Hmmm...
Where to begin. Well I don't own a single porn video. I desperately, want/need to change that. I think I need to start my own collection of porn. The problem is I really don't know where or how. I have to wait till I get back to Pennsylvania (for school) because penetration in porn is illegal here in Oklahoma. Don't ask me why! But also, I have no clue what to buy. I could definitely use some reccomendations. I want something that has some sort of plot but isn't boring with simulated sex. (I've read some of the reviews here talking about that.) I don't think I want just pure sex for the whole video, unless of course it's just too good to pass up. Thanks for your help in advance. Feel free to email me: jedsh99@aol.com Great day to you. :-)

Welcome on board. Though you do not own any porn videos now, have you seen any? It's very expensive to buy porn videos, especially gay porn. But my advice is do not go for cheap ones. Buy only well known studio releases such as Bel Ami, Studio 2000, Falcon.
Studio 2000 releases always have a very good plot, lot of dialogues. I rent videos in the past. But ever since DVD shows up, I started my collection, painfully slow though because they are so expensive.

Jed,
There are some very good SOLO jackoff vids that would fit into your states laws. Well, at least it's a start.

I forgot to mention that anything I buy has to be on DVD b/c I don't have a VCR anymore. I just saw that Dream Team is on sale for $33 in the post above this one. I assume that would be a good place to start for me. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Welcome aboard!
I own many gay adult DVDs. Stick with the better studios, like Kristen Bjorn, Studio 2000, Atomic. Their DVDs cost more, but in gay porn, you really get what you pay for.
Stay away from Sunshine, they are low priced and low quality!
If I could only own one DVD or if I were starting my collection I would buy "Comrades in Arms" by Kristen Bjorn. Hot cast, hot sex! It is a little short on dialogue, but many folks rate it a 10 out of 10. Its about $36 at DVD Advantage.
I have ordered both Dream Team and Tailspin on DVD. I have seen both on video and they are well done with a nice story.
Hope this helps!

Greetings, Jedsh03, and welcome. I agree with the others!
Gay porn is outrageously expensive compared either straight porn or mainstream movies on DVD. Perhaps that's no surprise, since the same holds true for VHS. Still, the phrase "you get what you pay for" has never been truer. Most of the premium titles are worthy additions to any library. And only a few of the bargain titles are worth watching, let alone buying.
If you haven't seen them already, check out the [url=466638]Gay DVD Recommendations</A and [url=466639]Gay DVD Reviews</A pages here at GDR. They're based on the opinions and recommendations of the folks on this board...
I agree that Bjorn, Studio 2000 and Atomic are good studios to look at first for a newbie. Probably in that order, although the Bjorn films are famous for their scenic beauty rather than for plot...<small>

Hey Jed!
Thanks for posting the note! Don't be a stranger to the board either, it's always fun to have some new people with some fresh ideas and thoughts!
Anyway, I think some of those guys missed a valuable point.....what are you into? Leather, S&M, Twinks (young cute boys), college or all american type hunks, big dicks, ethnic? We may be able to steer you in a better direction.
I personally like just about all of it and have been collecting porn for years. I'm not obsessed with it but just like to watch some hot guys getting it on.
Let me know if there's something in particular you like......
p.s. Czech Point is one of the best I've seen in a while-moderate story-hot men-mostly all american type, and a coupld of hot European guys. I did a review at [url=35694]http://www.adultdvdempire.com</A

Netguy, you are right! I missed it completely. Jedsh03 did post a message on August 2, 2000, regarding Twinks.
Maybe this is what he likes or wants to explore?
If it is twinks, then my guess is Bel Ami or Pride video, but I have never viewed any of their DVDs. I do have friends who like the more youthful look and they rave about the above two studios.
I just received and watched Dream Team and Tailspin. Both are very well done with a full story and plenty of dialogue. Both have very high production values. They spent quite alot on the various sets that they filmed on in comparison to most of the currently available DVDs. Both have the more youthful looking models (in comparison to Eruption or River Patrol), but I'm not quite sure they qualify as Twinks. Sorry guys, I'm not an expert on Twinks.
I did like Dream Team better than Tailspin because it ended on a happy note!

Those two titles sound pretty good....I'll have to check them out!
The BelAmi titles are AWESOME if you like twinks but their hardcore is on VHS only! BOO! Hiss! But they have nice locations, gorgeous, cute, uncut European boys...they are hot!
The Pride line has some dvds with the BelAmi models but they are softcore and "simulated" sex.....but they can be somewhat erotic as well if you like the young guys!
If you like "daddy" type or a bit more rugged or on the hardcore side go with Titan, like Desert Train...
So many men , so little time! haha

Hey Boys, (and any girls into gay male porn :-)
I've been lurking a while taking in your suggestions, THANK YOU SO MUCH! But I ran across the last few posts, and realized, I hadn't spoken up much about what I like when it comes to pornography. (or sex for that matter...hehe) I have to tell you that a giant wild massive orgy would really hit the spot about now. I love seeings lots of various body parts going everywhere and not knowing whose they are. Also, lots of cum, everywhere. I want to see lots of guys erupt, not shy about it, on each other. I'm not really into leather, S/M (maybe some light s/m but no chains or anything), bears, or ethnic. I do like twinks, but more one the muscular side, and young college hunks of meat. The biggest turn on for me in the whole wide world though is a sailor..yummy! The size of the dick is really not important, yet what its owner does with it is! Story is an almost must. I don't want to see unbelievable characters, if at all costs. Oh, and this whole simulated sex business??? What's up with that, who wants to see two people pretending to have sex! If I'm gonna pay for the movie, I gotta have the real thing! What is the difference visually between softcore and hardcore? I guess this will do for now...keep em coming and I'll be in touch. :-)
Ciao,
Jed

Soft porn has nudity, but no penetration, while hardcore runs the full range of penetration, W/S, FF, etc, some of which may be deemed illegal in some parts of the country.
As for simulated sex, it actually occurs to some degree in all movies. It may range from an expression on a guy's face when he cums, using a "stunt" dick, and if the camera angles are right, faking penetration.
Sometimes if there is only one camera to record the action, the first take will be focused on the cum shot, the second take will be focused on the guys face as he pretends to cum. Edit it all together and no one will know. From time to time, but not very often, they will have a guy standing in who can "get it up" asap if the star can't get it up, etc. Usually in those cases, they will film close up and show only the waist of the top and the other guys butt of course, so you can't see their faces. There was one porn star who did alot of stunt dicking, but his name escapes me right now.
Even penetration can be faked very easily without most folks knowing. If one guy is on his knees bending forward toward the camera and the other guy is behind him "thrusting back and forth with his body" it is assumed that penetration is happening, but it just could be that the guy is just faking it. After all, these guys are actors!
Welcome to Hollywood!!!

I'm still laughing about "stunt dicks". How would you like that on your resume? Do porno stars have "dick doubles?" I wonder?

Stunt dicks? Yes, indeedee... Sometimes I even recognize them: "Hey, that's not so-and-so's cock, that's so-and-so!"
And then there are the times when it's REALLY obvious: "Hey-- weren't his pubes blonde just a moment ago?"
