference over to Corbin Fisher. In fact the two have seemingly worked even more on distinguishing themselves. Luca still has the longer hair of the two and Liam's shorter hair also seems a shade lighter. Both guys have very sexy lean muscled bods but Liam is just a bit tighter and more muscled. It's not a super-big difference but it is there.

             

 Actually we can say where we think things will go here, at least at first. Luca is obviously more likely to have scenes with the other
Corbin Fisher models right off the bat. Liam is apt to appear at the straight site Amateur College Sex first and if he does do guy-on-guy scenes chances are he'll be eased into it. It may be a bit harder to get the brothers in a video together and even if Corbin Fisher
 accomplishes it don't expect to see the brothers getting intimate. Stay tuned...
