Michael Galletta Counts Down BBA’s Ten Best Scenes of the Year

Feels like just yesterday that I was being asked how I could possibly top the great year BBA had in 2013.

After a year that had seen the discovery of fan favorites such as Cory, Stephon, and AB, and highlights that included Stephon’s shocking “gay for pay” journey as well as porn star Day Day finally giving up his ass, the bar seemed to have been set pretty high and I’ll confess I had my doubts about my ability to maintain, let alone exceed, such a high standard heading into the new year.

Now as we look back at the models and scenes of 2014, and welcome in the new year to come, I’m relieved and proud to be able to say that 2014 has been one of the most surprising, unpredictable, and exciting years in BBA history.

We celebrated BBA’s 5th Anniversary with the return of some much-missed fan favorites such as Dragon, Lil Tyga, AB, and Suspense. We introduced some exciting new faces – guys like Isaiah, Mello, Randy, and Migo – who have quickly become a new generation of BBA fan favorites.

Other highlights included surprise visits by special guests Freaky J and Staxx, the long-anticipated “reunion” between D-Rel and Suspense that had literally been five years in the making, and of course such surprising and unforgettable “conquests” as “Mystery Model” returning after a long disappearance AND going all the way by getting fucked in his ass, and horse-hung skinny boys Day Day, Migo, and Tay finally giving up their tight “top-only” asses on camera for the very first time.

Of course the most shocking and satisfying highlight of the year was watching our newest straight star Isaiah’s slow but steady experimentation with guy-on-guy sex – recently climaxing with him finally giving in and doing the one thing he stubbornly swore he would never do! (Of course this college basketball player’s unlikely “gay for pay” journey is far from over, as you’ll see in the new scene coming out later this weekend).

After giving it a lot of thought, I’ve come up with my list of BBA’s Ten Best Scenes of 2014. For a variety of reasons that I’ve explained below, these are the scenes that have kept me coming back for repeat viewings again and again, standing out from the rest of the pack as my proudest achievements and favorite scenes of the year:

(In Ascending Order)

#10. Sparring Match

sparringmatch_main3_smallThis is one of those quiet scenes that flew under the radar and didn’t receive the same level of interest or hype that other scenes on this list might have when they came out. The BBA equivalent of “comfort food,” it’s quickly turned into one of those scenes that I turn to for a reliable release at the end of a long day. Saint once again shines in the role of “gay for pay” mentor, and finally brings a performance out of the light-skinned straight boxer to match the potential we saw glimpses of in Mello’s earlier scenes. Easily one of the most erotic and entertaining “gay for pay” scenes this year!

#9. Initiating Isaiah

initiatingisaiah_main3_smallThis is the scene that started Isaiah’s “gay for pay” journey, and it’s worth revisiting if for no other reason than to gain a new appreciation for just how far Isaiah has come over the past year! Whether it’s letting another male touch his body for the very first time, nervously wrapping his hand around Cory’s huge dick, or insisting on wearing a blindfold before burying his own big dick in another guy’s ASS for the VERY FIRST TIME, this scene is “gay for pay” porn at its purest and most authentic best, perfectly capturing the reluctance, anxiety, and flashes of embarrassed pleasure from a straight guy’s first time.

#8. The Competition (Five Years Later)

thecompetition_fiveyearslater_parttwo_main2b_smallAfter trying to make this much-requested “reunion” between D-Rel and Suspense happen for over five years, how could this scene NOT make the list?!? Time might have taken its toll on the boys’ looks, and the action is far from perfect or smooth, but even just seeing these long-lost college friends finally doing the kinds of things we’ve always fantasized about seeing them do with each other was an exhilarating thrill like no other and proved why unscripted real-life stories like this can be so much more exciting to watch than the fake scripted stuff.

#7. Riding The Tyga

ridingtyga_main3_smallAt first glance, you’d never guess that one of the guys in this scene is actually STRAIGHT, or that the guy getting his juicy ass pounded is one of BBA’s most energetic and aggressive gay “tops.” That’s how convincingly both guys stepped outside of their comfort zones to deliver one of BBA’s best action scenes of the year. Lil Tyga succeeds where other models have failed by finally bringing Isaiah out of his shell and pushing him to a level of same-sex passion and intimacy unlike anything he’s shown us before. The foreplay alone would earn this scene a spot on this list, but seeing Lil Tyga surrender his round, tempting ass for only the second time in BBA history was easily one of the highlights of the summer!

#6. Lapdance With Benefits

lapdance_parttwo_main4_smallIn this day and age where any hot guy with a big dick and cell phone can become an overnight social media “celebrity,” most of BBA’s younger viewers probably don’t realize or fully appreciate what a significant accomplishment this scene truly was. Years before “selfies” and “Vines,” Freaky J was the first straight-boy Internet “crush” for an entire generation of gay and bisexual men, and finally getting him to take the huge step of trying “gay for pay” porn was the can’t-miss “porn event” of the summer. The scene itself might have been far from perfect, but just the fact that IT HAPPENED counts for a lot. Whether he was slobbering on his very first dick or letting another man enjoy a taste of his ass, getting his cherry popped RAW or having his face covered in cum, this was Freaky J finally living up to his name by doing the kinds of “freaky” gay things we never in a million years thought we’d ever see him do.

In one word, “EPIDEMIC” 😉 .

Website Update: Staxx In His Stocking

Cory "Unwrapping" Staxx
We’re celebrating the Christmas season this year with an action-packed holiday special featuring the return of a much-missed fan favorite as well as a surprise out-of-town guest.

Earlier this year, BBA model Cory visited Atlanta for the city’s Black Pride, where he had a chance to meet and mingle with others in the porn industry. As fate would have it, it was there that he met Staxx, a former college basketball player turned up-and-coming “porn star” who has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most exciting new faces on the scene today.

As most of you already know, I usually prefer filming fresh faces over more familiar “porn stars.” But from the moment I first saw this tall, sexy athlete’s pics on Cory’s Tumblr blog (he stands at 6’6″ and weighs a muscular 200 pounds), I was instantly smitten and knew that Staxx was going to have to be a special exception 😉 !

Before now, Cory and Staxx had only “made out” and stolen a quick blowjob in the back of a car. But they’ve been asking to do a scene together since meeting in August, so I figured what better Christmas present for one of BBA’s most popular models (and BBA’s viewers) than bringing Staxx to town for a special visit and making Cory’s dream scene come true….

The BBA Gif Contest (Deadline Extended!)

Due to a disappointingly low number of submissions, we’ve decided to extend the deadline for the BBA Gif Contest to Monday, December 15, 11:59 Eastern time, just a little less than a week from today.

Your chances of winning are great, and participating is pretty simple: Just create your own original BBA gifs and send them in as submissions to the BBA Tumblr.

Gifs can be created from any of your favorite BBA models and scenes, past or present. All we ask is that you don’t submit gifs that you haven’t created. You can submit up to three gifs to be considered, and sets that include several gifs of the same model or scene will be counted as one submission (check out the BBA Tumblr for examples of this).

If you’re new to creating gifs, I’d recommend trying the Easy GIF Animator, which you can download here. The free trial version offers a helpful tutorial and allows you to create something like twenty free gifs.

The judges for this contest will be Montez (the guy who runs the BBA Tumblr), BBA model Tay, and myself.

The top three submissions will win the following prizes:

  • 3rd Place: A free 1-month subscription to the website.

  • 2nd Place: A free 3-month subscription to the website and a personalized video message from a select BBA model.

BBA Receives FOUR Nominations For 2014 Blatino Awards (PLEASE VOTE)!

2014 Blatino Awards

I’m excited to announce that BBA has been nominated in FOUR categories for Flavamen’s 2014 Blatino Awards, the first and only porn awards to focus exclusively on Black & Latin gay porn.

This year, BBA is nominated for “Best Black Porn Site,” “Best Porn Blog,” “Best Porn Director,” and Isaiah for “Best Acting Top”!

That last nomination came as the biggest surprise, since Isaiah is a “gay for pay” model who didn’t exactly start out wanting to be well-known for doing gay porn. Definitely NOT who I would have expected to be the first BBA model nominated! But I know that deep down he’s humbled and flattered to know that people really like him and are enjoying his work.

It’s a huge honor to be nominated in all four categories – especially knowing that it’s YOUR votes that determined the nominees! Thanks to each and every one of you who took the time to show your appreciation for BBA by submitting your nominations earlier this Fall.

The voting has now officially begun for the actual WINNERS in each category, so please take a couple minutes to click here and cast your votes for BBA in the “Best Black Porn Site,” “Best Porn Blog,” “Best Porn Director,” and “Best Acting Top” categories – as well as your favorites in all of the other categories!

The deadline to cast your votes is Wednesday, December 31, 2014, so be sure to tell all your friends and show your support for BBA! Please remember to confirm your votes via email or they won’t be counted. The winners will be announced at a special ceremony in Atlanta during Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

Coming Soon: The Competition (Five Years Later)

thecompetition_12

Ever since we first witnessed the awkward, hilarious, and erotically entertaining “competition” between “straight” college buddies D-Rel and Suspense over five years ago, viewers have scolded me for not pushing them to go further, and wondered what might have happened if I had. Some of you gave up on seeing this fantasy “sequel” a long time ago, while others have continued to ask me about it on a regular basis.

As most of you already know, I’m usually very patient and persistent when it comes to these things. But I can honestly say that after at least a dozen or more unsuccessful attempts at reuniting D-Rel with Suspense – either one of the guys would be willing but the other guy would be unavailable or unwilling, or D-Rel would reluctantly agree to do it and then back out at the very last minute – I’d pretty much given up hope of this much-requested “reunion” ever happening. Sadly, this just seemed like one of those scenes that wasn’t meant to be….

Hard as it is to believe, it’s now been over five years since the “competition” that over time has become a BBA classic, and reuniting these two college friends seemed like a great way to celebrate BBA’s 5th Anniversary.

Aside from stumbling into one other at the train station a few months ago, D-Rel and Suspense haven’t stayed in touch or seen each other in over four years. When Suspense recently came out of retirement (again!) for his shockingly impressive encounter with Migo, and right around the same time D-Rel contacted me out of the blue asking for work, the timing finally seemed right and I decided to give this much-requested “sequel” one final attempt.

To be completely honest, until both guys actually showed up for the shoot, I seriously doubted this time would be any different….

We will also feature the occasional non-BBA images, gifs, video clips, etc. that we think fit nicely with BBA’s overall themes and might be enjoyed by most of BBA’s viewers.

Coming Soon: YouTube Celebrity & Exotic Dancer Freaky J Visits BBA!

Freaky J Visits BBA

It’s been an interesting and eventful year here at BBA so far!

We’ve welcomed back some iconic fan favorites like Dragon, Lil Tyga, and Suspense as part of the 5th Anniversary Series.

We’ve seen the shocking return of one of BBA’s most attractive and popular straight models, doing things on camera that I never in a million years thought I’d ever see him do – including taking a mouthful of cum and getting fucked in the ass!

We’ve enjoyed the spontaneous and passionate “reunion” between Cory and Tay, including the surprising twist of skinny, big-dicked “top” Tay finally taking a dick up his cute, hairy ass.

And of course we’ve witnessed straight high school basketball star Isaiah‘s slow but steady progression into “gay for pay” porn, going from refusing to do anything with a guy no matter how much money I offered, to reluctantly fucking a guy (while insisting on wearing a blindfold), all the way to the more recent extreme of letting a man lick his ass, fuck his mouth, and splatter a hot, messy “nutt” all over his stoic face!

But the year’s only halfway over, and BBA’s scorching hot summer season has only just begun!

Freaky J
Anyone who’s visited YouTube or X-Tube over the past five years should immediately recognize our most recent special guest.

Freaky J became an overnight sensation on YouTube several years back thanks to his erotic striptease and sexy dance videos. Like most straight black guys making the same type of videos, he initially limited his target audience to “strictly for the ladies.” But unlike most straight black guys making the same type of videos, he quickly (and smartly) realized and eventually embraced the fact that many if not most of his loyal followers were gay and bisexual men.
