These “Top” Men of 2018 Have One Small Thing In Common
It used to be that having a big cock was almost a pre-requisite for getting into the porn industry. I’m referring specifically to the Golden Age of DVD when it seemed that size queens ruled the world. And if you had a monster cock in addition to a handsome face and a gym-toned body, you were destined for fame and fortune. Of course, there were some performers who had less than average-sized penises, but they were usually rocking either a kick-ass body and/or movie star good looks (see gorgeous Derek Cameron and Lane Fuller). Even then, they would be pigeon-holed and would be cast in only bottoming roles.
Then came the Age of Internet Porn; and versatile, charismatic performers like Dawson and Ashton from Corbin Fisher and Markie More from Next Door Studios were able to win over fans with their chiseled hard bodies. They proved they can be excellent tops despite the unconventional size of their equipment. These guys were the exceptions though. Our obsession with big cocks still ruled, and size was usually the deciding factor in casting the top in any production.
Fast forward to 2018 and while we are still fascinated with seeing guys with huge cocks in porn, our attitudes have certainly changed. More frequently the top in a scene is no longer the one with the ass-stretching, jaw-breaking penis but rather the boyfriend-sized muscle hunk. More important than his dick size is whether he can be both attentive and aggressive, can get it in deep and can get you to the finish line, preferably in a spectacular hands-free fashion.
Sean Cody’s bodybuilder Arnie had a measurably modest solo debut last year, which made it all the more unexpected that he returned in four additional scenes as a top. Since viewers did not seem to mind the atypical casting, the studio invited Brock, another muscleman with an average-sized penis, to return as a top in five additional scenes in 2018. Interestingly, all of his scene partners were noticeably bigger by contrast and some were even massively hung.
One of Sean Cody‘s most popular models is golden boy Nixon, who possesses girth over length. After a 7-month hiatus, the fan-favorite hunk made a return appearance in 2018 for a topping scene with Dean. Previously had done 9 topping scenes and two bottoming scenes.
One might say that the model who paved the way for audience acceptance of the small-dicked top was former Sean Cody darling, Brandon. He was with the studio for five years and appeared as a top in a whopping 36 scenes and as a bottom in only two. Brandon’s immense popularity helped to transition his career over to Men.com, where he continued to perform exclusively as a top in 12 scenes. Most recently Brandon Cody moved to Next Door Studios where he again appeared as a top in a scene with Quin Quire.
The notion that size no longer matters in porn is best exemplified by the universal appeal of Axel Kane, who debuted this year exclusively as a top in dozens of scenes for a wide variety of studios. Interestingly, each of the studios, from Broke Straight Boys, Peter Fever, Next Door Studios, and Men.com had their own niche market. His popularity across different demographics could be considered a sign that audiences no longer associate a man’s penis size with his ability to satisfy his partner. Nor does it affect his ability to deliver an engaging and hot performance on screen. If you’re still not convinced, one of the new models this year, Scott Ambrose (Caspar from Chaosmen) should serve as conclusive proof that you do not need a big cock to ooze sex appeal or to embody masculinity. The old saying, “It’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean” seems to apply to our Top Men of 2018.
