This highly infectious virus thingy, which there is no treatment and vaccine for and over 60.000 Americans have already died from, surely has been an annoying disruption to our lives, hasn’t it? Hopefully it will become SAFE for porn studios to begin filming again in a couple months. Until then, wash your hands and avoid people as much as you can and STAY ALIVE to see exactly what SC considers to be “New and Exciting” on May 8th.

They could’ve simply said “We give no fucks this week because we want to get a jump on Cinco de Mayo.” https://media2.giphy.com/media/91yVUkHqyB4yY/giphy.gif

John Doe says:

Trololol.
They’re running out of crappy scenes.
Looks like it’s going to be one every other week.

MisterB says:

WEEKLY releases will resume Friday, May 8th.” If all their scenes are “crappy” to you, why are you still here? So, if you go to a restaurant and don’t enjoy your meal at all, you keep returning to the same restaurant and order the same meal? And somehow that makes sense to you? Very Interesting.

Alann6 says:

Not getting what we paid for from MindGeek!!

MisterB says:

HI Alann6. The highly infectious coronavirus that over 60,000 Americans have DIED from has put a slight “WRINKLE” in business-as-usual all over the place. Been grocery shopping lately? If you are a subscriber my advice is to use the SC Chat Service on their website and ask if they plan to extend your subscription at no cost. Hopefully in a couple months it won’t be DANGEROUS to begin filming again. In the meantime, stay safe…wear a mask…wash your hands and…1,2,3…SNAP…4,5..SNAP, SNAP! REPEAT!

Curlee says:

new and exciting? I will not hold my breathe. SC hasn’t done anything new and exciting in years.

trumn10 says:

5 years, and 4 months actually. I’m sure they are extending subscriptions for the reduction in scenes per week, and now 0 scenes per week. Message to subscribers, don’t hold yoru breathe waiting for that to happen.

MisterB says:

Hi Curlee. The less jaded someone is the more exciting porn scenes will be. SC was actually on a roll before the deadly and highly infectious coronavirus came for a prolonged visit, killing thus far over 60,000 people. I’m thinking of Archie, Jeb and the return of NIxon and Rowan, and the addition of newbies like cute Levi and the continuation of handsome PROS like Jax, Brysen and the luscious Blake, etc. “NEW”? That has me curious. That has me very, very curious. What can be “NEW”? My curiosity has definitely been fully and excitedly awakened.

MisterB says:

Hi PP! Aren’t you a little bit curious about what is “New and Exciting” that is on it’s way? I am. Because the coronavirus has been so disruptive to “business as usual” in every aspect of our lives, I expect (and understand) glitches in the flow of porn that most likely will occur at other sites, as well, until it is safe to begin filming again. If there would just be an abundance of test kits available in the near future, porn performers could get tested before a shoot for the coronavirus, like they are for HIV. Couldn’t they? Fingers Crossed!

Bathings says:

Im like 80% positive this new and exciting thing is just a “at home” Homemade video” that seems to be the trend with porn these days.

Kj says:

They would have to bring back Shaw for me to bother.

MisterB says:

Do you mean like OnlyFans, or JustForFans? SC would start their own version of that? I can’t envision that, but if it is profitable…why not? That is not my guess but I’m not emotionally invested in you being wrong and me being right. Whatever will be will be. We’ll just have to wait and see. According to another gay website, it has to do with a well known porn star defecting to SC that they apparently are excited about and have already filmed in a 3-way.

Pineapple Passion says:

I expect interruptions too. What I didn’t expect is for SC to go half a month without releasing a scene. What I didn’t expect is for SC to wait a week until the day a scene is supposed to be released to say it’s going to be another week. What I didn’t expect is for them to continue to scale back the number of scenes in a week from how many to 3 to 2 to 1 to nothing. What I didn’t expect is for them to offer nothing to their subscribers for 2 weeks when no other American gay porn company is doing this to their customers. What I didn’t expect is for them to apparently offer nothing in the way of compensation for doing this. What I didn’t expect is for them to do this and say it’s in the ‘best interest of their fans’ when it obviously is not. What I didn’t expect is for them to do this when there are unreleased scenes in the vault.

This is lame. No if’s, and’s or but’s about it. I’m hopeful for the future and hopefully SC can rebound from this. But to see a top-notch site like SC pull this when lesser studios haven’t is just sad.

MisterB says:

I’m just in a different frame of mind, I can see, than most here. I am, quite honestly, unable to expect that I will go to the grocery store (when I absolutely HAVE to) and come back coronavirus free. I hope for that, but I’m not able to expect it. LOL I don’t expect business-as-usual anywhere, but ALL your points are valid, except they released a new update last week. I totally agree that as soon as SC knew that they were unable to release an update this week, a much earlier announcement would have been more than proper, here at WB. Whether or not they plan to offer compensation to their subscribers, I have no idea. But I agree that they should and subscribers have a right to get upset if SC does not. I’m just unable to get upset about a missed porn update. When I write ‘unable” I mean my heart LITERALLY will not allow me. Trump uses up all my abilities to get upset and there is not a lot left over for anyone or anything else. I just feel mostly empathetic all the time, these days, EXCEPT for Trump. 🙂

JK3 says:

What a mess. I bet that the “new and exciting” thing on the way is just OF style solo videos from models and cam shows. They clearly don’t have much of an archive which is just sad.

Rockhard says:

Which is a shame I know they got some scenes locked behind the vault. There is an unfinished Abe bottoming scene. I don’t care if it is bad, let’s see it. Now’s the time for studio to get innovative in showing different content.

Ben_theUNcoolhobo says:

DID YOU JUST SAY ABE? OMG!!!! WHAT??? HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luthor says:

Really? Please can you share what you know about this scene? How did u find out?

Kj says:

3 to 2 to 1 to 0 scenes a week
New and exciting must be how they have figured out how to take back scenes.

Gazzaq says:

HAHAHAHAHAH Sadly that’s about right!!!!!

trumn10 says:

it’s actually gone from every other day to 3 to 2 to 1 to 0. So actually worse than what you wrote. And I’d consider the inability to download without additional charge equivalent to taking back scenes.

Gazzaq says:

Oh Well at least we can go back and watch the scenes from the good old days.

trumn10 says:

Oh, yeah, subscribers can at least download those. Oops, I mean if you pay extra!

Gazzaq says:

Oh I forgot that its all changed now, as luckily I have few of their films for when I subscribe to them a few years ago before they were sold to Mind Geek….

joback says:

Honestly their updates have been so terrible for years this makes literally no difference.

BLACKjHAMMER says:

I really don’t give a FUCK if they ever come back !

Rockhard says:

And leave sites like Gayhoopla to replace them? That’s a massive downgrade

trumn10 says:

Not really, SC is so bad now it’s hard to tell them apart, they are both bad All sites have declined greatly, but SC more than all others. SC was far and away the best site many years ago.

Rockhard says:

What worked in the early 00s no longer works anymore. SC been coasting off of reputation for almost 7 years now. It died when it was sold to Mindgeek. If they can’t compete then it will probably just been thinned out into nothingness like what happened to randy Blue and other sites that are now considered vintage/nostalgia on pornhub

BLACKjHAMMER says:

Gayhoopla was always SUBPAR but Sean Cody was at the head of pack with a constant stream of top notch updates week after week to now SC in just a few short years has falling so far & so fast to the bottom of the heap primarily through cheaper standards from the models to the lousy photography and the stupid script is unacceptable if SC is going to promise change but deliver more of the same than they might as well NOT COME BACK !

elyp says:

They probably need to change their site name and logo to this

MisterB says:

I see “sour candy” written in the SeanCody logo, and I went to where you sent me to see where you got it. I just don’t understand what it means, and I saw no explanation for it. It’s something, I guess, that someone already needs to be “in the know” about. I’m not so I just don’t understand. I’m ready to laugh, if I could just get the joke. But I’m unable to get the joke. But thanks for trying. 🙂

elyp says:

Let’s just forget it, OK?

MisterB says:

Sure! I’ll google now and then to see if I can ever figure out the joke, if it is not something that you can explain. The Urban Dictionary explains Sour Candy as meaning “the best thing known to mankind”. I just did not get the sense that you meant that, but perhaps you did. But, you and I are good, as far as I’m concerned. Sometimes something will be posted here that I just don’t get and I’m sure that is because I’m just not up on a lot of the current pop culture and “lingo” and one then either knows something, or he doesn’t.

Kj says:

Models get nothing = New
Members get nothing = Exciting
Sean Cody retains their money. = New & Exciting starting May 8th.

BLACKjHAMMER says:

New & Exciting = More of the same

Tomcat says:

I have a strong preference for my models alive, not dead.

trumn10 says:

OK, then here is an idea, stop billing NOW and resume when you begin providing what subscribers have paid for.

Kj says:

This is exactly what any business with integrity would do in this situation. Has any other studio resorted to cutting back scenes ? Once again, models are not getting paid, customers are being shorted on what they paid for, yet SC keeps the money rolling in.

D Will says:

Both NextDoorStudios and Active Duty (under the same parent company) have. It seems like Corbin Fisher has as well but their posting schedule was all over the place before COVID-19 so who knows if it has any impact on them.

Pineapple Passion says:

If Corbin Fisher has, it’s only barely. I would say their average pre-pandemic was a new scene on the guy-guy side about every 3 days. Now it’s about 4 days. On that note, they’re had numerous new scenes with new models up lately.

D Will says:

i wasn’t complaining or anything. i like that they are using new models. i was just listing some of the sites that i know have reduce slowed or changed their release schedules.

trumn10 says:

Integrity– that is the word. Though that doesn’r seem to apply to this type of business. One of SC’s competitors still advertises 7 updates per week!

Funny.

MisterB says:

THANK YOU! It was great to see someone acknowledging the existence of the highly infectious Coronavirus. It has affected all aspects of our Society, including (of course) the Porn Industry. It may be a couple months or more before filming can safely begin. I was beginning to think I was in the Twilight Zone here, until your post arrived.

gaycockluvr says:

They knew this all week (likely longer than that) and just now announcing it? LOL

Kj says:

TRANSLATION:
Customer Service is as non-existent as new scenes at Sean Cody. Thankfully, I was a monthly member, are they refunding long term members ?

trumn10 says:

Sure.

James Freedman says:

I hope you know you are setting the bar high by saying “Something new and exciting is on the way!”…..make sure you deliver it….hope next video is either Jax or Jeb or Lachlan bottoming or Nixon bottoming again. If its none of these, sorry it ain’t exciting…..work ur magic guys!!!

Young Neil says:

As long as the “New and Exciting” thing isn’t 1 update every 2-3 weeks I guess this is okay. I was wondering which studio was going to run out of videoes first. At least Sean Cody seems to be honest about it and are not repackaging old content… that said, if they could remaster some of their old videos into 4K or 1080p magically I would be happy (but don’t replace the new updates if possible).

It is hard times though. Ain’t nobody gonna claim porn is “essential content”, and seeing this has got me thinking if Post COVID-19 lockdown, is SC going to be testing models or having their models testing for the virus before their shoots or just leave it to the models and “hope” for their best?

MisterB says:

Thanks Young Neil, for being one other person who acknowledged the existence of the deadly coronavirus as something to be considered and factored in. I was wondering the very same thing concerning “testing” before a shoot, like is done for HIV, whenever (if ever) test kits are readily and abundantly available for that to occur. Until there is a vaccine….what to do? What to do?

david david says:

People waited for the new scene this week. The least you could do if you couldn’t upload a new scene was to make a quick announcement but y’all couldn’t even do that. They were so quick to crack jokes on twitter but an important announcement like this was delayed? C’mon…

Also, y’all had Asher and Deacon do an IG live this week. An IG live, people. Let that sink in. There’s Asher and Deacon… with a camera… and you put them in a platform where all they could do was brush their damn teeth. Sean Cody…

https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/541a746a9995c554aabf0e2631890696e42b8b2f212a6633e2bc63f31512bb33.gif

elyp says:

I mean, they could’ve set up a webcam session for only two of them (do they even have one?) or make a Sean Cody Live in their own site to fill out their diminishing stock. Archie even willingly made an IG account because he had enouth time in his hand for duck’s sake.

david david says:

True. There are so many options that they can do. It doesn’t even have to be a live show. It could easily be a recorded show since a lot of their models have OnlyFans anyway. I believe @disqus_6nRkGdeR7U:disqus suggested here (or on that other site) a lot of options studios can explore when the whole thing was just starting, and apparently other studios listened or at least had the same ideas. Other studios are looking for alternative ways to keep their members entertained except for SC and that’s one reason why this whole thing was upsetting. Almost everyone of us here understands the ongoing situation and I don’t think anybody’s expecting them to deliver the same number of scenes they used to deliver, but what they did this week is just lazy and unprofessional. You can’t blame people for feeling scammed.

EDIT: I stand corrected. It wasn’t an IG Live but an IG “Takeover”. Either way, it’s dumb.

Parrin McCoy says:

Jeb bottom’s for Deacon…..and Jeb’s girlfriend watches.

MisterB says:

That would definitely be “exciting” (to me).

BLACKjHAMMER says:

Delusional Total Tops can dream also

MisterB says:

I agree that there should be some sort of recompense, even though the virus is not their fault and not something they could plan for. Go on their Chat Service at their website and state your position and ask if they are at least extending your service for a period of time. Just in case you do not go to a certain gay website (that must go unnamed), the “New and Exciting” thing is supposedly the appearance of a well known porn star, new to SC, who will perform in a 3-way. This will be the second 3-way within a short period of time, if it is to be released next Friday. HOW ARE YOU DOING? ❤️

Scrapple says:

My other comment is being held in moderation, but I thought of something I meant to add.

This isn’t directed at you, but I think it takes a lot of nerve for someone who doesn’t have a sub to SC to go around telling people who do have subs how they should feel about this situation. If I paid for a meal, and you’re outside looking in the window of the restaurant, you don’t get to tell me how I should feel about the restaurant’s service or the meal itself. I’m the one spending my money at this establishment. You’re the one picking up crumbs in the dumpster out back. If you want to have your own opinion on the matter, that’s perfectly fine. But don’t try to discredit the opinions of others when their opinion holds more weight, because they’re actually turning out their pockets.

Scrapple says:

Exactly. I’m not sure why people are getting this idea that if you’re disappointed with how SC is handling this it equates to you wanting models to be put into a dangerous situation. That’s an illogical correlation. Sean Cody has two couples (Josh&Brayden, Asher&Deacon) who are already filming their own content. They could’ve easily commissioned either or both of those couples to do a scene for the site, to help fill in a gap or two. Or they could do what other studios are doing, which is showcasing scenes from their sister/partner sites. Or they could do what other studios are doing, which is having models submit their own solos (since a lot of them have fan sites anyway) or duos (if they’re quarantined with a partner already). Or they could release any of the number vids they’ve kept hidden away. They have plenty of unreleased solos (I don’t think Austin Wilde’s solo ever got released), they have videos they’ve pulled (like that one model who lied and was working for Gay Hoopla), they have videos they’ve purposely shelved (like the alleged “cocaine fuck” with Kaleb and Murray). They could film new solos for new models under safer conditions, which would have the added benefit of not throwing models into a duo scene and you never hear from them again. They have plenty of options. Their solution was to drop down to one scene. That seems pretty unprofessional. Just like waiting to the eleventh hour to announce they weren’t doing an update, which I’m sure they knew at the beginning of the week (which is why they didn’t send a teaser like they normally do).

People have a right to take issue with this. Sean Cody has a history of half-assing it. They’ve put out scenes with glaring technical issues (bad audio, director’s audio, shoddy camera work, update doesn’t stream or download). They’ve missed updates. They’ve put updates up late. They tried to blur out a model’s confederate flag tat, then featured him in a scene the next week even with the controversy. They released a solo with a model who had already done a solo under a different name years before. They’ve hyped up returns and trips which have been pretty uneventful. Establishing goodwill with your customers base is how you ensure patience and loyalty when situations like this arise. It’s been a long time since Sean Cody worked on their goodwill.

MisterB says:

When my mother died we had not spoken for years. I gave up on her ever being “my pal”. There was nothing I wanted more than to be close to her. I think that is something in particular all gay men long for…being close to their mother and having a mother they can be close to. I did not. I’ve yet been able to mourn for her. That may happen when I, myself, are dying. I see I’m in a different mind state than most here, to answer how am I doing. I’m completely unable to get bent out of shape over small matters. Not unwilling but UNABLE. There is me trying/hoping to skirt the virus and not become a statistic, and there is me worrying for my roommate, and then there is everything else. STAY SAFE!

MisterB says:

There were the “fan favorites” back then, with a broader appeal, and the “others” with a more limited appeal, just as today, to the same degree, but fantastic performers never-the-less. What was different was the consistency of great film quality and skillful direction, which has begun to improve for a year or so now, but can not always be counted on. Among today’s misses there have also been hits. If you read the comments from yesteryear; folks were bitching back then, just as they are today, about the “good ol’ days” when the films were better. Tehehehehe! BTW…in case you do not know…Aiden still performs under the name TRYP BATES. I just happened to notice that a few weeks ago.

MisterB says:

A trip down memory lane, to when we were younger, can be a good thing. Aaaaaah, the fleeting “sweet bird of youth”. Aiden was among the more fervent performers, back then. Much like cock hungry Archie is today. Archie and handsome Jeb were quite dazzling together, I think. Also, among the recent videos with the performers whose good looks have the broader appeal, my eyes were dazzled by Jax and Jackson together. WOW! I could never unsee them, and I don’t wanna. Tehehehehe!

MisterB says:

You’ve given me WAY more credit than I deserve. I’ve not seen WAY more than I’ve seen, but it is the yesteryear SC’s I’ve seen the most of. We become Jaded. It is the “FIRST OFS” at SC that titillated us. Like the FIRST Internal, with Christian and Jarek. Or the FIRST time Felching occurred, I believe with Blake. Or the FIRST ass to mouth. I believe that was with Tanner. I remember when Jack was the first to finger a guy’s ass, and then put those fingers into his own mouth. We rubbed our eyes in disbelief with each FIRST and excitedly feasted on what eventually became “routine”, and now it is ….HO-HUM. But we long for how it once was when we were younger and felt “titillated” when porn was new to us and SC was leading the way in FIRSTS.

https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1f711d861c5b1ab244f0dea7cd87447b2dc2727b452b0fb6d117bfd4415843a0.gif

Pineapple Passion says:

I’m sorry B, but I’m not sure “SC was leading the way in firsts” is a wholly accurate statement. in terms of felching, if the first time it happened at SC was with Blake, the earliest that could have occurred was July 2013, when he debuted. CF’s Blake was felched by Aiden, and while I don’t know exactly when that scene was shot, CF’s Blake disappeared right around the time SC’s Blake debuted, so Corbin Fisher probably featured it first. In terms of a guy putting his fingers in another guy’s ass and then in his mouth, I distinctly remember CF’s Brent doing that, which would put it sometime in the late 2000’s, before SC’s Jack debuted. In terms of ATM, CF’s Cort did that in either 2011 or 2012 (with Aiden), a year or two before SC’s Tanner debuted. Also, CF’s first bareback scene was in either late 2005 or early 2006 (Cody-Dawson) many years before that was industry commonplace.

MisterB says:

“Passionate” being the operative word. SC is improving BUT there was a time (after it changed hands) that scenes became “Wham..Bam, thank you Sam”. That has been my biggest and most consistent complaint here, with the hope in mind that someone from SC actually reads the WB comments. It definitely has improved. To my mind, CockyBoys is now leading the way for how porn should be presented. PASSIONATE, romantic, erotic, intimate, tender….SLOW HANDS and an EASY TOUCH. Tehehehehe!

MisterB says:

I have no doubt that you are much more knowledgeable about Corbin Fisher than me. When I stopped noticing/following/seeing Corbin Fisher videos, way back in the early “Dawson” days, I never saw anything beyond “vanilla” sex, other than eventually there was barebacking. Then… I saw Jarek’s cum dripping down his cock that was still implanted inside Christian’s ass at SC, and the Heavens opened up and trumpets blared and angels sang. And then I kept seeing more FIRSTS occur at SC, making non-vanilla sex much more mainstream. But it is very possible that over at Corbin Fisher progress was being made as well, as competition heated up. My awareness of other studios became much more limited and it is good you corrected me and made the readers here more aware of CF’s impact. What was FIRSTS at SC may have just been FIRSTS for SC, and I stand corrected. 🙂

Scrapple says:

The same is true for the porn itself.
