Website Update: Blatino Boy Toy

Posted by Michael on May 27th, 2016

Black boys might be my “addiction” of choice, but Latino boys have always been a VERY close second!

So when a long-time fan of the site recently introduced me to Diego, a cute Blatino boy who just graduated high school, I figured it might be fun to mix things up by adding a little bit of Latin flavor to the BBA roster.

An exotic mix of Cuban, Puerto Rican, Black, White, and Native American, this cute but not so innocent 18-year-old likes to dance and play basketball and soccer in his free time. He considers himself bisexual with a growing preference for guys.

I figured what better way to put this new kid’s porn potential to the test than by pairing him with one of BBA’s most well-endowed and popular “tops.” Yes, Blake Bishop is FINALLY back for the first time in over six months, and he’s more than ready to reclaim his throne by busting open some tight Blatino boy ass!

Enjoy an intimate front-row seat for Diego’s amateur action debut as the older and more experienced Blake Bishop meets the barely-legal new boy and shows him the ropes…

There’s lots of tongue-kissing, deep-throating, and more non-stop hardcore fucking than I’ve filmed in awhile as Blake Bishop plunges the entire length of his RAW black dick deep inside that tight Blatino bubble-butt and delivers his deepest and most demanding “dick-down” so far!

Photos From Phoenix

Posted by Michael on April 5th, 2016

Just got back from this year’s Phoenix Forum, an annual adult industry trade show. Had an AMAZING time and came away from the experience feeling more educated, rejuvenated, and motivated than ever before to make BBA the best black gay website it can possibly be!

Hosted at a beautiful resort in sunny Tempe, Arizona (right outside of Phoenix), it was pretty much your usual business convention during the day, with lots of meetings, networking, and seminars led by panels of experts from some of the most successful brands in the business on topics ranging from Virtual Reality as the potential future of porn, to tips on adapting and succeeding in a rapidly changing market, to the various legal and political challenges facing the porn industry today.

As you might expect, things got a little wilder at night with music, dancing, strippers, poker, and various parties catering to both the gay and straight crowds. On Friday night, they even had a live concert featuring the Wu-Tang Clan’s Method Man and Mix Master Mike of Beastie Boys fame.

This year’s show overlapped with Isaiah‘s Spring Break, and since I was already planning to do some filming with him earlier in the week, I invited him to join me and represent the BBA models.

It wasn’t exactly the most racially diverse crowd, so a 6’3″ tall black college basketball player with Isaiah’s physique and striking good looks turned plenty of heads – and hopefully had many pulling up the site on their phones to check out his scenes 😉 !

This was no doubt the largest crowd of gay men he’s ever been around at one time, and I think he was a bit overwhelmed by everything at first, but ended up coming out of his shell and having a fun time with everyone. I’m sure the free lap-dances from the female strippers didn’t hurt either, LOL! (Check out the BBA Tumblr for some gifs from one of his many lap-dances). He has told me several times that it was his best Spring Break ever, and an unforgettable adventure for him for sure!

One unexpected highlight is that I finally got to meet and hang out with the creator and owner of FlavaWorks in person for the very first time, as well as his new exclusive model Trey Donovan who I personally think is one of the hottest and most exciting new faces in black gay porn today. And believe it or not, he’s even sexier in person! (Reminded me A LOT of Blake Bishop).

It was definitely more than a little surreal to be hanging out and discussing business as an industry PEER with someone whose groundbreaking company and websites I was watching as an obsessed fan long before BBA ever began!

The REAL “Dark Side” of Gay Porn

Posted by Michael on January 23rd, 2016

I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to share a reply to my recent post defending the many “good” people working in the porn industry today. Many of you brought up some very interesting and thought-provoking points, and it’s such a refreshing change of pace to see an intelligent and civil conversation taking place about such a complex and controversial topic.

HarlemBrotha’s comment summed it up perfectly and really gets at the heart of the matter, in my opinion. The real issue here is that sexual desire and pornography, and to an even greater extent GAY sexuality and GAY pornography, are still repressed and severely stigmatized by mainstream society and it’s these anti-porn and anti-gay attitudes that create the REAL “dark side” of gay adult entertainment.

I have witnessed firsthand the ridicule, mockery, harassment, judgment, and even threats of violence suffered by porn performers, in many cases by their own so-called “fans” and GAY PEERS, and this ignorant behavior has caused more emotional damage and psychological harm than a dozen “sleazy” producers combined ever could.

When this anti-porn, anti-gay climate drives individuals to the desperate extreme of inflicting violent harm on themselves or others, it’s a hell of a lot easier to blame the “evil” producer than look in the mirror at the ignorance, harassment, and in some cases downright hostility and threats against these young men from their own families, friends, churches, and neighborhoods.

In the past, I’ve used the analogy of a hate crime. If a gay person gets beaten up or even killed as part of a hate crime by people who see that person leaving a gay club late at night, we wouldn’t blame the VICTIM for being gay, or the owner of the gay bar for providing a safe space for community and self-expression. The blame lies solely with the homophobic assholes who chose to gay-bash an innocent person.

In the same way, pornography itself is not the enemy here, but rather the pervasive ignorance and homophobia that even in the year 2016 makes parents disown their own children, casually condones and even celebrates violence against GLBT people, and breeds so much fear, insecurity, and self-hatred in so many young black men in particular that some feel driven to the extreme of either killing themselves or others when they are exposed.

I hate to paraphrase the popular NRA slogan, but the truth is that porn doesn’t destroy lives, PEOPLE do. And if you truly care about the well-being of your favorite “porn stars,” stop ridiculing them on social media or when you see them out at the clubs, quit exposing them to their friends and family when you see somebody you know, and most importantly, start speaking up to challenge the hypocritical “slut-shaming” and homophobia in your own communities.

The more normalized and accepted that homosexuality and pornography becomes in society, the fewer suicides, overdoses, and tragic murders we’ll have to read about involving “porn stars” and producers.

In Defense of the “Good” Porn Producers

Posted by Michael on January 19th, 2016

The following post is something I’ve been wanting to get off my chest for awhile and ended up taking the form of a reply in the “comments” section of a popular urban gay porn blog which recently featured an article about the murder of another porn producer by a former model in which the blogger and several commenters once again seemed to imply – without any evidence or apparent compassion – that the producer was somehow to blame for his own brutal murder. Some even seemed to be rooting for the same thing to happen to me!

This was just the latest and most extreme version of a disturbing trend I’ve been noticing on various porn blogs and social media lately where porn producers and models are casually and in some cases viciously mocked, attacked, slandered, and judged with self-righteous contempt by the very same audience watching and enjoying our movies.

So the following are a few thoughts that I’ve been wanting to share for the past couple months, and just kind of boiled to the surface when I saw the calloused way some people were reacting to the tragic story of yet another porn producer’s senseless murder. I’m sure the people who most need to read this probably won’t ever see it, but I still wanted to get it off my chest and speak up in defense of the “good” producers out there:

I agree that this is a conversation worth having, and shady business dealings like those you describe should be exposed and opposed by consumers, models, AND other producers.

But I don’t think all of this vague talk about anonymous “evil” producers does anyone any good or takes any concrete or positive steps toward accomplishing these goals. All it ends up doing is painting the entire adult entertainment industry with an unfairly broad brush and perpetuating a wildly inaccurate stereotype of the adult industry as some kind of seedy and semi-criminal underworld of greedy, predatory producers and drug-addicted, suicidal models. Which I’m sure is perfectly fine for many of your readers, since this only makes it easier to justify their regular consumption of stolen/pirated content and total lack of financial support for the porn studios they regularly watch. But I digress.

There are dishonest and shady people in every business, and the adult industry is no exception. But in the nearly eight years I’ve been working in this industry (starting out as a lover of good porn much like yourself and most of your readers), I have yet to meet anyone even close to resembling the almost comically villainous caricatures regularly described on this blog. The vast majority of people I’ve met in this industry are honest, hard-working, and shockingly “normal” people who have a passion for porn and are just trying to make a living like anyone else.

One of my very first friends and mentors in the industry (the Marketing Director for Badpuppy) was actually a straight and married “Soccer Mom” with two teenage kids, and the sweetest, kindest person you could ever meet. Another friend and mentor was a gay college professor who started his site as a side hobby and over time turned it into a successful business after a lot of sleepless nights and hard work. Most of us are not the ruthless “pimps” you’d think based on this blog, and we try our best to treat our models and business associates with the same honesty and respect we’d expect in return.

Which is why I think you should start putting your money where your mouth is and calling out these shady porn studios by name. Instead of offering the disclaimer that you’re only talking about SOME but not ALL porn producers, why not be specific and tell us who you’re talking about? Who EXACTLY are these “evil” producers and who are the “good” ones? And are you willing to boycott these studios both on this blog and as a porn viewer?

And just to be clear, I’m talking about responsibly researched and fact-based reporting, not simply repeating unsubstantiated gossip or hearsay from delusional Internet trolls or disgruntled and dishonest ex-models with chips on their shoulders. If your allegations are accurate, they more than likely won’t sue, and even if they do, what better opportunity to actually PROVE and EXPOSE the unethical behavior described in this post?

This clarity and specificity will ultimately be better for EVERYONE – viewers, models, AND the “good” producers who treat their models with honesty, fairness, and respect, and don’t like seeing their entire industry constantly being maligned and attacked on porn blogs like this.

Michael Galletta Counts Down BBA’s Ten Best Scenes of 2015

Posted by Michael on January 10th, 2016

Every year I’m asked by fans how I can possibly meet or exceed the high standard set by the previous year, and every year it feels like an impossible task.

After a year that had introduced Isaiah and his shocking “gay for pay” journey leading all the way up to him finally giving up his ass, the long-awaited “reunion” between D-Rel and Suspense, and Freaky J‘s “epidemic” gay porn debut, I thought for sure there was nowhere to go but DOWN heading into the new year.

Now that I’m looking back at the new models and scenes from this past year, and planning for the new year to come, I’m relieved and proud to be able to say that 2015 was almost certainly BBA’s best year so far!

For starters, I can’t recall any prior year that has introduced *so many* stand-out performers who so quickly won us over and earned their spots among BBA’s most popular performers. Of course the epitome of this was our new star Apollo, whose striking good looks, flawless muscular body, and eagerness to please propelled him to BBA stardom practically overnight. The kind of performer who only comes along once every decade, not a day goes by that I don’t thank the porn gods for sending him BBA’s way 😉 !

If you’d told me earlier last year that 2015 would also introduce models to RIVAL Apollo’s popularity and charm, I would have said you were crazy! Yet somehow the year also miraculously included the discoveries of Blake Bishop and Ross, both of whom will no doubt give Apollo a run for his money in the vote for “favorite new model” of the year!

Whether it was Noah returning after over two years, or Rico finally getting fucked again and like never before, 2015 also saw the surprising returns of several much-missed fan favorites that many of us (myself included) had all but given up hope of ever seeing again!

Of course the MUST-SEE highlights of the year, and the scenes that had everyone talking, were the “taking down” of not just one but TWO of black gay porn’s most attractive and popular “tops”!

Which brings me to my list of BBA’s Ten Best Scenes of 2015, the scenes which for a variety of reasons explained below are the ones that kept me “cumming” back for repeat viewings again and again, and stood out from the crowded pack as my proudest achievements and personal favorites:

(In Descending Order)

#1. All Bets Are Off

I’ve been pursuing “strict tops” for over six years, and I have honestly never encountered anyone as stubbornly resistant to the idea of “bottoming” on camera as Staxx. I have *over 100 emails* saved between me and Staxx to remind me of the stressful, exhausting, and seemingly hopeless pursuit of one of black gay porn’s most breathtaking but tragically “off-limits” asses, the vast majority consisting of Staxx bluntly informing me in no uncertain terms that him getting fucked on camera was NEVER going to happen!

All of that makes this one of the sweetest porn “conquests” I’ve ever achieved. The sexy basketball player’s highly-prized bubble-butt didn’t come easy or cheap, but damn, was it worth every penny! Just seeing ANY dick finally enter that ass would have been epic enough, but the fact that the scene also included the cocky “top” strapped to the bed, yelling and cursing and growling as those glorious twin globes finally got split open and plundered by Knockout’s TREE TRUNK of a dick makes this a historic “take-down” porn classic that I will watch over and over again for the rest of my life.

Easily my proudest achievement of the year, and my personal favorite out of the Atlanta trilogy!

#2. His First Straight Boy

Filmed as a kind of “bonus” scene from my Atlanta visit and greatly underestimated by me at the time it was filmed, this scene turned out to be many viewers’ favorite, and one of my personal favorites as well! Hot as they were, none of Isaiah’s previous “bottoming” efforts gave us any indication that he had this performance within him, simmering just under the surface. Isaiah will probably always be somewhat stoic and stiff, but this was definitely the closest to “unleashed” we’ve seen him so far – and boy, was it a sight to behold! I’ve already watched this scene more times than I’d like to admit, and the sexy sounds of Isaiah finally grunting “FUCK THAT ASS!” over and over while Knockout’s huge, RAW dick aggressively pounds his juicy bubble-butt makes me bust every time. Of course seeing Isaiah return the favor by plunging his own massive, curved dick in and out of Knockout’s tight, “top-only” ass makes this an instant “flip-flop” classic that you truly have to see to believe!

#3. Straight Boys Taste Better

It’s not often that a relatively brief oral-only scene earns almost unanimously enthusiastic reviews from BBA’s viewers and lands a spot on this list. But this scene’s simplicity and spontaneity captures “gay for pay” porn at its purest and most authentic best. Without ever once using the big dick for which he’s well-known, Blake Bishop still managed to seize our attention and prove he’s a confident and capable performer with a very bright future in this business. But it was Ross’s comically expressive reactions to his first blowjob and rimjob from another guy, unfolding in close to real time toward an unplanned and unforgettable climax, that made this one of those rare and special scenes that had us stroking our dicks and laughing out loud at the same time.

#4. Apollo: The Next Level

Another oral-only scene where the chemistry between the models and hotness of the action surpassed many of the year’s hardcore scenes and proved you don’t always need a hard dick thrusting in and out of an ass for a scene to be worth MULTIPLE “nutts.” Even though Apollo had already shown flashes of potential in his earlier scenes, it wasn’t until this scene that he proved himself to be a true STAR. The chemistry between Apollo and Saint – both ex-Army guys and fathers of young sons – was off the charts and the scene treated us to some of the SLOPPIEST, WETTEST, and HOTTEST dick-sucking and ass-eating of the year!

Website Update: Behind the Scenes With Knockout and Staxx

Posted by Michael on January 7th, 2016

This week we’re taking you behind the scenes of two of last year’s most unforgettable and popular scenes with this collection of NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN bloopers, outtakes, and action-packed bonus footage from You Bet Your Ass and All Bets Are Off – including more tongue-kissing, dick-sucking, ass-eating, and FUCKING!

It’s an intimate and entertaining look back at some of the conversations, humor, and action that didn’t make it into the edited versions of these shockingly hot and historic scenes that viewers have called “legendary,” “outstanding,” and “the porn scenes of the decade.”

Website Update: The Puppy and the Tyga #2

Posted by Michael on December 18th, 2015

“He looks JUST LIKE CORY!”

That was the very first thing I heard out of Lil Tyga‘s mouth when he first came through the door with our newest model Kody shortly after picking him up from the airport.

Even though I hadn’t originally planned to pair Lil Tyga with Kody for his first visit, the two of them seemed to have an instant attraction and chemistry and hit it off so well that I knew SOMETHING was going to happen between them – the only question was whether I filmed it or not!

And while a selfish part of me wanted to be the lucky first to sample Kody’s sweet mouth and tight ass (with more than just my fingers this time), I also found myself turned on by the idea of turning over the adorably cute “college boy” to a sexy and aggressive older veteran like Tyga. I figured he could take the nervous newbie under his wing almost like an adopted “baby brother” – with benefits 😉 !

Even though he had found Kody cute from the start, it wasn’t until he asked him to stand up and show off his slim, youthful body that Tyga noticed Kody’s surprisingly prominent bubble-butt.

“You got a lot of ass to be a skinny dude!” Lil Tyga exclaims with surprise and growing excitement as he strips the shy boy out of his clothes….

See for yourself what happens when this cute and innocent “puppy” meets the ravenous older “Tyga” for an amateur action debut that you don’t want to miss.

Website Update: Best I’ve Ever Had

Posted by Michael on December 10th, 2015

Young Montanna & Blake Bishop

Young Montanna is back for his second shoot and excited to be back in front of the camera again. He admits that after watching his amateur action debut, he feels like he still needs to step up his game, and promises that “Round Two” is going to be even better!

I figured what better way to put the new kid’s true potential to the test than by pairing him with one of BBA’s most well-endowed and demanding new “tops”?

Blake Bishop has already done his research by watching Young Montanna’s promising debut, and seems eager to sample the skinny, tattooed boy’s tight ass for himself.

“You’re going to learn the wonders of Blake Bishop’s BIG DICK!” Blake Bishop teases the nervous newbie shortly after meeting him for the very first time.

Of course watching these two complete strangers nervously joke and flirt and check each other out only makes it ten times hotter when they get MUCH better acquainted just a few minutes later….

Blake Bishop & Young Montanna Compare Dicks

“DAMN!” Blake Bishop gasps with surprise when the cute black twink’s freakishly long dick first pops out of his black boxer-briefs.

Enjoy an intimate front-row seat for this action-packed session that includes lots of sloppy-wet dick-sucking, ass-eating, and butt-fucking as these two hung and horny black boys discover and explore each others’ bodies for the very first time.

Lil Tyga Remembers City Bwoy

Posted by Michael on November 10th, 2015

Hey everybody this Lil Tyga. At this point I’m actually lost for words. You guys probably just knew him as Citi Bwoy, but to me he was my big bro, my mentor, and the reason there is a Lil Tyga.

I will miss my friend so much and continue to perform to my best because God knows if I had a bad shoot, that man would tell me. I love you big bro Citi rest easy and hold a spot for me!!!!!!

Remembering City Bwoy

Posted by Michael on November 7th, 2015

Many of you have no doubt already heard the tragic news that popular “porn star” City Bwoy died earlier this week.

City Bwoy was a true icon in the black gay porn industry – a real “porn star” in every sense of the word. I was a fan of his work long before I began making my own movies and eventually had the unforgettable opportunity of working with him.

Jovonnie might have had those hypnotic pretty-boy looks that made him a star overnight, but I always preferred City Bwoy for some reason. He had a quiet confidence and down-to-earth sex appeal that is hard to describe, and like millions of other viewers all over the world, I have enjoyed his scenes many times over the years.

As most of you know, I had the privilege of meeting and working with City Bwoy in person several years ago. As a special favor to his good friend Lil Tyga, City Bwoy agreed to come out of retirement for a shoot with BBA that turned out to be a unique experience I will never forget.

Here’s what I had to say on the BBA blog around that time about the experience of working with one of my favorite “porn stars”:

I had a lot of anxiety going into that scene. Not only was I feeling the pressure of my first scene back after several months, but it was also my first scene with the new HD camera AND my first time working with an official “porn star” – and not just any “porn star,” one of the biggest names in the business!

I was worried that he might turn out to be some kind of porn “diva” who’d be intimidating and/or difficult to work with, but nothing could be further from the truth! He was friendly, laid-back, and extremely easy to work with. He spoiled me with that beautiful, “made for porn” dick which seemed to get (and STAY) hard on cue, plus the way he helped me get the best positions and angles without needing any directing from me.

I didn’t have much contact with City Bwoy after that, but I will never forget his surprising humility and positive energy from that night. He was quite honestly one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. His performance (and off-camera mentoring) brought the best out of Lil Tyga and helped propel his young protegee to the next level of popularity as a performer. And if it hadn’t been for City Bwoy’s easygoing and encouraging spirit that night, I probably never would have had the courage and confidence to pursue other special guest “porn stars” over the years.

Even though he’d moved on to other endeavors over the past several years, City Bwoy’s death is a great loss to the industry and anyone who has ever been entertained by his impressive body of work.

I want to wish City Bwoy’s family and friends great comfort and peace as they grieve his loss. If you’d like to show your appreciation and help his family with the funeral expenses, please click here to make a donation!
