HOW DO I BECOME A GAY PORN STAR?
June 8th, 2013 
Mike There are two questions that people send to me time and time again. First, can you identify the person in this tiny thumbnail? (Answer: yes, sadly.) Second, how do I get into the gay porn industry? It seems fairly straight-forward to me, but for those of you who haven’t worked in the industry for the [...]
NAKEDSWORD PRESENTS: THE GRABBYS 2013 VIDEO SPECIAL!
June 5th, 2013 Mike What’s better than going to the Grabby Awards? Staying home then watching the video of the red carpet — trust me. Not only is the hangover a bitch, but it takes forever to complete the sexual assault paperwork against mr. Pam. (There’s quite a line.) NakedSword’s annual red carpet video features a beefed-up and auburn [...]
First Look: The Boy Who Cried DILF
February 26th, 2013 Shamama After years of hearing about MILFs, I’m glad that gay porn has been embracing the DILF: It’s a trend I can get behind (or in front of, depending on who we’re talking about). Anyway, Chi Chi LaRue was nice enough to send over these pics of horsecocked Angel Rock, Trenton Ducati and Damian Taylor from [...]
GUESS WHO SCORED AT THE CYBERSOCKET AWARDS?
January 10th, 2013 Mike I was kept from the Cybersocket Awards in West Hollywood last night by an acute case of work guilt and beer. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t following in my dreams. Suprise retirements! Visiting foreign bodies! Blurry twitter pics! And most importantly, the winners, after the jump …
Chris Crocker’s Gay Porn Debut Is Finally Here

FREE 10 MINUTE PREVIEW: STREET TRADE
July 5th, 2012 Mike Chi Chi’s just released “Street Trade” — featuring actual trade like Sebastian Young fucking maybe trade like Jimmy Fanz. But like real trade, they’re not demanding cash up front. Chi Chi is giving away a ten minute hardcore preview of the movie. Can you resist a free taste?
PISS N’ BOOTS: DEAN MONROE AND CHI CHI TAKE FT. LAUDERDALE
April 25th, 2012 Mike When we heard that Chi Chi LaRue and Dean Monroe were headed to Ft. Lauderdale over with Jimmy Fanz and Sebastian Young to shoot a watersports movie (no jet skis required), we tried to stowaway in the Speedo trunk. They found us hidden among the salt pills, but agreed to keep a set diary to [...]
JIMMY FANZ: THE GAY PORN BLOG INTERVIEW
April 23rd, 2012 Mike Only a few weeks ago, I professed my love for Jimmy Fanz. A few days later, he got confused for Jake Shears. Today, the Cutest Big-Dicked Bottom in gay porn [Hairy Edition] announced he had been signed to an exclusive contract with Falcon-Raging Stallion. Coincidence? Probably. Regardless, we grabbed Fanz (“it’s pronounced FAHNZ, like The [...]
WHICH GAY DADDY JUST FUCKED THE ROSSO TWINS?
March 18th, 2012 Mike The Rosso Twins, twin brothers Luca and Liam, are trying to get in shape. Unfortunately, they’ve stumbled upon one of porn’s most brutal daddies. But which tattooed gay porn star is going to work over those twin assholes?
GAY PORN’S ROSSO TWINS EVEN TWINNIER AFTER NEW HAIRCUT, MOVIE
November 29th, 2011 Mike Someone got their hairs cut! (But which one?) Handsomer than gay porn’s Bartok brothers, less double-minty than the Richter Brothers, gayer than the Studdings, fewer than the Visconti Triplets and and ultimately less bareback and creepy than Milo and Elijah Peters, the Bel Ami Twins, it’s Chi Chi LaRue’s Rosso Twins cut their hair just [...]

July 25th, 2011 Mike It’s official.

2010 GayVN Awards: The Pictures
September 27th, 2010 Shamama Of the nine GayVN Awards I’ve been to, I’d classify this year’s ceremony as the lowest-drama. They sailed by at a relatively fast clip, no one stormed on stage, and no one was hit by ice. While here’s the complete list of winners; what follows is the best moments of the evening. European pop music [...]

Straight Porn Goes Gay with ‘Glee XXX’
May 20th, 2010 Mike Normally, we don’t bother with straight porn because a) everybody flips out in the comments and b) it has women in it. But sometimes something is so damned well, gay, that it doesn’t seem to matter that there’s a vagina in there. Case in point: This Ain’t Glee XXX from Hustler Video. Is it an [...]
Meet The Meat: Element Eclipse
December 12th, 2009 Shamama I first saw Element Eclipse when he was competing in a big dick contest at Truck after the Dore Alley Street Fair. It wasn’t much of a contest because as soon as Element climbed up on stage and pulled his cock out, he was immediately declared the winner. His dick is that big. Later that [...]
Sneak Peek: C1R’s “Playing with Fire: 4 Alarm”
November 3rd, 2009 Shamama For those of you who maybe thought Chi Chi LaRue gave up directing porn for DJing, here’s some exclusive photos of the highly anticipated firetruck orgy scene from C1R’s Playing With Fire, featuring drool-worthy muscle stud exclusive Mitchell Rock and always-swoon-worthy Johnny Hazzard along with Matthew Rush, who’s sporting a Mark Salling-style mohawk and newcomers [...]

Gay Porn Milestones: Arpad Miklos Goes Straight-For-Pay
August 6th, 2009 Shamama Today Jake Cruise, a move that will no doubt stir up the hornet’s nest of straight-for-pay controversy, is releasing a scene of Aprad Miklos fucking a woman on SG4GE.com. While SG4GE stands for for “Straight Guys For Gay Eyes”, Arpad is still absolutely, 100% openly gay. (Also of note: this scene was not directed by [...]
The Curious Dance Between Gay “Mainstream” Culture and Porn
June 3rd, 2009 Shamama (Image of Francois Sagat and Tony Ward courtesy YVYMag) One thing that’s fascinated me about gay porn since I started writing about it is the way the industry is simultaneously marginalized and embraced by popular culture at large. We’ve seen fashion designers, artists, indie filmmakers and the like “risk their careers” by courting sex stars [...]
Blake Riley’s Reunited With His Long-Lost Brother?
May 21st, 2009 Shamama Or maybe Chi Chi just ran out of names. But either way, new C1R Exclusive Drake Riley is absurdly cute: Another pic after the jump …
