Fresh Faces and a Nominee for Lamest Pun Ever at Lollipop Twinks

A recent clip at GayLifeNetwork's Lollipop Twinks is cringe-worthily enough called From Anatomy to Anal To Me. As the name suggests the twinks, dressed like boarding school boys, study anatomy first from the textbook but soon enough run away to locate phallus by practical experimentation.

Kayl O'Riley

Kayl O'Riley, who looks like he is about 15, sucks a red lollipop suggestively. He is chased by his friend Blair Mason to a stairwell where the two tumble out of enough clothes for Kayl to give Blair a nice blowjob.


I don't know if boarding schools often have many rooms with double beds, but this one apparently does. The boys get on with it, still wearing knee socks, white shirts ripped open, and loosened school ties. It is Blair's turn to suck dick.


Blair is baby-faced too, and is soon enough kneeling on the bed, being fucked increasingly roughly, panting and grunting. It ends like such things end in porn clips - loads of cum on his belly.


Now the clip in itself is hot enough once you get over the title. The boys a so fresh-faced and young, yet they have nice patches of pubic hair so that you don't feel like an icky pedophile watching them. Blair is a nice smooth bottom. And oh those knee socks and uniforms! So sexy!


But the thing I like most is the promise I see in Kayl O'Riley. There is a hint of decadent airs in this debonair, angel-faced boy, and that combination has enormous erotic potential. What's more, Kayl has the makings of a dominant top: it is he who controls Blair and tells him what to do. Nothing like hearing a little blond boy in knee socks tell you to bend over! I hope that Kayl will continue to develop that trait to the hilt (since we were at the topic of awful puns) and gain even more appropriate body language and confidence. A small, angelic-looking dominant top would be something different and very hot. If Kayl was cast in more boarding school themed clips he could be i.e. styled after a rich spoiled kid who has been born to privilege and all the arrogance and confidence that comes with it...

My Hall of Fame: "Ian Screws Hayden"

There always are some scenes that really leave an impression. That is a highly subjective matter, so I reckon a personal Hall of Fame would be a potentially entertaining and unique thing to blog about. I will succumb to temptation and start the Hall of Fame series with a scene that has one of my very dearest twinks I can hardly resist gushing about in every other blog post: Hayden Chandler.

*giggle, snort* Of course we have done our homework!

This is Hayden's first hardcore video, as it is also for his partner Ian Graves. As per the Boycrush formula, the scene starts with the boys sitting on a double bed and chit-chatting a little. Oh how adorable these 18-year-olds are! They are like two schoolboys about to have a presentation in front of the class: a little bit giggly and nervous, stealing glances at each other, but also enthusiastic to show off. Hayden likes Ian's eyes. Ian likes Hayden's feet and his bear tattoo.



The kissing, the tight and firm bodies and the gentle gradual removal of clothes stirs memories of youth and discovering the mind-blowing power of sex. Hayden looks comfortable and sensual: nothing left of the giggly schoolboy. He is in his element. (And all this gushing may come off as if there is something wrong with Ian. There isn't. He is beautiful in androgynous way, has nice cocksucking lips and performs well especially for a first-timer. It's just that Hayden is my porn love to the extent that almost anyone else pales in comparison.)


I love seeing up-close how Hayden greases his ass and takes aim, then lowers himself on Ian. In this scene the Boycrush low-key approach works very well: the realistic parts are not just glossed over or edited out to create an illusion of easy-flowing, magical copulation. It works a middle-aged person's psyche just the right way: this was what sex was like when I was 18, when I was blown away by its power, when it was real and rough and sweaty and I thought I'd never age and the world was my oyster.



After a bit of riding Hayden bends over (oh that beautiful bubble butt! Oh that arch of his back!) and they really get going. There is nothing more lackluster than a silent bottom. There is nothing more annoying that a noisy bottom who sounds like he's faking. No problem of either with Hayden. This is what passion and loving being fucked sounds like, and if he can fake it, more power to him! He is also one of the most expressive twinks around (also when not fucking) and I could get seriously horny merely by looking at his flushed face and the display of lust and emotions on it.


But the part I love most is when Hayden gets fucked missionary style. Even though this is not a BDSM scene by any stretch of imagination nor is Ian a dominant top, he demonstrates certain tender submission, unconditional surrender that is arousing as hell. He puts a pillow under his butt and lifts his hips to offer a perfect access to his hole. He spreads his legs as wide as he can and reaches back for the bedpost as if his wrists were chained to it. He looks in the eyes of his partner with startling intense gentleness so that one could think he is fucking a boyfriend he is madly in love with. The look says: "I will do everything in my power to make this as perfect for you as it is for me." Seriously, you should have been looked in the eye like that by a lover at least once before you can die happy. And this guy pulls it off in his first hardcore porn scene.


After writing that it feels kind of brutal to mention the close-up of a cum shot right over Hayden's upturned butt and dilated hole - but it IS hot, so sue me.

Wanted: Out of the Box Thinking - Race Matters (with Angel Cruz)

(by Lotta Roti and Angel Cruz) 

Lotta Roti: I'm a 40 years old female heterosexual tomboy woman who loves gay porn and especially twinks. I write my impressions, opinions and observations of porn and the world around it in my blog, Twink Mama's Lounge.
Angel Cruz

Angel Cruz: A 22 year old model/writer/sex symbol, looking for a change in the industry I love so dearly. Chasing the ream with a plan in hand.

Lotta:
DISCLAIMER: Honest, I tried to back up claims I make in this article by doing some actual research. However, it turns out that while there is a plethora of research done about business owner attitudes, customer expectations and conformism and social progress versus market-driven industries all this knowledge is very fragmented all over the internet and buried in the archives of academic journals. No-one seems to have been interested in writing a general compilation or historical account about this issue. A remarkable part of it is also private research and thus a business secret. So instead of conducting a months-consuming academic study I will write based on impressions and gut feelings - and anyone who claims to know better can always challenge what I write.

No-one could say that ethnicities other than caucasian have no place in porn or sexual mythos: they most certainly do. Some of the most popular stereotypes belong to them, and some of the most well-known and paid porn models are black or latino. There are less American asian or arab models that I know of. However, for black models who don't feel like either growing bulging muscles and shaving their heads or styling themselves after ghetto thugs there aren't many work opportunities available. That is because the generic "guy" - the protagonist of a sexual narrative that is not specifically ear-marked as an ethnic fantasy - is, in the mind of a conformist thinker, in reality caucasian. A latino will do if he downplays his ethnicity - they can choose to go with either the fiery latino lover or a dark-haired ordinary guy route - but that black face and features are too different.

Angel:
For many its beginning to seem as if being gay and hot is exclusively a caucasian right. As if the only way that a non-white person ( or one that cannot pass for white ) can only be considered attractive is if he can dominate, take advantage of or be predatory of a caucasian model. It appears that's all we are. We seek out the poor white guy lost in the hood or jackhammer away at little twinks with our bulging muscles and massive cocks while they plead for mercy. This typecasting has caused the entire industry to stagnate. Adult entertainment has always been about the exploration of the sexual psyche. Constantly, pushing the envelope and introducing people to new fetishes and fantasies. However, we as an industry have failed to accomplish this. We got comfortable. We have rested on the industry approved labels and formulas of what works. Nobody is taking risks. Nobody is venturing into the unknown. Black models are thugs or punishers. White models are twinks or jocks. Asians submissive fucktoys. And latinos are the passionate forbidden lover. It's old. It's boring. Where is the desire to explore?

In our personal lives we find that there are many young boyish thin black and latino men that are as sexually appealing as there caucasian counterparts. They invoke the same overwhelming sexual desires (in some cases even more) . In our private lives we do NOT practice the same thing . In our private lives we all strive to experience each other and explore what each other bring to the table, but when the camera is rolling we all seem to forget the things we experienced and hot exciting and hot they were . Why is it we as an industry are now afraid to share our private desires with the fans who pay our salaries, attend our events and buy our films? Where is the push to diversify and include models of all shapes sizes and colors? So many beautiful men are excluded because of the fear of not meeting what we THINK customers want.

Lotta:
Does this have to be so? This is what people want, so this is what the business owners will give them. Right? There are more white people around, so of course the majority of the models are white. Right? Sexual desires are not politically correct. Right?


Angel:
No. It doesn't. That’s the whole deal of it all . A majority of customers are open to diversity. In fact, many of the consumers of porn seek it. Oddly, enough no companies seek to provide that diversity. The consumers or gay porn are looking for something different - a fantasy that they have yet to explore on their own, whether that fantasy is a foray into leather or their first interracial experiment (albeit, we exaggerate on camera a bit). Even in urban companies there are thousands of members and customers who dream of being with a black guy and have lived vicariously through models like Cody Kyler. However, when looking at many other 'mainstream companies or "niches " you don't see this willingness to indulge people who fantasize about being with twinks like Tommy Anders or jocks like Brent Everett. It's hard to imagine yourself as a skinny white boy when you are one too many shades too dark and vice versa.

Porn is not about reflecting the demographics of the community or area. Who gives a fuck about what the population looks like? It's about what makes the population want to jack off. Let's be honest - a hole is a hole and a cock is a cock, but I don't see any reason why a skinny baby faced black guy cant be seen on camera with a muscular hot gruff white leather daddy. Maybe the urban vernacular and slight resistance to being dominated would be a welcomed addition to the Titan library. ( Scene: Samuel Colt in a leather cop outfit walks pass a cell .... looks in cell and sees ... *ahem* me shirtless doing pushups and lingers a bit ... I catch him looking ... "what the fuck you looking at pig?" .. Samuel decides its time to teach me a lesson... ) but , nobody has explored this. There is a market for it though. Untapped and ignored. Completely forgotten about and forced to lurk the rentboy realm to quench their thirst for something different.

Shane Frost
Phat Daddy
Lotta:
Social reality - part of which everything depicted in porn very much is - does not work that way. What people want is not hacked in stone, and what is given to them is not simply a passive reflection of that. Both of these things are fluid, in constant change and influence each other. While people generally tend to mate with those who look like them, this has never stopped them from fantasizing of more exotic people or seeking them out for sex. Sexual desires are hard-wired and biological, but they are also greatly influenced by the culture surrounding us and we create as much as consume it whenever we interact with other people. Surely you don't think that there is a gene that is responsible of making a homosexual male desire, specifically, frat boys in jockstraps?

I think and I hope that business owners are less motivated by conscious racism than by overcautious, conformist thinking, assuming that their customers want nothing but the same old, same old. This kind of stagnation has to do with the concept of loss aversion: an affordable failure seems more frightening than missing a potentially enormous gain. There was a time when everyone "knew" people who wear eyeglasses are not attractive. Then someone came up with the capital idea of designing attractive frames. The cultural stereotypes followed: glasses can make you look attractive in i.e. scholarly, smart or professional way. In 80's everyone "knew" that girls are not interested in computer games. There were a few hardcore tomboy-nerds like me who played nevertheless - but companies were quite happy to lose the money they would have gotten from other girls, had the games been more approachable for them. The first games specifically designed for girls were "proof" of the disinterest hypothesis as they failed: it didn't occur to the business owners to blame the insulting idea that girls would like to put virtual clothes on virtual paper dolls. Nowadays any company that would ignore female players would be insane - all they needed to do was to acknowledge that they exist and pay attention.

Angel:
There are models as well as customers that ask to work with models of different races and different looks. I have heard site owners say everything from "I wouldn't fuck a black guy, so why would I film one" to "black guys are normally so muscular" (one quote is from a company whose roster is littered with my personal conquest, the other from a studio whose casting site is similar to myspace and has plenty of models who are wanting to work with me). So what determines the motives of the studio seems to vary. But, no matter how you look at it these are only excuses and excuses are like assholes ...

Tommy Anders
Bunni
Lotta:
Let's look at the way how a typical porn DVD is marketed. It is sold with a big, established name that is guaranteed to attract attention, and loyal fans buy it for this big name alone. Inside there are 5-6 scenes, where newer models and perhaps some tentative variations to the established routines are introduced. Why not use this formula for introducing more variety to the fantasies and scenarios? What if we had a lean, yuppishly good-looking African American business man in his suite getting served exceptionally well by the room service? A black professor of post-colonial studies obliges a white colonial guilt-ridden student who wants to be punished for the sins of his race, for those who like a bit of humor and irony? A black and white dorm roommate share an Oreo cookie and get an idea? And it's not like the twink, frat and jock romping grounds are race-exclusive any more - why not include cute, boyish black guys in the scenarios?

Ashton Michaels
Leo Luv

Angel:
Consumers are looking for more. They look to us as an industry to help them explore and they will pay for adventure. Studios know the power they wield. Studios know that when they decide to market a model, for whatever reason,. that the site members and customers will always give it a chance. It doesn't take much to sway gay men. Get them hard. Make them cum. They WILL come back. So let's explore. Let's take chances and do something new. Porn is one big family. Let's all make some money.

Sunflowers with Daydreams - Preston Andrews has a blog now!

The lovely gentle-eyed twink Preston Andrews has a tumblr blog now. In his first post Preston says the following:

"some people consider me to be a “hippie” but i like to consider myself a free spirit."

I guess I am one of those responsible, since "hippie kid" is my most common nickname for him - but in my defense, Preston, that very resistance to be labeled in any way is very hippie-like. Preston's laid back attitude, gentleness and, indeed, free spirit made me think of the flower children of late 60's and early 70's as soon as I got to know him a bit online. Even his taste in music, the obligatory Gaga aside, seemed to fit.

Preston is artistic and quite intelligent, and a memorable and versatile performer. He is a nice guy who takes time to chat and connect with his fans.

Friend him at Facebook, and find Sunflowers and Daydreams at tumblr!

The Magic of Dustin Revees

No, it's not from a porn flick.

Anyone who is Facebook friends with one of my favorite twinks, Dustin Revees, knows that he appreciates nature with almost druid-like reverence. He makes road trips and takes beautiful pictures (the example at left is taken by him), clearly fascinated with the natural world around him. I get the feeling that there is something similarly spiritual about the way he approaches sex and his profession - I know of no other twink star with such a profound passion for what he does. For Dustin, it is not about him and his ego, not even getting laid with other hot guys. It is as if he serves a greater good, for sex is divine. Here's what he has to say about it when interviewed at Lollipop Twinks site:

Interviewer: When you are in your scenes is there anything you like to do, like what's your most favorite thing to do during the scenes, sexually?
Dustin: Um... what I think my fans would like, I like pleasing my fans. So even if it's not that enjoyable for me I just want it to be a hot scene, so that's what would turn me on.

When asked what is the most "out there" thing anyone has ever asked him to do Dustin can't really think of anything - and that has more to do with his wide comfort zone and open mind than lack of outlandish requests. Dustin has a natural instinct for the spirit of the scenes he acts in - he understand what particular fantasy element or kink the scene is about without anyone having to spell it out for him. He talks with ease and enthusiasm about different items he likes to stuff up his ass (a topic always guaranteed to earn kudos from me). He is comfortable and sensual to the extent that it feels like he is a bit magical. That this kid is beautiful in a luminous, smooth, androgynous way certainly helps that impression.


Let me illustrate my Dustin love with one new and one old scene.There is also an older review by me that praises this remarkable young man.

GaylifeNetwork's sites have a lot of Dustin stuff, and in this newest film he performs with good friend Vince Faulkner. As I'm writing this the boys are still sharing a long road trip and posting entertaining updates and gorgeous pictures for their Facebook friends to enjoy. While Dustin looks unearthly beautiful, graceful and slim, Vince is more masculine, robust and down-to-earth and has broader frame with more defined musculature. They complement each other beautifully.


The scene, rather lyrically named Sweet Sucking Leads to Them Fucking, starts with Vince doing push-ups (there is something strangely hot about that) and some amusing banter.

Vince: Who says twinks are not mean lean killing machines?
Dustin: Probably bears.
Vince: *phaugh* I eat bears for breakfast.
Dustin: Really? Cause I always thought bears are like the alpha males of the gay community. Either that or lesbians - it totally could be lesbians.
Vince: I could take ten lesbians with one hand tied behind my back.


It says in Vince's bio that he likes to suck cock. It shows. Looks like a perfect combination of gentleness and pressure. He also knows how to make it look good. I would totally love to have a cock so that Vince could suck it.





Dustin lies down and returns the favor: Vince fucks his mouth and I love to watch his butt and thighs moving as he does. Dustin also demonstrates his skills at finger fucking and rimming - and Vince sounds as impressed as the viewer gets!


It is little Dustin who gives Vince a good pounding with great vigor and energy. They fuck bareback, and occasional slurps and slip-outs are not edited out, which only adds to the heat and intensity of the scene. (Don't worry about the bareback, either - to my knowledge they keep themselves tested and informed, after all they are close friends). I love the lazily drawled "bitch" Dustin keeps calling Vince with his voice thick with lust and tenderness. Also check out an older scene by them where Vince gets fucked on all fours by Dustin, who pulls his hair and slaps his ass. To think that I originally pegged this guy as one of those natural bottoms!

A few memorable Dustin scenes at Helix and SpankThis are responsible for that. As an example I will pick one where he gets first spanked and then fucked by Jeff Sterne (a little perk to go with the regular twink spanking routine). This is mind blowing stuff for those of us who have a kink for dominance and submission. Like I wrote in an article about Tommy Anders' spanking scenes, the twinks generally take their punishments pretty obediently. But what Dustin does here is something quite else. He is a young man who desires to be dominated, who craves to be punished and who wants to please with his humility, yielding and soft submission. In other words - a natural submissive, or so I thought. But as Dustin's topping performances demonstrate that is not it - he understands the spirit of sexual imagery and myths at profound level, and can bring it alive in his performance. He doesn't need silly props or toys for that - in this scene nothing like that is needed.

"Look at that nice little ass!"
The spanking itself is extremely hot - Dustin has a beautiful bottom and reacts pretty strongly to the pain - but the most intense moments are when Dustin looks in Sterne's eyes, pleading for approval. "It's what you're needing, isn't it?" Sterne asks softly, and he humbly replies: "Yes, sir."

After being spanked - hard! - by belt and hand Dustin kneels in front of Sterne, who very gently wipes his tears away, complimenting him with "very good, young man." This combination of heavy-handed discipline and great tenderness in hands of the dominant older guy really makes my day.

Dustin is warned to do a good job sucking cock or he will get the belt again - but we know he is a good cocksucker! Sterne is pleased, too, and interrupts him just long enough to bend him over for greasing his hole and a little finger fucking and spanking.

The scene ends with Dustin getting fucked on the sofa, moaning, and jerking himself off at the same time. In the end he flashes that cute Dustin smile at Sterne, and both seem very happy indeed. Seriously, this is one of my favorite porn scenes ever. Other especially hot Dustin ones include a "first spanked as punishment, then roughly fucked" scene with Ryan Jamison, and a hottest rough fucking ever with another good friend, Rad Matthews (this also is a bareback scene).

With his natural eroticism and the passion he demonstrates I believe Dustin can really become a lasting name in porn industry. Only time will tell just how his talent will demonstrate itself in future.

You get to admire Dustin's work by signing as a member to any of GaylifeNetwork's sites and Helix's site.
