The Whorella Beads were hung by the chimney with care, and that calls for another round of New Years cheer, as vidioview.com proudly presents, in no particular order whatsoever, your selections for 2009’s Most Interesting Person in the Wonderful World of Gay Porn.
From Michael F:
My porn discovery this year is the recent creation of OTB Fan Club and two of the public faces of OTB; Rene and Alex Chaves It is certainly a niche porn market, twink Latino bois who shave off all their pubes and the scenes have the intensity of Treasure Island Media, but w/ really cute guys.
Special mention: my recent re-discovery of Bel Ami, the top of the ladder in twink porn in the early 90’s. George DuRoy has done a great job bringing the guys into the company. Sebastian Bonet’s movie, “No Experience Necessary” is on par with the scenes he did on screen in 92-93.
I watched “Through the Woods” and Pierre Fitch
is another one changing the face of gay porn. He’s getting a degree in video technology and plans to make a career of the business. He may very well have the next big production company
Yes, everything about Pierre is "big," if you catch my drift.
Oh look – It’s the legendary Thor Stephans, kiss kiss. God, I miss him in the biz. Thor offers:
MODEL OF THE YEAR - Leo Giamani.
He is a gorgeous Italian Stallion hunk, dripping with manly sex, a body of lust, a dick that is luscious and just totally a masculine versatile man. He rang my chimes many times and congrats to Mr. Forest for landing that one.
COMPANIES OF THE YEAR - RAGING STALLION and JET SET. Both studios have kept their high level of quality of making "real porno movies", not pieces of short cyber sex shot by anyone.
Hey, how about a new Thor movie? Huh?
Jay, a vidivoiew.com reader, says:
My nomination for the "Most Interesting Person in Porn" would
be Ryan Sullivan. It's very hard to describe exactly what he
does, but his work is incredible …he's also the cutest thing
I've seen in a very long time. Very fresh,
very different, very hot.
His blog is at http://sullivanstim.blogspot.com/
Agree with you this one, Jay. I had some correspondence with Ryan (unfortunately, no pics). He tells me he is working on an on-going documentary about Treasure Island Media for over a year now. I'll try to keep you updated.
Vidivoiew.com reader Ben “from the hills of Western Massachusetts,” writes:
“I think Marco Paris
deserves a wreath of laurels for being really handsome, really hug with a beautiful cock and a terrific performer both as a top and an enthusiastic bottom…he is amazing. And hot. And worthy of multitudes of awards.
Feel free to give him my phone number, Ben. And a really big hug.
Richie B. says:
My vote for the persons of the would definitely be all those (Lucas) Israeli men who bring new meaning to “Kosher delight!”
L’Chaim, Richie!
Our friend and blog-colleague Vincent Lambert says there wasn’t just one most-fascinating person in gay porn this year.
There were two!! Twins! Ever since Jon King's 1981 classic “Brothers Should Do It,” there has been a particular taboo about siblings having sex together. After all, it's otherwise known as incest, or in this case twincest! This year, we saw: Frat Men’s Joshua and Jesse and Dustin and Darren (who did a fourway jack!); Fernando and Fabrizio Mangiatti, who worked for Lucas Entertainment, among others; Next Door Male’s Dave and Matt Studding; and Straight Fraternity’s TJ and Joner (deaf twins—talk about niche marketing!). And we’re not even counting bros (but not twins) Bobby and Seth Clark; gay porn bandits Keyon and Taleon Goffney (who are in jail); or the Visconti Triplets (who are rumored to actually be one set of twins and an older look-alike brother).
Now some of the twins, like Sean Cody's adorable Jeff and John, merely jacked next to each other, while others, such as Adam and Conrad Richter in Channel 1 Releasing’s Double Czech 2009, went all the way. And then there was Bel Ami’s controversial Peters twins. Milo and Elijah Peters not only sucked and fucked each other, they did it bareback and took each other's loads orally. Talk about busting barriers! Viewers run very hot and cold on this subject. Some find it hot; others find it icky. But, no matter your tastes, in 2009, twins certainly had gay porn fans seeing double!”
What??? Not really triplets?? I'm devastated! For more of Vince’s daily take on the gay porn industry, visit VincentLambert.com.
Another respected colleague is the XXFactor’s Onan the Vulgarian. He tells me:
I hoped that the downturn in the economy would inspire a "correction" (to borrow a term from Wall Street) in the industry, and that the weaker players would fall by the wayside and the stronger players would be inspired to to do better work, but for the most part I did not find that to be the case. When a director of Lucas Kazan's caliber sits on the sidelines and the GayVN Awards, which have always touted themselves as the Oscars of gayporn, can't make up their minds whether to give awards in 2010 or not, it is not good for any of us.
If you’re looking for him, Onan can be found at www.xxfactor.com.
Mark Kleim, who runs the popular Lavender Lounge, says that HE is the most interesting person of the year. Yes, Mark has, in his own words, “…performed every function in the adult industry with the exception of anal (but the year is not over yet, at this writing!) Producer, Director, photographer, videographer, editor, blogger, performer, webmaster, Art Director, GayVN Judge and columnist.” Among the hightlights Mark lists:
Lavender Lounge Studios was named Official Photographer of the GayVN Awards, providing complete coverage of three days of events.
The fact that there may be no GAYVN awards this year has absolutely no connection to the above….he goes on:
Lavender Lounge Studios also shot photos at International Mr. Leather, Grabby Awards, Folsom Fair, Up Your Alley, Pink Saturday and San Francisco Pride.
-Released a compilation DVD of "lost" 8mm films of the 1970's, "Vintage Bareback: Hairy Muscle Daddy Collection" available through GayDVD.com
And my personal favorite of Mark’s…
(I) appeared as an extra in Raging Stallion's "The Visitor" standing behind Logan McCree, Bruno Bond and Cole Streets. Though he was only an extra, he got caught up in the moment and shot a load at the same time as Logan McCree.
According to director Tony Dimarco Mark's ejaculation was "more powerful than Logan McCree's" so they had to cut away to the other camera in editing because it was "too distracting". Mark was 53 years old at the time.
I can’t top that.
Speaking of self-promotion, David Forest returned to the industry full-time this year, and offers these candidates. The fact that he is their manager has no bearing whatsoever on his choices. Uh huh:
Brent Corrigan – he’s survived some pretty tough odds and may just be the hottest YOUNG XXX STAR ever in the biz. Already hotter than Billy Brandt or Christian Fox.
Mark Dalton – America’s muscle bad boy …. more famous every day. His scene in the Jet Set “Levi” movie will TOP every other solo he’s done. There is no other erotic performer that even comes close to Mark on stage.
Johnny Castle
– from bedrooms of multi million dollars estates and suites on luxury liners and 5 star hotels of the gay rich and famous to sets of the biggest str8 XXX productions to amateur basketball courts and gambling websites to the biggest gay dance clubs …. Johnny is one of the most successful performers AND businessmen to ever work in the adult world.
Zeb Atlas – appropriately known as “The King” of the Premiere Artists and looking as hot and perfectly muscled as he did years ago …He just returned from a South Sea Island where he was photographed for an early 2010 issue of “Unzipped.”
And, he wouldn’t be David Forest if he didn’t include…well, I think you know…
The Ringmaster – DAVID FOREST … (his) latest drama … terminating the agreement he made to sell his company to FabScout and Vinyard Ent (Dean Newton/Kyle Majors) … then, being told that the non-compete clause in the deal is not legal and NOT enforceable … takes the cake. He’s off and running with his book, “Play for Pay” and his newest talent company, The Premiere Artists.
Could I make this up.
Lastly, my all-time favorite contribution of this nonsense comes from Pat Reshen, spokesperson for Pitbull Productions and a very wise woman:
You keep all of us up-to-date on the latest HOT news, you send us photos of the hottest hunks, and I for one always get at least one giggle if not an outright laugh from your humorous take on the wonderful world of gay porn!
So my vote is for YOU!
A VERY wise woman.
My thanks to you all for your support this year, and my warmest wishes to you all for a great 2010. You'll find updates and any new items of interest on the front page. I'm still doing the Twitter thing occasionally, I'm here for you at vidioview@gmail.com, and I shall leave you at this point Elizabeth.
