I wish there was more Italian gay porn. Lucas Kazan was very BA but with more mature men. Still kind of sappy. I think the state of the industry (in decline, self-producing) means we’re unlikely to see much break-out new talent on the production side. It’s all very star-driven. As much as I like him, we’re doomed to a future of charismatic Rhyheims smoking up and fucking down in resort hotel rooms for the foreseeable future.

The cultural divide between European and American porn is a perpetual mystery. Too bad all of Europe isn’t like Italy. You show me one straight Italian porno that is antiseptic and lifeless. I think straight Italian men get more turned on by other guys’ cum than I do. But move a few countries over, and it’s like watching Marcel Marceau trying to mime his way through sex.

As I said, they may be in production again, but this does not look new.

This. I have other issues, as you can see, with BA content being too sterile or mechanical. But I don’t care when they made it.

Yeah, but the sex is usually as steamy as Ellen and Portia scissoring for hours on end. It’s like two Ken dolls rubbing their moundless crotches together.

Yeah, I’m fine with that. I know other people want to feel that the action they’re watching just happened, but it’s not like watching Thriller-era Michael Jackson lip sync to his “I Want You Back” voice. I think it’s great that they have an endowment, so to speak, that can make the supply of cock and cum seem endless. Old scenes don’t bother me if I have never seen them. Too bad SC didn’t have an unreleased archive from the era of Duke, David, Dane, Willis, Brooks, Christian, and so forth.

BA guys typically have far more chemistry than guys from most US studios, imo.

My hunch is they have been making new videos. Most Czech Republic restrictions have been lifted since May or earlier. Besides BA has deep enough pockets to do regular and quick testing if that is still a concern over there.

My hunch is that Bel Ami has a huge stock of in-the-can footage (which doesn’t mean they’re not churning away despite the quarantine). They regularly release new scenes that were filmed 2 to 3 years ago. Models go from being swole beasts to wispy twinks from one day to the next…
