Did Sean Cody Tell Their Openly Gay Model To Act “Less Gay”? He Says Yes, Sean Cody Says No.

You’ve probably seen Sean Cody’s Ryan (aka Devon) around QC before. He’s been in a jerk-off scene and a fuck scene with Fuller. But you may have missed his personal blog entry in which he accuses Sean Cody of homophobia saying that they repeatedly asked him to tone down his gayness.
Here’s some highlights from Ryan’s blog post:

I then spoke on the phone with my recruiter at Sean Cody. He gave me tips and expectations concerning my appearance, and then asked me questions about myself, so as to create my “character.” He wanted me to be bisexual; however, “I have been out since I was 15, and I have been dancing in gay clubs since 1998. No one is going to buy that. I am gay. Period.” Okay, well, they could work with that. At that time I thought I was going to remain in the thirty-something closet (since I was still, at that time, dancing under the declared age of 24). Then the recruiter asked me about my career, and we had this conversation (or something to this effect):

“What do you do?”

“I’m a professional dancer and choreographer, and I am also a career exotic dancer.”

“Oh, wow. You can’t say that. Sean wouldn’t like that. Don’t tell anyone here that.”

“Why?”

“It’s too gay.”

“Oh. Well, I write for a gay newspaper, and I have taught writing at the college level. I’m an educator, and I’ve studied languages. I guess it wouldn’t be a lie to say I’m a linguist.”

“Okay, perfect. We’ll use that. What sports do you do?”

“I don’t. I’m a dancer.”

“Well, make something up.”

“I don’t want to do that. I was a gymnast before I was a dancer.”

“Perfect. You’re a linguist and gymnast. Don’t bring up the other stuff.”

“Okay. So, you guys don’t like gay guys then?”

“No! No, it’s not that. It’s just that straight guys sell better.”

“Oh. Okay.”

According to him, Sean Cody also asked him to lower his voice to make it sound more butch:

“Okay, don’t talk with your hands; don’t use any big words; and keep your voice kinda deep.”

“So, you want me to speak as I am right now?”

“YES! The way you just said ‘right now’ was totally perfect.”

“Okay.”

“So you understand?”

“Oh, yes. I understand perfectly.”

We wrote Sean Cody for a response to Ryan’s claims and their Vice President wrote us back. Here are his full comments:

We’ve recently been informed of [Ryan’s] comments regarding his side of his experience with us.

The shoot with [Ryan] happened over a year ago. It is unfortunate that [Ryan] feels it is necessary to attack us in order to promote his prostitution/escorting services and desire to attract other companies to work with him.

We have so many models that are gay. It’s outrageous that [Ryan] would even consider other gay men as being homophobic. We share our models’ sexuality exactly as they share it with us and never see homosexuality as a negative in anyone’s life. We take pride in being gay, and work with models regardless of their sexuality.

Based on our side of the experience, we decided not to continue to offer [Ryan] work because of a series of events that occurred during his one and only sex film with us. When a model, whether gay or straight, is a pleasure to work with and has a positive and fun attitude, we will continue to work with them as long as possible. This can be seen in numerous films with Danny, Billy, Patrick, Harley, Kurt, Alan, Dennis, Jamie and so many others. The energy can be felt in the films themselves. This wasn’t the case when we worked with [Ryan].

We wish [Ryan] nothing but the best in all of his future pursuits.

Wait, but what’s this? Ryan is also an escort?! More details after the jump!

Even though Ryan spoke a bit more nicely about his scene partner Fuller, he basically said that everyone at Sean Cody acted “like a bunch of burnt out, impatient, jaded assholes” and treated his “asshole like a vagina” adding, “take a hint, Sean Cody: you don’t HAVE to drill for oil in 4-6 yoga positions in EVERY scene. GOD!”
Ryan also mentioned that Sean Cody has waaaay more straight porn DVDs on set for the str8 actors than they do for gay porn DVDs for the gay actors:

Sean Cody provides 20-30 modern porn videos for their straight models to choose from between takes. They work with so few gay models that (when I was there) they had three. One was from 1986 and had more hair product and eyeliner than lube in the scenes. Another was a video of out-of-shape bondage guys dunking each other’s heads in toilets and pretending to rape each other. The last one was Bel Ami (which would be perfect, if I liked that type of guy). I went with the Bel Ami, and hoped for the best.

So even though you’ll never see Ryan on Sean Cody again, it looks like he’s been doing just fine with his “future pursuits.” For one, he’s also an escort on Rentboy with an inactive profile on Rentmen as well. And according to reviews of him on Daddy Reviews, he’s got a killer ass, amazing oral skills, is very charming and versatile. Heck, if you can’t afford his $250 rate, check out what they mean by watching him flip-fuck Lucas Knowles for Hot House Backroom Live.
