We love when porn stars start their own blogs. Especially new porn stars. Then we get to go through all their trials and travails as they learn to navigate the industry--and deal with the inevitable assholes they encounter. The latest model to share his deep, deep thoughts is new Cockyboys exclusive Max Ryder. The 19-year-old Connecticut native has only done a couple of scenes, but he's already blogging away in hopes of "letting my fans not only into my world, but also behind it". This means sharing his experiences on the set (of his first duo with Tommy Defendi he writes, "I mean Tommy's dick is the size of a plump cucumber and here I am getting ready to put something inside me that was nearly half my size. [But] the whole time he took care of me and made sure he wasn't rupturing any of my internal organs.") and off. That includes his grooming habits (tanning and teeth whitening), budding relationships with other porn stars (old-timer Pierre Fitch sent him flowers!) and even what he really feels about fellow exclusive (and nemesis!?) Jake Bass ("In no way do I hate him."). The site is part professional (Ryder plugs his upcoming projects, including the recently filmed Project: Go-Go Boy in Montreal) and part personal (cute pics from his everyday exploits). It's all sweet, innocent fun and rather precious--well, as precious as a teenage twink who takes it up the butt can be! To learn more about this rising star, visit MaxRyder.com.

Well, isn't this refreshing!? A porn star who actually appreciates his fans and the industry! Titan Men's studly exclusive Jesse Jackman recently posted a blog at his site titled "A Word of Gratitude" in which he gave props to his peeps. "I just wanted to say thank you to everyone out there who's been so supportive over these last several crazy months," Jackman writes. "Whether you're a personal friend, a Facebook fan, a Twitter follower or a tacit observer, I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you. This has been an incredible journey of self-discovery for me; I'm thrilled to be able to share it with you, and also deeply honored that you've chosen to take part." And those who have taken in one of Jackman's films, which include Command Performance, Surveillance and Incubus 2 with this doll, know that he is a big, hairy man with a mind-bendingly bent penis! Jesse promises an upcoming scene with real-life boyfriend Dirk Caber and a new movie with legendary director Joe Gage. The 38-year-old Boston native will also be at the Grabbys Awards and International Mr. Leather in Chicago later this month. So keep your eyes peeled for this hirsute hottie, and tell him that it's been our pleasure.

Fan favorite Bobby Clark is making a comeback for Cockyboys (the place where he got his start in 2008), just in time for Phenix Saint to retire! It's been announced that Clark has filmed a new scene with Saint, who is turning 30 and packing it in (from the porn industry anyway). "I've had a great ride in this business," Saint says. "It has allowed me to do and see things I might have never had the chance to do or see otherwise. I wouldn't want my last scene to be with anyone else."
So Clark, who hasn't been seen on-screen in a couple of years, it is. These guys actually shot a scene together for the online studio four years ago. In that outing, Clark topped Saint. But now, a moaning and groaning Clark goes bottoms up for the departing screen stud.
Cockyboys is saying that this duo is one for the history books--for more reasons than one! To find out why, visit Cockyboys.com.

Classic beauty never goes out of style. That's why Tom of Finland's venerable artwork continues to be widely seen. The latest exhibition of his epic drawings is currently up and running at the World Erotic Art Museum in Miami Beach. Coinciding with the Miami Beach Gay Pride festivities a couple of weeks ago, Tom of Finland: Male Masterworks features five decades of the prolific artist's work. The 20 original drawings and paintings show, in chronological order, the development of his techniques and the diversity of his subject matter. A new video tribute and rare vintage memorabilia of the artist from Finland are also part of the exhibition. Together, they illustrate how Tom (real name: Touko Laaksonen) continues to influence culture by challenging gay stereotypes. His depiction of übermasculine men freely enjoying their sexuality has had an important effect on our gay (and straight) world.
And what better place to display it than in Florida's premier coastal resort town? "Miami Beach is a vital art center and Male Masterworks is a great opportunity to celebrate Tom--both as a liberator and as an artist", says S.R. Sharp, VP and curator for the Tom of Finland Foundation. Although Tom passed away in 1991, his good works continue through this group. Formed in 1984, the Tom of Finland Foundation is a nonprofit educational archive that protects, preserves and promotes erotic art and encourages healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality. The exhibition runs through July 31. For more information, visit TomOfFinlandFoundation.org.

We're about to get all wrapped up in a new bondage site! The talented creators behind KinkMen are prepping the ropes and chains for MenonEdge.com, which promises studs "tied up and begging to cum". The spin-off site will offer scenes from big-name talent such as Mitch Vaughn, Marc Dylan, Jessie Colter and Trent Diesel. But for now, we'll have to make due with teenager Cody Allen in a surprisingly hard-core preview scene. The lightweight twink gets tied up and blindfolded while his mouth and ass are mercilessly pounded. After some flogging and prolonged edging, 19-year-old Cody gets rewarded with a vibrating dildo where the sun don't shine. He begs to jizz and eventually gets his wish. Okay, so he's a bit young to be doing such heavy-duty stuff. But the makers of BoundGods, BoundinPublic and NakedKombat know what they're doing, so we'll be hanging on until the new site launches. Stay tuned!

Okay, so everyone in the industry is falling down and wetting themselves over hot newbie Jimmy Fanz. And we're no different. (Even though we might have been there first!) We, along with every other blog, recently reported that the hairy stud has just signed an exclusive deal with Raging Stallion/Falcon Studios. True, he has previously appeared in online scenes for Dominic Ford, Bait Buddies and Circle Jerk Boys. But those lucky enough to see his live cam debut on Sunday night got a hint of what might be in store for Fanz at the big-time studios. His perfectly toned (and did we mention hairy?!) body, chest and pits were on full display, but so was a shy sweetness that only the very young (and very new) to the industry can muster. Jimmy slowly jacked and interacted with fans in the chat area. No, he is not into spit. Yes, he does work out a lot. (Duh!) But as he worked on his thick cock, Fanz was mostly reticent but quietly focused. Until he spread wide and delivered a juicy pop shot, which he then gobbled up. The last pic above finds him looking pretty pleased with himself. And why shouldn't he be? The chat crew ate it up, too! Look for him in RSS's upcoming Fucked Down and Jocks's Knockouts & Takedowns.

Leave it to NYC nightlife impresario Daniel Nardicio to think up a gay game show in which hairless twinks do stunts in their undies. In fact, on The Boing! Show, everyone is in their underwear, including the audience! Nardicio, in collaboration with Dirty Boy Video, hosted and produced the lighthearted online show in a studio in Brooklyn. Cute contestants JT, Aiden (this Cher fan from Syracuse is our personal fave), Andrew and Paul battle it out, competing in various physical challenges, some of which leave them soaking wet! There's the ever-popular "balloon bust," in which the guys have to pop balloons using only their hot bodies. Little do they know that the balloons are filled with Boing! Show slurry (sorta like gay green slime)! They also eat "bubblegum pie" (get to the bottom and blow) and catch Ping-Pong balls in their briefs (ouch!). It's all crazy, kooky and good clean (faggy) fun. To watch the episode, visit TheBoingShow.com. And to enter the inspired madness of DWorld, go to DanielNardicio.com.

Wow! It seems like only yesterday that adorable Andrew Jakk was signing as a Falcon Studios exclusive. Well, time flies and things change. The cute newcomer is still doing the exclusive thing, but now it's for Randy Blue. His first scene for the online studio is a solo. Actually, Andy isn't totally alone as he grabs a Fleshjack to get his jack on. The 24-year-old blondie from Detroit is looking more grown-up (and furrier!) than in previous scenes--and therefore is hotter than ever! Plus, he's a nominee for Best Newcomer at the Grabby Awards in Chicago next month. To see his Randy Blue debut, click here.

And he's playing a doctor on TV! Yes, that is onetime Titan Men exclusive superstar Dean Flynn. Only now, looking a bit more, er, mature following a two-year break from the industry, he's starring in a new movie for Hot House Entertainment. Malpractice is the vehicle that is bringing handsome Dean back to salivating porn fans, and he's still as hot and hung as ever. Christian Owen is directing him in his comeback scene with humpy Trenton Ducati. We've heard that Flynn took the time off to return to school. We do know that he's been living quietly in Chicago but is now ready to make a sexy splash once again. And this time, he's wearing a white coat (though not for long...see above!) and is making housecalls. Hello, doctor! For more information on Dean Flynn and Malpractice, visit HotHouse.com.

Death in the porn world is no different than in mainstream entertainment. In fact, some say that porn fans develop a deeper connection with our idols because we get to know them in such "intimate" ways. As most Whitney Houston queens know by now, time heals some but not all wounds. And fans of dancer Spencer would probably agree. It's been two months since the loss of the budding young star who shot for both ManifestMen and ParagonMen. We knew him as a go-go god at Adonis Lounge in NYC, but his great potential was clear to anyone with two eyes. "His physical attributes were obvious and striking, overshadowed only by his honesty, loyalty and character as a man," promoter Timothy de Iturriaga says. "We lost a very special person."
The Adonis crew recently held a fund-raiser to honor Spencer's memory. With the help of Swinging Richard's in Miami and Atlanta, and some private donors, the Adonis Lounge raised more than $2,000 for Spencer's family, so they would know how many lives he touched in his own short life. "I often make light of this eccentric world of male strip clubs and strippers," de Iturriaga adds, "but being in a position to organize this fund-raiser in Spencer's memory truly showed it can be much more."
The donations were also put toward a playground, which will be named in Spencer's honor, and a portrait of the buff 22-year-old bodybuilder, which you see above. Titled Portrait of Spencer in Shadow and Light, the oil-on-canvas painting was done by New York painter John Hyland, based on a photograph by Jason Jaskot. The artwork, like Spencer's memory, will live on for his family, friends and fans.
