I had the pleasure of watching my very first Gay (male/male) title this past week. Thanks to the recommendation of our very own Dumblonde I ordered the video Idol Country . I was very pleased by my purchase. These men were some of the best I've seen. So fit and handsome. I was most impressed by studs Marco Rossi, Ryan Idol, Steve Marks, Jake Andrews, and also Trent Reed. The thing I enjoyed (besides their goregous bodies) was the believability of the sex. Most of the men looked to be digging what they were doing (no mugging to the camera) & there was tons of kissing throughout the vid. Another important aspect was these guys weren't all tatted up. I noticed about 2 to 3 tattoos in the whole video & those were somewhat smallish.
I'm intending to amass quite a gay collection starting with Idol Country . I know what video to look for next, but I'm interested in hearing recommendations from others out there. I'll list the things I enjoy seeing:
-Handsome, clean-cut men (tans & well built bodies a plus) -Smooth chest -Preferably no tattoos (a few scattered ones are OK but i prefer w/o) -Kissing, nipple sucking/biting -Fair amount of foreplay, esp. stripteases, tight boxer/briefs or speedos -Barefoot porn -the men keep good wood -"no hands" cumshots a big plus -Variety of positions (doggie & missionary were popular in the vid I saw. I want to see other positions also) -1 on 1 scenes; a 3way from time to time is fine
Nothing too outrageous. What I like is one on one passionate, believable sex between attractive people. Some kinky stuff is alright, but I don't want it to overshadow the two stars. Any tips on what specific videos fit my tastes? I may be too general, so if I need to be more specific as to what I am seeking, I can reply in better detail.
I still consider myself a gay porn newbie, since I've seen a total of only 12 movies in this genre so far. My tastes largely agree with yours, however, and hopefully it's not too presumptuous if I mention the ones I've liked best.
If you don't mind going back a ways to the birth of it all, I HIGHLY recommend The Wakefield Poole Collection. The first of the three movies in this set, Boys in the Sand, amply meets the vast majority of items on your wish list. Every scene is one-on-one and includes abundant foreplay, affection, authentic chemistry and sex-positive intensity. The second scene is quite athletic with some unusual and impressive positions. The men have lean but strong builds, very minimal chest hair, attractive tan lines. There are no socks, no condoms and virtually no tats (Peter Fisk had a small spider inked on his arm, IIRC). This is easily among the top ten pieces of erotica I've ever seen, of any orientation. I haven't reviewed it yet, but you can read more about it on this thread.
I'm also quite enamored of a small, independent studio called Daddy Oohhh! The fit with your requirements is not quite as perfect as The Wakefield Poole Collection; some of the performers might be too hairy for your tastes, the positions are not particularly unusual, and there are a few four-person orgies. The sex feels very genuine and unrushed, however, with an especially nice emphasis on eye contact in many of the scenes. The complete list of reviews for Daddy Oohhh! is here. Although it hasn't received very high marks, Country Time, Country Fine is possibly the one that best meets your interests. It's basically a single scene (one-on-one evolving into a three-way) which has been lovingly streeeetched into an entire movie. Not for viewers with ADHD, CTCF includes an extremely generous amount of foreplay and conveys a sense of real-time sex. It fills a unique niche that not too many other movies have attempted to address. I will forewarn you that it is somewhat weak in technical quality, so when I review it later this autumn, I probably won't rate it as high as the other titles from this studio.
Hi YogaGrrl! Thank you for the kind welcome and your input. You're a big help and very much appreciated.
I'm gonna need to buy The Wakefield Poole Collection . The guy on the cover looks yum! The review for Boys in the Sand makes it sound like that video fits in exceptionally well with my tastes. Excellent choice. I'm excited by the fact that in some one on one scenes both guys take turns pleasuring each other with anal sex. I didn't see any of the guys share that activity in the one video I've seen. It's something I'm wanting to see because versatility will increase a stud's appeal to me.
The Daddy Oohhh productions videos do look interesting. Your review of Good Morning Men makes Victor Rios sound absolutely delicious. I checked the photo stills and the men in Willie Gets a Brand New Thing look appealing enough to me. I'll keep an eye on that one.
YogaGrrl, do you have a favorite gay male porn star? Is it tough to choose one? Well, who are some of the fine men that totally do it for you? Love to read your opinion.
Welcome to ADT, FS! I'm not a gay porn watcher, but have seen a few here and there. Mostly really offbeat "underground" movies by the Kuchar Brothers, like "Thundercrack!" or this guy Curt MCDowell -- I don't think I have much useful input. But I am interested in the history of the form, as parallels straight porn.
Anyway, you are in good hands with YogaGrrl and the other fine ADT posters who love to share their knowhow.
That's Casey Donovan (John Calvin Culver, 1943-1987), the featured performer who appears in all three scenes of Boys in the Sand and also in the first two scenes of Boys in the Sand II. He was the first gay porn superstar, and Boys in the Sand launched him to that status. This was possible because Boys in the Sand was the first adult movie (gay or straight) to openly bill its director and performers. I'm guessing the box cover photo for The Wakefield Poole Collection was taken sometime in the '80s. IMHO, Donovan looks even fresher and more wholesome in Boys in the Sand, which debuted in December 1971.I agree with you absolutely. I love equality and taking turns and men being tender with one another. There are no firmly defined top or bottom roles in any of the scenes in Boys in the Sand. Incidentally, I like the other two movies in The Wakefield Poole Collection, as well. It's just that Boys in the Sand is my favorite.Victor is one fine young specimen. He was da man who inspired my first-ever porn induced orgasm. Dano likes him, too, and was kind enough to post links to a couple of pics on this thread.
Good Morning Men is still one of my personal favorites; I like it even better than the four-star rating of my review would imply. I have a hard time explaining or justifying my feelings, since male masturbation seems to be a specialty genre which appeals to a limited audience. Something about that movie just really does it for me, though. I could nibble those guys all over with my eyes. I love watching them caress themselves, and I love imagining I'm there and they're letting me watch or even participate. Yeah, they're gay, but that only increases the yummy-naughty factor for me. I like to pretend they're feeling a little kinky or open to variety and might be willing to try a woman like me on for size, if only for 15 minutes. Would almost certainly never happen in real life, but hey, fantasizing is fun!
I can't honestly say that I have one yet. I haven't seen enough movies to form a firm opinion. I like versatile men who spark with intelligence and a bit of mischief, who have reasonably fit but not overblown physiques, and who show some soul in their sexuality.
Boys in the Sand does sound the best for my tastes of the three. I'll need to see those soon. I also love tenderness. Seeing two powerful men pay careful attention to detail to each other's body is the ultimate turn-on. I think the macho stereotype of men makes it all the more incredible when I see strong men be so delicate with one another. Of course, a little naughtyness from time to time can work wonders, too!Thanks for sharing! Sweet pics of Victor. He definitely has got it going on. Yum. Do you know if Victor is Latino or might he be of a Latino & Black mixture? Is he strictly a solo performer or does he do intercourse on video?Really cool fantasy! Ya never know, a sensual gay man may be curious to experience new things with a woman. Victor gave you your first porn induced orgasm, imagine what he could do in personNicely put. I'm in agreement. A man whose goal is to give pleasure to his partner is the absolute best.
I prefer fit and firm bodies, but I agree they don't need to be jakked out of their mind. Nice abs, well-developed pecs, broad shoulders, sturdy thighs, and a round bum is what gets me going
Thanks, DB! Yup, I was able to purchase Idol Country for around $20. Well worth every cent and then some. So many other gay titles are in the $40 to $60 range, which is why I always want to choose wisely with what I decide to buy. Judging by your excellent review and reviews done by others, my second purchaseThe Jan Dvorak Story sounds like it is worth spending extra on. I'm eager to check out Jan Dvorak from every angle possible~
I'm not sure about his ethnicity, but he does work with partners. I liked Victor's performance in opening three-way of Funn & Games. He's an anal inserter only in that scene, though he seems happy to both give and receive oral. There's a nice, respectable pop from him at the end.
A little digging turned up these three additional DVDs for Victor Rios. I haven't seen them, so I don't know if they'd meet your needs.
Nice to know Victor isn't one of those one shot wonders. He is definitely one guy I'll keep track of to see what else he shows up in. Thanks for all your help, YogaGrrl!
Hey, I can access ADT at a bar while I'm on travel!!
Victor Rios is on the cover of the current issue of Latin Inches, which may be some indication of ethnicity. He was also in the video "Black Power, White Surge," which I guess says something, too.
He has only topped in videos as far as I know (he topped Matt Summers in Pillage and Plunder, for example).
