Bandit’s Beach House: A Look Back Before Moving Forward
Posted by Michael on September 4th, 2021
Now that our “Bandit’s Beach House” series has come to an end, I wanted to offer a few reflections and responses to some of the feedback we’ve received for this series.
Like I’ve mentioned in some of my previous replies on earlier scenes, we faced an avalanche of abysmal bad luck with our recruiting and plans for this trip.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that we went through AT LEAST a dozen different drafts of our planned models and shoots before ending up with what we actually filmed. If I tried telling you everything that happened, I promise you’d think I was making it up lol.
At a certain point, we just had to laugh and shrug our shoulders and make the best damn lemonade that we could! I say all of this not to offer excuses, but to assure you that we gave it our all and came up with the best possible scenes that we could considering the ridiculously bad luck we encountered.
It also just happened to work out that both of our new guys were cute gay bottom twinks, which I realize is not every viewer’s cup of tea. But these things tend to go in phases, and we’ll be bringing you plenty of new straight, bi-curious, and bisexual models in the weeks and months to come as well. It just didn’t work out for them to be a part of this particular series.
As a viewer and fan, I honestly haven’t liked all of these scenes either. Just ask Shax and Montez, they can confirm that my feedback behind the scenes has probably been more brutal than anything you guys have said in the comments! 😅
Another thing to keep in mind is that Shax Carter directed 5 out of the 7 scenes in this series, and his scenes tend to be more “scripted” and polished than my own. He comes from a professional background of Hollywood and TV commercial productions, and that understandably shapes his own style.
We’re still working together to figure out ways he can bring more of BBA’s spontaneous amateur vibe to his scenes. We’re also still figuring out the right balance between better equipment/production values and remaining true to our amateur roots. There will inevitably be some missteps and growing pains in that process.
(Shax, Montez, Bandit, & I toasting to the end of our first BBA trip after more than a year!)
To those who have been enjoying these recent models and scenes, THANK YOU for your enthusiastic and encouraging comments! We’re proud to have brought you some truly beautiful moments and stroke-worthy new scenes.
To those who have been disappointed after the long wait, thanks for the candid feedback and rest assured that we’re JUST GETTING WARMED UP! We already have a new batch of hot scenes, filmed by me, and more exciting fresh faces COMING SOON – including sexy new straight boys and a surprise special guest! So stay tuned!
Just for fun, here’s how I’d rank the scenes in this series, from my personal favorite to least favorite:

Future of the BBA Blog
Posted by Michael on August 5th, 2021
Since the newly redesigned website now allows monthly subscribers and those with credits to leave comments, regardless of how they’re accessing the site, we’ve decided to stop announcing the website updates here on the blog. As things have evolved, it’s started to become redundant and unnecessary, and only a small handful of you still leave feedback here anyways.
Please continue to share your questions and feedback in the comments sections under individual scenes on the website, and we will reply and interact with you there just like we’ve always tried to do here.
You can also follow me (Michael) on Twitter here, and the main BBA account here, where we regularly share announcements, funny “Behind the Scenes” clips, teasers for upcoming scenes, clips from BBA scenes past and present, fun viewer polls, etc., as well as interact with our fans on a daily basis.
We won’t be discontinuing this blog or anything drastic like that. We will continue to post important announcements here. We also plan to begin posting more exclusive, original blog content….things like Behind the Scenes stories, profiles and “where are they now” updates for your favorite BBA models, sneak previews of coming attractions, and of course the famous annual “Best of BBA” polls at the end of each year.
If you’re not already signed up to receive email alerts for all of our blog updates, be sure to sign up on the left side of this page so you don’t miss a thing!
Just so you know, we did just post a new Thursday update, so be sure to head on over to the site to check it out and share your feedback there!
Website Update: Bandit’s Beach House – Protégé
Posted by Michael on July 29th, 2021
To celebrate our much-anticipated return after a long and difficult pandemic year, we’re bringing back BBA’s #1 model in his very own series starring more returning fan favorites and even a couple fresh faces.
We recently reunited with some of our favorite guys at a tropical getaway that we nicknamed “Bandit’s Beach House.” Our goal was to celebrate a return to “semi-normal” and enjoy some good, old-fashioned BBA fun.
“He looks just like a MINI-MANNY!” were the first words out of my mouth when our newest model Slim walked through the door after being picked up from the airport.
From their similar facial features to their skinny young bodies, this light-skinned 20-year-old could easily be mistaken for Manny Killa‘s cute baby brother. Which is only fitting, since Manny’s the one who first referred Slim to us.
Things kick off with these two recently reunited friends in the hot tub, reminiscing about the hilarious way they first met, and discussing Slim’s recent decision to join BBA.
They’re later joined in the hot tub by none other than returning fan favorite Stylez, hand-picked by Manny to be his young protégé’s first scene partner.
One look at Slim and Stylez was more than happy to do his BBA buddy this favor by taking the nervous newbie under his wing and welcoming him to the BBA Family like only he can!
Manny eventually leaves the two of them to get better acquainted, confident that Slim will be in capable hands for his official gay porn debut….
Website Update: Bandit’s Beach House – Fresh Meet

To celebrate our much-anticipated return after a long and difficult pandemic year, we’re bringing back BBA’s #1 model in his very own series starring more returning fan favorites and even a couple fresh faces.
We recently reunited with some of our favorite guys at a tropical getaway that we nicknamed “Bandit’s Beach House.” Our goal was to celebrate a return to “semi-normal” and enjoy some good, old-fashioned BBA fun.
Kavii is a strikingly handsome 18-year-old from the South with a slim, youthful body, sensual lips, and a spectacular bubble-butt that quickly caught the eye of every other guy on this trip. Of course his hilarious habit of walking around naked and flaunting his tempting teen body in front of everyone else didn’t exactly help with that! 😂
A self-described “freak,” Kavii has always dreamed of becoming a “porn star,” but never tried anything more than mostly solo amateur clips on his OnlyFans before joining us for this trip.
It’s not too often that we add an eager new “bottom” to the BBA roster, but when we do, the rest of the guys are usually quick to show their appreciation, and Kavii was no exception!
When Kavii slips away from the rest of the guys to enjoy a hot shower and play with himself, returning fan favorite Scuba can’t resist the temptation to sneak into Kavii’s room and spy on the hot private show….
Website Update: Bandit’s Beach House – Last Call
Posted by Michael on July 16th, 2021
To celebrate our much-anticipated return after a long and difficult pandemic year, we’re bringing back BBA’s #1 model in his very own series starring more returning fan favorites and even a couple fresh faces.
Better yet, we’re kicking off an exciting summer with one of the most requested scene pairings in BBA history! After trying to make it happen for OVER TWO YEARS, we finally succeeded in bringing together two of BBA’s most popular models for this long overdue and historic encounter. You knew it was only a matter of time!
We recently reunited with some of our favorite guys at a tropical getaway that we nicknamed “Bandit’s Beach House.” Our goal was to celebrate a return to “semi-normal” and enjoy some good, old-fashioned BBA fun.
Some of the guys are taking a break from hanging out by the pool, playing ping-pong and shooting pool in the Game Room. Ross and Bandit are chatting at our makeshift BBA Bar where Manny Killa is serving up drinks when an already sloppy-drunk Montez gives them a hard time about never doing a scene featuring just the two of them.
When Manny Killa later yells out “LAST CALL!,” everyone else disperses except for these two sexy BBA legends, both with girlfriends and kids waiting for them at home, who decide to stick around and enjoy some long-anticipated “after hours” fun of their own….

Coming Soon: Bandit’s Beach House
Posted by Michael on June 24th, 2021
BBA’s #1 model is finally back for his very own series starring more returning fan favorites and a couple fresh faces.
We just returned from our very first post-pandemic production trip, and even though nothing ever goes completely according to plan, overall I’d say it was a success and we can’t wait to start sharing hot new scenes with you soon!
With the way the timing of these production plans ended up working out, we’re not going to be able to resume updates before the big holiday weekend like we’d hoped, but it won’t be too much longer….
Stay tuned for the official Grand Opening of the newly redesigned BlackBoyAddictionz.com and the return of regular website updates starting the weekend of July 15th!
Coming Soon: BBA 4.0 & Post-Pandemic Summer Season Kick-Off!
Posted by Michael on May 21st, 2021
Just wanted to update everyone with the latest on our long-anticipated return:
Finally received my second vaccination shot last week, which means I should be fully protected by the end of this month. Shax Carter and Montez are fully vaccinated as well. We’re planning to resume production in the coming weeks and then re-launch the website with a brand-new look and fresh content by the end of June, hopefully just in time to celebrate the official start of the summer and July 4th holiday weekend.
Thanks for your continued patience and encouraging messages while we’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get everything fully back up and running as quickly as possible.
The new website is looking FANTASTIC, and I can’t wait to show it to everyone! Hopefully we’ll also have some fresh faces and exciting new content to share with you soon as well. It’s been one hell of a year, but here’s to a new chapter starting soon!
