DAVID FOREST: “THE PORN INDUSTRY HAS BEEN DECIMATED”
April 16th, 2013 
Mike Everyone’s favorite Male Madam is back! David Forest did an amazing interview with Village Voice’s Michael Musto today, talking about the glory days of the gay porn business. The real reason you see the same stars on all the same sites, Forest says? There’s not any money for them. Forest — who once told me that [...]
ARE MOST GAY PORN VIEWERS BOTTOMS?
April 3rd, 2013 Mike I was going through interview footage for the documentary on Falcon Studio’s Chuck Holmes, and came across an odd claim from porn star Tom Chase. “Most porn consumers are bottoms,” he said Chuck told him, “so we focus on the tops.” It echoes what another producer once told me — that consumer base of bottoms [...]
JEFF STRYKER: I ALMOST DIDN’T MAKE IT IN GAY PORN!
March 25th, 2013 Mike Of all the interviews we shot for our documentary on Falcon Studios’ Chuck Holmes, none was more surprising than our interview with Jeff Stryker. Arguably the biggest star in the history of gay porn, Stryker was originally rejected by Holmes who didn’t see the potential in the then-mulleted newcomer. We caught up with Stryker, poolside [...]
DOMINIC FORD GOES ‘ADULT’ WITH GAY PORN IPAD
May 7th, 2012 Mike We read it for the articles, honest. Dominic Ford — the man who pioneered 3D gay porn — is on the cutting edge again. Ford has just launched the third issue of his new iPad-based magazine, Adult. (He also did a feature on our documentary about Falcon Studios’ founder Chuck Holmes. It’s coming! It’s coming!) [...]
PORN MANAGER DAVID FOREST: “I’M BACK!”
March 29th, 2012 Mike We’ve now shot nearly twenty five interviews for our documentary on Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes, but few have been as unexpectedly informative as yesterday’s with long-time porn star manager/agent David Forest.
FIVE GAY PORN SCENES FROM LAST YEAR I’M STILL WATCHING
January 11th, 2012 Mike I masturbated to a lot of porn last year. Here are the gay scenes to which I still am.

December 20th, 2011 Shamama Yesterday afternoon something truly remarkable happened: In what I’m pretty sure is a first of some kind for the gay porn industry, and probably for gay history as well , Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story was funded via Kickstarter. We (incredibly) surpassed our goal by $3K. Thank you to everyone who donated, asked their [...]

December 17th, 2011 Mike Thanks to you and hundreds of other perverts, we’ve raised nearly 22K toward making our documentary on Falcon Studios founder (and gay rights philanthropist) Chuck Holmes. But we’ve got just 48 hours to go. And if we don’t raise the remaining $3,000 dollars, we lose it all. So if you’re able, please help us pay [...]

Happy Skanksgiving: Gay Porn Blog Style
November 24th, 2011 Mike A few years ago, we got a Thanksgiving card from the house of one Mr. Pam, who was hosting dinner with Sister Roma and a bunch of porn stars. This morning, I thought I’d resurrect the glory. Anyone remember (recognize) the cock? All salmonella aside, here are a few things that I’m thankful for so [...]
Francois Sagat Returns to Titan in New Gay Porn Documentary
November 13th, 2011 Mike Five years in, I still can’t get enough of Francois Sagat. Francois’s now the subject of two documentaries, three if you count the psychotic Mahogany-style collage of clips of him on my laptop. Clips from both after the jump …
Falcon Gay Porn Doc: New Seed Money Trailer
November 12th, 2011 Mike New trailer went up today for Seed Money, the documentary on Falcon’s Chuck Holmes. We’ve been at it for three years, but it’s reached the point where we can only finish it with your help. So if you like it — and want to keep it independent — spread the word or support the project. [...]
Fraternity X: Parasexual Activity 3
November 9th, 2011 Mike Shaky cameras! Awkward pauses! Uncertain realities! It’s Fraternity X, the mysterious Arizona State Frat that claims that it’s paying it’s bills through gay sex videos. I still don’t swallow it, but I’ll sure as hell watch it. Largely because every good sexual encounter I’ve had features spilled beer.
Gay Porn New Meat: Sean Cody’s “Jed”
November 8th, 2011 Mike This one’s headed straight for the hills of Beverly. and speaking of hills (and oil, for that matter) …
Gay Porn Mailbag: Pee Pee in Coke Edition
November 8th, 2011 Mike This came in the mail today. I mean, given airfare these days and the fact that I’m trying to finance a documentary, I probably wouldn’t have been able to go anyway. BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE BEEN INVITED. It’s time for a party!! With water sports and young guys! Get ready for the [...]
Help Us Make “Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story”
November 4th, 2011 Mike For over two years, Jack, Ben Leon and I have been working on a documentary about the late pornographer-turned-philanthropist Chuck Holmes, who built Falcon Studios and, later, helped found the Human Rights Campaign. To finish it, we need your help.

August 25th, 2011 Mike If you’re going to be in San Francisco for the Folsom Street Fair, come a few days early and meet us at Indie Erotic Film Festival on September 20th! Jack and I both talking on a porn panel along with new Falcon president Chris Ward, photographer Kent Taylor, porn journalist John Karr and Treasure Island’s [...]
Porn God Matthew Rush Is Back on Top!
July 11th, 2011 Mike It seems incredible, but one-time young guy Matthew Rush is nigh on forty these days, and looking every bit the daddy. We shot an interview with him last year for the Chuck Holmes/Falcon studios documentary, and he was charming, voluble and sexy. We’re glad to see that those his Falcon days are behind him, he’s not [...]
Another Side of Aspen: Sneak Peak at Falcon Documentary
April 15th, 2011 Shamama When Chris Ward announced that he was relaunching the Aspen gay porn series, he asked if we’d consider pulling together a short piece from our upcoming documentary about Falcon founder Chuck Holmes to commemorate it. “Aspen” was a seminal piece for Falcon — the movie which not only changed the company’s fortunes, but also helped [...]
Falcon Sold! Raging Stallion to Take Over Production For Legendary Studio
December 19th, 2010 Mike Falcon Studios — the historic home of gay porn classics like Spokes and Other Side of Aspen, and home to stars from Dick Fisk (above) and Al Parker to Matthew Rush and Landon Conrad – has finally, after years of speculation, been sold. The legendary gay porn studio founded by Chuck Holmes in 1971 has [...]
Gay Smut Capital: When Porn Went Hardcore
October 27th, 2010 Mike With less than a week left to raise the funds to finance our ‘Smut Capital’ documentary, I thought I’d release a longer clip. I hate to sound like NPR during funding drive, but once we finish this, we’ll be able to move on to posting even juicier stuff — interviews with Jim Bentley, Kevin Williams, [...]
Tom Chase: Gay Porn Made a Man of Me!
October 7th, 2010 Mike I shot an interview with Tom Chase yesterday, who was in town visiting his sister. He’s now a personal trainer in Dallas, but was eager to talk to us for our documentary on Falcon’s Chuck Holmes. We talked about his history with Holmes, but even more about how the porn he watched growing up — [...]
‘Smut Capital’: Gay Porn and Gay Liberation
October 4th, 2010 Mike For the past year or so, Jack and I, along with Ben Leon (previously of Raging Stallion) have been working on a documentary about Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes.
