I'm bordering on the hetero, so apologies if this is not to everybody's taste! Has anybody seen Ken Ryker's new bisex movie "Mass Appeal2" or the Stryker/Ryker flick called "Raw"?

If so, are they any good? Or are there any reviews of them anywhere? :)

Thanks, Simon

Mass Appeal 2 only got a Recommended review at Mannet.com, which usually is their sneaky way of saying "don't waste your money". As far as I can tell, it's only available on VHS right now. For some behind the scenes scoop about this film, check out this site. The Mass Appeal info is WAY down near the bottom. (right past the picture of Justin Timberlake)

I couldn't really find any information about "Raw". I'm not even sure if it's for sale. If you check out Jeff's site it says he's still taking preorders for it.

(I like how Stryker's website proclaims: This is Strictly a High Class Hetrosexual Adult LIVE Sex site ... nice )

There is nothing "sneaky" going on with regard to our rating of "Mass Appeal 2." I think the review speaks for itself -- it's certainly a worthwhile video, not great, but certainly worthwhile.

There may be nothing sneaky about the rating of Mass Appeal 2 however, a rating of only recommended on the mannet.com website raises a caution flag.

I almost always read the reviews posted on mannet. They are on the mark as to content and activity. What they too often neglect are lapses of production quality and/or sexual intensity. However, the site is still an important tool in my quest for great gay porn.

Based on the many videos reviewed on mannet.com which I have seen, those garnering a double-highly are always exceptional in some way. Those videos rating a single-highly are almost always worth a rental and often worthy of purchase. Those which are only recommended - no highly at all - are generally worth renting only if they happen to include a favorite star (or pairing) or are by a favorite director or their plot/theme is of particular interest - decision to purchase to be made only after the rental.

It's all a matter of scale. The lesser superlative is still a superlative, however lesser it may be.

BTW, thanks for a great site, Mr Harris; and welcome to ADT.

Hi Butch!

I agree with GaySatyr... mannet is an invaluble resourse when trying to figure out what porn to buy. BUT, the rating system is a little bit weird.

I think you will find that a number of people only skim long reviews (or don't even read them at all) and just pay attention to the final rating. I'm guilty of this myself alot when reading your site. If I see something rated as only "Recommended", I cross it right off my list of porn to buy, since porn is to too expensive to waste money on if it's only 1 step up from "Not Recommended At all".

I don't know if this was your intent, but this is how I visually see your ratings:
Highly, Highly Recommended = 5 stars
Highly Recommended = 4 stars
Recommended = 3 stars
Not Reviewed = less than 3 stars

In my world, 3 star movies are almost never worth buying, unless there's someone in particular in there that you are dieing to see.

I want to see this movie, I read an article in one of the mainstream gay mags which interviewed a gay for pay porn actor. This actor decided to take bottoming role for the money, he bottomed for the first time in the movie for none other than Ken Ryker. Now that I want to see..
