BelAmi: Scandal in the Vatican

Here's a look the one-page ad appearing in XBiz/September. How's that for a DIFFERENT porn campaign? It doesn't reveal much, but it sure will get everyone's attention: marketing 101!

WHEN IN MADRID is live

Good things come to those who wait... You have long asked for sex-pig Damien Crosse to be paired with Ettore Tosi. So when we began planning production for WHEN IN MADRID, I knew I had to make it happen. We filmed in Chueca, Madrid's lively gay district --just a few days before Gay Pride. Perfect place at the right time, if you ask me, to celebrate gay sex at its hottest. No, neither Damien nor Ettore is 'gay-for-pay' --and one can tell. Damien is famously married to Francesco D'Macho, Ettore is a bisexual Italian stud attracted to men more than he is to the girls. Needless to say, I had the easiest job in the world: rolling cameras and letting these two hunks go loose.

Blond. Beefy. Italian

Tiziano hails from Puglia (Southern Italy): what, ice-cold blue eyes and blond hair? Look closer: his full lips and his cheek bones will reveal his Mediterranean heritage. Men from Puglia are known to be 'endowed' and Tiziano's uncut cock is no exception.

Interview with LucasKazan on iReadAdult

iReadAdult #7 (September 2012) publishes a candid interview. Here a few excerpts.

How long have you been in porn? What changes have you seen in the industry since your start?

I started with Gino's sets back in '93... What changed in these 19 years? Everything. Back then, there used to be a few visionary players --both in production and in distribution. Today, everyone with a $300 handycam and an Xtube channel is his own producer. The studios that contributed to shaping the business are no longer: Catalina, AllWorlds, Studio2000...  Big budgets and production values, gone;  auteur porn,  story-driven and visually-driven porn... gone. Instead, 'corporate' porn has taken over --often with gimmicky properties and pseudo-amateur camera work. Media and viewing habits have shifted: from VHS/DVD to the internet realm of now-free-and-everywhere. Piracy has quickly devalued adult content to the point consumers no longer see a need to pay more than a $1 trial and producers no longer see the need to support it with adequate  budgets and broader ambitions. Blogs, tubes and affiliate links have replaced the old, passionate reviews. Can you imagine what would've happened to Bresson or Fellini in a traffic-driven environment? Then you have brand-new forms of adult entertainment --with nothing to do with the pre-recorded content I first fell in love with: live cams, dating sites, cruising sites. It's a whole new game, really!



If you had never started doing porn, what would you be doing right now?

Let me rephrase the question: would I start doing porn today? No... What attracted me to it as an art-form is no longer. What attracted me to it as a film genre is no longer. Same goes with porn as an industry: we've lost well over 50% of revenues to piracy and 'free porn':  it's no longer fun, really. We all work ten times harder to make ten times less. Whereas we used to take risks, invest time and money, patiently hone our craft, play with form/content, take pride in our accomplishments and in our failures,

Anything else you want to tell us?

Let's end on a more optimistic note. The magnificent porn features of the late 70s - 80s had in fact developed from the 'loops' of the early 70s: reality porn and pseudo-amateur porn as we experience online these days are somewhat similar to those old 8mm loops, poorly lit, blocked, shot, edited. What kind of porn will develop in the next few years? How will it look like? Which needs will it answer? Which aesthetics? These are the questions that keep me going and, once in a while, get me all excited.

Behind the scenes with Ettore and Damien

Filmed in Spain's capital at the eve of GayPride, WHEN IN MADRID debuts on lucaskazan September 6th. Production took place in Chueca, Madrid's world-famous glbt district. An area smaller than West Hollywood. But jam-packed with clubs, disco-bars, cafes and... pornstars. Over a few short days, we spotted just about everyone you can think of: from Staghomme's residents
Goran and Francesco D'Macho to Italian Alex Marte and American Spencer Reed... We even ran into retired Pietro Rosselli of KristenBjorn fame, visiting from Argentina. Here's a look at Ettore Tosi and Damien Crosse in Chueca and around the 'Gran Via'.

On porn and romance

"Men romantically connected present an incredible image", writes a fan on our Facebook page. I agree. Historically though, porn and romance have seldom mixed. While one can find a few rare exceptions as early as back in the 70s (Tom DeSimone's "The Idol", for instance), Falcon waited till 1988 for its very first love story with "Touch Me" (FVP 60). After many, many years of casual sex, predatory sex, acrobatic sex --but hardly any intimacy at all (and certainly NO kisses). "Touch Me" paved the way for the many love stories of the 90s and yet, to this very day, 'raunch' far outsells (and outnumbers) them. What is it about our fantasies that privilege casual play, abuse and gay-for-pay over a romantic connection? Yesterday it was Jeff Stryker, today it's online properties like HazeHim or SausageParty or Baitbus... Wondering...

No reason for this post... except I looove this picture: both the beauties in the foreground (Mick, Kris, Dolph) and the lush, tropical background. The jacuzzi isn't bad either. ©BelAmiOnline

Sneak preview: WHEN IN MADRID

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

New download: Glenn and Lucas

Hungarian stud Glenn and Brazilian body-builder Lucas are two of the most reserved, quiet models I've worked with. But when the lights are on and cameras are rolling, they transform into powerful sex machines. Glenn is known to fans mostly as an aggressive bottom. He asked to top for a change: Lucas couldn't wait. Their scene is now downloadable --DRM free-- in the members' area. Enjoy.

Jean and Ricky

Jean Franko (from Venezuela) and Ricky Martinez (from Mexico) had a fling while in production in Southern Italy. Unbeknown to us and the rest of the crew... (I'm always the last one to find out anyhow). Their on-camera coupling was pretty hot: can you even imagine their private romp?

A hot Summer?

Here's a turquoise pool and a gorgeous behind to help you cool off at LucasKazan : can you tell whom that behind belongs to? Yes, it's Karel Rok's...

Gennaro and Erik

Tall, slender Gennaro drills muscular Erik: both tall (6 feet), both hung (8 inches), these two couldn't wait to get their hands on each other. Gennaro identifies himself as straight but has zero hang-ups --he'd fuck anyone and anything. Erik is gay and 100% versatile, but we suspect he's more into bottoming. Just watch him devour Gennaro's cock with gusto!

New download: The Pizza Boys

What's more fun than making pizza from scratch with your boyfriend? Hmm, fooling around with your boyfriend, while pizza is in the oven? Italian stud Daniele Montana and Giuseppe Pardi give you a taste of Italian cuisine... and Italian love-making. The Pizza Boys is now downloadable --DRM free-- in the members' area.
