The Luckiest White Boy On The Planet

Posted by Michael on October 7th, 2008

Once again, I’m sorry for not blogging at all this past week! I know, I know….I’m starting to sound like some asshole boyfriend who spends weekends getting drunk with his buddies, but then every Monday shows up at his girlfriend’s with flowers and lame excuses.

Things really have been sort of crazy lately….I’ve barely spent any time at my own apartment for the past couple months (I’m actually composing this while away from home). Plus, as I mentioned before, I’ve really been stressing out about this wild roller-coaster-ride of an election season….not to mention the scary economy which will almost certainly have an effect on the amateur porn business.

I haven’t had much free time to devote to filming or blogging lately. I did have a video-shoot scheduled last Friday night with this sexy young thug whose looks rival those of my best-looking models so far, but the kid ended up being a no-call/no-show, and I haven’t heard from him since. I’m thinking he was either playing games all along, or maybe he just got cold feet at the last minute. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that being stood up is an inescapable part of this business, but it still pisses me off every time it happens. I think the fact that it ended up wasting my Friday night made it even worse.

On a more positive note, I’ve finished editing my next video, and it should go on sale within the next couple weeks. In some ways it’s a kind of sequel to Desiring DJ, and I strongly recommend watching the one before the other, but it can also be enjoyed on its own.

I’m calling it Joey’s First Black Boy, since it’s a kind of “reality porn” look at a cute, preppy white boy’s first interracial encounter….with none other than the bashful young DJ, who I was able to talk into going all the way in this, his second hardcore video-shoot (and his first time with a white guy as well).

I’ll be sure to post more screenshot previews and hopefully a video preview or two just as soon as I get back to my apartment, but until then here’s a restored version of something I posted on the blog a few months ago:

Last Sunday, I finally met Joey, a cute, 20-year-old white college-boy who I’d been talking to off and on since I started making videos last September, about the possibility of him performing in some interracial scenes. Most of the white guys who express an interest in working with me are older and not even remotely attractive, and/or greedy “bottoms” who want to be humiliated, gang-banged, pissed on, etc., by a bunch of aggressive ghetto thugs. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld used to say, but that’s obviously not the type of video I’m interested in making. Joey was a surprising change of pace….young, slim, attractive, AND primarily interested in being a “top.”

When I met Joey for the first time on Sunday, the surprises kept coming. First, he admitted that he’d only actually had sex with two guys before, and always in the context of serious dating relationships. I thought that was really cute and sweet, but sort of unexpected for a guy wanting to star in porn, LOL!

Joey also confessed that he’d never had sex with a black guy before….he’d never even met a gay or bisexual black guy before, at least not that he was aware of. Again, that caught me totally off guard. I’d just assumed that a white boy contacting a studio called “Black Boy Addictionz” would already have some experience with interracial sex.

But I wasn’t complaining! In fact, it made me even more excited about working with Joey to think that I’d be able to capture his first time with a black guy on film. That’s why I love amateur, documentary-style “reality porn” so much….because real-life stories like Joey’s are ten times hotter than anything I could come up with in some scripted video with actors.

As you know, I’ve been dying to work with DJ again since first filming him a little over a week ago, and we’ve been in negotiations about if and when he’d be willing to get fucked on camera. I hadn’t brought up the idea of him doing any interracial scenes just yet, however….of course secretly I’ve been dreaming of the day I’d get lucky enough to enjoy DJ myself, should he ever be willing to do a scene with me….but I didn’t want to bring that idea up too soon and risk scaring him away for good.

I decided that DJ could be a good partner for Joey’s first time, since he’s also a newbie and wouldn’t be as intimidating. When I sent DJ an email with a couple of Joey’s photos and a brief explanation of the scene I was hoping to film, I honestly had no idea how he’d respond. The next day I got a message from him saying something like, “I ain’t been with a white boy before but yeah I’ll do it.”

Again, I couldn’t have scripted it any better if I’d tried 😉 ! (more…)

Controversial Porn: Part 3

Posted by Michael on September 18th, 2008

Awhile back, I shared a few thoughts about the potentially “controversial” nature of some of my interracial videos (you can read my original reflections here and here). A blog reader recently posted the following reaction, to which I’d like to respond:

Let’s put it this way: if you were not CONSTANTLY putting your models in subservient, some would say demeaning, and most specifically positions that are demeaning such as feeling their faces and shoving your hands into their mouths as if you were inspecting them like a prospective slave buyer or doing that whole “Look at me! I’m a white guy pulling these fake thugs asses apart” thing that you do that have nothing to do with “topping” as a sexual position, then your furious blizzard of words above might hold more weight.

You compare yourself to other studios, but this is as PERSONAL to you as much as it is a business.

I’m even tempted to give you the benefit of the doubt that YOU don’t believe that you are engaging in racially informed/offensive behavior (despite your upbringing) but then your whole business is racially informed, is it not?

You have your fans who will defend you, including your models. Nothing new there. But seriously, you need to objectively stand back and look at how you actually behave in your videos. I’m not asking you to stop making videos. Only to more closely examine that heartfelt self-justification you made.

I don’t expect this to be published on the site. But then it doesn’t [have?] to be.

Here are some of my initial thoughts in response:

I actually have no problem recognizing the controversial and potentially offensive nature of some of my interracial videos. That was sort of the whole point of those entries: to acknowledge the negative reactions that some of my videos may provoke, but at the same time point out the hypocrisy, inconsistency, and unfairness of those criticisms (in my opinion).

You suggest that I like to put my models in “subservient” positions, and you describe my videos as “demeaning” and reminiscent of slavery. While you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, I’d like to point out that those are purely subjective, debatable value judgments on your part. Some people will watch my videos and find them similarly disturbing and offensive, while others will see no problem with them whatsoever. Each viewer is going to evaluate my videos (and porn in general) through the filter of his or her own personal experiences, prejudices, and subjective erotic tastes.

The claim that some of the imagery in my videos reminds one of a white slave-owner inspecting a potential “purchase” is an absurd and unfair accusation, in my opinion. I guess by the same logic, any white man (or white woman, for that matter) who touches a black male sexually is similar to white slave-owners who felt up potential slaves on the auction block during the time of slavery. I mean, where do you draw the line when making arguments like that?!? Slaves were also frequently forced to strip naked as a part of such inspections. Am I also somehow imitating a sadistic plantation overseer when I instruct my models to take off their clothes for their solo scenes?!?

Listen, I’m all for recognizing and redressing the legacies of slavery, both social and economic. But I think we head down a very slippery slope when we start seeing echoes of slavery in every interracial encounter, both sexual and non-sexual. If we want to pursue such statements to their (il)logical conclusions, I suppose we could also say that white supervisors barking orders at black employees is also reminiscent of slavery. Or black waiters and waitresses serving dinner to white married couples at the local “Applebee’s.” Or white men coaching athletic teams in predominantly black neighborhoods. In fact, one could argue that any time a black person has sex with a white person, regardless of who’s doing the penetrating, it’s similar to the days of slavery. In my opinion, arguments like that are usually pretty stupid and pointless, and they ultimately distract from the very real and persistent racial inequalities we should be talking about.

The overall point I was trying to make in my original blog entries was that things like objectification, domination/submission, conquest, seduction, etc., are universal themes in pornography. If one enjoys and approves of such themes in erotica, then it’s not fair to cry “racism” when those same themes are explored in an interracial context.

Why Are My Videos So Damn QUIET?!?

Posted by Michael on July 24th, 2008

I love watching loud, raunchy, aggressive sex.

The kind of sex where the “top” takes control both physically and verbally. Sometimes it’s an attitude of confidence or even cockiness, with the “top” barking orders like, “Yeah, swallow that dick!” or “You gonna give me some of that ass?!?” or “Take that dick!” Other times, it’s more intense and aggressive, verbal taunting like “Get on your knees and suck this motherfuckin’ dick!” or “Yeah, choke on that dick!” or “Damn, you takin’ that dick like a bitch!” etc. etc.

The kind of sex where the “bottom” gasps and winces and groans….not with girlish squeals of ecstasy, but masculine grunts of resistance and endurance, pain mingled with pleasure, and maybe even a bit of humiliation about the fact that his ASS is being enjoyed by another man. Ass is sure as hell not pussy, and when a man gets fucked in his ass, it’s a very different kind of experience from a woman enjoying vaginal intercourse. For me, it’s the fact that there’s something difficult and “unnatural” about a man’s asshole being penetrated that makes it so hot to watch. That’s probably why I’m so turned on by watching inexperienced “tops” take dick….the pained facial expressions, the muscles tightened defensively, the squirming discomfort with occasional flashes of reluctant pleasure….all of that depicts a kind of conquest, the surrendering of one man’s body to another, that is intensely arousing to watch.

Rough, verbal sex almost always makes for hotter porn, in my opinion. Isn’t porn ultimately about the art of exaggeration, taking our fantasies and fetishes and making them almost ridiculously explicit and larger than life? So it’s no wonder that the best porn usually involves a little bit of aggression and “dirty talk.”

That brings me to my biggest disappointment with my own videos so far: the fact that they’re so damn QUIET!

I’ve been recognizing this as a weakness in my videos for awhile now, and a couple of you have brought it up lately, so I figured it was as good a time as any to discuss it on the blog. In all of my videos, I think there are plenty of arousing visuals and memorable action. Even the natural sounds of dick-sucking, ball-slurping, butt-licking, and ass-fucking can be a real turn-on. But I’ll be the first to admit that my videos lack the kind of aggressive edge and verbal exchanges I’d prefer!

Part of this can’t be helped, I’m afraid. At least not until I find some places other than my apartment where I can film. There are coffee-shops and restaurants right next to where I live, which means I have very little privacy because people are almost always around (if you’ve watched any of my videos, you’ve probably already heard the sounds of people laughing, dogs barking, children playing, etc. in the background). Plus, I have a neighbor living in an apartment right next to me, and the walls in my apartment building are frustratingly thin. So sadly, rough and verbal sex isn’t much of an option for me until I find some other places to shoot.

Still, I know things could be at least a LITTLE more energetic than they’ve been so far. It seems like the guys I’ve worked with so far just aren’t the aggressive or verbal types. As a couple of you have already pointed out, part of this is no doubt due to the fact that all of the guys I’ve worked with have never done anything like this before, so they’re understandably going to be a little nervous and inhibited throughout their first video-shoots. Most of the guys I’ve worked with so far also tend to be quiet, laid-back types, and when they have sex it’s just naturally quiet and laid-back like their personalities.

I’m no exception. I can get a little dominant physically sometimes….grabbing a guy’s head while he’s sucking my dick, smacking my hard dick against his face, fairly standard stuff like that….but I’ve never done a very good job at being verbally dominant. I basically have two expressions that I use on a regular basis: “Ahhh, that feels good!”….and “You like that?!?” Even with those rather corny and mild expressions, I usually feel ridiculous when I hear the words come out of my mouth!

Shyne likes to tease me about this, and tells me that I need to come up with some “new material.” Not that he has any room to talk, considering the fact that he’s almost comically quiet during his scenes, even when he’s obviously enjoying himself.

And that brings up another issue. My basic porn philosophy as an amateur producer has been to let the guys be themselves and just film whatever happens with little to no coaching or interference from me. The sex might be mediocre, it might be awful, and maybe, just maybe, it will be sizzling-hot….but whatever happens, it will be REAL.

But lately I’ve begun to realize that a little more “directing” from me might be necessary, especially when working with shy, nervous, and/or sexually inexperienced models. Still, I worry that too much coaching from me might cross the line between authentic amateur porn and phony, exaggerated “acting.”

Like many of you, I’d like to see things get a little more intense and dirty and verbal in future videos. I will strive to direct the action a little more, without spoiling its spontaneity and authenticity. As I evolve as a producer/director, I will also continue to evolve as a performer, hopefully growing more confident and creative and daring in future videos. Plus, I will continue finding new models, and I’m sure some of them will be more naturally wild and outgoing and aggressive in the bedroom than the guys I’ve featured so far.

Trust me, I’m my own worst critic, and things will only get hotter from here….

Overexposed Models & “Head Only” Videos

Posted by Michael on June 4th, 2008

Thanks for sharing your feedback and questions! I decided to turn my responses to some of the feedback on previous threads into a new post.

“Anonymous Me” wrote:

The only thing that concerns me just a little is that you referred to many future repeat appearances by Shyne and a couple of the other guys featured in your present videos. Basically, that’s why I stopped purchasing or renting any Sneek Peek videos after awhile–because how many times can you see Vinnie service Enrique, Buzz, Franco, and the other three or four dudes before it becomes boring? Vinnie REALLY needs to expand his talent base in order to get me interested again. I own many of his earlier videos (literally hundreds of dollars worth), but now when I see the names and faces of the same old talent on the boxes I don’t even rent them to scan because I know it’s just going to be more of what I’ve already seen. If he’d added more variety to his talent base (especially different body types and ages) he would have continued to make a lot of money off my purchases. As it is now, I haven’t spent a dime on his newest vids in a couple of years. That said, I hope you’ll continue to find new and intriguing talent for your straight thug explorations, because let’s face it–nothing does away with sexual tension and exhilaration like too much familiarity and repetition.

I know what you mean about Vinnie’s videos getting a little bit too predictable and unimaginative. I honestly didn’t even think he was filming new content any more. It seems like all of his videos for the past year or two have been recycled “Best Of” content, or “new” stuff that is really just more of the same, taken from old but previously unreleased footage.

In any case, I think this is a trap that a lot of porn producers fall into. Now that I’m doing this myself, it’s easy to see why this is so common. There’s a lot of stress and risk involved in meeting and working with a new model for the first time. And there’s something sort of “safe” about working with guys you feel comfortable with and can trust to give you your money’s worth.

But I’ve been a porn CONSUMER a hell of a lot longer than I’ve been a porn producer, and I agree that erotic suspense, sexual tension, new faces, fresh bodies, etc., are some of the things that make porn so appealing. I can think of many porn stars whose physical attractiveness and sex appeal for me have sadly been spoiled by overexposure, and I certainly don’t want to make the same mistake with my videos!

But at the same time, I’ve tried to film and edit my videos in a way that lets viewers get to know the models in a way they just can’t with most fast-paced, tightly-edited productions from the professional studios. When a model is attractive and popular enough, I think it can be exciting to follow his adventures and maturation as an amateur porn star.

I think the key when using familiar models is to make an effort to put them in new and intriguing scenarios, or expand their sexual boundaries in creative and stimulating ways. That’s where I think Vinnie makes his mistake. For me, it’s less about him using the same guys and more about the fact that he follows virtually the same exact routine with those same guys every time!

So yeah, I’ve already filmed additional scenes with Shyne, and I plan on continuing to use him until he loses interest or gets stolen away by one of the bigger companies (which wouldn’t surprise me at all….he’s been VERY popular so far). But every time I film him, I hope to try something different. For example, we’ve seen him take dildos and we’ve seen him fuck Dragon, but I’d love to see HIM get fucked for a change, either by me and/or a super-hung black guy and/or a younger, cuter white boy.

So don’t worry….I will do my best to introduce new guys in my videos on a regular basis. And when I use guys you’ve already seen, I’ll try to space those scenes out, AND make the material as fresh and engaging as possible.

“OfficialG” wrote:

I like to see more oral scenes, Dragon knew what he was doing and no doubt Shyne enjoyed it. I think that Michael has strong dick game as well and that maybe you could focus on having a video dedicated to oral sex, no masterbation but get a top notch dick sucker who has skill to make a dick cum just with head alone. Besides, I think there is this stigma that some guys cannot cum with just head alone, and I like to meet that challange head on (no pun intended) I like to see even the most disciplined tops cum when they said they wouldn’t because the head was just too much. anyway it is just a suggestion and since it looks like you have more tops than bottoms it would take one attractive charming dick sucker to take on Shyne, Michael and any others thinking they “wont nutt from head.” As you said, Michael was already sexually attracted to men as was Dragon and I would presume those two solo videos not as profitable as Shyne cortez or JAy’s so do not discredit someone who is so enthusiastic and does not ask for much. anyways I want to see your idea on the head only videos maybe have three scenes maybe ten to 15 minutes long with a great cum shot?

I like the idea of making a “head only” video.

I know I’m probably in the minority here, but a lot of the time I get just as turned on watching guys giving/getting head in a porn video as I do when watching hardcore fucking. ESPECIALLY when the guy giving head looks straight or more like a masculine “top,” and/or when things get a little aggressive and intense.

I’m the same way in my own sex life. Sometimes fucking a hot wet mouth can feel just as good or even BETTER than fucking a nice tight ass! But like I said, I’m probably in the minority on that 😉 .

I’ll give the “head only” idea some more thought. For starters, I’ll need to find the right guy to do the dick-sucking.

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.

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.

Website Update: Breakin’ In A Young Thug

Posted by Michael on June 4th, 2008

Breakin’ In A Young Thug is now available to enjoy – along with the rest of my movie collection – as part of your membership to BlackBoyAddictionz.com!

If you haven’t yet seen Shyne’s sizzling-hot initiation into the world of amateur gay porn, now’s your chance to witness it for yourself.

I’m not sure if it was Shyne’s laid-back attitude, or the generous amount of cash I was paying him, but I sure as hell didn’t hold back while testing this sexy Blatino kid’s boundaries! I’m STILL amazed at how much Shyne was willing to do in his first-ever porn shoot, and I think you’ll be amazed too!

I knew that I’d found something special in Shyne from the first moment that his girlfriend dropped him off at my apartment. There was something so endearing and seductive about his sexy macho swagger mixed with this boyish, eager-to-please vulnerability. Not to mention his striking good looks, which certainly have the potential to make him a VERY popular “porn star”! It actually makes me a little sad (or maybe just JEALOUS) to think about it, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Shyne show up in some “big studio” productions within the next couple years!

I watched a little bit of the video last night to check for any problems with the online version. It was the first time I’d seen the film since editing it well over a month ago. After watching my “trailer” with its musical soundtrack so many times, I’d almost forgotten how incredibly hot the footage is when it’s just the raw, natural sounds of ass-licking, dick-sucking, ball-slurping, and dildo-fucking !

Some of the scenes I film end up as big disappointments. Others turn out to be hot in the moment, but fairly forgettable in the long-run. On the day I filmed this first scene with Shyne, however, the stars must have been aligned just right, because our chemistry together was surprisingly intense and just about EVERYTHING we filmed ended up looking hot as hell (ESPECIALLY the messy, unforgettable “facial” at the end).

“Why Didn’t Dragon Fuck Shyne?!?” And Other Questions

Posted by Michael on June 3rd, 2008

Since I was away from the blog last weekend, I got a little behind on some of the comments and questions posted by blog readers. I decided it might be easier to post my responses all in one place, rather than buried in earlier posts.

An anonymous reader wrote:

lol shynes facial expression is the same in every frame i can tell he was really uncomfortable. btw how much do u pay these guys to do gay scenes? just wonderin if u dont mind me asking.

Shyne was definitely a little tense and nervous at first. This was only his second video, so he’s still getting used to being on camera. Keep in mind that he also just met Dragon for the first time a few minutes earlier, and suddenly he’s naked and showering with a total stranger! I find that totally hot, but it’s also understandable why he might look a little reluctant and uncomfortable at first. Luckily for us horny spectators, he relaxed enough to make his first sex scene with Dragon VERY hot and memorable.

I also think the screenshots can be misleading sometimes. Those of you who’ve already seen Shyne in Breakin’ In A Young Thug will know what I’m talking about when I say that he is a lot more easy-going and friendly and funny in the actual video than his photos sometimes suggest.

As far as pay is concerned, I’m still in the process of figuring out a pay rate that is fair to the models but also affordable enough that I can earn enough of a profit to continue making videos. I’d rather not reveal anything specific, other than to say that the pay varies. The “gay for pay” videos like Every Straight Thug Has A Price and my upcoming video with Cortez were outrageously (and recklessly) expensive, the solo scenes MUCH cheaper, and the oral/dildo scenes like those in Black Boys Who Crave White Cock and Breakin’ In A Young Thug were somewhere in the middle.

Another anonymous reader wrote:

You know even though you consider yourself an amateur, from these stills at least, it looks like you’ve got some kind of skills. How about sharing a little of what you know, especially about where you find these guys and how you convince them to come back to your place, disrobe and do porn.

Thanks for the compliment! One of the ideas behind keeping this blog is to do exactly what you ask and offer my customers, potential customers, and those who are just plain curious, an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes of my amateur videos. If anyone has specific questions they’d like to have answered on the blog, please post them as comments or email me directly at BlackBoyAddictionz@gmail.com.

In response to the screenshot previews for The Schoolboy and the Thug, another anonymous reader stated:

sorry not my thing….but good luck with it anyways i like the ones where you service a hot black dude one on one oh well laterz.

Don’t worry, I still plan on offering plenty of videos featuring interracial scenes between me (or other white guys) and young black males. But some of my videos will also feature black guys with other black guys, albeit with a less-edited amateur vibe that isn’t always present in other all-black gay porn.

I realize that some of the fans of my interracial scenes won’t be interested in the black-on-black scenes, and a lot of the guys who enjoy the all-black content won’t like the interracial videos. In the short time I’ve been doing this, I’ve already learned that I’ll never be able to please everyone ALL of the time. All I can do is make the kinds of videos that turn ME on, and gamble that enough of you will be turned on by the same things.

Another anonymous reader asked:

It definately looks like Shyne relaxed and got into it. LOL. Did he tell his girl he was moving more furniture?

The ongoing joke with Shyne is that he could be talking on the phone with his GRANDMA and his dick would be pointing up in the air! I hear all these horror stories about models who can’t get hard for the camera (I’ve even experienced this myself on a couple recent occasions), and it makes me feel incredibly lucky to have discovered such a natural and cooperative performer like Shyne.

Joe Schmoe posted the following:

Think Shyne may be Bi-Curious? looks hot..I love how dragon is all boned up before the action starts…True arousal…cant be faked…and its obvious that he’s turned on…Dont get that in a “studio” flick.. The contrast between “eager” Dragon…and somewhat reluctant… at first.. Shyne..Is hot as fuck……

I couldn’t agree more! That’s exactly what makes it so hot for me as well. I had no idea how Shyne and Dragon would respond to each other, but it was fun to watch as it became obvious within the first five minutes that Dragon couldn’t wait to “get better acquainted” with Shyne (can you blame him?!?).

About Shyne’s sexuality….my sense is that he’s a lot closer to “bisexual” than “straight.” If Jay is on the “straight” end of the Kinsey scale and Michael is on the other, I’d put Shyne somewhere in between (but closer to Jay than Michael).

These two readers made the same request/suggestion:

In #2, I think Dragon should run up in Shyne nice ass.

*and*

How come dragon didnt fuck shyne?..That would have been a best seller? Anytime in the future?

Trust me, I’ve been dying to see Shyne take some dick since I got my first look at his smooth, tight little muscle-butt in Breakin’ In A Young Thug!

I guess there were a couple reasons I didn’t ask Shyne to get fucked in The Schoolboy and the Thug:

First, I felt like I’d already pushed his “submissive” boundaries to their limits in Breakin’ In A Young Thug (taking three dildos, sucking my dick, letting me cum on his face, etc.), and I thought he deserved a change of pace by fucking the hell out of Dragon’s awesome ass 😉 .

Second, a selfish part of me wanted to save Shyne’s first time getting fucked on video for an INTERRACIAL scene….preferably with ME gettin’ up in that cute little butt first, LOL!

Not to worry, though….there’s only so much I can do with my little white dick, LOL!!! I’d still love to see him take a real ass-pounding from a thick black dick like Dragon’s!

And last but not least, another anonymous reader posted:

Keep doing what you’re doing because it is working!!! This video looks so damn hot and I hope it will be added to the list of your streaming films on AEBN. When that day comes, I’m probably gonna have to take a sick day off work.

Thanks for the encouraging feedback! Comments like this always bring a smile to my face 🙂 . I’m glad to know that so many guys are looking forward to this video.

Of course my preference is that everyone buy the DVD when it comes out tomorrow (I get a larger cut from the sales than I do from AEBN), but I understand that a lot of guys (myself included) prefer the convenience of AEBN. As a general rule, videos show up in my Online Theater about a month or so after the DVD version goes on sale.

[Update: You can now enjoy The Schoolboy and the Thug along with my entire collection of movies by joining BlackBoyAddictionz.com!]

But please, don’t blame me if you get fired for taking too many “sick days” 😉 !

Thanks for the questions and comments, guys!

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???
