Prepare to have your fantasies squashed, gentlemen. Randy Blue's gay-for-pay sex god, Malachi Marx, recently. announced his retirement via Twitter. According to Marx, he's retiring to write a book about his gay-for-pay experiences tentatively titled, Gay-for-Pay: The Revealing Life of a Gay Porn Star and Escort.

First Blake Riley and now Malachi Marx?!! Why God? WHY?!!!! Marx revealed in a recent interview with The Sword that his entire time sodomizing men at Randy Blue he was also taking notes to work on his book. He also mentioned how he started escorting to support his (wait for it) pregnant girlfriend.

Ewww... color us biased, but we'd almost rather he keep some boner-killing details about his girlfriend's belly to himself rather than ruining our fantasies. Even though his final scene will come out in December, Randy Blue has promised some additional surprises to give the stud a proper send-off.

Here's a snippet from The Sword's interview in which Malachi talks about doing gay-for-pay and what gets him really hard:

TS: There are lots of gay-for-pay skeptics out there.

MM: Yeah, the subject receives a lot of attention. Honestly, I was more bi-curious before I got into the industry, but now that I've done porn, I know more than ever that I'm straight. I even tried in my mind to see if I could be attracted to guys. Since I was working I tried hard to see whether I'd be able to enjoy it. But I never found it sexually attractive. So I'm more comfortable in my sexuality than I ever was. I have more respect for the gay community too.

TS: How does one have sex without sexual attraction?

MM: I used the power of my mind. My first scene was a solo scene, and that was hard enough -- to masturbate in front of 6 other guys, just sitting there with all this attention, with flourescent lights, it was difficult enough to get turned on even for a solo. So I had to get over that and learn how to focus. Sometimes I'd use tricks, like straight porn on a TV set or my iPhone, but as I moved forward I learned to get to that place where I would close my eyes for 3 or 4 seconds and instantly get hard.

TS: Closing my eyes and trying really hard would make me go soft.

MM: No, I get hard by focusing all my energy and attention on something that turns me on, whether it's a girl I hooked up, my fiance, a pursuit of mine or money. I mean, I can use money alone. Money turns me on.

We'd be angrier with Malachi for leaving us were he not so fucking hot. The rest of The Sword interview is worth reading in full as well as he details more about the book, being in a hooker orgy, and eating a banana fresh out of a man's ass. We can safely say that there's no way his retirement is going to be as exciting as all that.

Fresh from their hook-up with Corbin Fisher, Bel Ami's now getting in bed with Kyle Major's Cocky Boys—dang, Bel Ami! Did you even bother showering between hook-ups?

You may remember that Bel Ami stud Luke Hamill sucked and fucked Cocky Boy Jesse Santana this last January. That sizzling scene played on both Bel Ami and Cocky Boys and got literal loads of response from international web fans.

So, with dollar signs (and moderate amounts of jism) in his eyes, Jesse Santana jumped on a flight back to Europe (with Bobby Clark and Skyler Caine in tow) for some serious cock-smoking in Amsterdam. But sooprise, sooprise... Bel Ami showed up with Milo and Elijah Peters, Jean-Daniel Chagall, Colin Hewitt, Todd Rosset, Florian Nemec and Kris Evans!

Were Jesse, Bobby, and Skyler ready for such an anal and oral assault? You can see the nonstop fuckfest that ensued on both sites every Friday—in fact, check out Bobby Clark and Colin Hewitt getting it on from last week.

And what's better is that the full-footage of their Amsterdam antics will be available on a "Cocky Friends" DVD in just a few months. Most of our hook-ups haven't culminated in anything. Well... except for a maybe that one thing... but we got that cleared up. No, it certainly wasn't the international fuckfest that these guys will deliver! Their promiscuity's definitely making us think rethink monogamy.

Today, Hot House Entertainment announced that newcomer Craig Reynolds signed with them as an exclusive star. He's 6 foot, 215 pounds, hairy, hung and got an edible ass. Plus, just look at those biceps and calves—RIPPED!

It's no wonder he's so buff. They discovered him in a San Francisco gym. According to the Hot House blog, Reynolds said, "I had been curious about doing porn for awhile. Living in SF you hear different things about the studios and the people who work there. I'd always heard good things about Hot House so when they asked me I decided to check it out."

Hmmm... heard good things about Hot House, eh? That probably means that he's a bonafide fag. Which makes him all the hotter in our books. If you wanna see just how gay he can get, check out some pics we have of him getting frisky with fellow Hot House exclusive Kyle King.

Owner of Cocky Boys, Kyle Majors, has published an open letter coming out in support of mandatory testing and condom use for California-based porn studios.

In light of an HIV outbreak in straight porn studios this summer, the California government's considering regulating the porn industry to ensure it doesn't happen again. Kyle's all for it and writes an articulate, well-reasoned defense of his position:

CockyBoys has been AIM testing almost since we started AND requiring condom usage. We pay for the AIM tests, not the models. And, we are not alone. Many web-based studios have required testing and condom usage for a long time. Bait Bus, Randyblue, NextDoorMale and Suite 703 require AIM testing. Sean Cody and Collegedudes247 require HIV testing...

I am sick and tired of the DVD and bareback guys whining over this issue. This is a situation where the industry should have banded together and self-regulated. There might have been some means of establishing "truly informed consent" that could co-exist with testing. That didn't happen. Now the only state in the Union where producing porn is clearly legal is considering government regulation - it's policing an area where the industry failed to police itself. CockyBoys approached a couple of the pro-condom DVD studios a year or so ago about creating an industry trade association and we were privately told to "not rock the boat" over bareback content. Now the government is stepping in, and frankly, it's about time.

Far from being an absolutist or self-promoting, Kyle acknowledges that condoms and testing can still be insufficient to protect porn models. He also says that even studios that use condoms have an obligation to inform their models about the real HIV-risks involved with acts (like oral cumshots and pissing in one's eyes) and to not spread untrue health information in the interest of quickly shooting a scene.

He also raises two interesting arguments in his letter. First, he equates bareback sex with selling your kidneys for cash:

There are tons of examples where the government protects us from doing something potentially dangerous for money. If you can't sell a kidney or a lung for money, it seems to me you shouldn't be able to engage in unsafe sex for money either.

But there are lots of examples where the government's completely willing to look the other way—the alcohol, sports, and war industries, for example—so that argument doesn't entirely hold water. Next he says that the gay porn industry already has more HIV+ porn stars than it thinks, making testing and condoms absolutely essential to preventing the spread of the virus:

In an insightful piece written for TheSword.com entitled, "Pornstars to Producers: Condoms Not Enough," the author highlights models' genuine concerns over the risks and the general lack of communication by studios regarding potential STD exposures. The article states that 30% of gay adult models are HIV positive. I suspect that number may be higher viewed on a studio-by-studio basis.

We're wondering how far Kyle's willing to go to keep the industry safe. Though he doesn't call for it, would it be best to not use HIV+ models at all? Should HIV+ models only be paired in scenes with other HIV+ men?

During the summer we wrote extensively about barebacking so we won't recount all the arguments and complexities here. We will applaud Kyle for working to keep porn models safe; that's something we can all agree on. We also agree that studios should be responsible for ensuring their models safety and should pay for the testing.

We also acknowledge, however, that bareback porn is a niche market that's not going away. If California decides to start regulating the industry, bareback studios will either relocate or go underground possibly making the practice even more dangerous. Kyle says that if millions of porn dollars are gonna leave California and bareback elsewhere, then maybe the feds should regulate porn nationwide. But that's a bit drastic and unlikely, we think. Obama's not even touching any gay issues, does anyone really think he'd stick his fist into the gaping butt hole that is gay porn?

We realize how high passions run on both sides of this issue. Even if pro-condom studios formed an alliance to support safe sex efforts in porn, it would draw a clear political line between studios and might even re-instate the blackballing of actors who decide to cross that line. Where would studios that do both condom and bareback scenes (like Corbin Fisher and Chaos Men) fall in that continuum? The social stakes are high and so are the profits and loyalties.

"Did Regents Did Regent's Unzipped Media Just Close Porn Rags Men and Freshmen?" That's the question Queerty asked citing a source with knowledge of the company. "Men and Freshmen are no longer," says Queerty, "and about half of Unzipped Media's staff was let go on Friday as the publisher shutters two-thirds of its porn roster."

Queerty conjectures that since porn's all but moved online, it'd make sense for Regent Media to keep Unzipped afloat and cut their two other porn mags loose (especially since Unzipped gets most of the press and the blog action). But Unzipped Media Group Publisher Dustin Tyner told XBIZ that Freshmen and Men aren't going away. Freshmen and Men subscribers will get Unzipped monthly now, Unzipped will up it's page count, and Freshmen and Men will release quarterly special editions (like the content will be folded into Unzipped magazine:

"This isn't a matter of the magazines not doing well," Tyner said. "But if you look at the number of pages we currently put out per month, we're producing more than Vanity Fair. So we are taking a long view of the market and adapting the properties in order to keep these brands alive for many years to come. We're pouring all of our resources into Unzipped magazine and our online premium brands. These properties have the most growth potential in our company."

Unzipped Executive Editor Rick Andreoli said, "We'll be increasing Unzipped magazine's page count and retaining many of the most successful elements of Men and Freshmen in those pages. We're also really focused on producing new media content for Unzipped.net."

According to XBIZ, the final monthly editions of Men and Freshmen will carry a November 2009 cover date. Then, starting in December, all current subscriptions will be redirected into Unzipped. Afterwards, Men and Freshmen will release special editions (like the "fetish"-themed Men magazine currently on newstands.

Both magazine have gay iconic status. Freshmen got founded in 1991 and 2009 marks Men's 25th anniversary.

Porn power couple, Damien Crosse and Francesco D'Macho, have just signed with Raging Stallion Releasing (RSR) to distribute their latest film, Stag Fight. Raging Stallion President Chris Ward said, "I have never seen porn like this before. It's new, it's excellent and it's shocking. This is beautifully filmed, filthy sex that will drive you wild."

Crosse and D'Macho's Madrid-based studio, Stag Homme, had been distributing their work independently from their website until now. But now San Francisco-based RSR provides an opportunity for not only Stag Homme but other smaller producers to get a chance to get at more mainstream distribution. "Studios that release as few as two or three movies each year can participate," Ward said." And by association RSR films also get the Raging Stallion seal of approval, which comes with a money back guarantee. RSR currently distributes Screaming Eagle, High Octane, Twinks.com, and Bang Bang Boys.

AVN gives a sizzling rundown of Stag Fight's action:

Stag Fight comprises six hardcore scenes starring Crosse, D'Macho, Manuel Lopez, Aitor Crash, Alain Lamas, Pedro Andreas and Dennis De Nello. Five of the six scenes feature either D'Macho or Crosse or both of them. The sixth is a solo in which straight-guy Lamas plays with a Fleshjack. Duos and threesomes explore some classic fantasies—sex al fresco, sex with the delivery boy, sex with military men, rape, reluctance, exhibitionism and voyeurism.

Crosse added, "By being Madrid's first gay porn studio, we have been fortunate enough to easily be able to tap into hot undiscovered Mediterranean hombres. Stag Fight is a collection of some of the best scenes from StagHommeStudios.com. It contains scenes with reality sex situations using both [point-of-view] shots and hidden cameras, as well as dark, plot-driven scenes which tap into violence and aggression. This is a dirty flick that contains double penetration, oral cumshots and tons of spit and facials."

MOC blog made a shrewd observation that, "This is a wonderful opportunity for independent producers of gay, male erotica to take advantage of an established distribution system, one that has few rivals actually. I would encourage studios that specialize in ethnic flare to submit their applications. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain."

We agree! It'd be great to see small amateur studios step up their game and help introduce their very hot men through RSR to finally give their boys the recognition and audience they deserve.

If you've been reading QC long enough you know how aggravated some of readers get whenever vagina, Jake Cruise, Cody Cummings, barebacking, or gay-for-pay comes up. Well, those readers are gonna have an aneurism when they read this. In celebration of their 4th anniversary, Jake Cruise Media featured hung uncut hairy top daddy, Arpad Miklos, in his first "straight-for-pay" scene.

What's "straight-for-pay" you ask? Well, it's kinda like what Cody Cummings and Pat Bateman do; but instead of paying a self-proclaimed "straight" guy to fool around with guys, you pay a self-proclaimed "gay" guy to fool around with girls. Arpad's scene with blond starlet Holly Heart is currently up at Straight Guys For Gay Eyes. XBIZ has more about the business details, but Arpad's switch brings up some very interesting issues:

1) "Straight-for-pay" is gonna be the next big thing in bi porn - Bisexuals exist and even gay guys will enjoy seeing their favorite stars in action (chick or no). SG4GE.com already films straight scenes with a gay audience in mind, so the lure (ie. $$$ and buzz) will surely snag other big name stars.

2) The "gay-for-pay" label's gonna start meaning even less - After blowing a load on Holly's back, Arpad reminds fans that he's still gay. After Cody Cummings blows a load from a "brojob" he reminds fans that he's still straight. Maybe Gore Vidal was right when he said, "There are no homosexual people, only homosexual acts." QC could give two farts about labels, so maybe when everyone just starts fucking whoever they want whenever they want, we can all move past the idea of labels, "gay" or "straight" entirely. Wouldn't that be nice?

3) Idealism aside, fans are still gonna be pissed - OK, OK, OK... so Arpad also didn't wear a condom for his "straight" scene, which he always does for dudes. Barebacking's par for the course when it comes to Jake Cruise, so it's not a HUGE surprise that Arpad didn't. But that on top of having straight sex will surely disgust some of Arpad's biggest fans. Lots of porn stars will have to decide whether or not to go the "straight-for-pay" route, knowing that they risk blowing their gay rep and disappointing fans if they let a chick blow them first.

We'll let you have a field day in the QComments. As for us, we simply say, if you don't like it, don't watch it.

Attention all man-lovers! 41-year-old Men Magazine model, David Anthony just signed with a multi-year exclusive contract with Titan Media and will debut in the upcoming feature Eye Contact and eventually star as a "fetish top" in the third installment of Titan's Rough fetish line titled Bound and Beaten. Vincent Lambert has more:

Titan director Brian Mills said, "Working with David is a lot of fun, because he's such a nice and intelligent man. He has the kind of confidence that only a mature man can have. He's also a complete exhibitionist and pig. This guy walks around nude all the time. It's distracting! This guy is going to be very popular!"

We'll say. Though we've only featured David Anthony once before we certainly hadn't forgot about him. and though we're looking forward to seeing him top, we think it'd be a shame if he never bottomed. It is a multi-year contract, so fingers crossed...

Hey there, kiddies. It's been a while since we've run a porn gossip round-up. There's so much to catch up on that instead of cramming it all into one massive and unreadable post, we've decided to break it up into parts. Part One has got all sorts of goodies including a porn body comeback, two newcummers, porn star entrepreneurs and The Sisterhood of Perpetual Indulgence. Wanna know what's going on? Read and see...

Randy Blue has picked up 18-year-old newcummer, Dawson Riley. We're awaiting his proper porn premiere as scouring the web resulted in absolutely zero cock or decent ass pics. In the meanwhile,
walk (do not run) to this mystery man's underwhelming personal website where you'll find one shot of his torso and the above video of him washing his truck—err... didn't Reese Rideout already do that video?

But while we're on the subject of newcummers, Lucas Entertainment just signed a five-year exclusive contract with Matan Shalev, an ex-Israeli military policeman and karate brown belt who has two scenes in Lucas' newest venture Men of Israel. Lucas says "he's completely versatile. Everything: his sculpted body, beautiful face, big dick and bubble butt are all five stars." Would those be five Stars of David? Well, shalom and motzel tov, Shalev! We and Kosher Kitty approve.

One last thing about the globe-trotting porn mogul. Lucas apparently set up shop in Paris as a way to capitalize on his Eurocentric tendencies. "I go to Paris at least twice a year," he told XBIZ. "I love French culture, French food, and I do love, love, love French men. They have absolutely no limits in bed." Err... business as usual, Mr. Lucas? Actually, he plans on using the city as a way to import new actors and distribute to a European market. Love him or hate him, Lucas has got style and it's a smart business move.
