Least favorite gay porn star/Favorite gay porn star?

[eurotop40]

Victor Steele is super hot... I have a long list. Will post later.

 

[WillyLong]

What do you mean by Tyler Saint? I don't understand what you mean by "super nasty". Are you referring to the bareback scene or something?

Some of the stuff he's done on the bound gods website is just too much for me, but hey, it's his body, his choice.

 

[yaoirabbit]

You lucky dog!:biggrin1:

My current favorites:

Alexsander Freitas - sexy as hell and a savage top.

Francois Sagat - I like him better as a bottom then a top.

Junior Stellano - an incredible ripped body and hot ass. Nice top but much better as a bottom.

Alex Collack - God I would love to see the centerpiece of rough gangbang with five or six well-hung men.

Ricky Sinz - a vicious top and nasty bottom.

Rafael Alencar - great body who knows how to use his thick cock well!

Gage Weston - simply adore him!! He recent coupling with Nate Karlton (another favorite) in Colt's "Ripped: No Pain, All gain" was incredibly hot. They performed almost as if they were a real couple the chemistry was so strong between them.

They're others but I'm going to leave my last choice to...

Tyler Saint!! I am in fucking LUST with this man. Gorgeously handsome without being superficial. Fantastically muscular without being freakness and he has a beautifully cut cock. He may not be hugely hung but his thick and his shit clocks in about eight and a half inches and that's pretty damn impression and God knows the man knows how to use it very well!! The fact that he's in his early/mid-forties and still has his hotness is a major plus. He's always been a great top but now he bottoms as well...HOLY FUCK!! Like Collack I would love to see him the center of gangbang! He's a college football coach who coaches his team to victory and in celebration his hot, sexy - and extremely well-hung - football players gangbang him in the gym locker room. The team goes all crazy and fuck the holy shit outta Coach Saint repeatedly! Cum in just dripping all outta his sweaty ass and mouth. Just think on it gets me HARD!

The only negative I currently have about him is the fact he barebacks. I would hate to one day read he died of AIDS are any other STD.

Just because Tyler Saint did a bareback scene doesn't automatically mean he's going to catch an STD. Any of those guys on your list could be having bareback sex in their personal life. Also, Ricky Sinz has had unprotected sex in his straight scenes. Why did you only criticize Tyler and not him too?

 

[WillyLong]

Yaoirabbit, what is up with you and barebacking? This is the second post I've seen of you on the attack about barebacking (the first post directed toward me in this thread). You're angry because Jerome66 criticized gay barebacking but not straight barebacking. Whether it's gay or straight, unprotected sex really isn't the issue. The issue is straight porn tests for STDs whereas gay porn does not. Straight porn cares about the health of it's straight pornstars, gay porn does not. Until this inequity changes, gay barebacking will always be looked upon as a breeding ground for disease whereas straight barebacking will not.

yaoirabbit,

I wasn't aware that Ricky Sinz did straight porn. I basically only watch gay porn. But if I did know I probably would have expressed concern about him as well. I can't talk about what these performers do behind the scene in the privacy of their own house. I can only discuss what they do in front of the camera and while I know there are fans who enjoy viewing barebacking, whenever I come across them, my only thoughts is that those performers are unnecessarily playing Russian Roulette. Yeah they maybe doing that in their private life but like I said I can't discuss because I don't know.

We all know that the porn industry could and can be a breeding ground for all types of STDs. Why increase that chance by not using the proper protection? That's all what I was trying to say. Because like I mentioned I simply adore Tyler Saint. He's just fabulous and it would sadden me that I would read somewhere that he's contracted or was dying - say - from AIDS and it's a direct line to him barebacking in porn.

Uhh, when have I ever attacked you (or anyone else for that matter)? I think that's an extreme exaggeration and a bit dramatic. You stated that you didn't like Tyler Saint because he was "super nasty". I asked you to elaborate since I was curious, while questioning whether or not it had to do with his bareback scene. How is that attacking someone? LOL

As for Jerome66's comment, I don't consider that attacking either. I basically pointed out that his post was somewhat hypocritical. And BTWWillyLong, I'd like for you to point out where I've shown signs of anger toward anyone. I find it very interesting that you felt you were able to come to an accurate conclusion about my mood based on computer screen text.

Oh, and yes. The straight porn industry certainly does care about its performers. Be sure to tell that to Darren James. Peace.

Oh, okay. I probably should've just informed you of Ricky's straight porn work first instead of making you out to seem like a hypocrite. I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong and I apologize.

Also, I respect your opinion on the subject. But me, I try not to criticize how another person chooses to live his/her life. Sure, barebacking is dangerous. But for some people, life is about taking chances and living it to the fullest. Skydivers take chances with their lives all the time. So do people who smoke or people who become police offers. In fact, we take chances every time we walk outside of our house. I don't see barebacking being any different. Like I said, I do respect you opinion. And I hope you respect mine too. This is the last I'll say on the subject because we're getting off topic.

 

[Bbucko]

This is the last I'll say on the subject because we're getting off topic.

Actually, there's been a whole weird vibe in this thread about BB versus condom porn, but it's been an issue in gay porn since the late 80s when the "big switch" was made and condoms became mandatory for "mainstream gay porn" (a term so freighted with contradictions and improbabilities that it requires quotation marks); Kristen Bjorn's first action (as opposed to solo) feature Carnival In Rio (1989) was 90% condomless, for instance, and 1989 was the last year Falcon produced anything that wasn't 100% safer-sex.

But it's important to remember that by that time HIV/AIDS was already a big big deal: that was the year I decided to stop counting the number of friends and acquaintances of mine who'd died when that number hit 60. From the point of view of public health, condoms arrived really late on the scene, and the vids we now call "pre-condom" porn, especially the later stuff, really are documents of guys getting unintentionally infected with HIV. Yet it's an incredibly popular genre, despite poor lighting, bad camera work, generally unattractive performers and some of the worst soundtracks ever recorded, unless, of course it was listless, pointless and so bland that "vanilla" is too racy an adjective to describe it (the exceptions from the "major studios" are few enough to list on both hands).

The only guys who were doing really good, really interesting "mainstream" porn was Surge Studio, which was run by Al Parker, who came out early as HIV+ and who produced/directed/starred in the first vid I remember seeing where a condom was used at all, and that was probably in 85 or so, though most of their stuff remained BB. They combined high-end production values, interesting guys, a little kink occasionally and made much more interesting vids than Catalina or Falcon.

The late, great Christopher Rage belongs in another category altogether: by anyone's definition, he was producing the nastiest, filthiest, most depraved and wildly hot gay porn ever made. Nothing produced today even comes close, but Rage was an artist (an auteur of filth), and he combined street hustlers with professionals and assorted regular pervs in a way that's just electrifying. His use of soap-opera-type videotape (as opposed to film) was also notable because, instead of the usual on-the-cheap look, it gave an immediacy with was (and remains) both very rare and incredibly sexy, like watching CCTV from a room or two away. His death left a void that's never been replaced, and his videography is still incomplete, occasionally heavily edited and obscure due to the terrible job Spunk does at marketing the product they do have (by no means all of it).

We all know that the porn industry could and can be a breeding ground for all types of STDs. Why increase that chance by not using the proper protection? That's all what I was trying to say. Because like I mentioned I simply adore Tyler Saint. He's just fabulous and it would sadden me that I would read somewhere that he's contracted or was dying - say - from AIDS and it's a direct line to him barebacking in porn.

The issue is straight porn tests for STDs whereas gay porn does not. Straight porn cares about the health of it's straight pornstars, gay porn does not. Until this inequity changes, gay barebacking will always be looked upon as a breeding ground for disease whereas straight barebacking will not.

Anyone doing gay condomless porn over the last ten or so years since its resurgence about 10 years ago is already HIV+; that's a presumption I made early on that has since been confirmed by several people (including at least one member here at LPSG) with whom I've spoken. At least that's the case in American-made stuff by TIM, HDK, Dick Wadd, Spunk, SX, etc; that twinky stuff from Europe like SEVP is another story. I'm unaware of the extent, if any, they go to ensure the status of their various couplings, and that's one of the many reasons I find their product unappealing, though watching two pale, skinny guys having bored and listless ultravanilla sex isn't really my thing anyway.

Though I'm an avid consumer of Active Duty and appreciate their BB scenes, I always wonder if the guys are really aware of what they could be getting themselves into. Greater pay may or may not be an issue, but I have the distinct impression that all condomless sex produced by DBM (Dirty Bird Media) is strictly and 100% consensual, even if that consent may not be ideally well-informed. I've gotta admit that the thought crosses my mind every time I see one of their BB scenes.

Though I have no access to his medical records, based on his willingness to do BB porn I'm gonna have to say that he's already poz with 99.99% certainty. A quick Google image search certainly confirmed that he fits the mold of the current PLWHA (person living with HIV/AIDS: and, no, I didn't make that up. It's a real term used in HIV/AIDS literature). Not everyone who is poz fits the stereotype of gaunt-faced, emaciated old perv (you know, like me for instance ). Not everyone went through the agonies of the early meds, and the kinder, gentler meds they have now don't cause the same degree of facial wasting and other aspects of lipoatrophy as the old stuff; besides, it's more likely than not that he's on 'roids and/or HGH, has had his face "filled" with Restylane or some other fill, is botoxed to the max and counts on Viagra/Cialis/Levitra to get and stay hard. This is 2010, remember?

And to whoever said above that Drew Peters gives him the creeps: you get a gold star. There's something about him that makes his scenes unwatchable. And whoever decided to make Rock Bottom such a "star" needs to have his meds adjusted: the guy's got nothing at all. He's chubby, got a smallish/average cut toadstool of a dick, wide fat ass and zero charisma. He's a perfect Zero as far as I'm concerned.

Sure, barebacking is dangerous. But for some people, life is about taking chances and living it to the fullest. Skydivers take chances with their lives all the time. So do people who smoke or people who become police offers. In fact, we take chances every time we walk outside of our house. I don't see barebacking being any different.

I think this is so wrong.

Barebacking is not "living life to the fullest." It is more like giving up, like you have nothing left to live for so you may as well kill yourself by doing something you know perfectly well is bad for you. Is getting cum up your ass really worth giving up your life? Is a long healthy life really not worth the $5 and 30 seconds it takes to put a condom on? Is it really that much trouble?

Skydivers still take all the appropriate precautions so that they can enjoy the endorphin rush without plummeting to their deaths. Smoking is an addiction. Police officers take a solemn oath to place other people's safety above their own. Those are all extremely disingenuous comparisons that in no way support your argument.

To bring this at least approximately back to topic, it is my opinion that all forms of bareback porn are wrong. To watch ropy men die on screen - and in fact actively pursue death on screen - is not erotic to me. The adult men involved in this know exactly what they're doing - that I can't deny - but an ethical person would try to persuade them out of it rather than pay them to do it.

I agree that the little twinks probably aren't given all the information. Schools certainly don't tell them, so it's up to us as older gay men to lead our successors along and teach them the lessons we had to learn the hard way. But no - instead we take advantage of their naivety to make them fuck bare on camera for our enjoyment. And that leads to the case of the 18-year-old kid who contracts HIV on set. Do you really think that kid is physically, emotionally or financially equipped to deal with that? But hey, you watched him get fucked without a condom, so you're alright.

As for the Slovakian teenagers, I agree that the risk of HIV infection there is probably less, but that doesn't make the image they are portraying any less wrong. Kids watching porn on the internet aren't taught that they ought to wear condoms when they fuck, and they sure as hell aren't going to wait to read a health disclaimer when they've got a hardon to care of. So they see these other healthy and happy-looking young studs doing what they want to do, and that's what they'll do.

What really upsets me the most about all of this is that we've known to solution to all of this for 30 years, and we just refuse to do it. For God's sake, why?

All I see is a guy who flips out whenever the word barebacking shows up in a post, or if someone uses the words super nasty, you automatically assume I'm talking about barebacking when I wasn't, I was talking about bondage scenes. You didn't just ask me to "elaborate", you actually used the word barebacking as a taunt.

Anytime someone shows up with an STD in straight porn, they shut down filming until everyone is tested, those that are infected are released, and the industry continues. Darren James had to be removed before he infected other porn performers (you be sure to tell Darren James that), that's something gay porn will never do and until it does, gay barebacking will always be seen in a negative light. Who wants to work for a company that couldn't care less if you're passing STDs back and forth to each other? If that's something you want to do, go for it. It's your body, your choice. Peace.

Dislikes:

Titpig! Arrgh, he's like in every bear/daddy porn movie I see, and I'm just so tired of seeing him. Plus he just doesn't shut up, and those udders for tits are a turn off.

MackSF: Sorry, but a pseudo Dom Daddy, raping his squealing Bois don't really do anything for me. Plus his partner actually films him, and sycophantically worship the ground he walks on, whilst trying to live off the reflected glory. Pathetic.

Gay for Pay: Enough said.

 

[elegant20]

Here is another one: Possibly the gay porn stars from the early 90s. That was a moment when it was a dark era with most gay porn movies before it finally found itself again somewhere in 1994-1995. But during the 1990-1992 era of gay porn, there was a dark period then.

Possibly some of the Bel Ami models, the exception being Lukas.

Totally on agree on the appeal of Matthew Rush and Michael Brandon. Couldnt't disagree with you with more on that, FastKat and Jerome66.

 

[patronpk]

The worst of the bunch is anything by Bobby Garcia -He has ruined more videos of nice men than anyone in the business - he's a nervous wreck - running around the 'set', interupting the guy (s) performing & when it's over - bang! the end of the tape! Phones ringing - a guy is getting all ready to get off and suddenly a look like 'wtf is going on' comes over his face & idiot Garcia is running around doing something stupid!
One of the best is Vinnie Russo's sites - he just gets down to nicely sucking cock !!

 

[BigD_2]

As I said, I just can't stand Drew Peters, he ruins any scene he is in for me.

Matthew Rush has been a frequently-discussed topic on this thread; I found him super hot when he first started in porn, mostly for his amazing body and his hot ass. But then, he seldom got fucked in his hot ass, and didn't seem to be much "into" porn it didn't seem. And I like tops with big dicks, which it didn't look like he has. Still a hot body and incredibly sexy lips....

But then he 'roided up and his body sort of became just...laughable. Nobody actually looks like that. Turn off.

Chad Hunt is a definite fave but, I noted that towards the latter part of his career he got even more tatoos and let his hair grow longer....which made him look skanky. I like early to mid career Chad Hunt.

Chris Neal from Treasure Island fame ruins every scene he is in for me. Too many tattoos, including that crazy one on his cock....bleh.

Not a "least fave" but I never got the appeal of Joey Stefano. Sure he bottoms well, but so did Danny Sommers who I thought was hotter.

I have to say I also am no fan of Pierre Fitch.

I always found Stryker hot, but the fact he won't shut up is annoying. He has a great cock which he really knew how to use, but anyone who is "gay for pay" is still kind of annoying.

Anyway, I have a lot of faves. Let's see if I can make a top ten - in no particular order -

-Ralph Woods
-Kevin Dean
-Rafael Carreras
-Matt Hughes
-Francois Sagat
-Rafael Alencar
-BJ Slater
-Titch Jones
-Yago Mendoca
-Pablo Picaco

Those last two from AMG Brasil where I pretty much am a kid in a candy store lol

 

[CuriousGuy]

TJ Swann is my all time favorite Black gay pornstar. He's the FIRST homothug and the rest of us owe him our respect.

Couldn't agree more with your acknowledgment of TJ Swann being the pioneer in the homothug category. I remember the first time I laid eyes on this ebony god of sexuality. It was on the cover of INCHES magazine back in the mid '80s. I quickly purchased the magazine and had many enjoyable times stroking to his spread in the magazine. I was amazed that dicks really could be that big and guys that looked like him could actually be gay. :biggrin1:

 

[elegant20]

I forgotten another one, though. I think this guy started in the mid-90s cleancut and then ridiculously roided up in the late 90s-early 00s. The dye job looked horrible......I think his name was Chad Conners, who appeared in Night Walk: A Bedtime Story. He just look so ridiculous now compare to what he looked like then.
