At the this of year when it comes to gift-giving most of you probably don't give much consideration to what we collectively and euphemistically call "gay erotica".  Sure, we'd love to be able to give as presents a multi-month membership to a website or a hot DVD.  We'd probably even love to put these items on our wish lists. Friends MIGHT understand, family members...not so much. Websites and studios understand this to some extent, but they also understand that you'd like to treat yourself to something special for the holidays. With that in mind here are some current and upcoming deals and events to warm up your nights.

 As we mentioned before Chaos Men is presenting its 2nd annual holiday treat, 13 straight days of new videos. Host Bryant Ockert is quite candid about the fact that this is not a way to get new members but more of a thanks to Chaos Men members. The first day featured popular models Jagger & Ransom together and day two features the debut of Gemini in a "service" video. There are more solos to come, more pairings and one with Ockert and a model that according to the press release "just got a little out of hand." HOT.

 Randy Blue is known for putting on great live shows, free to existing members. On Halloween Reese Rideout was joined by Kevin Falk & Leo Giamani for a cute spoofy-scary video which turned into a suckfest and circle jerk. For the Christmas holiday Randy Blue will be presenting the "Chris Rockway Holiday Special". It starts at 7 PM Pacific and while Rockway could easily do a full show by himself, expect some guest stars.

 On the subject of live shows, Vin Marco of Manifest Men has been away from the front of the camera aside from a few cameos here and there. But he makes an official return on December 29 in a free live show for Manifest Men members at 7 PM Pacific. A full hour with muscle man Vin Marco--who NEVER disappoints. You can bet we'll be there.

                       

  It's not exactly a holiday theme, but the day after Christmas Cocksure Men will be featuring a hot three-way set in a gym (it involves weights, jockstraps, and other gear). Leo Giamani, Jeremy Bilding, and Ryan Buckley star.

 On the studio front, Colt Studios has another great limited Holiday Special. From now until January 1st Colt is offering a three-month membership for only $59.95! Colt states it as clearly as possible--it's over 30% off the standard monthly membership. In addition there's a special limited offer on a 3-day trial (recurring) membership. Try Colt for 3 days and get full membership privileges. If you choose to renew the recurring rate is only $19.95 per month. We don't have to tell you that Colt has made membership super-attractive this past year but it's wise to take advantage of these deals ASAP.

  Falcon is also cranking out the deals this season. The Winter Sale ends on Christmas Day--over 200 of the studio's hottest titles for only $19.95. Plus there are combo deals on memberships to the various sites that Falcon has to offer: Falcon XXX, Falcon Str8 Men & Massive Studio. And don't forget that Falcon XXX members get to see full movies before release on DVD.  Malibu Heat AND Blue Movie are two of the studio's hot releases and we'll be reviewing them in the next few days. Hint: they are real nut-busters.

 Finally on December 23 Dirty Bird Pictures will be releasing Jett Blakk's Endgame. You can pre-order now from Dirty Bird for a discounted price and if you join Active Duty you get free access to Endgame and other Dirty Bird  flicks. Endgame is a two-disc set with the feature film on one disc and loads of extras, including a behind-the-scenes featurette, on disc two. As you've read this is supposedly Chad Hunt's finale in porn and he bottoms on camera for the first time. Endgame was written, directed, and shot by Jett Blakk and features many of his favorite themes. We were very honored to see it in advance and we'll be posting a full review on the day of the video's release. But we were also VERY honored to be quoted in the press release and to have our blurb appear in the DVD cover! Here's our quote:

"Director Jett Blakk has done it again. Endgame is a beautifully shot, well-acted, haunting psycho-sexual road trip flick with some fascinatingly enigmatic and sexy characters. Film lovers and porn lovers will both get something out of this well-scripted effort full of cinema homages and some authentically powerful sex scenes that include some surprising twists. This is one story-driven adult video where you'll never be tempted to use the fast-forward button---you'll want to see this tale of self-discovery play out to its poignant conclusion. Chad Hunt, Trevor Knight, and the entire cast are standouts".....JackManly.com.
