Since our site JackManly primarily focuses on the world of gay male erotica ("porn" sounds just too tawdry, doesn't it?) we decided to save our list of favorites from this genre until the end. With so many men and movies and sites from which to choose, these were difficult lists to narrow down. So if you don't see your favorites here, it's not a slight against them or your tastes. The guys here simply raised our blood pressure the most. As with all previous lists we aren't ranking them or listing them in alphabetical order. We prefer to keep you guessing.

         
                                    Jake Deckard                                                                                          Jason Ridge

Top Ten Mainstream Porn Studs
 
Jake Deckard--What more can be said about this handsome, muscular, tattooed and versatile performer that hasn't already been written? Arguably he's the main draw of Raging Stallion and for good reason. He pushes boundaries, he takes on each role with lusty enthusiasm and is always believable. Even his non-sexual behind-the scenes footage gets us hot and bothered! It's no wonder he was the Raging Stallion Man of the Year in 2007.

Jason Ridge--Handsome and charismatic, plus eyes that are so dreamy as to make you fall in love. He's a busy guy too. He's done work for virtually every studio and he started a very insightful and entertaining blog. This year he launched his own company Ridgeline Films and produced and starred in the first ambitious feature A Rising Star. No matter where his career goes in 2008 we'll be watching.


          
                            Brock Masters                                                                                    Mason Wyler

 Brock Masters--There are performers that act big, tough, and manly and then there are those where it's obviously no act. That's Brock Masters.  Dominant top with a deep voice and hyper-masculine demeanor that makes him so believable in roles like army sergeants, park rangers, cops, etc.

Mason Wyler--The only performer to make both this list and our amateur site list. We love him because he gives it his all no matter what he does. His appeal comes from his down-on-the farm looks coupled with a sexual and unrepressed demeanor. He's also got some plans to form his own company in '08 and you can be sure we'll be there when it starts. Check out his movies at the JackManly Men page at our main site.

  
                               Roman Ragazzi                                                                                        Tyler Saint


Roman Ragazzi--Darkly handsome, muscular and hairy he made a name for himself in several Raging Stallion features this year. The publicity of being a former Israeli diplomat certainly helped his career here in films, but we're sure he would have been a draw without that push from the news. After all he's the 2008 Raging Stallion Man of the Year.

Tyler Saint--This smooth and muscular manly performer made an auspicious debut in over 20 films for various studios in a variety of roles. So it was easy for him to make an impression on us. If you haven't heard of him yet, we're very sure you will. Check out his movies at the JackManly Men page at our main site.

                    
                                      Dirk Jager                                                                                            Dean Flynn

Dirk Jager--He just might have the most picture perfect body, as well as a handsome bearded look. Another of those versatile TitanMen performers that can be romantic and well as sexual in a variety of roles. Being sensuous in rough-and-tumble type movies isn't easy, but Jager pulls it off well.

Dean Flynn--One of the most appealing performers in films. Imagine a slightly rough around the edges version of the guy-next-door. He had some big shoes to fill when he starred in Spyquest 3, but he used this opportunity to create his own following at TitanMen, based on his looks and his very natural performances. 

             
                                                 Dean Phoenix                                                             Gage Weston

Dean Phoenix--Handsome, charismatic, versatile and whose appeal crosses many tastes and desires. We're so glad that he is still performing and making more men fall in love with that body, those beautiful eyes and that sexy devilish smile. He's made his mark at several studios but he's now at Colt and has his own website there

Gage Weston--When he appeared on several Bravo shows (Kathy Griffin & Work Out) he sealed the deal of appeal --for real. Ex-military, sweet demeanor, killer bod and versatile he is well on his way to being on of Colt Studio's all time classic men. It's also pretty hot that his real-life bf  Luke Garrett is also a Colt  model--keeping it all in the family!


 Top Ten Amateur Site Studs

          
                                       Tyler Cummings                                                                            Johnny Castle

Tyler Cummings--Chiseled good looks, sexy eyes, tanned muscular body, this straight stud gets us going so much we'll even watch his scenes with girls. But it's his ability to do solo and bi-scenes with the same enthusiasm as his strict straight scenes that make us watch for every new video. He's as super-nice in person as much as he is super-hot. Check him out at Next Door Male, Tommy D XXX and all the Next Door Studios sites

Mason Wyler--See above.

Johnny Castle--There's a good reason why this straight stud won Man of the Year honors. Sure, we'd love it if he has some guy/guy scenes but you have to respect that he hasn't sold out. Imagine if he did--you know he'd be plain awful going through the motions.
    
                                   Michael Von Steel                                                                          Chris Rockway


Michael Von Steel--This tall and sexy performer has branched out into Playgirl and legit acting (The Lair on here!)
but he still puts in a performance on his old stamping ground Jake Cruise. He's got such a classic look that he could be a professional model. Thank goodness he's put his versatile sexual prowess to work and  been on some of the hottest scenes online.

Chris Rockway--He may very well be Randy Blue's most popular performer and you don't have to wonder why. Handsome muscular, manly and in 2007 he listened to his fans by doing more with each successive video, until he finally bottomed at the end of the year.

             
                                      Vin Marco                                                                                          Tommy D

Vin Marco--He's gone from performer on muscle worship sites to the co-owner of his own site ManifestMen where he's starred in and produced some of the most beautifully shot videos on the web. He's cut back on his on-screen appearances but this super hot and super nice muscle stud hasn't lost his focus of producing an awesome site.

Tommy D--Don't be deceived by his innocent guy-next-door looks. He is an enthusiastic sexual dynamo, versatile in straight, bi and gay scenes. He's also active in various sites besides his own ( Tommy D XXX  and is always looking to  produce the best scenes online.

             
                                          Reese Rideout                                                                                   Danny


Reese Rideout--If there was one person we'd say was co-favorite at Randy Blue it would be this handsome muscular performer. He does all his scenes with style and gusto and seemingly does it naturally. He's raised the bar so high that other performers have a lot top live up to.

Danny--There are so many hot guys at Sean Cody that we actually had the hardest time narrowing it down. But Danny has been the one who made one of the biggest impressions here. He's made a transition from solo performer to top and bottom within the course of a few months. Handsome and with a flawless killer body, Danny
is simply perfect.
        
                                   Sean Steel                                                                                                 Brodie

Sean Steel--Another of our favorites who returned to MightyMen this year. Muscular, hot, straight and willing to perform on camera---what more can you ask for? He loves to show off his incredible body whether it's flexing or doing solo work and we love to see it.

Honorable Mention:

Brodie Sinclair--If we had decided to make this list more than ten, Brodie would have been #11. He's been in the news a lot this year and has done both mainstream and amateur porn. This tattooed stud is hard to define physically and sexually--and that's just the way he likes. Try and label him--just try.

           
                                                 Ajay                                                                                              Rodney

Ajay--He was a big favorite at Sean Cody but sadly retired from the scene to become a high-profile personal trainer  (using his real name Aaron Savvy). We can't blame him for quitting, and we still have a nice body of work to watch and re-watch. One of the hottest bods we ever saw.

Rodney (Sean Cody)--Gymnast turned versatile Sean Cody amateur stud, Rodney is so comfortable in his videos he makes it all look so easy. Watching him stretch and show his limber qualities is reason enough to recommend him, but there's a love more to him than that.

Just Under the Radar:
 We got a nice taste of these guys this year and they could easily move into our lists in 2008.  

       
                            Boyce                                                       Cameron                                                  Payne

 Boyce (Sean Cody)--Such a natural that we hope he comes back for more at Sean Cody in 2008. This sexy jock is a standout in many ways, but we fell for him the instant his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw another performer strip down.

Cameron (Next Door Studios)--so serious and so sexy, this guy is destined for big things--we know it. Check out Next Door Male if you don't see it.

Payne (Fratmen)--It's hard to single out one guy from FratMen but Payne just pushes every button for us.  Muscular, hung, handsome great smile and always looks like he's having fun. Again, it makes US have fun too.

  As we mentioned earlier, it's very difficult to come up with lists like this because we follow so many guys on various sites. So it's important for us to list those sites that continue to enthrall us with men and videos. Look for that list next time as well as our choice for the JackManly Man of the Year. Think you know who it is? One clue--he's appeared on one of our lists already.
