Bel Ami: Jack Harrer, Dylan Maguire and Marcel Gassion in ‘Jack Goes Wild’

Tempest says:

I may not like BelAmi because the sex is a little bit boring for me to watch, but something I can’t deny is their production value. Seriously, they make them look like some Greek Gods, the camera work is on point, no dark areas, good amount of closeups/undercarriage shots.

More studios should follow their example, that’s how you shoot gay porn ffs.

He can handle “a few more boys”, what he needs is a DP, at least one.

moondoggy says:

They really don’t embrace some kinds of diversity, which is a shame; but “exactly the same” is overstated. These guys look different.

You know that until their liberation from Germany in 1945 there were no Blacks in the Czech republic or much of eastern Europe for that matter, and it is just since the fall of the Berlin Wall that their numbers have started to grow. (Thank you Google) Honestly I have never seen a single minority of ANY kind represented there. From the pieces I just read, it isn’t that they are discriminated against or frowned upon, there simply just aren’t even enough of them to register them as a segment in the population.

Those that are there seem to be quite well received, thought of as unusual, and beautiful. Although most are there via student visas or other diplomatic purposes and simply decided to make it their home. THAT alone would explain why there is no “diversity” at BelAmi, as such a segment is well healed enough life in porn is not even a thought let alone means for survival.

I find it uniquely telling that matters of race are of zero consequence in a country that has no preconceived notions either way. Perhaps the “Wall” having insulated that place against so much of the really nasty realities taking place on the other side was not such a bad thing after all. In this day it is hard to imagine a place with underdeveloped racial bias, yet there it does seem to be the case. Making it a more appealing place by the second.

“I hope you know I wasn’t making excuses for them”

I thought you were, yeah. But that’s not the same as defending them, which I didn’t think you were doing. Either way, thanks for the follow-up.

“I have never really followed WH,”

History lesson. I’m not THAT old, and much of what I was into was before my time. But before the Internet had graphics, it was useless for porn research. The only way to score good porn was trial and error, and a porn “movie,” 90 minutes long typically, cost 50 to 80 dollars. The way not to get burned was to find a studio (Falcon, Colt) or a director (John Travis, Matt Sterling, William Higgins) that you liked, and roam the earth trying to find everything they ever made. Of course, it was possible to rent movies, but not every store did than and anyway, that was no bargain either unless you had two VCRs and duped wha t you rented. … Not that I ever did that.

“I haven’t subbed at BelAmi for years, mainly because the sex is just bland. I can appreciate the trailers for the beautiful new faces, but till they fix that it’s all they get from me.”

omg, don’t remind me. The men are so fucking beautiful that I’m dying to just get past that, and with Adam Archuleta and one or two others, I can. Jack is such a pig that I think his scenes are different. And Kris with that huge dick and those low hangers — I at least will watch his scenes once when I come across them. But as I’ve said here in the past, in order not to become a hoarder, I have limited myself to only the most elite stars (Vander, Tomas, more recently Bishop Angus and Manuel Skye) or to scenes that end with guys who can pull out (or not) and ejaculate without an edit. I don’t think I have ever witnessed such a scene in Bel Ami’s history. I’m convinced the models could manage it easily but the company doesn’t pursue it. (Again, they want to keep their formula.)

I’ve gone on way too long, but if you have any tolerance for vintage porn, watch Sailor in the Wild, and try to watch it as a movie all the way through. I think it’s the greatest porn “movie” ever made. Google it with quote marks, the whole thing is streamable. I’d post a link but I’m guessing that’s not allowed here. I would buy it on blu ray if they would remaster it.

It is the greatest porn ever made. Bill Henson was amazing, but my favorite part is probably the sex on the beach, with the waves and the music and the sunset.

moondoggy says:

I could Talk. Your. Ear. Off. And your other parts.

What makes it the best ever is that there really is a story there, and an interesting one at that. Even the solos are meaningful. What makes the movie so good is that you end up arguing with yourself about the hottest parts. I love the night scene before the one you’re talking about. The idea that two guys could be closeted to their friends about their sexual relationship while still stripping completely naked and fucking right next to them as they sleep is bizarrely believable and hot in the context of the story — it’s like, “I’m not going to rub it in your face, but if you catch me, hey, we’re all adults here.” But also, Rick Donovan as the pool boy — his shorts would make any list of the most erotic clothing items in porn history.

As incredible as the current age of porn is, something like the sensation created by The Black Spark shows that porn has become a scorched imagination desert. Who besides Men at Play and Mormonboyz even gives any thought to what the men are wearing before they fuck? Most of us, every single day, see someone on the street who is not naked but who sends our imaginations racing with a bulge or a peek of chest hair — or god forbid a cruisy stare that turns into a nod of approval but nothing else except the fantasy of what might have been. Yet “drop your drawers and suck” is the most we can hope for in terms of foreplay or fantasy in porn.

Sorry, that sermon just slipped out.

I’ll have a look.

moondoggy says:

Sex workers travel all over the world for all sorts of reasons. The idea that no non-white models have passed through Prague long enough to become available to Bel Ami or that they couldn’t incur the expense once or twice a year if they had any interest is just not plausible to me. Would you like to help me start a Gofundme page and see just how fast we could raise 1,000 dollars to fly Pheonix over there to bottom for Zac DeHaan or flip fuck with Adam? If I thought it would happen, I would pony up the first hundred right now.

If Africa is unsafe for gay porn, what are they doing there? Unsafe how?

@disqus_BIDJtBf3zj:disqus (flagging this so you’ll see it too.)

“The Czech Republic isn’t exactly a gay or economic mecca, so no, I really don’t see sex workers traveling there unless they’re from even poorer Eastern European countries.”

From the Bel Ami website’s updates page: “Christian Lundgren, Ryan Rose
11/11/2018.”

This is not even about “I told you so.” This is about my rage at Bel Ami going out of their way to unretire a basic bitch who won’t do a scene without a condom even though he started his career as a resident cum dump BEFORE Truvada.

I hope you know that despite the fact our tastes are not always sharing the same moon, I respect both your opinions and your input and very much trust your information.. I know how I come across sometimes – I totally own my “inner asshole” lol. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6ba260cdfa527d4a381040d1d593198b0b1b3bdda8efeb8c1cd3910f21840fbc.gif

moondoggy says:

Didn’t Darius (I always want to write Daryus) Ferdynand work with them once, too? I don’t get why they settled for Ryan regardless of the arrangement. And lest I be accused a total hypocrite, I will add that I think when Ryan arrived at Falcon, he was looking very fetching. I didn’t care much for him at Sean Cody for the same reason, the peer group was too hot. This is the same studio as Marshall and Dane, for chrissakes. But there was Ryan in seemingly every other update. I’d kill for that to be their only problem now. But I digress.

moondoggy says:

Seriously? This guy? That’s a real bummer. At this site I almost always assume guys don’t come back because we and Sean Cody need them more than they need us!
