Vinnie Russo’s Straight Boy Seductions

Posted by Michael on June 4th, 2008

If you’re familiar with the amateur porn of “Vinnie Russo” (Sneek Peek Productions and Dawghouse Video), it probably won’t come as a huge surprise that his videos have been a major influence on my own productions. I didn’t even realize the extent of that influence until going back and re-watching a few of his videos recently.

Vinnie’s videos are about as authentically amateur as “straight boy” porn can get. They are filmed in a regular apartment (sometimes you can even see Vinnie’s cat in the background), with just a basic camcorder and tripod. There’s no cameraman, no fancy lighting, and no flashy editing.

Vinnie is a stocky, well-hung, blue-collar-type Italian guy who invites young, masculine “thugs” and working-class guys (white, black, and Latino) into his home for “discreet” encounters.

The guys in his videos are allegedly straight, although I suspect that most of them are probably closer to what we’d call “bisexual” or “on the DL.” But unlike some of the porn producers that try to pass off queeny, lisping gay boys as STRAIGHT boys going “gay for pay,” Vinnie’s guys are undeniably masculine in a way that is still very much a turn-on. Many of them are in and out of jail, a lot of them are heavily tattooed, and most have wives or girlfriends.

One of the things I love most about Vinnie’s scenes is the way he leaves the camera running while the guys smoke and enjoy a couple beers before the action begins. We get to hear them talking about the “bitches” they fucked that week, or some fight they got into at the neighborhood bar, or what a relief it is to be out of prison after being locked up for three months.

What I love is just how unscripted and spontaneous the whole thing feels. We feel like we’re right there in Vinnie’s living room, like it’s us chatting with the hot straight studs rather than Vinnie. We start to get a sense of their personalities, which in my opinion makes the action that follows all the more arousing to watch.

Every video follows pretty much the same routine: The young straight stud lies back in a chair, or on a couch, or on a bed, sometimes with a cigarette in one hand and beer in the other, and with straight porn playing in the background, while Vinnie kneels between his legs and gives him a blowjob.

In some videos, Vinnie moves his mouth a little lower and licks the straight guy’s asshole. There are few things hotter, in my opinion, than watching a gay man tongue-worship a hot straight boy’s sweaty, usually-OFF-LIMITS asshole.

Japanese Straight Boys Submitting To Gay Sex Acts For Cash

Posted by Michael on June 4th, 2008

If I had to choose, I’d say that out of all the porn I’ve seen in my life (and that’s A LOT 😉 ), the BIGGEST influence on the videos I’ve made so far has been some of the gay porn produced in Japan.

I first discovered it a few years ago, and it’s left an indelible mark on my erotic imagination ever since. I’m not exaggerating when I say that it’s the most intensely arousing gay porn I’ve ever seen. And if the idea of straight boys having gay sex for money turns you on as much as it turns me on, I think you’ll agree!

Most “gay for pay” porn in the United States is ridiculously, insultingly fake at worst….and highly suspicious at best. What I love about Japanese porn, especially the stuff produced by the studios Japan Pictures and Field Express, is its AUTHENTICITY.

Every scene follows a simple but highly arousing routine: A toned, usually stunningly gorgeous athlete (we’re often shown scenes of him playing his sport beforehand, many times with an actual high school or college team) sits alone in a bedroom or living room somewhere. A man behind the camera talks to him in Japanese for a long time (making me wish to God I knew Japanese), and my sense is that they’re talking about the guy’s heterosexuality, his feelings about what he’s agreed to do for money, etc. Maybe I’m way off, but regardless, the lengthy interviews reveal the guy to be authentically masculine, down to earth, nervous, aloof, reluctant, etc.

The young athlete strips and starts jacking off. Eventually an older Japanese guy (usually in his 30’s and not bad-looking himself), who is oddly enough almost always wearing goggles, begins slowly massaging and fondling the young man’s naked body.

There is little doubt in my mind that for most of these guys it is their first time being touched by another man: The athlete is always visibly uncomfortable, and there’s something about the way he tightly shuts his eyes, or the way his body tenses up, that feels anything but faked.

The older guy then force-kisses him (again proving the boy’s straightness, as the younger guy usually clenches his lips shut in disgust at first, then eventually surrenders….very reluctantly….to the older man’s insistent tongue).

Controversial Porn: Part 2

Posted by Michael on June 4th, 2008

I see that my previous post provoked quite a few passionate and thoughtful reactions (as I suspected it might). I want to thank those of you who took the time to respond, and for keeping the conversation at an intelligent, thought-provoking but respectful level.

I don’t want to digress TOO much into a serious intellectual debate….this is still a PORN BLOG after all 😉 !

But I would like to elaborate on my previous post and try to explain in a little more depth who I am and why I’m making the types of videos that I am (something I will continue doing through this blog in the weeks and months to come). Some of this will echo what’s already been expressed by others.

Let me begin with the obvious: I LOVE BLACK GUYS 😉 !!!

Young, MASCULINE black guys in particular. I’ve been sexually attracted to black males for as long as I can remember.

Unlike a lot of white guys with similar attractions, I’m not a “size queen” with a fetish for “big black cocks.” My interest in interracial sex is not motivated by any sense of racial inferiority OR superiority.

I’m not seeking out the thrill of breaking a social taboo just for the sake of doing so.

It’s not even primarily an “opposites attract” kind of thing, an interest in something “exotic” or “different,” although I do enjoy the physical contrasts between black guys and white guys (hair texture, skin complexions, lips, asses, noses, etc.), and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with acknowledging or enjoying those differences in an erotic context.

I realize that nobody’s sexual desires can be attributed to ONE cause, but I do think the origin of my attraction is fairly simple and “innocent.” I grew up as one of the only white kids in predominantly black neighborhoods, so by the time I started to figure out at a pretty young age that I liked boys more than girls, most of those same-sex desires were directed at my black friends in school, church, and the neighborhood, sort of by default.

We can probably all agree that sexual desires formed in one’s childhood and adolescence are almost impossible to change later in life. It just makes sense that my original objects of lust (and in some cases, LOVE) continue to attract me well into adulthood.

As I started to explain in my previous post, I’ve also been obsessed with straight males for as long as I can remember, and a variety of related erotic themes including seduction/corruption, prostitution, economic coercion, resistance/reluctance, etc.

I’m also really turned on by themes of domination and submission. I’ve never gotten into the “S&M” or “leather” scenes. In fact, what I consider “domination” and “submission” is usually comically (some might say PATHETICALLY) tame in comparison. It’s basically just me being, for the most part, a “Top”….in terms of my sexual attractions and preferences, at least. (I like to joke that I was born with the desires of a “top” but the dick of a “bottom,” LOL!).

I love getting head and I love fucking ass. Few things excite me more than looking down at a cute boy giving me head, or lying with my naked body smashed against a hot young stud on his stomach as I thrust my dick deep (okay, as deep as I’m able, LOL) in his butt. I love finger- or dildo-fucking a tight young ass, and I love “nutting” on a hot guy’s face. I even like getting a little “rough” from time to time. By that I just mean grabbing a guy’s head while fucking his face, maybe slapping his ass while fucking him, nothing terribly kinky or imaginative I’m afraid. I’m actually embarrassingly awful at “dirty talk,” however….some of you might already have noticed this in my videos 😉 .

[Of course I also have a submissive side, and I’ve enjoyed that dynamic in interracial sex many times as well, moreso in the past than recently however. I *DO* suck dick in most of my scenes, although I don’t think I’m particularly good at it!]

There is NOT, however, any kind of exclusive or causal relationship between my attraction to black males and my interest in these themes. All of the “turn-ons” described above are just as much a part of my erotic fantasies/desires involving white boys, Latino and Hispanic boys, Thai boys, Japanese boys, and just about any race/ethnicity you can think of. I chose to focus on black boys (and hopefully a few Latino/Hispanic boys) primarily for two reasons:

First, they’re probably my preference (mostly for the reason I explained earlier).

Second, I thought I could bring something at least a tiny bit original to the world of amateur black porn. For example, most all-black scenes, even the more “amateurish” ones, don’t take their time and let you get to know the models. And obviously gay interracial scenes featuring white “tops” with black “bottoms” are incredibly rare (although I feel like this has been slowly changing over the past couple years). ESPECIALLY where the black “bottom” is a MASCULINE gay or bisexual boy, or a straight guy going “gay for pay!”

I can understand how the imagery in some of my videos might disturb or offend some people, black guys in particular. If you fit into that category, all I can do is encourage you to avoid my videos for the sake of your own mental and emotional peace. Or better yet, ignore the stuff that turns you off but stick around for the hot all-black content I still plan on producing!

But you know what??? For every guy who tells me that my videos are racist, exploitative, offensive, etc., I hear from at least ten others (including MANY black guys!) who think they’re hot as hell and say they can’t wait to see more!

At the end of the day, porn is almost always going to involve some degree of objectification and “exploitation.” That’s even a big part of its appeal, the idea that beautiful young men (of ALL races) are willing to show off their bodies and perform sexual acts (with varying degrees of enthusiasm) in exchange for a financial reward.

I also think that porn is one place where it’s OKAY to be a little “politically incorrect.” If you really think about it, porn (both gay AND straight) is all ABOUT stereotyping, racial and otherwise! It’s a medium that sort of demands such simplification in order to grab the viewer’s attention with a basic but powerful fantasy.

Burly firefighters, dumb blonde twinks, horny frat-boys, submissive Asians, lusty Italians, the list goes on and on. And yes, it also includes the “dangerous,” super-hung black thug from the “hood.”

In my everyday non-porn life, I can take my “political correctness” to extremes that annoy even my most liberal friends. But I feel like porn is one arena where we should all relax a little bit and enjoy the enormous erotic potential of character types and social stereotypes (as well as “twists” on those stereotypes).

Dragon is a hell of a lot more than a “schoolboy,” and Shyne (or Cortez, for that matter) certainly doesn’t fit neatly or consistently into the “thug” category. But my title isn’t meant as an insult to their complexity as human beings! Rather, it’s a fun and catchy way to understand and enjoy their video!

Similarly, domination and submission has always been a big part of both straight AND gay sexuality, and certainly it’s always been part of what makes a lot of straight and gay porn so hot. Seduction, conquest, sexual domination, rough sex….they’re present in just about every type of porn I’ve seen, including straight porn (interracial and non-interracial), lesbian porn, all-black gay porn, non-black gay porn, etc., etc.

Granted, there’s a wide spectrum ranging all the way from cutesy-cuddly-boyfriend-porn, to ultra-violent S&M torture-porn. But there’s almost ALWAYS at least a common theme where one or more participants is seduced, conquered, enjoyed, used, dominated, etc., and the other participants get to seduce, conquer, enjoy, use, dominate, etc. the submissive partner.

This is why things like gangbangs, double-penetration, face-fucking, and “facials” are such popular and predictable elements in porn. I don’t believe that gay sexuality is ALWAYS like this, or that it SHOULD always be like this, but in PORN it usually is. And I’m fine with that!

But as I see it, one either has to be fine with the dominant/submissive, top/bottom dynamic ACROSS THE BOARD, or oppose it altogether. You can’t pick and choose.

It can’t be “okay” for an aggressive black top like Thugzilla to verbally humiliate and fuck the shit out of submissive white bottoms and then NOT be “okay” for an aggressive WHITE top to do the same with black guys.

It can’t be acceptable for studios to pay straight young WHITE boys to go “gay for pay” in the enormously popular “frat boy” and “military” genres, but “racist” and offensive for studios to do the same thing with straight young BLACK guys.One shouldn’t assume racist or otherwise suspicious motives every time a white guy “tops” a black guy any more than one should assume that all black guys who top white guys are anti-white, or black men who fuck other black men want to demean and humiliate their own race, or straight male porn-stars who fuck (and even dominate) women are misogynists.

I hope this better explains where I’m coming from! And don’t worry, I’ll be back with more PORN tomorrow!

Controversial Porn and My “Catch-22”

Posted by Michael on June 4th, 2008

When I started Black Boy Addictionz last fall, I knew that some of the videos I wanted to make would be controversial. I think a mischievous part of me actually ENJOYS pushing people’s buttons….just ask my family and friends, I’m sure they’d tell you that I’ve mastered the art of provocation 😉 !

I anticipated that a lot of guys, both black and white, would be turned off and in some cases PISSED off at my decision to film scenes where masculine black males (even “thugs,” in some cases) perform “submissive” sexual acts with white males. The vast majority (probably 99.9999%) of gay interracial porn consists of the stereotypical hung black stud fucking the hell out of a sissy white bottom, to the point that any departure from that stereotype strikes some as “unnatural” and distasteful. This is so deeply engrained in our conceptions of gay interracial sex that the amateur producer Joe Schmoe recently coined the term “reverse interracial” to describe scenes where the black male sucks dick or gets fucked by a white guy. I’ve even heard from some black guys who go so far as to say it’s “racist” any time a white man takes the “top” role with a black guy. [To be fair, I’ve also heard from MANY guys, both white AND black (and neither), who WELCOME the change of pace.]

What I *DIDN’T* anticipate, however, was the kind of negative, even HOSTILE, reaction by some to the “straight seduction”/”gay for pay” theme itself (regardless of its racial make-up). I’ve been accused of exploitation, rape, manipulation, cruelty, torture….Hell, reading through some of the comments on my X-Tube clips, you’d think I should be reported to Amnesty International for crimes against humanity!

I’m beginning to think that a lot of this hostility comes from a lack of familiarity with the history and diversity of gay erotica, and a very limited exposure to AMATEUR porn in particular.

A big part of it is generational, I think. Most of the negative feedback comes from young black guys who’ve only been watching gay porn for a couple years at the most. They’ve been raised on a porn diet of predictable, black-only porn scenes where the “tops are tops” and the “bottoms are bottoms.” Videos like mine are as foreign to them as everything else that happened before 1990 😉 . They seem to have no idea that my videos are part of a genre that’s been around for decades!

I’ve been obsessed with “straight boy” porn since I first started watching porn in college. For the longest time I was addicted to the young Adonises of Bel Ami, beautiful straight boys from Eastern Europe who the legendary director George Duroy would recruit from poor villages into lives of “gay for pay” porn. My influences since then are too many to describe here. They range from comically staged fantasies to gritty, documentary-style “reality porn” depicting actual straight boys selling their young bodies for cash.

I suppose it’s fair to question the “morality” of such films (just as I suppose it’s fair to debate the “morality” of porn itself).

I have to confess, however, that what some find morally reprehensible are the very same things that turn me on the most! While I certainly don’t condone rape or violence, there’s a huge gray area between passionate, eager lovemaking and the extreme of non-consensual sex, that has a lot of erotic potential.

Themes like economic coercion, prostitution, the “deflowering” of virgins, reluctance, initiations/hazing, sex in exchange for money or favors, etc. have always held a powerful erotic appeal for me in literature, film, erotic fiction, AND pornography. These themes have a long and vibrant history in both gay AND straight erotica, and I don’t see why their relatively mild manifestations in my own videos should be so shocking or offensive.

Over the next few weeks, I plan on presenting some of my porn inspirations on this blog as a way of better explaining where I’m coming from, and preparing readers for the release of my potentially controversial next video (I’m calling it Corrupting Cortez, if that tells you anything).

And that brings me to a kind of predicament I’ve gotten myself into with my videos, the “Catch 22” mentioned in the title of this post.

Some of my videos, like The Schoolboy and the Thug, will feature only black models in relatively conventional action scenes (but hopefully with a unique amateur vibe). The problem is that a lot of the fans for these types of videos do NOT enjoy interracial scenes, at least not the type that I’m making. In fact, a lot of them are the same folks who find my “gay for pay” films so disturbing and offensive.

Conversely, a lot of you who enjoy my videos for their interracial and/or “gay for pay” themes have complained that a video like Schoolboy is boring and unappealing.

It’s going to take some time before I know how much cross-over there is between these two camps. My fear at the moment, however, is that I’ll risk alienating both groups by offering videos they simply don’t like (or find offensive).

My feeling as I write this is that I should follow the advice given to me by one of the main guys at AMVC when I started making videos: Stick to the stuff that turns ME on, and trust that those turned on by the same things will buy my videos and remain loyal fans, while those who aren’t will eventually move on to producers who better satisfy their erotic tastes.

Scary Street Thugs, Dirty “Older” White Guys, and Other Reflections

Posted by Michael on June 3rd, 2008

I wanted to take a few moments to respond to a couple things brought up in the “blog comments” lately. One customer/reader recently posted the following:

Your video Every Straight Thug Has A Price is my favorite format for interracial action. Great job! My only “criticism” would be a more or less personal one based on my own preferences–like the fact that you seem to feature thugs who are a little too “wholesome” and non-threatening (as opposed to some of the great-looking street thugs who are more inked up, muscled up, and gangsta-looking)–and I think your videos would benefit from leaning more toward the less wholesome looking black dudes. Again, that’s a personal point of view. I just don’t find twinks very appealing–black, brown, or white. There’s something incredibly hot to me about “taming the wild beast”, so I would love to see you in some vids where you explore, fondle, and service some black thugs who look more convincingly “street.” Cortez is a good starting place. He’s more masculine in appearance than the pretty boiz. Just a thought. Hope you don’t mind the feedback.

I don’t mind the feedback at all! I *ALWAYS* welcome feedback from readers and customers when expressed in a respectful and constructive way (as you did above).

I appreciate the fact that you made it clear that your comments come out of your own personal erotic preferences. I haven’t been doing this for long, but I’ve already realized that I’ll never be able to please everybody all of the time. The best that I can do is make the kind of porn I’ve always enjoyed watching, or wanted to see, with the kind of guys that turn me on.

That said, I have some good news AND bad news for you. The bad news is that unlike you, I *do* like the slim, smooth, youthful “twink” and “pretty-boy-thug” look, as long as the guy is masculine (and even there I’ll make exceptions from time to time). Shyne, for example, has the kind of tight, toned body that drives me absolutely wild with lust, even though he isn’t very muscular or tattooed or “threatening.”

But the good news is that I *also* share your attraction to the “great-looking street thugs who are more inked up, muscled up, and gangsta-looking,” and I promise you that I’ll do my best to feature some of them in future videos.

Keep in mind that it’s more challenging to convince such types to appear in gay porn, and there also comes a point when a thug can look a little TOO “street” and “threatening” for me to feel smart and safe about inviting him into my home to shoot porn. But I promise that I’ll make an effort (I already have a couple prospects), because I’d ultimately like to feature a diverse collection of black and latino guys in my videos.

The same guy continued:

By the way, I bought your first Every Straight Thug Has A Price but I would never personally purchase a black on black action video because I can’t “project myself” into the fantasy. (I like fantasizing that I’m doing what YOU’RE doing when you spend lots of time exploring those beautiful black bodies without getting your own ass kicked!) lol Keep up the great work. I love how you take your time instead of rushing the action. You’re one of the few who understands that sensuality and sexuality are equally important.

Thanks for the compliment….I’m glad that you appreciate the laid-back, leisurely pace of my videos. I’m sorry to hear that you don’t have an interest in my black-on-black videos, but I totally understand where you’re coming from. I suspected that some of the folks who enjoy my interracial scenes wouldn’t be interested in the black-on-black scenes, and vice versa.

I doubt it will change your mind, but I’m still very much present in the black-on-black scenes, as a voice behind the camera who interviews the boys beforehand, coaches them through the experience of their first porn-shoot, poses occasional questions throughout the scene, etc. As a viewer, it’s still possible to identify with me as a horny white guy lucky enough to have two sexy young black guys in his apartment, watching with breathless suspense and excitement as they touch for the first time and let me guide them through their first porn shoot. I know it’s a stretch, but I had to give it a shot 😉 !

Last but not least, I got a kick out of JoeSchmoe and VersatileBoy’s comments about the way I sometimes refer to myself as an “older white guy.”

I guess that’s just my own insecurities coming out. It’s sort of my way of making clear that my videos are not about MY looks, body, dick size, etc.

Plus the whole “older white guy” thing can be a hot visual fantasy, in my opinion. ESPECIALLY with the straight guys, but even with a cute gay boy like Dragon, it’s exciting to think that with a little cash and persuasion, a gay guy who’s *13* years older than him, and not at all his type, can still get his hands on a young stud like him.

But don’t worry….In real life, I don’t really think of myself as “old.” In fact, I usually feel like I’m still 21 or 22, and it sometimes comes as a rude awakening when I realize there’s now a widening generation gap between me and the guys I like to date and hook up with!

Maybe that’s part of the reason I’m enjoying this porn project so much. It allows me to enjoy the young black guys I drool over without feeling like too much of an old creep (it’s “just business,” as opposed to asking a guy out or hitting on him in a club or on the street).

Or maybe it’s just the opposite? Maybe this is my way of preemptively EMBRACING the status of “dirty old man” before somebody ELSE has the chance to label me as such???

Short and Quick, or Long and Slow :)?

Posted by Michael on June 3rd, 2008

Now that I’ve got some hot video footage piling up, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to release all of it.

Most porn companies, and even a lot of amateur producers, seem to stick to the traditional formula of three-to-five scenes per film. Every scene cuts almost immediately to the hardcore action, which is then heavily edited so that it all fits neatly into a predictable, fast-paced, 15-to-20-minute scene.

I know that a lot of guys….probably MOST, in fact….prefer their porn that way. They want it quick and simple, and couldn’t care less about who the performers are, or what went on behind the scenes. Such scenes allow them to enjoy a variety of models in different combinations, and if they don’t like one scene, they can always skip to the next with a simple click of a button.

While I can certainly enjoy those videos, I’ve always found them somewhat frustrating. Back when I first discovered gay porn in my late teens, one of my favorite studios was Bel Ami. While I loved the stunning, youthful beauty of their mostly-straight Eastern European models, I remember getting annoyed time and time again when I’d be jerking off to a hot scene of two gorgeous boys kissing, making out, etc., and then BAM!!! with no warning or transition whatsoever, there’d be a closeup shot of a dick pumping in and out of an asshole. I always HATED that (and still do)! I wanted to SEE the transition from cock-sucking to fucking, even if it was clumsy or awkward or “boring.”

For me, having a sense of a scene’s CONTEXT is at least half the thrill of watching porn! I want to know about the performers’ backgrounds and personalities. Is it a model’s first time appearing in a porno? Is one of the models an actual straight boy, doing his first gay scene because he’s broke and desperately needs the money? Is one of the models a “top” who’s been offered a little extra cash to “bottom” for the first time? Are the models in a scene actually boyfriends in real life, or are they total strangers, meeting one another for the first time just moments before the cameras start rolling?

I also want to feel like I’m really THERE watching an actual porn-shoot, not some glossy, tightly-edited “fantasy.” Again, it’s the REALITY and PSYCHOLOGY of porn that excites me, the voyeuristic thrill in the fact that real people are consciously having sex in front of a camera, taking directions from the producer, pausing for breaks between “takes,” etc., etc.

I always feel a little cheated when a video has too many “cuts.” I *WANT* to see every raw, spontaneous, occasionally awkward, sometimes clumsy, frequently hilarious behind-the-scenes moment of a video-shoot. That’s why I was so addicted to Cocodorm‘s 24/7 cameras, live nightly shows, and “Real World”-style porn, and why I love so much of the amateur stuff sold by AMVC, and why I’m trying my best to make this a blog that will enhance people’s enjoyment of my videos with its exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

That’s also why I think most of my own videos will only feature one or two scenes. I know this format will probably bore a lot of guys to tears, but I honestly don’t think I could do it any other way.

If you’ve seen any of my first three videos, you already know that I like to take my time 😉 . I try to let my viewers get to know my models by interviewing them before the “action” parts of their scenes begin. I feel like getting a sense of a guy’s personality, interests, erotic exploits, sexual likes and dislikes, etc., helps build anticipation and makes it ten times more exciting when we see him strip out of his clothes and perform for his first time ever on camera! I also like to savor every moment, trying my best to capture it from the hottest angles possible. As a result, I usually end up with a good three or more hours of footage for every scene I film.

Take the scene I filmed with Shyne and Dragon last Wednesday, for example. They were at my place filming off-and-on for over three hours, and for most of that time the camera was running. Now I could cut out the part where they meet each other for the very first time (I literally had my camera shoved in Dragon’s face as he walked through my front door!)….or their awkward, nervous interaction while I interviewed them both side by side….or the dozens of hilarious and entertaining comments made by both boys as their way of dealing with the range of emotions throughout their first porn-shoot (and first sexual encounter with each other). I could cut all that out and trim the footage down to a simple, straightforward 20-minute scene, but in my opinion such a scene wouldn’t come anywhere CLOSE to being as hot and memorable as the longer, leisurely, minimally-edited version.

At first glance it might seem unfair to charge $20 for a DVD containing just one or two scenes, but I’m hoping there are enough guys out there who will appreciate the relaxed pacing and intimate, documentary-style feel of my movies. I’m trying as hard as possible to make viewers feel like they’re right there in that little apartment with me and the models, enjoying a front-row seat to a live amateur porn-shoot. When one looks at it like that, I hope the $20 seems worth it.

I’m curious to hear what others think about one-or-two-scene videos. Feel free to post your comments, or email me any time at BlackBoyAddictionz@gmail.com.

From “Preacher’s Kid” To Pornographer….

Posted by Michael on June 2nd, 2008

A fan of my videos recently asked:

Can I ask what made you want to get into this. Money, or just the love of hot guys and filming?

Well, it’s definitely not the money! If money was my primary motivation, I probably would have already quit by now. It will probably be a very long time before I gain enough exposure, produce enough videos, and establish enough of a loyal customer-base to make any kind of profit off my videos. ESPECIALLY if I want to make more “straight-seduction/gay-for-pay” videos like Every Straight Thug Has A Price. I spent so much money to make that video happen that I’ll probably be in a NURSING HOME before I ever make a profit off of it 😛 !!!

Of course it would be NICE to get a steady flow of cash coming in, but only because that will make it possible to produce more videos.

From a very early age, I’ve just always been a very sexual person, and there’s always been an intense voyeuristic aspect to my sexuality.

Not to get too psychoanalytical or anything, but I’m sure a big part of that was due to the fact that I was a “preacher’s kid,” and raised in a very religious, sexually repressive household.

When I was as young as eight or nine, every Sunday I’d obsessively scour the pages of that week’s “TV Guide,” eagerly seeking out anything that might feature nudity or sexual content. Sometimes the “TV Guide” descriptions alone were enough to stimulate my horny prepubescent imagination. But when I was feeling ESPECIALLY daring, I’d set the VCR timer for whatever naughty flick was on at 2 a.m., and then secretly watch it the next time I was lucky enough to have the living room to myself 😉 .

I also remember accidentally walking in on this cute little black girl from my preschool class when she was naked and sitting on the toilet….and that thrilling image of her naked brown bottom accompanied my very first experimentations with masturbation.

That fascination with nudity and anything sexual….especially as a forbidden spectator….only intensified as I got older.

One of my favorite fantasies was to imagine the hottest of my junior-high schoolmates (because I grew up in poor, inner-city neighborhoods, it just so happened that most of them were black 😉 ) standing side-by-side, fully-clothed, in an empty room. I think the gist of the fantasy was that on any given day I could pick out any one of them for my sexual pleasure.

“Raymond” – I’d call out the name of the cute, skinny boy with the light-brown skin who sat next to me in homeroom. He’d step forward. Then I’d instruct him to slowly remove his socks, then his shirt, then his pants, etc., etc., until his naked body was totally revealed.

Of course for the longest time I wasn’t quite sure what to do with him after that, LOL. But it’s funny when I think back on it now, to realize how even as a kid I was imagining myself as a porn director, years before I’d ever see my first porn video!

Of course when I discovered that such a thing as “pornography” existed, my horny imagination went crazy! My little brother and I shared a room, and sometimes he would come out of the shower and do a little strip-tease as he pulled down the towel around his waist. Then he’d jump on the bed and begin wildly humping his pillow (I think he might have seen a real porn video before I did, LOL), while I would jokingly coach him and pretend like I was filming the whole thing with an imaginary camera.

So yeah….I think it’s fair to conclude that this is something I’ve always fantasized about doing 🙂 .

I actually came very close to making a porn video back in college. It started out as a late-night conversation, joking with my gay roommate, but the more we talked about it, the more we wanted to do it. We even started drafting a script, planning out possible locations for filming, and sent out an “invitation” email to everyone in our circle of gay friends that we thought were cute and open-minded enough to participate. Sadly, I got cold feet at the last minute, and it never ended up happening.

But it’s always been one of those intense nagging fantasies that has stayed with me over the years. When I discovered AMVC.com close to ten years ago, I knew that they would probably be the most affordable and practical way for me to start a porn company, should I ever find the time, money, and courage to pursue it.

A few months ago, I had a little extra money, and a couple friends who encouraged me to try it….

….and now my dick and balls are staring everybody in the face on AMVC’s homepage 😉 !

My Behind-the-Camera Voice: “Sexy” or Just Plain Annoying?

Posted by Michael on June 2nd, 2008

A fan recently wrote:

As for your upcoming new vid…FINALLY, a long-awaited glimpse of your FACE (attached though it will be to a large and rude appendage)!

I hope you will see fit to continue with the on-camera conversations with your thugs. As you know, there are fans of your VOICE in the audience!

LOL!!!

Well….Like most people, I hate the way I sound on audio and video recordings. So it’s difficult to comprehend how anyone could find anything “sexy” or appealing about it, but hey, if it adds to your enjoyment of my videos, I’m happy!

And don’t worry, I definitely plan to continue incorporating in-depth interviews/conversations as part of all my future videos. I know it will probably annoy the impatient guys out there who want to see hardcore fucking in the first five minutes of a video, but personally I think getting to hear a model’s stories, personality, nervousness, etc. only builds anticipation and intensifies one’s enjoyment of the action when it eventually starts.

In fact, I think that might be the #1 thing that makes amateur porn so much hotter than the professional stuff, the sense that you’re watching REAL people with unique personalities, fantasies, fears, dreams, etc….showing off their bodies and having sex on camera, many times for the very first time. Professional porn might be hot to watch, but there’s always something detached and impersonal about the assembly-line stream of one scene after another, featuring models who either present a fake persona or show us very little of their real personality (because they’re never given the chance).

But back to my voice….I think the toughest part of editing my first two videos has been resisting the temptation to edit out every time I say something! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cringed while playing back the raw footage, thinking to myself, “God, what a stupid thing to say!” or “Now why the hell did I have to go and ruin the moment by saying that???” or “Wow, I sound like such a sleazy, horny old man!”. I’ve actually given into the urge to cut those comments a few times, but for the most part I’m leaving them in.

And while I’m glad some people like my voice, keep in mind that I’m NOT supposed to be the “focus” of these videos! I’m afraid my actual face, body, and dick really leave a lot to be desired. When I started this project, I had every intention of staying BEHIND the camera at all times. The only reason I reluctantly did the second video with Jay was because I didn’t have any white guys to work with, and Jay was so damn gorgeous to me, and so back-and-forth about doing a gay scene, that I felt like I had to “seize the moment” and make it happen.

Sorry for rambling…..but I guess this is the point of a blog, right?
