INDUSTRY UPDATE: Kristen Bjorn's EL RANCHO and Condomless Sex
[Edited slightly for clarity, 5:30pm] A storm whipped up this past week as word began to spread that director Kristen Bjorn and Sarava Productions’ latest sex-soaked epic, EL RANCHO, contains a condomless sex scene (between real-life boyfriends Pedro Andreas and Daniel Marvin) in the mail-order version available only via KristenBjorn.com.We’ve seen Messrs. Andreas and Marvin before: They are the gorgeous, body-beautiful pair whose passionate coupling is a highlight of COLLIN O’NEAL’S WORLD OF MEN: SAO PAOLO (CollinONeal.com and Raging Stallion Studios) and one of the best duo scenes of 2007. Their threesome with Andre Santos in COLLIN O’NEAL’S WORLD OF MEN: MIAMI is equally scorching. Their first condomless scenes for CollinONeal.com has been repackaged as the 35-minute PEDRO AND DANIEL: PRIVATE SESSIONS.
Industry watchers have been waiting for this to happen: It began several years ago when various companies (Big Blue Productions and Raging Stallion, among others) began actively promoting oral cumshots in their films. This was a distinct move away from scrupulously safe humping in the Big Eight studio flicks.
The Big Eight are Bel Ami, Channel 1 Releasing, COLT Studio, Falcon Studios, Hot House Video, Raging Stallion Studios, Sarava Productions and Titan Media. Smaller companies like Big Blue Productions, Centaur Films, Dark Alley Media, Jet Set Productions, Lucas Entertainment (arguable...more on that later), Miami Studios, Red Devil Entertainment and Studio 2000 are considered boutique studios.
I called around and virtually no one was willing to speak on the record about this. But off the record? Certain powerful industryites are friggin’ furious. But if you think a Bjorn-branded condomless scene means the horse is now out of the barn, you haven’t been paying attention. More on that soon.
I queried both Kristen Bjorn (via email), and his longtime aide-de-camp, Barry “The Bear” Gollop (via email and telephonic device), about the burgeoning EL RANCHO controversy. Mr. Gollop told me that he is no longer involved on the creative side of Sarava and instead works primarily in promotions and marketing, with a heavy emphasis on combating illegal downloads of Sarava material. “I didn’t know about this scene until after the fact,” he told me. However, “I have no doubt in my mind that greed, money or [publicity] had nothing to do with this.” After two decades of professional partnership, Mr. Gollop asserts, he knows Kristen Bjorn well enough to state that “he has never been someone who was interested in making as much money as he possibly could, cutting corners to save a few bucks, or doing a publicity stunt to get the attention of the industry. How many times has he even come to an award show?” (I can answer that: Not many.)
Mr. Bjorn has been somewhat reluctant to speak publicly about anything over the years. This controversy certainly hasn’t changed his position in that regard. His statement is the same that he has given other outlets: “Before things get out of hand, let me explain,” he says. “Yes, in the mail-order version there is a condomless scene between a real-life couple in a long-term relationship of the same HIV status. There is a warning at the beginning of the film advising people of this special situation. Since most people in this type of relationship have condomless sex, I don’t feel that it is incorrect to allow it in the video. I trust that viewers are intelligent enough to understand the difference between this and a ‘bareback’ film. Sarava Productions doesn’t promote or condone unsafe sex practices.” He also acknowledges the complaints from industry peers like Titan Media. “While I respect Titan’s politics, we may not see eye-to-eye on this point.”Yeah, no kidding! They definitely do not see eye-to-eye. You’ll have to trust The Bear, and trust me, that Kristen Bjorn is not someone prone to publicity stunts or money-grubbing. I called around and spoke to several studio heads. “We don’t want to go bareback,” one of ‘em told me. “But if that’s where the audience is going, that’s where we’ll go.” We’ll revisit this issue next week, but what are your thoughts on this, people? Does this mean condoms-only gay porn is headed for the scrap heap alongside VHS tapes?

The Grapevine
New York Daily News gossipmeister Ben Widdicombe's "Gatecrasher" column today has a tiny, but nevertheless juicy, blind item titled "Don't Shoot the Messenger" which cryptically asks: "Which adult video star is bragging he has pix of a certain hip-hop big [sic] asleep in bed after a tryst?" Given the column is New York-centric, think along those lines, rather than a West Coaster.(And lemme tell you, we could fill a month's worth of columns just talking about the many, many closeted R&B and rap celebs who secretly cat around with gay porn stars and/or male escorts.)

UPDATE: August 23 ONLY! Francois Sagat's "Porno Palace"
UPDATE: Aug. 23 ONLY! Francois Sagat's "Porno Palace"So, yeah, now that burned-out Micky's is closed for the duration, their weekly "Cocktails with the Stars meet-and-greet is on indefinite hold. Gallic sex bomb and reigning GAYVN Performer of the year, Francois Sagat was scheduled to hold forth tonight, as a matter of fact. Never fear!
Jason Sechrest of JasonCurious.com is premiering his own weekly meet-and-greet tonight at MJ's Bar out in Silverlake and Mr. Sagat will appear there instead, joining already-scheduled studpup Jayden Holloway. So Mr. Sagat's legions of fans can scoot out to Silverlake between 10pm and 1am tonight to catch him live in the delectable flesh.
(Side note: Mr. Sechrest is an ex-host of "Cocktails with the Stars" and there was some drama after he left the gig. When I rang him up the other day as Micky's was burning -- I was watching it live from Chi Chi LaRue's balcony -- he picked up the phone and immediately blurted, "I didn't do it!")

NEW RELEASE DESK
NEW RELEASE DESK: Hot New Autumn Blue MoviesIt’s a nonstop sex party this week in "The Adams Report by JC Adams"! Woo-hoo! Let’s get it on, hot stu...eh, who am I kidding? It's dead in GayPornLand this time of year. There was some heat around the Gay Erotic Expo a couple weeks back thanks to Jason Ridge (read last week's column for more on that) and Zeb Atlas Productions is casting about for new talent for an upcoming hardcore feature. And...yeah, that's about it, really. So let's take a look at some new and upcoming A-ticket fuck flicks.
Various studios are prepping for the release of their big autumn titles: All Worlds Video and Channel 1 Releasing have LINK: THE EVOLUTION on tap; Lucas Entertainment has THE INTERN; Raging Stallion Studios just wrapped GRUNTS; COLT Studio and Buckshot Productions have the new Jerry Douglas, titled THE BROTHERHOOD on the menu; and Hot House Video is promoting TRUNKS 4: WHITE HEAT.
Meanwhile, Sarava Productions and director Kristen Bjorn are enjoying renewed buzz with the release of ROCKS & HARD PLACES (with EL RANCHO about to hit the streets) and Oh Man! International has the latest from the ever quixotic Jean-Marc Prouveur, titled BEAST (billed as a "grown-up fairy tale" with no Fred Faurtin in the cast, dammit, but plenty of the gorgeous Aiden Bonini).
Writer/director Jett Blakk co-directed DANTE with performer Ty Hudson and his newly formed Tyger's Eye Films. Mr. Blakk is the only gay porn director, apart from perhaps Lucas Kazan, who would produce a fuck flick prominently billed as "based on Dante Alighieri's Inferno." He and Mr. Kazan are also the only ones who could pull it off.Jet Set Productions has been very busy lately. Their latest is JET SET FRATERNITY GANGBANG 2 with several "It" hotbois in the cast, among them Jesse Santana and Sebastian Young. Andrew Rosen directs and edits.
1 Distribution is keeping busy as summer winds to a close with the latest in their popular NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDIES series (from Next Door Male) of solo/oral-only flicks featuring "amateur straight guys" (aren't they all?) NEIGHBORHOOD BUDDIES VOL. 6 is two hours of crazy-hot "straight" guys, smooth and athletically built, working themselves to climax. Another new import is TENNIS LADS from Euroboy Sport and featuring extra-hung Harold Zen on the cover flaunting that down-to-his-kneecaps cock as well as a racket slung over one shoulder and a rather jaunty sweatband. It's like a still from a '70s Brentwood Studios loop.
AMG Brasil is putting the finishing touches on AMAZONIA, their largest production yet (the cast includes an imported American star), while Studio 2000 this week shoots GREASE GUNS III with some bloke named JC Adams at the helm.Official sites:

2008 AGVD: Vote for Your Favorites!
DEPT. OF SELF PROMOTION: 2008 Adam Gay Video DirectoryIt's that time of year once again, Constant Readers. We're coming into the home stretch. In about six weeks, give or take, we'll be locking the 2008 Adam Gay Video Directory. (Featured here is the 2007 edition featuring the wondrous Francois Sagat.)
For you civilians reading this column, the 2008 AGVD will be available at your friendly neighborhood porn emporium, and of course AdamGayVideo.com, in early December. For you industryites, you've got until September 15-ish to reserve ad space and to submit films for potential inclusion into this year's edition of the gay porn bible. Get in touch with me via the email address below for specifics.
Now that we've taken care of business, here's a hush-hush secret I'm letting out of the bag: Every year, dozens of porn performers make a full-court press for inclusion in the AGVD. Unfortunately, there just isn't room to include everyone and years ago, long before I came along, the publishers had to institute certain criteria that covered who got in and who did not. Inevitably the selection ruffles some feathers, which is a shame but it can't be avoided. And so, when I took over two years ago, I instituted a little rule: The first ten performers to ask that they be included got in, period, even if they appeared in only one obscure film that year. As long as they could provide a professional, print-quality nude snap, they got in.
Those ten slots were filled months ago for this year's AGVD. But as we've tweaked this year's layout, it turns out I've got a couple extra pages I can devote to more porn star profiles. That's about 12 extra profiles. I've filled half of those slots with guys who got squeezed out for various reasons, but the other half I decided to leave open to suggestion. So go ahead, guys: Fire away with your suggestions! I'm opening the floor to anyone. And make 'em good choices, okay? It's no shocker that Roman Heart or Chad Hunt or Collin O'Neal will be included; they're our top performers right now, so don't waste your wish on them. What I'm looking for are guys that aren't as famous as you think they ought to be, for whatever reason, and deserve the PR boost that inclusion in the Directory would provide. My crack staff of reviewers watches almost everything, but naturally there are guys that will fall through the cracks. That's where you come in, Constant Reader. And wait for this year's edition to see which performers got the most votes...their profile will be indicated with some kind of "fan favorite" bullet. So get cracking, boys!

INDUSTRY UPDATE: Miami Orders CocoDorm to Close
Miami has ordered CocoDorm.com to shut its doors. The Miami Herald reports this week that following 10 hours of arguments on August 13, Miami's Code Enforcement Board has ruled that CocoDorm and Flava Works owner Phillip Bleicher is "illegally running an adult entertainment business out of a single-family home," noting that the residence is zoned only for residential use, "and ordered that those operations cease."
The article begins, "(t)he residents of Northeast 27th Street in Edgewater may not have neighbors like Pretty Ricky, Jerzey Flyrt and Nick Da Kannon much longer." A charge that Flava Works was operating "an illegal rooming house" was dismissed.
Defense cited an 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in favor of VoyeurDorm.com (described as "a female version of CocoDorm") in Tampa, Florida that found the site "not guilty of similar violations" and, further, that "business transactions don't happen" at the CocoDorm residence.
The Code Enforcement Board didn't buy it, citing differences between Miami's and Tampa's laws covering adult businesses, and noting one example of CocoDorm performer Breion, who was seen using a security code on a keypad to gain admittance.
The city gave CocoDorm two weeks to vacate. An unsigned note on the CocoDorm splash page claims they have filed "an emergency petition in federal court to block the city's ruling...and sue the city of Miami."
"Miami is wasting tax dollars to prosecute the legal CocoDorm residence, while drug dealers and prostitutes reign free on the streets of this neighborhood," reads the declaration. "...What happens inside of CocoDorm is no different than what happens behind the closed door of any other house; people live, interact and have sex. This is our and your First Amendment right, and we will fight for these rights...We will not close the CocoDorm!"This is not the first time CocoDorm has run into trouble. In May 2006, we wrote in this space, "A cease-and-desist order was delivered on April 20th by the Chicago Department of Public Health to the private residence where various models for CocoDorm.com were filmed for broadcast on the internet." Per a Chicago Free Press article, "concerns were raised about cases of HIV and other STDs tied to the site's models" following "credible evidence [that the models] were engaging in unsafe sex practices and were spreading HIV, syphilis and gonorrhea through contact with individuals outside the business."
These charges were strongly refuted by CocoDorm. "There's no one HIV-positive in our dorm, so that's untrue. The models also engage in safe sexual practices," they contended, noting they believed the city shut down the website because they did not have the proper business licenses.

In an email titled "FBI Investigation Initiated" Mr. Flamingo warns that Junior Releasing has obtained "unauthorized copies of our copyrighted and trademarked materials. Often...these DVDs won't even play once you receive them." He notes that an FBI investigation is underway, and that fellow boutique studios Cobra Video, JNRG America (normally an importer of French gay adult titles) and Raw Entry Club have also had pirated copies of their films falsely distributed by Junior Releasing.
* COLT Studio honcho John Rutherford cohosts "The Derek & Romaine Show" this coming Friday, August 17, 6 - 10pm, EST. That's on Sirius OutQ satellite radio, channel 109. Falcon Exclusive Erik Rhodes cohosted all last week, subbing for regular host Romaine Patterson, who is on maternity leave.

THE GRAPEVINE
THE GRAPEVINE: "Gay Porn Crime Wave," Shane's World Goes Gay, Jason Ridge ApologizesPeople are talking about… The “gay porn crime wave” that has ensnared the aforementioned Cody Cash with Marcus Allen, Harlow Cuadra, Mark Dalton and Tommy Saxx. Although in the case of Mark Dalton, charges may be dropped…
People are talking about… MARK MEETS ZEB: THE TEXAS TWO-STEP turning into a top-seller for Zeb Atlas Productions and Marina Pacific even though Mr. Dalton was jailed prior to its initial release, thus curtailing an extensive promotional campaign, and the two gorgeous muscle studs don’t have sex with anyone except themselves…
People are talking about… Hetero company Shane’s World “going gay” with their popular COLLEGE INVASION series. It’s another example of how VOD and amateur sites are now setting the pace in the business of gay porn. COLLEGE INVASION MALE again features a mix of rowdy amateur performers (“No college students were harmed during the making of our videos!”) hooking up with seasoned performers, among them Caleb Carter, Trevor Knight and Christian Owen. Shane’s World says they were inspired to go this route due to the popularity of the hetero series among young(ish) gays…
People are (still) talking about… Performer and new studio head Jason Ridge’s incendiary interview several weeks back on “The Jason Sechrest Show” at KSEX.com. The matinee idol-handsome Mr. Ridge is featured in several hot films right now, among them COMMUNION for Hot House, THE INTERN for Lucas Entertainment and MY VIRTUAL JR. DADDY: JASON RIDGE for Virtual Male/U.S. Male. He recently shot the first production under his newly formed Ridgeline Films banner.But it’s that interview – during which he slagged several high-profile industryites – that has a good one-third of the buzz ruffled. Further, he has some shaking their heads over his continued advocacy for jailed performer (and accused murderer) Harlow Cuadra. However, on his blog Jason Ridge apologizes to one of those people he dissed: performer Trevor Knight. He’s online at JasonRidge.blogspot.com.
For the interview, he notes that he “brought along a 1997 Pinot Noir to help…not knowing that I would eventually end up hurting people who I actually cared for. I don’t have regrets of that evening but some of my frustrations should have been directed [personally].” He then apologizes publicly to Mr. Knight, noting that his “disappointment in me was enough for me to take a step back and realize that I actually hurt a few people in the process of trying to get my anger, concerns and frustrations out.”
Mr. Ridge notes that he still has concerns about some industry vets and what he perceives as business as usual in GayPornLand. “I’m finding out more and more that people don’t speak out against exploitation, being degraded, not earning good pay or having to sleep with a director before they can cast you in a movie,” he writes. “Nobody wants to rock the boat, but it seems that I already have. I won’t stay [quiet] and any bridges that I burn will only be rebuilt bigger and stronger… In order to be a success you have to stand out from the crowd.”

FIRST LOOK: AMG Brasil
AMG Brasil and director Dennis Bell have turned in a sizzling series of pics filmed, natch, in Brazil and environs. The SURUBA (Portuguese for "orgy" or "excessiveness") is especially boner-inducing. That's the lickable Junior Ronaldo on the DVD of SURUBA: PIROCA, one of the stars to emerge from the thriving South American porn scene ("piroca" being Portuguese for "penis"). The handsome, babyfaced Mr. Ronaldo appears in the first and final (of four) scenes in the film, joining cast members Jonny Saullo Kayo Brandão, Kelvin Kapeletti, Aquiles Machado, Regis Rodrigues, Thiago Rocha and Jonny Saullo.
As well, Junior Ronaldo costars in AMG Brasil's PECADO ("original sin") and GÊMEOS which features the real-life twins Caio and Carlos Carvalho, a handsome, pouty-lipped pair of surf bums who have teasingly intimated past hookups with each other in real life (but not onscreen). From the studio stable, we're also crushing on cuteboi Lucas Ramiro in GÊMEOS, PARAÍSO and SURUBA: BRONZE; we even put him on the cover of a recent issue of XXX Showcase that proved very popular. And the swarthy Anderson Alves with his imposingly thick tree-trunk of a cock is featured on the cover of DELUGE and in SURUBA: PRIMAL URGE. Check 'em out.

NEW RELEASE DESK: "Beach House Diaries"Studio: Men of Odyssey
Director: Jim Steel
Cast: Tory Mason and Brant Moore (pictured) with Luca Alexander, Brad Benton, Barrett Long, Christian Owen, Romario, Cole Ryan, Jesse Santana, John Wright
The newly resurrected Men of Odyssey is back with BEACH HOUSE DIARIES and vet helmer Jim Steel. "Remember those days at the beach with close friends?" intones the wistful DVD box copy. "Come share memories or fantasies with...BEACH HOUSE DIARIES." Cue slow-motion runs toward each other in the surf... In any case, they've corralled a solid cast that includes fan-favorite Barrett Long with a bushel and a peck of humpy, bubble-butted up-and-comers, among them Luca Alexander, Tory Mason, Cole Ryan and Jesse Santana.
And swag! We've got swag, people. Constant Readers know the chafing Adams Report by JC Adams staffers love swag. Back in Ye Olden Days, Men of Odyssey was known for their humorously inventive press kits. This time around, BEACH HOUSE DIARIES arrives with the requisite screener, press release and disc of art. All of it was tucked inside a blue plastic bucket with a sand scooper, bottle of water, inflatable beach ball, beach towel and a shoulder bag with the BEACH HOUSE DIARIES logo. Pretty handy for that late-summer beach cruise, eh? (Well, maybe not the bucket and shovel. That might draw some unwanted attention.)

Cody Cash Out of Jail, Back to WorkPer his agent, David Forest, performer Cody Cash will be paroled from prison (charges related to drug possession) September 2 and plans to launch back into the gay adult biz. He'll be a guest on "The Jason Sechrest Show" at KSEX.com on September 7, and at "Cocktails with the Stars" at Micky's in West Hollywood on September 27. As yet Mr. Cash hasn't lined up any new XXX gigs but these personal appearances are planned, in part, to reintroduce the pup to producers and to the public.

INDUSTRY UPDATE: Ryan Idol Makes Broadway Debut
INDUSTRY UPDATE: Ryan Idol on BroadwayNew York -- Erotica legend Ryan Idol has joined the cast of the Roundabaout Theatre Company's limited-engagement revival of the Terrence McNally play The Ritz. Mr. Idol will be making his Broadway debut. Previews begin September 14 at Studio 54 in advance of an October 11 opening night (it is scheduled to run through December 2).
In related news, The Adams Report by JC Adams recently confirmed that Mr. Idol's solo show had been delayed several months. His stage experience includes an Off-Broadway run in Ronnie Larsen's Making Porn and a tour of Mark Dunn's Scent of Rain.
Playbill.com quotes press notes that describe The Ritz as "an over-the-top comedy that takes place in a bathhouse in Manhattan. When Gaetano Proclo needs to hide from mobster Carmine Vespucci, he escapes to the Ritz. When Gaetano realizes the Ritz is a gay bathhouse and not a Turkish bath, he pretends to be a big-time Broadway producer to keep suspicions low. When Carmine locates Gaetano what transpires is wild, manic mayhem."
Ryan Idol isn't the first gay adult superstar to join The Ritz. A 1983 revival of the show included Casey Donovan of BOYS IN THE SAND fame. (Notes a 1983 review in The New York Times, "(a) few of the actors keep the comedy from flagging, including ...

Erik Rhodes & Derek & Romaine

INDUSTRY UPDATE: Erik Rhodes Guest-Hosts "Derek & Romaine"Hey, Constant Readers...be sure to tune in this week to "The Derek & Romaine Show" on Sirius OutQ satellite radio, channel 109. Cohost Romaine Patterson is out on maternity leave (congrats, girl!) and they tapped Falcon Studios Exclusive Erik Rhodes to guest-host alongside Derek Hartley all this week. When I tuned in, Mr. Rhodes was educating Mr. Hartley about his new fave show, Rock of Love on VH1, while Mr. Hartley filled in Mr. Rhodes on the guilty pleasure of Dateline: To Catch a Predator. But wall-of-muscle Erik Rhodes spilled plenty of sexy scoop, too. Tune in (live) until Friday from 6-10pm EST.

NEW RELEASE DESK: Jet Set Productions
NEW RELEASE DESK: Jet Set Fraternity Gang Bang 2Studio: Jet Set Productions
Director: Andrew Rosen
Cast: Jesse Santana and Sebastian Young with Jason Crew, Johnny Donovan, Brant Moore, Damon Phoenix, Sebastian Rivers, Tyler Saint, Scott Wild.
This one is a bit of a sneak preview courtest of helmer Andrew Rosen. I was interviewing costar Tyler Saint and was given the advance scoop. Any flick featuring raven-haired, tattooed hottie Sebastian Young is worth a wank; he's one of the new breed of "It" bois new on the gay porn scene (that's him in the red jock strap on the DVD art). Plus, Jesse Santana and Tyler Saint are having sterling freshmen years of their own. And I'm kind of a sucker for blue-eyed, long-donged Jason Crew, to say nothing of apple-cheeked Damon Phoenix and his world-class ass. No gay sex fantasy, says the press materials, "seems more enduring than the idea of hot sex among a group of fraternity brothers. Even in the straight world, this all-male activity, with its male bonding and secret rituals, is homoerotic." Thus, JET SET FRATERNITY GANG-BANG 2...

NEW RELEASE DESK: Studio 2000
NEW RELEASE DESK: Inside AndyStudio: Studio 2000
Director: Danny Ray
Cast: Andy Frakes and Eliah Keilor with Enrico Dickens, Roger Gharney, Tom Hawai, Tom Koch, Fernando La Vegas, Drago Lembeck, Cary Lexes, Gery Owen, Jay Renfro, Richy Rich, Lucky Taylor.
Director Danny Ray is a rising director on the Euro-scene and he specializes in young(ish) twinkalicious pups (a la Bel Ami). Lovely Andy Frakes, smooth and red-lipped with an irresistible soccer player's physique, is walking through the woods when he cruises blondine Eliah Keilor and falls madly in love. Despite the willing mouths and plush butts, and open throats, of castmates like matinee-idol-handsome Roger Gharney and the dreamy sexbomb Jay Renfro, Mr. Frakes pines for Mr. Keilor until the final scene. When the two pups finally kiss, shower together and retire to the bedroom, their chemistry sizzles. The sight of these cutebois rolling around in the sheets, rubbing each other's bodies, making out passionately, teasing each other out of their clean white undies, is a serious, boner-inducing thrill. Among the other highlights is Jay Renfro's scene-three gang-bang and double-penetration. [Full disclosure: I do production work for Studio 2000, blah, blah.]

NEW RELEASE DESK: 1R Media
NEW RELEASE DESK: SSDD: Same Story, Different DudeStudio: 1R Media & PornTeam.com
Director: Afton Nills
Cast: Nick Angels, Jerrick Dalton, Wes Dynasty, Jesse Jacobs, Blair Mason, Dillon Samuels, Kameron Scott
Check out that DVD title: You gotta love a company that calls a spade a spade, right? SAME STORY, DIFFERENT DUDE is classic twink action. The hotbois featured here are all slender, smooth and hella cute. Messrs. Angels and Samuels hook up in a toilet stall (and Mr. Samuels ends up on his back on the floor...ew). My fave pair of cuties are Wes Dynasty and Blair Mason; the former is "caught" smoking in school and the principal bends the young stud (legally 18, legally 18...relax) over his knee and reddens his tight, taut buns. Don't see spanking too often anymore, do we? Wes Dynasty's sex with tightbod Blair Mason is prime fantasy fodder. (Enjoy it, as young Master Mason has recently split with 1R Media.) Two more fine vignettes fill out the 95-minute running time: Jerrick Dalton and Jesse Jacobs in bed, and magnetic Mr. Jacobs again with Kameron Scott back in the toilets. (Constant Readers might remember 1R Media for being first out of the gate last year with BAREBACK MOUNTAIN, although SSDD is condom-clad.)

NEW RELEASE DESK: Shacked UpStudio: Titan Media
Director: Brian Mills
Cast: Titan Media Exclusives Victor Banda, Darius Falke, Dean Flynn, Dirk Jager and Francois Sagat with Fred Faurtin, Arpad Miklos, Tyler Saint and Alexy Tyler
Dirk Jager is a rising star and he makes his Titan Media debut here; the studio is a good match for the lean, wolflike Mr. Jager's intense sexual mojo. (That's him on the DVD box at left.) And then there's matinee-idol gorgeous Dean Flynn, hot enough to struck men dumb. He really ought to be wearing a superhero costume, right? Current "It" Euro-stud Alexy Tyler is paired with Mr. Jager, while megahung Arpad Miklos puts the beef to All-American Mr. Flynn. Titan calls their fucking "a classic pairing of daddy versus boy" (we say: Yowza). Popular French import Fred Faurtin humps with Victor Banda (a rather unsung performer) while newcomer Tyler Saint attempts to tame fellow superbod Francois Sagat.

NEW RELEASE DESK: Michael Lucas' Auditions Vol. 19Studio: Lucas Entertainment
Director: Michael Lucas
Starring: Trent Alexander, Danny B., Brian Bodine, Christian Cruz, Jimmy, Blu Kennedy, Michael Lucas, Nick Rider, Jason Ridge, Manuel Torres
Coverstud Jimmy (bad-boy hot ain't he?) first appeared in MICHAEL LUCAS AUDITIONS VOLS. 8 and 10, and here he bangs the living hell out of adorably cute Christian Cruz, who was signed as a Lucas Entertainment exclusive after his performance here. Mogul Michael Lucas himself turns up to give the pork Texan newcomer Trent Alexander, while heartbreaker Jason Ridge has his various holes filled by the capable topman Manuel Torres (neither stud is a newcomer, so it's not clear which one is "auditioning" but we ain't complaining). Elsewhere, long-donged, milky-skinned redhead Blu Kennedy is excitingly paired with bald, African-American musclestud Brian Bodine.
