Reading GayPornBlog’s piece on the death of the DVD box cover (and the death of DVDs in general) and the rise of internet porn got me thinking (uh oh) about where, specifically, people are watching all that online porn.
It also got me thinking: Which studios are the least popular? Which studio does absolutely no one care about? I have my suspicions, but I need you to help confirm them.
Assuming you bought a typical 30-day membership to a studio in 2013 and didn’t spend the whole year watching tube sites, which studio did you join? (If you didn’t spend any money on porn in 2013, please answer with the studio you would most likely join if you had the money.)
If you joined more than one studio in 2013, you can select more than one from the below list. And if your studio(s) isn’t among the major ones included in the poll, please let me know what it was in the comments.
Exactly.
What happened to Lucas Entertainment? Is no one watching that site anyone? Poor Michael, is this why he has to steal workers/performers from Cockyboys.
I like :
1.Jake Cruise
2.Randy Blue
3.Bel Ami
4.Sean Cody
5.Falcon
6.Kristen Bjorn
7.SCM
8.Fratpad
Lol cocky boys and helix is too percentage from eachother and yeah I subscribed to both x.x but I did it for kyle Ross, max carter, and tommy anders, and Asher thank you very much lol
what are you talking about?
I also joined Ray Dragon’s site for 30 days in 2013 because I wanted to see Andrew Justice get fucked by Jake Steel (I tend to join sites only if there is a particular guy I want to see, e.g., last year I joined MenOver30 to see Ricky Sinz get fucked by Doug Jeffries, again only for 30 days, although there is a lot of content on that site).
The Dragon site had enough content to keep me, uh, entertained for the 30 days, but not enough new content to warrant re-upping, which, honestly, was a long-shot anyway. Also some streaming probs, and Joe Gage’s movies on the site, for me, are hit or miss; they are frequently plodding and tedious, and they do this incredibly annoying thing where they reloop cum shots five or six times.
I marked Kink above. I joined Bound in Public for a month in 2013; it’s not a particular fetish, but, again, if there’s a guy I want to see, it can be hot. I think it was Cole Brooks this time (although in the past I bought two individual scenes, one with Brenn Wyson and one with Tyler Alexander. (OMG, Tyler Alexander!) There are frequent updates, but the “crew” are the same faces all the time, and, to me, mostly not attractive ones. I downloaded a small handful of scenes.
I 2012 I also joined BarebackThatHole for a month. I know, I know…again, it was to see…Colin Steele, I think? A teeny tiny number of guys worth watching on that site; most of the guys are homely and scary- and unwell-looking; plus, the videography is astonishingly shitty.
I joined Diesel Washington’s YouTube channel. I was told I needed some new anger management techniques. :-)
I’ve joined Cockyboys, best decision ever. Roadstrip and A Thing of Beauty blew my mind! Besides, I love the variety, from Jake Bass to Colby Keller, just perfect!
I love White men PERIOD..But I have seen this particular video of 2 black guys I think in BREED ME RAW gosh they were so passionate specially the top he really caresess his partner. SO HOT.
I like how The Sword is “on a crusade” to eradicate racism from gay porn but doesn’t include any POC sites on its list.
I joined Bilatinmen and Blackboyaddictionz in 2013, because I was fed up with the sea of white.
I agree. Last year I did join blackbreeders and dawgpoundusa. I’ll go back to blackbreeders again because I like their content but dawgpoundusa’s content was hit and miss and their navigation is a joke. Still, both were better than Men.com who doesn’t know how to shoot, edit or stage their scenes and waste a great roster of talent.
that’s exactly what i thought.
I wud love a BBA password :) I wanna check them out. sigh
Zach, I have a question. There was recently a post on the stall wall about a gay musician with lyrics about flexing his muscle, but the post is gone now. It doesn’t show up anymore under recent. What was the artist name and song title again?
Sean Cody is way too generic for my taste. Every guy looks, sounds, acts the same. Blah.
I like the models on Sean Cody lately, because the models are more hairier…and that’s what I like!
I didn’t see any on this list that I’m interested in. Maybe guys in sweat pants, but they haven’t been going long enough for me to decide. I want to see real passion(you know the kissing, making love kind) along with real gay sex, not the see who can yell the loudest and ridiculous almost impossible sexual gymnastic positions.
I’m so over the two guys in a bed, on a couch or rug with the obligatory pre scene interview that almost always includes some kind of comment about a “GF”, or that this is their first time with a guy, etc. The ridiculous number of 3 to 7 second shots between camera angle changes that simply make me dizzy. Wondering if they had to quickly run and watch some pussy porn to get hard again, then shove it in for a few more seconds. Repeating this process ad naseum.
But I’m obviously in the minority when you see the studios that have the most votes.
I ended up choosing Colt, but only because it brought back some fond memories of a pawnshop/book and video store with an over 21 room. In the very small town where I lived it was the only place to find porn. There were honcho, blueboy, mandate magazines and vhs tapes. My eyes mostly drawn to the covers of Colt videos. It was owned and operated by an elderly jewish lady, who whispered to me when I nervously made my first purchase of a blueboy magazine. “Don’t worry honey, I sell this kind of stuff to lot’s of men.” She never asked for ID, I wonder if she knew I still had a few years before I was 21?
Anyway, that’s who got my vote. Colt Studios. I just might give them a test drive and see if they have what I want.
That is SO SWEET! I love her.
Keep in mind that a lot of times, guys’ wood problems can be blamed on the production process itself. I’ve seen some of these guys in bi scenes with a naked chick right there with them and they still go limp. Sometimes I think studios “overproduce” their episodes and that if they’d sometimes just turn their guys loose on each other (especially those who are more experienced and more comfortable) they’d have fewer wood problems.
The erection problem in porn is due to the fact that these guys are filming for hours at a time, under hot lights and with multiple spectators shouting directions at you. Oh and there’s the fact that you’re having sex with someone you may not necessarily be attracted to. Now, the lower end studios probably resolve this by pumping guys full of viagra (and other illicit drugs). But studios like SeanCody would not resort to that. Quite frankly, I’m amazed some of these men stay as hard as they do. People who think that doing porn is just having sex on camera, are wrong. It really takes a lof of performance ability.
I’m off and on with Corbin Fisher (Corbin Select) and Chaos Men, but lately with William Higgins. It’s been years without Sean Cody, but noticed some very hot models lately. Though Cockyboys has improved their web site, I don’t care for the latest tattoo twinks. I liked Randy Blue during the early years, but haven’t been a member in years.
I sometimes might wait for discounts, because membership can be very expensive. I might re-join Sean Cody, because the new models (like Brandon) are scorching hot!
I have an on-going subscription with Titan. They cater well to my particular taste; muscled, defined guys. Hairy, smooth, in speedos, leather, rubber and my personal favourite American cop uniform. They also seem to have more actual gay men working for them than g4ps.
With the option now to down load and keep, aswell as view online they seem pretty good value.
The other prescription is with Naked Sword. They have a pretty good range from Falcon, Raging Stallion, Colt, Kink, Bel ami you name it. Although I’d like to see them listing a few more HD titles.
The only other one I’d consider (if I could afford it) would be Hot House or possibly Men.com.
I used to subscribe to CF but the cost was too much for the content. I do still purchase videos on CF Select. I’d rather pay for my favorite videos one at a time versus a full membership
Why wasn’t my comment published in which I said that a lot of bb sites are missing from the list, such as Machofucker for example? Mmh… I am a daily visitor to this site but I don’t like censorship, so I have to see if I’ll keep visiting or not!
We will not miss you on this site, Andy. You can go on QMN with the other Marc Dylan fans. LOL
But I will surely miss your stupid comments. Because before I read what you wrote on this site I never knew that an adult person could be so uneducated, stupid, racist and ignorant. Poor you – you must be loved by your friends and family.
Chaosmen and Sean Cody were the sites I joined in 2013. I’ve been impressed with their content and the models they’ve chosen. Prior to that it was Corbin Fisher. I left CF because there was an increasing sense of repetition in the performers they use. Don’t get me wrong, the boys of CF are hot but they all kind of look too much alike. There needs to be more diversity of that site.
I have to agree with you there. But I believe they are just responding to customer tastes. And I get the impression that CF fans (as well as Bel Ami) prefer blandness and homogeny…
I understand people have a certain ideal of beauty, but there’s something rather dull about 30 guys all with perfectly symmetrical faces and nondescript muscular bodies, where if you covered their heads, you could not tell whose body is who. If that sells, more power to them, I guess. I like CF ok, but I have a tough time picking out any stand-out performers because many of them look-alike and perform alike. The only notable exception is Aiden.
Chaosmen somehow managed to adopt a similar business model, but their guys are more distinct-looking, and have a ‘no one is perfect’ quality which I like.
Three things about this survey are interesting: the bigger, older studios like Hot House, Titan, and Raging Stallion have so few subscribers; the newer studios are the most popular; the two leading studios, Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher, are bareback.
None. But I was considering joining Channel One Releasing for a month to catch up on their old Catalina movies.
I have been a member of the three major internet porn sites off and on for the last couple of years. To me, Sean Cody is the only one that is worth the value of membership; incredibly handsome men in passionate sex scenes. You can’t ask for more than that. Corbin Fisher is also very good, but their membership price is overblown and I have had to cancel recently due to the price. I solely joined Randy Blue due to their $9.95 a month offer, but I can see that they’ve gone downhill since their Chris Rockway/Reese Rideout days. The only other studio I joined this past year was Tim Tales because of the hot men and raunchy sex scenes (I’d compare it to Machofucker). Looking ahead, Sean Cody is the only one I’ll probably maintain and continue as a member…
Some of you didnt care for their situation. So sad. KARMA!
Rentboy. I like porn stars that I can actually have sex with.
oh dear.
wear a condom!
I have been with Sean Cody ever since they first started until now. The rest like CF,Timtales,Cazzo,Belami – are either one off or trial or until my subscriptions expire and don’t bother thereafter. I refuse to watch any studios directed by women or lesbians – so that’s no-no for the likes of Cockyboys, Nakedsword etc – women’s POV of man-to-man sex is just rubbish. The worst must be any scenes directed by Mr.Pam.
And I am also paying for TIM as their directors Liam Cole,Max Sohl and of course Paul Morris are the best in the industry. No one can do man-to-man sex like they do. I don’t give 2 fucks whether they hire only HIV+ actors or if they look skanky,drugged,methed, or if they bareback. I pay to watch the sex. Condom nazis grandstandings do not factor into what I pay to watch.
ummm cockyboys is directed by Jake jaxcson, a man. A gay man actually.
I also like this house RANDY BLOW why isnt included?
Lmao! MR. BLUE does love his white powda.
Hahaha I wasnt kidding there are this porn house RANDY BLOW I’ve seen on google. :-)
I’ll go for Cocky Boys it produces films that has lots of kissing that what was any gay movie should be. I used to love Sean Cody actually it is doing the same theme. But after I read the blog of its former gay actor I found out 95% are gay4pay. So bye to SC.
Seriously, do we really care who these performers are fucking on their own time? This gay4pay hatred has gotten ridiculous. It’s like saying you won’t buy a car from a Jew, because you’re Catholic. If he sells you a great car, then what do you care? And besides, a lotta of the real life gay performers give LOUSY performances (which begs the question, if they suck dick in real life, then why aren’t they better at it on camera than the straight men?)Ya can’t hate on the gay4payers when many of them clearly PERFORM better!
I hate to admit but yeah Sean Cody has the hottest guys in gay porn and its make a very romantic love making between these men. But, when they’re doing it these men thinking about women not they partners so it’s kinda disappointing.. But the scene with Brandon and Pavel has blown me away. Sad they are married to women I think.
Hmm, not sure about that. You can totally tell Gay4Pay performers do not perform better. A lot of these guys have sex with women as well, and when you see both scenes and compare them, the result….. the gay scene is much much worse, the film editing (cuts) in one scene is like 100 times. I dont know, for some reason it does affect the viewers. Porn is a fantasy, but once you know that the performer does not really enjoy the sex, it kinda affects your fantasy, kills your boner. It does affect me to some extend.
Yep, agree with that. I want to see guys who WANT to fuck other guys having sex, and you can tell in the energy.
This particular instance is just one of probably dozens of G4Pers saying it, but a few years ago, Wolf Hudson said in an interview that he’d never, not one time, enjoyed having gay sex on camera. Pictures of Pat Bateman with a titty mag on the back of some dude he’s trying to fuck? Why the hell would I want to watch guys who’re acting like they’re working in an anvil factory?
I was an avid DVD collector for a while, but with the rise of tube sites I must admit that I haven’t paid for a dirty movie in years.
The only porn subscriptions I still take out are with photo sites that do these looong shoots (+/- 200 pics) of cute boys stripping and wanking. 19nitten, anyone?
On most of the sites, one months membership and you usually see their entire stable of men at least 4x. CF newest models have become more skanky. Maybe that’s the cost of going bb.
Totally agree. My CF membership runs out in a couple of weeks, and after nearly four years I will be cancelling. Best talent has left and all the new guys are skanky, scrawny, and just plain ho-hum. Only muscle guy left has your namesake, and I’ll bet they’ll retire him soon.
I recently joined Mormonboyz.com
Ugh, I love Elder Miltmore.
He’s also “Colby” on Dream Boy Bondage
I have a sxvideos membership. I KNOW: I’m a hypocrite, because I harp about condomless porn. But actually I ended up at the site from pornblog articles about certain performers at SX Video. I was totally turned on by Juan Steele (WHO THE FUCK WASN’T!?!)and needed to join. I like Rick Romo. I like Gabriel D’Allesandro(Dirty whore.) I like If they had all of them use condoms, I still would have joined for the discounted year long membership. :D
I’d prefer Randy blue last year because their business practices are more ethical, and they hire actual gay men. Major points. However, I cancelled membership because the rate was an expense I couldn’t afford. I’m in the shithouse financially right now. If they had a onetime year fee, I’d be inclined to buy. But they do not. I’ve had memberships on and off for years with them. Randy Blue was the very first porn site I joined, ever. This was before Rockway. He had some italian porn performer, and two other suffer guys I’d seen around the web doing gay porn. They were hot.
I joined Titanmen last year because they had a deal, but I had hardly used it. The site was poorly created and content was outdated. None of the new stuff appeared on the site. So, it was a wasteful membership.
I joined BearFilms, because I get bored with the jock/fratboy style over played in porn. I like my men masculine, brawny-man style. Ricky Larkin or Steve Cruz hairyness for me please. Give me that over any abercrombie model.
I have a variety of tastes in men. Races and Ages too.
I also have an Older4Me.com membership…I like some of the guys on the site. There is one guy on there with huge tool, but he looks like Grandpa Munster-It is funny. It was worth buying for that alone. Initially, I joined because I think one of the younger models is hot. He doesn’t do porn anymore. His name is Charles Rod, he had a brief stint at smaller amateur studios. I have a thing for South Asain men too. Go figure.
I sometimes visit other sites, but don’t have memberships for: http://www.hotoldermale.com; http://www.satyrfilms.com (they are totally out of their minds over there. it is like Ripley’s Believe It or Not porn. Rock Bottom is a freak, and I suspect one of the owners of the site. Big tool too. Rams baseball bats in has ass. It is funny.)
Wow, I’m a porn addict. But whatever. Everyone has their vice-mine is timid compared to everyone else.
And I thought I was bad lol. Your porn budget should not be bigger than your food budget :-)
The yearly access I bought, wasn’t as high. They were discounted rates. The industry was offering at lower prices.
Plus, this isn’t all at ONCE- some were from prior years.
>>I joined Titanmen last year because they had a deal, but I had hardly used it. The site was poorly created…
Absolutely. I actually think that site is designed poorly to keep subscribers from watching too much of the content.
I feel like Titan is under tight bugetary needs. They can’t hire some real programming talent or design talent. They have to redistribute it towards production side, naturally.
I think some of the newer videos don’t appear on the site until they run out of the option of selling at a higher markup. They just rehash older vids and clips. Some of them were good.
It seems that, in porn, you either get pretty boys or great sex, but rarely both. I just watched CF’s Brayden suck off big-dicked newcomer William. I was so excited. Until I watched it. Brayden BARELY put his mouth on that pipe. It was unwatchable. Give me TIM anyday. The guys are homely, the sets look gross, the camera work is amateurish. but God, those men know how to get me off. Ever see them waste a good load? Never.
I basically just watch CF for the pretty men. SC and Chaosmen also have pretty men, but they really upped their game in the fuck dept.
Sometimes I look at TIM porn and feel just by looking at those men, I’d get AIDS. They look so bad. Like backalley way crackden sex. Not hot for me. Usually, wink.
I don’t know why people constantly need to point this out. It is like every bb fan would post a comment saying “Ah, all the condoms are such a huge turn off” and post it everywhere all the time… hey, wait maybe I’ll just start doing that. Let’s see how annoying this is for other people.
I hate to say I agree. As far as intensity goes, TIM beats every studio, and it’s not close.
…and I HATE admitting that!
Cockyboys always! Gorgeous gay guys having REAL sex WITH condoms. I’d pay twice what I’m paying now!
The only site I’ve subscribed to is CockyBoys. Although the guys aren’t always to my taste (I’m not crazy about bitchy twinks), production values matter. Often a beautifully shot scene will turn me on even though the performer(s) aren’t really my type.
lmao, im not crazy about bitchy twinks either
Clearly you don’t know COCKyboys. The front page their (NTM- A Thing of Beauty) features some of the hottest men in porn. Colby Keller, Dale Cooper, Ricky Roman, Gaberial Clark Ty Roderick, Tony Malian, Zack and Asher. Not what I would describe as bitchy twinks.
He is obviously talking about Max Ryder. Bitchy twink pretty much defines him.
and Jake “Douchebag” Bass…don’t forget Jake “douchebag” Bass
None..let me repeat…none of those guys are even close to or in orbit of the “hottest men in porn”. You must be kidding me cuz you either work for COCKYboys or are just plain kidding yourself.
The only other site I’ve joined that wasn’t on the list is Blacksonboys.com. It appeals to the Mid-westerner in me.
Machofucker for a month to get all my favorites. I’d honestly would join Sean Cody, but too much of it is around the webs for free.
Oh, and NEVER Men.Com! Honest to God Men.Com is why I’m always thanking the web gods for tube sites. It’s horribly acted, plus the men are all straight and don’t know how to have sex with each other. Finding a good Men.Com porn is like trying to find the least diseased hooker in Bangkok.
Canceled my Randy Blue subscription cause the content isn’t even worth $9.95 a month; Whats that saying?
I had one way back when. Yeah, not interested anymore.
Sheesh, Sean Cody is so popular…and I don’t get it, even though I do.
The Morgan/Jessie scene with the double ended dildo is well worth the price of admission.
I only rejoined SeanCody because they took the condoms off. I’m not a TIM member but I have purchased a few of their movies. Sexy or not, those guys know how to fuck well. Helix Studios? I’ll pass. I’m not a closet pedophile.
I had a Seancody membership before it was bareback, and I just fell in love with the guys.
Funny, I joined Sean Cody WHEN they started to have more bareback scenes. However, there is too much moaning and the scenes are still a bit too vanilla for me b/c the both actors always have such good chemistry. It’s like they are a real-life couple which is a huge turn off for me. I’d rather have an aggressive top and a bottom who has to endure the fucking.
Nakedsword is the only pay membership I have right now ( I KNOW, I sound like a shill) and that’s where I get my skanky nasty filthy hot TIM fix.
None, there are too many places to catch these studios for free on the internet and some better scenes on xtube…
I agree, TrueWords. I can see free porn online on Xvideos.
Yup. All you have to do is google the performers’ names with “gay porn” and “watch” and in most cases you are good to go. If you use torrents or ftp’s then you are really set for life. Porn is free; if you pay for it you are just bored and want the convenience. Very popular scenes (like Topher n Paddy) usually get uploaded to tube sites the same day they are released. I’d rather spend my money on quality hookers (an oxymoron if there ever was one, and definitely a joke).
Yeap, I recently seen Paddy pounding Jessy Ares ass on Pornhub. Jessy Ares makes an excellent bottom and I love the sounds he make while getting fucked.
It’s not “free”. When you steal, you’re just forcing other people to pay for it. Just as when someone shoplifts or robs a store it’s not “free” money or products.
The fact that other dishonest people make your thievery easy doesn’t make you any less of a thief. You’re costing the rest of us money and reducing the quality of porn in general.
It’s fine if you don’t want to pay for porn or can’t afford it. But not wanting to pay for things is no justification for stealing. Just don’t watch porn if you can’t pay for it.
Quite an insipid point considering that millions of more people watch it for free than pay for it. Obviously you’re someone who profits from it, and obviously again, that’s your bad.
You raise three points that illustrate a flailing justification for a dishonest act.
1, I am aware of what my site name is and what it means. Unlike you I also am aware that it is a joke.
2. I do not know if more people steal porn than buy it. But if true so what? At one time most people thought homosexuality was an abomination. There is not necessarily morality in numbers. Whether few people steal or many steal, it’s still stealing. Argumantum ad populum is considered fallacious for a reason.
3. Truth be told in the past year i actually HAVE started making money off porn. However for nearly two decades i was a porn consumer and my opinion of folks like you was the exact same as it is now. Why? Because i recognize that porn is in fact NOT free. That the studios have to pay for the models, the sets, the people who produce and edit the films etc. etc. That when you steal you’re forcing the rest of us to either pay more for the sites or to accept worse quality.
But even if it were the case that I was a big-time porn producer (actually i just write for them), so what? Is a store owner not entitled to have opinion about shop-lifters? Is a victim not entitled to have an opinion about a mugger? Nonsense, if you are stealing products from my shelf or money from my pocket and then announcing publicly that you got this money or product “for free” i have every right as the victim of your thievery to say “Fuck you, it’s not ‘free’. I worked hard for it!” The same is true for porn producers when you steal their product from their sites. They have every right to have an opinion and to voice it. In fact they have more rights since it their product you’re directly taking.
But no amount of wiggling and squirming and justifications that you make will change the fact that you’re a thief, Euripides. And your coming on this site and proclaiming that those of us who are honest are some kind of suckers makes you a particularly contemptible thief.
Sophistry.
i actually didn’t bought it on 2013 but last year and still have my cockyboys membership. They always bring me exactly want i want in my porn so i found it money well spend :).
I agree with you. Cockyboys is a good porn producer. Lot’s of kissing and romance between their actors.
