Sean Cody to Produce More Action Scenes Per Year, More Location Shoots, Fewer Solos

I noted the other day the seemingly alarming news that Sean Cody had taken a break from recruiting new models. But it looks like it’s part of an overall strategy to produce fewer solos, and that might be good news for some fans — although it’s not great news for the cause of finding new hot faces.

GayDailyHot finally got some clarification from the Mindgeek/Sean Cody team, who say that in cutting down their release schedule to three scenes a week (instead of scenes every two days), they’re moving away from the practice of alternating solos and action scenes. So, instead of producing 182 scenes a year, half of which were solos, they’ll be producing 156 scenes a year, with only 52 solos — one third of their total output. That means there will be a guarantee of two action scenes per week, which should placate fans who were crying foul over the new schedule.

But, you figure, out of the 91 solos Sean Cody was customarily producing every year, say 25 percent of those guys never came back to fuck or be fucked. And another 60 percent of them just weren’t that hot. That left approximately 14-15 guys who would go on to do more work for the site and potentially become “stars.” By cutting that potential down, if you figure the same percentages, that leaves us possibly with only 7 or 8 guys out of the 52 who’ll go on to become reliably hot members of the stable like a Tanner, Brandon, or (ahem) Jarek.

Mindgeek rep Brad Picken tells The Sword, regarding the Sean Cody decision, “We will be focusing on finding higher quality talent with the hopes of establishing long-term relationships and bringing back fan favorites, as well as having location shoots every couple months (potentially more if they do well).”

So that means more gangbang weekends and trips out of town with the boys, which are sometimes fun.

And this means that the release schedule going forward will be Monday, Thursday, and Saturday at midnight or early a.m. East Coast time (or Sunday night, Wednesday night, and Friday night on the West Coast). And Monday will probably be the day for the solo, but the schedule’s been all over the place lately, and this week’s solo — Asian/Pacific Islander-looking Paul, who you can see below — came out today, Tuesday.

  1. I cancelled my subscription a few days ago. Today’s new video is Curtis in his 6,397th scene.

    I’ll subscribe again when they get their act together. If they ever do.

  2. I liked the “bringing back fan favorites” line. I have a short wishlist: Stu, Jamie, Jess, Joshua, Jonah, Trey, Calvin, Marshall, Pierce, Abe, Grayson, Jack, Peter, Patrick, Doug, Fuller, Dane, Keith, Trey, Dennis, Charlie, Coleman, Duke, Spencer, Noel, Daniel, Jake and Brody in no particular order, except for Stu. He is definitely #1.

  3. I liked the solos for the fresh-faced exhibitionism. They’re also less prone to feeling choreographed, as there’s less to fake when you’re just jacking. A lot of SC’s hottest guys only come in for one solo. Even if they balk because they’re straight, I don’t see how that’s an affront to the gay community. For me, a solo might feel like an expression of myself, but having to do a scene with a girl would not. I’m also not sure I could convincingly fake enjoying a heterosexual scene. Could you?

    So I’m glad this week’s Paul actually turned out to be super hot. But if the site’s fresh faces start to dip into the sub 50th percentile of models, I’m cancelling.

  4. This is better news. I hope they focus on quality sex with hot guys and stop all this gay for pay nonsense, Its always been so contrived and Straight guy doing a dude for the first time scenarios….. We are over that .. so Lets have some hot guys who want to have sex with men…I will be slated for some for saying this this but its a free Country and I’m sure i speak for a few people… So to these these guys who make such an issue about being so called straight and acting like they are doing the gay community some sort of favour by appearing in Gay porn…..Go make straight porn where you probably belong. Im sick of paying for your bad ink work and your Roid cycles.

    1. They go where they can get the bodies. SC doesn’t give a shit where they get their “talent” as long as they can get it. If it’s GFP so be it. For much of the time it’s GFP for SC. I really do not think the viewing audience gives two shits how they identify themselves. The bodies look the same whether they are card carrying homersectionals or playing wannabes. And besides you can’t really think any guy who sticks his dick in another guy is 100% straight. Yeah, really.

  5. My day has been made! seancody has always been my favorite site and I’ve been a loyal member for years, and when it appeared that they were only having 1 duo video a week I got really angry. I couldn’t care less about solo videos. It’s just that simple. As long as seancody keeps producing essentially 2 duo videos a week I am so so so so happy!

  6. Let’s just face it that this new relationship with Mindgeek is eventually going to be the end of seancody.com.

  7. Actually no I don’t think this will affect the amount of new talent drastically. I think one of the reasons why they want to cut back the amount of solos at the site is because they probably want to focus on mostly featuring solo videos from models who are interested in doing more than just a solo. They may not actually be taking a complete break from recruitment, but they’re probably changing the way they do it beyond taking online applications. It’s clear they’re mostly receiving applications from guys who won’t go past doing a solo video, and they’re probably tired of going through them. They’re gonna have to consider doing more personal recruitment if they want to bring guys in that are willing to do more than just a measly solo video.
