The Downfall Of Czech Gay Porn Studios

Slightly off topic I wonder why 'William Higgins' did not venture to create some pornographic content in Poland
I think its been answered already in this thread but the Czech studious mostly operated in Czechia or Slovakia and maybe Germany, because of massive unemployment in those countries for young men. But I've seen some hott Polish guys too soooo, too bad

Many Russians, Czechs and Americans are just damn good-looking.
I'd say yes except for the Americans. Most of the Americans I see in porn appear to be fake, over hyped, talks to much " you want my load"... "Yeah give me that fuking load." Or worn out or dried up. But the Russians and Czechs at least seem to be normal guys, who just came from down the street, either from working a job or just from the gym who recently appeared to just fuck. Much more sexy, at least as it appears lol
 
your sure right. Its not ONE thing. Its the combination.
Russia is i think now cheaper than south america... casue like lets say colombia, all are now going there... from OF agencies, to webcams, and porn producers fly there now^^

I can just say, i still find boys here in europe. but most producers are lazy as fuck and not the smartest ones^^
You are finding them specifically? What do you say to them exactly? Seen a few good German guys appear on Instagram but their is n German guy porn or porn at all. At least not marketed internationally
 
lol looks like his OF sucks. Although hes buffed up a good bit he not doing anything on OF. Strange since the other Belami boys post sex scenes all over their OF ( for $30 a peace tho ). But he is literally doing nothing with that muscular body he has now.

Their was a recent vid drop on Belami of him topping at least. So their is still hope
 
Not sure why but that muscular look has always been the preferred look, at least going back to the Romans and antiquity ect. In the Untied States during the 60s, it was a idea to make working out a mandatory requirement of all high school boys. See film here Regardless of the reasons to get in shape, the after affects are nice to look at. However not all people who are attracted to men, are attracted to men with muscles
What you highlighted was the exception than rather the norm for the majority of the United States public high schools during that period. That filmed document was at La Sierra High School (Riverside, California), the supposed template for all compulsory physical education at every United States public middle and high schools. Many believe there was an 'Cold War' element behind this as many of these students you see behind that filmed snippet were later compulsory drafted during the Vietnam War (1965-1973).

Poland did undergo the same economic dislocations and disruptions as any other post-Cold War (1947-1989) Eastern European countries. I read from a few online sources that Poland national unemployment was averaging around 20% throughout most of the 1990's and 2000's.. I suppose there was ample reason for willing attractive young men to partake in pornography during that time for the reasonable amount of quick and easy money.
 
Probably going on a bit of tangent I was quite late of first watching an 'Kristen' Bjorn directed Hungarian homosexual pornographics firstly around 1996 or 1997 (Comrades in Arms/1995, Hungary for Men/1996, The Vampire of Budapest/1995) and 'George Duroy' directed Czech and Slovak homosexual pornographic films (Frisky Summer/1995, Lukas' Story/1994, The Chain Reaction/1995, The Plowboys/1995) again probably when I first saw these films around 1997 or 1998. I was quite mesmerized by the overall athletic and muscular bodily physique, profound facial features, the perceived filmed masculine sensual persona by many of their performers, especially compared to their Western contemporaries (particularly their American and British counterparts). Afterwards admittedly becoming quite obsessively researching the artistic culture, demography, geography, history of Czechia/Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia. Hoping some time in the near future of me visiting these nations and sexually engaging some of the men from these countries.

Hungary is not safe, at all, for hookups.

Why? is it because of their leader? Its noticeable apparent that the Hungarian models in Staxus and Belami are very stern and aggressive. With the exception of Kris Evans, models like Joel Birkin took a lot of persuasion to film for belami. He clearly had a attitude that definitely melted away overtime. I merely assumed that Hungary was just aggressive in general

I completely agree. As a child growing up in the 2000s, I always admired the guys who had a "overall athletic and masculine exterior. When dating guys I only really were attracted to the more masculine guys instead of the feminine ones. When I discovered porn, although the free sites I was always attracted to the sites that I now know as eastern European gay porn. i was primary attracted to them for their " Profound facial features " and body features in general. To me they simply look how guys are suppose to look however "forbidden" as these boys are straight. Even the gay guys in Czech porn are straight passing in some respects. In any case these boys were beautiful. So beautiful anyone would pay money to fuck them, or at the very least see them fuck. I think people have always admired these qualities in young men either as gay men or women, going back to antiquity and beyond. We just find ourselves in a position that these beautiful guys allow us to explore it. For a price

I have seen German, or at least German speaking porn but nothing from Poland. What Poland sites are you referring too

Would religion not have been a severe impediment to recruiting Polish guys in the adult entertainment industry? Poland is the most religious European country after Vatican City. More than 90% of Poles identify as Catholic, then and now. The contrast with the Czech Republic, one of the least religious practicing areas in Europe, is like night and day.

This is a generalisation. Hungary by and large is not safe for the queer population. Want proof? Talk to the queer Hungarian population who lives in Vienna. The sheer amount of movement over the past decade is staggering. The porn stars you are referring to were indeed stars about a decade ago and are not actually gay. Oh well

Darius Ferynand is back in Hungary with a new child, Chris Evans was a policeman there who now is elsewhere, and David Sweet still advertises. Ian Faust disappeared from porn. Several Hungarian guys appeared in Bel Ami when it was filming in Bratislava and Budapest both. The death of Budapest gay life was when Action Club closed. It was the center of gay life for many people everywhere who visited just for it. Then when Bel Ami folded....

Viktor Orban and his gang of oligarchs and hoodlums should also be noted. Hungary is a beautiful but regressive country...

Thats the reason indeed.
There was some polish porn, even gay stuff. But it was very small.
Today you sure get polish models sometimes. But as the industry settled in Prague and Budapest and since the crash 2008 also in Barcelona... there is no space for another capital of porn.
And there the studios are, there are scouts and agents who find you the models.

I think it's tempting to lionize the past. If you look at a lot of 90s physical media coming out of Eastern Europe, there are some very cute guys, but a lot of very plain guys. Peter Azur (aka Peter Rush) the star of "Boy Crash" and "Internat" for example, was all the rave, but I mean honestly he's a pretty plain guy; he can't stay hard; he doesn't suck dick, just lets it slide in and out of his mouth. His co-stars are wooden. None swallow, they let it dribble out of their mouths. But he was so popular that Man's Best brought him back 10 years later.

For every really hot Czech performance back then, there are 3 very dull Eastern Bloc examples. Ton (the Russian twink, of TonIsBad and other outlets) comes to mind.
Though it does strike me you're talking mostly about early 00s online streaming and I'm mostly talking about early 90s videos. But the same issues are present in both.

It's also tempting to glamorize the whole situation when it was actually quite brutal. There's a series of movies about the industry in Prague in the 90s--Not Angels But Angels (1994), Body Without Soul (96), and Mandragora (97)--two are documentary, the third is fiction based on the two docs. The young men share how they were treated, their abject terror of AIDS and the refusal of producers to let them wear condoms, the exploitation of their poverty and homelessness, the fact that so many of them were as young as 14, the way they were transitioned from performers into prostitutes for wealthy tourists who knew them from the films. Frankly, watching the documentaries, I couldn't help but realize as they spoke that most of those hot guys I was pirating as a teenager are probably dead, even though they should only be maybe 43-55 years old.

The rise and fall of Czech studios is basically an economics story as many other replies have pointed out. It has happened over and over. In the late 1800s all the way up through the 70s, the utterly impoverished boys of Southern Italy were the object. East Germans in the 80s. Eastern Europeans in the 90s. Now South Asians and South Americans.

I actually like the advent of platforms like OF because it allows young men who want to capitalize on their bodies to do so outside the brutal studio system. If a broke guy in Colombie decides he's willing to do gay shit for money, he's doing it on his own terms.

All true actually, although I never seen these documentary films. Only a few youtubers who talked about gay porn life from the 60s to the 90s with the unfortunate introduction of the AIDs epidemic, as of which lots of beautiful young talent from the 80s has been lost. Which was actually the catalyst for the explosion of gay gorn in especially eastern Europe. With the Eastern European boys coming form small and isolated villages, they were the least likely to contract HIV and be overall healthy. As far as the treatment of models, that goes as far as the history of models themselves, males and females even actors were victims at one time.

As you mention, people being used like this goes far beyond the late 1800s but as far back as humankind itself. As long as their are people with the means, they will find ways to implement their desires even at the expense of unsuspecting young ( and attractive ) people.

I've seen some of Peter Azur videos and I believe he was part of a German production company. I agree with about the performances, which seem standard for straight boys, but do not know about the behind the scenes stuff.

Their is some south Asian and South American productions as far back as the early 2000s at least, but their is virtually no information as how the productions were made.

I understand its usually a uglyness to the amazingly sexy scenes people jerk off too but most people overlook that or are completely obliviously to it, simply for the fact that it is a beauty can't see otherwise. If it is straight guys they are attracted to then money is the only way to make it happen even if it is a lie.

And I agree that Of is great for the proformer, although the proformer can produce or not produce the type of content the consumer is looking for or not deliver at all and fully make a profit. Some porn studios know their models may potentially make a OF and contract them on contingencies. So the power is still shifting
