Our news update this week centers on Raging Stallion stud Ricky Sinz and his latest ventures--in and out of the studio. But first, a little background on the sexy star. It's pretty hard to deny his sex appeal--after all it wasn't a fluke that he was recently named the Raging Stallion's Man of the Year for 2009. He has a raw, masculine & aggressive style that fits in very well in the equally rugged movies found at Raging Stallion. But Ricky Sinz' sex appeal also derives from something that is unfortunately rare in adult films---acting ability. When you see any film with Ricky Sinz in it, even as outrageous as the Hotter Than Hell movies, he's very convincing. It's no wonder that he's already getting great notices for To The Last Man.

 Chicago native Ricky Sinz has a pretty colorful history and it certainly explains the tough persona he's created. He was a Golden Gloves amateur boxer at only 16, he was a debt collector In Chicago and he spent EIGHT years as a Sergeant First Class with the US Army Special Forces. After his army stint he competed in mixed martial arts, fighting in tournaments worldwide. And yes, he went undefeated.

  Ricky Sinz and two partners started a straight adult studio Hole and a Heartbeat where he directed, produced, and starred in several productions. At the time he didn't want to be tied to just one studio although he soon joined Raging Stallion as an exclusive in 2007. In a relatively short amount of time Sinz was getting critical raves and awards and Raging Stallion made him the studio's first Lifetime Exclusive. The contract covers films. print media, web markets and new projects for the gay market.

That brings us to the latest news. The new contract also gave Ricky Sinz the opportunity to buy out a former partner at Hole and a Heartbeat. He's now the creative director of this unique website. It has straight videos but the focus is on the guys, a rough and tough tattooed group of studs. Sinz' work here won't interfere with his Raging Stallion contract, including the previously announced "Straight For Pay" line. This line features many of Raging Stallion's gay and bi studs guys doing male-focused straight porn. Ricky Sinz is doing the casting and heading up this line too. And yes, Ricky Sinz identifies himself as bisexual.

 Ricky Sinz has a blog that covers just about every topic and if you really want to know about the so-called "real" Ricky Sinz, this is a great place to go and keep up with the popular star.

  One thing that we didn't know until we wrote this entry is that last year Ricky Sinz was fined $17K for speaking out AGAINST the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Given his military record, that impressed us greatly and we hope it impresses you too.
