Website Update: Ross – Raising The Stakes

Posted by Michael on February 19th, 2016

Like most of BBA’s “gay for pay” models, Ross is still very much a work in progress. He has been extremely obstinate and resistant about some things, but refreshingly cooperative and open-minded about others.

For example, unlike most of the straight guys I’ve worked with, Ross is surprisingly candid about his love of ass play. He admitted during his solo “audition” that he’d been turned on to it by a freaky ex-girlfriend, and anyone who’s witnessed his unforgettable encounters with Blake Bishop and Cordell already knows that Ross clearly LOVES having a tongue and finger inside his ass!

Ross is still very reluctant to try an actual DICK, but I suspect that is probably more psychological than anything else. And after several months of persistent pursuit, I was finally able to talk this sexy straight boy into showing us the NEXT BEST THING by at least exploring ANAL PENETRATION with fingers and toys….

“I know that you like my ASS!” Ross addresses his fans at the start of this scene. “So I’m going to play with my ass for you guys today.”

He kicks things off with a tempting tease in which he generously shows off his cute muscle-butt, allowing his horny gay viewers to pay more attention to it than ever before.

“Y’all like how my ass look?” Ross seductively asks as he smacks, grabs, and even spreads open his firm brown cheeks to expose his pretty pink hole. “I know many of y’all been out there waiting to see something PENETRATE this!”

Watch in horny suspense and amazement as Ross squirts a generous amount of lube onto his tight, winking hole and proceeds to plunge one, then later TWO, fingers in and out of that tight virgin ass as his eyes roll hilariously back into his head like some sort of possessed creature straight out of a horror movie 😉 !

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: Introducing Kody

Posted by Michael on November 26th, 2015

Anyone who shares my weakness for barely-legal black boys and has ever guiltily lusted after a cute younger nephew or that innocent “boy next door” should enjoy our latest addition to the BBA roster.

Kody is an adorably awkward and wide-eyed “college boy” who looks like he could easily be fan favorite Cory‘s cute baby brother.

A self-described “gamer” and “nerd,” Kody loves playing video-games, watching anime, and studying hard to earn straight A’s in college. He admits with an embarrassed laugh that he’s always had “two left feet” and literally trips over himself all the time. Not surprisingly, he remained a virgin and didn’t even experience his FIRST KISS until he went off to college!

But don’t let that cute baby face fool you – this kid’s not QUITE as innocent as he looks! Kody confesses that he first stumbled upon BBA at a shockingly young age, and he’s had a thing for older men ever since. Now that he’s all grown up and old enough to legally watch and do porn, he’s decided that joining BBA might be a fun and easy way to earn some extra money and pay his college tuition.

Kody’s “audition” starts off with an entertaining interview to get better acquainted with this cute black twink shortly after meeting him for the very first time. This includes a funny story about his introduction to kissing (and later actual sex) with both females AND males at a fraternity party, all on the same unforgettable night!

Kody gets understandably nervous and shy when the time finally comes for him to take off his clothes and expose his naked body to the world for the VERY FIRST TIME. But his awkward innocence only turns me on even more, and I thoroughly enjoy guiding him through a seductive striptease in which he ends up showing off EVERY INCH of his tempting young body, including a surprisingly big dick AND juicy bubble-butt for such a skinny boy! And just wait until he throws those skinny legs in the air to show off one of the prettiest assholes I’ve seen in awhile….

Website Update: Corrupting Cortez

Posted by Michael on October 18th, 2015

While I take some time to regroup, recruit, and get back into the full swing of production again after a brief hiatus due to the recent website redesign, I’m returning to BBA’s roots this weekend with a digitally remastered and much-requested re-release of an early BBA classic that hasn’t been available to BBA’s viewers for over five years.

Don’t miss the controversial interracial scene that inspired the BBA logo and was one of the first to explore the theme of cocky straight black boys reluctantly compromising their “manhood” for cash.

If you like your thugs slim, young, and cute, looking like they’re barely out of high school, you’re going to LOVE Cortez. I swear this boy’s body doesn’t have an ounce of fat! Cortez looks a little bit like the rapper Mos Def’s cute younger brother. He carries himself with a cocky, “I know I look good” swagger, and after seeing what’s hanging between this boy’s legs, I sure as hell don’t blame him! His heavy, low-dangling balls will also have you drooling in no time, and his tight, high-arching butt is damn near flawless.

Between short-lived jobs with fast-food restaurants and temp agencies, Cortez sells drugs and is always looking for ways to make the most amount of money with the least amount of work. He spent most of last year locked up on weapons-possession charges, and now spends most of his days drinking, getting high, fucking “bitches,” and playing “Spades” with his “homeboys.”

Every time I approached Cortez with the idea of doing anything with a guy, he always turned down my offers with the kind of confidence and certainty that had me ALMOST convinced this was one straight thug who was NOT for sale! I finally grew so desperate to get my hands on Cortez that I offered him nearly TWICE what I paid Jay for his scene in “Every Straight Thug Has A Price” (which was ALREADY an outrageously high amount)! Even then, Cortez initially refused. It wasn’t until several weeks later that I got a call from him late one night, telling me that some pressing financial problems had finally changed his mind.

This video captures every erotically charged minute of Cortez’s “corruption” at the hands of an older gay man. It is over a FULL HOUR of “gay for pay” porn at its bleak and wicked best, and NOT for the easily offended!

Website Update: Straight Boy Sex Toy

Posted by Michael on April 26th, 2015

This week we’re dipping into the BBA archives to bring you a unique and previously unreleased encounter between Isaiah and me that was filmed early last year. Unlike most of BBA’s scenes, this scene experiments with a mix of reality and fantasy role-playing.

The behind-the-scenes REALITY was that we’d been stood up by another model and had to come up with this alternate scene at the very last minute.

The FANTASY is that Isaiah is a reluctant straight escort willing to do ALMOST anything to earn the quick cash he needs to help pay for his mother’s surgery and avoid being evicted – even if that means letting a horny older white gay man enjoy every inch of his athletic young body! (This fantasy, by the way, very closely mirrored our real-life situation).

Knowing that Isaiah is ALL MINE for the night, I decide to experiment with some kinky new things and find out just how far the broke straight black boy will go. (Keep in mind this scene was filmed early-on in Isaiah’s “gay for pay” journey, and long before he’d agreed to give up his ass).

Join me for this unusual late-night encounter full of freaky fetish fun that includes some light bondage, spanking, face-fucking, and ass-eating….

Website Update: Introducing Cordell

Posted by Michael on April 20th, 2015

Cordell is a spontaneous and outgoing 23-year-old who enjoys bowling, going out to clubs, and working out at the gym at least four times a week.

A mix of Black and Indian, and originally from the Caribbean, Cordell has the kind of exotic good looks and sexy accent that will no doubt seduce many viewers. He also happens to be a refreshingly confident and masculine gay male who isn’t scared or ashamed to admit his attraction to men. Like most guys, he’s always fantasized about doing porn, and lucky for us, he’s decided to turn that fantasy into a reality here at BBA!

Enjoy a front-row seat for Cordell’s exclusive solo debut as he introduces himself to BBA’s viewers and later strips out of his clothes to reveal his sculpted young body to the world for the VERY FIRST TIME!

Of Mike and Men

Posted by Michael on March 27th, 2015

It’s been a rough start to the year for me personally. Not so much in terms of BBA’s models or scenes, as I’ve still managed to find some exciting new faces and produce some hot scenes that I’ve been proud to share with BBA’s viewers. But behind the scenes, it just seems like it’s been one setback after another!

In less than three months, I’ve already had to deal with being sick twice (once with the flu), traveling out of town for a family funeral, a painful root canal and major dental surgery, AND my computer crashing last week – a complete hard drive failure that wiped everything out. Luckily I had all the important stuff backed up, but it’s still been a time-consuming pain in the ass trying to get everything set up and running smoothly on a new computer.

Despite all of this going on behind the scenes, I’ve still been trying my best to update the site as early each weekend as possible, usually on Friday or Saturday.

Unfortunately, that’s just not going to be possible this weekend, as I’ll be busy filming new content and working hard to make up for lost time. I still plan to update the site, but it won’t be until later in the weekend or possibly even early next week. If all goes well, the update will actually be a hot shoot that I have planned for tomorrow night (I will try to share some hot-off-the-press screenshots if I have time).

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up so you don’t waste your Friday night on your phone or computer, refreshing your browser every five minutes looking for the next BBA update 😉 ! (I tease with love as a fellow porn fanatic who’s been there myself plenty of times, LOL).

Wish me luck with the filming, and trust me when I tell you that I have some exciting things in store for the weeks ahead!

Website Update: Whether He Wants It Or Not

Posted by Michael on January 19th, 2015

“Every man loves the thrill of the hunt.” — Saint

I’ve been wanting to get my horny hands on Legacy ever since he was just a cute black teen trying amateur porn for the very first time almost three years ago.

For nearly three years, Legacy has turned down my advances with nothing but contempt and disgust, swearing that a scene with me is something he would NEVER in a million years ever do! “Lhh that’s never gonna happen,” he replied in one of his texts. “I don’t care how much money you payin’ me!” One time he even called me a “cracker” and proudly declared that he was one BBA model I would NEVER get my old white hands on. Of course this only fueled my lust for Legacy even more 😉 !

Even after having to fire him for being one of the most difficult models I’ve ever worked with – including QUITTING at least two of his shoots – part of me has still always wanted to sample this cocky and seemingly unattainable black boy for myself.

So when Legacy recently swallowed his pride and contacted me out of the blue, telling me that he’d “reached hard times” and needed some work, my sadistic side couldn’t help but try to find out JUST HOW FAR he’d be willing to go in order to repair the bridges he’d burned….
