I am somewhat new to this site and I have a question for Joe Blow since he is kind of the resident expert of things on this forum. I have checked out your website but saw no reviews for ManWatcher (Kristen Bjorn). Have you seen this and is it really as great as everyone says it is? I have only seen one or two gay movies (Hot Times in Little Havana is one of them). I was really interested in buying ManWatcher. I was also interested in Comrades in Arms, Trying It On For Size, Czech Point, Hotel Italia, Gambler's Delight and Just for Fun (saw a few of these on you're web site, anything on the others?)

Also, is it common place for a straight person to watch/be aroused by gay porn? Just wondering if you have had any experience with this as well?

I'm not JoeBlow69, but I've seen all the titles you mentioned (the ratings are my own assessments):
  • ManWatcher (Kristen Bjorn) - excellent! (5)

  • Comrades in Arms (Kristen Bjorn) - excellent! (5)

  • Trying It On For Size (Studio 2000) - very good (3+)

  • Czech Point (Studio 2000) - very, very good (4+)

  • Hotel Italia (Lucas Kazan Productions) - excellent! (5)

  • Gambler's Delight (Private Man) - very good (4)

  • Just for Fun (Bel Ami) - excellent! (5)
There are a fair number of straight men who are fascinated or intrigued by gay porn. Many are aroused if they allow themselves to be so; however, many just are not interested at all. And a few (quite a few) actively dislike gay porn (I always suspect homophobia and/or latent homosexuality - or fear of it - as being at the root).

Hi Michael,

I actually had ManWatcher on VHS a long time ago. I lent it out to someone, and then they dropped off the face of the planet, and I never got my tape back.

From what I recall, it was a very good movie, but there was something about it that bothered me. I think it was the fact that I didn't find the main star very attractive. But it's been so long, I may be off my rocker on that one. I do think it was very similar to Hot Times in Little Havana, though, so if you liked that one, I'm sure you'll like Manwatcher.

I pretty much agree with GaySatyr's assesment of all the other movies you asked about (except for the last 2 in the list, which I haven't seen). I noticed that you didn't ask about any Titan flicks... those have really been some of my favorites. I'd recommend Trespass first, I think. At their website they have lengthy previews for all their movies that you can check out. You need to register, but it's free.

Hope that helps.

My favorites of the Titan Media videos are their "lighter" fare: Desert Train (5), Eruption (4+), Heat (5+ - I prefer the general release version, not the director's cut which includes water sports & light S&M), and Island Guardian (5). TM is more famous for its Fallen Angel series, which delve heavily into the S&M and leather scenes.

My two cents...Czech Point is one of my all time favorites!
Commardes in Arms is right up there too!

You pretty much can't go wrong with a Kristen Bjorn title.

Thanks to all three of you who made post to this forum. Instead of Michael I will be Mike C. now (just for confusion sake).

Anyways, so far I have ordered
1. Manwatcher
2. Trying it on for size
3. Just for Fun

I do have another question that maybe you veterans can help out with. I own a few straight orgy/group movies, those are my favorites. I would like to know the best Gay orgy/group movies. I am partial so far to the Bel-Ami ones, they are so intense, just mobs of guys all over the place- WOW! Which ones are the best if you would know?
Also is anyone familiar with Factory Video titles? Are they worth the money? They have a new release called ORGY. If anyone knows anything about this one please let me know please. Will appreciate all responses.

Chi Chi LaRue orgies are considered by many (not necessarily me) to be among the best. I will say, however, that the orgy scene in HOW THE WEST WAS HUNG (directed by LaRue) is the orgy scene against which I measure all others. It is by far the best I've seen and takes up over half the video but doesn't, in my opinion, make up for the the ordinariness of the remaining scenes (as far as making it worth owning).

If you like rougher-looking stuff (and in some scenes rougher sex), check out the Link series from All Worlds or Aftershock 1 and 2 from Mustang Studios.

I have one Factory Video DVD and and rented another and no, neither was worth the money.

From what I've seen thus far, Factory Video is nearly worthless. I've seen 5 of their titles and none has impressed me enough to investigate further. I own none of their material.

How the West Was Hung does indeed contain an excellent orgy scene. It also has one other scene that really floats my boat as well: A dual j/o scene where a straight man is lusting after a sleeping woman in the stage coach in which they are riding and another man is lusting after him - the tension is palpable.

Look at the reviews posted here on ADT. I doubt you'd be disappointed in any that are rated 4.5 or 5 stars and the 3.5 and 4 star titles contain many winners, too - none is bad - it's more a matter that they be to your taste.

Hey GaySatyr can you give me some details on that How The West Was Hung DVD? Like how many people in the orgy scene, and how long the scene lasted. Is it really worth the cash? Would appreciate your comments on it. How about Frisky Summer 4, have you seen it? I heard that was a good one.

Sorry GaySatyr, I meant Anchor Hotel, not How The West Was Hung. I already read your review of that one.

The Anchor Hotel is one of Bjorn's best (his worst are the Australian trilogy and the 2-volume Wet Dreams set but even they are very good). For me, the hottest scene is the second 3-way which begins in a parked BMW convertible and includes Ivan Cseska - one of my all time favorites. The orgy scene is set up as a Voodoo initiation rite, replete with masked muscle gods. If memory serves me correctly, there are eleven participants. The supplicant is literally hoisted from impaling cock to impaling cock. The technique has been copied many times since but this video was its origin.

I have every single Bel Ami title currently available on DVD with the single exception of Cherries which is on its way to me as I post (shipped by Gay DVD Empire, but not yet arrived).

The entire Frisky Summer series is exceptional, especially in its revised DVD presentation (the material has been re-edited, re-ordered, and expanded compared to the videotape originals - I've seen both).
