The Cybersocket web awards happened last night in West Hollywood, and if you have space or energy in your life to pay attention to more than one gay porn awards ceremony, allow me to tell you who won.
NakedSword’s own Mr. Pam was the MC for the evening, and our favorite drag queen freedom fighter and porn pundit Sister Roma was in the house, and thankfully she took home this year’s prize for Best Personality. She beat out a field of thousands for the award, so CONGRATS, ROMA!!
And for the second year in a row, CockyBoys raked in the prizes, including the prize for Best Newcomer last year it went to Levi Karter, and this year it went to Tayte Hanson, go figure.
Here’s the rundown:

What competition? The Cybersockets are just a “rewards program” for advertisers. Anyone who thinks there’s actual voting going on here can make an offer on this bridge I have for sale.
I’m glad that cockyboys got some recognition, and while I do think some of the stuff on their site is really good I never would have given them best site. Newcomer was in no way Tatye…I don’t know who would have gotten picked but it would not have been him. And come on Durano as best porn star ?????????? Who judged that…? How many times can his creepy other half Christian Owen vote ?
You shouldn’t take these awards serious. A lot of studios did not compete for these awards. If you want to award the best tablet but you leave out Apple’s Ipad what do you get?
Durano winning best porn star really demonstrates what is wrong with the gay porn industry. If the most boring and mechanical performer can win this than anyone can. I would give a straight guy a pass since you know they are not that into it. But Durano constantly appears bored or is a screaming bottom that they force him to top. Why wont he be versatile? He has a decent body but that is no reason to give him the honor of best porn star. He can barely cum in his scenes. I could care less though.
So right! Durano is one of the worst things in gay porn. These ‘award’ shows are a joke…just big ads for the highest payer….claiming that Cockyboys is the best in anything is a pure joke.
The only one I agree with is Kink.com for Best Hardcore Site.
All the others upon reading I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I wonder how much CockyBoys paid CyberSocket to win Movie of the Year, Best Video Site, Best Content Producer, and Tayte Hanson for Best Newcomer?!?!?!
I love kink too but since they got rid of gay group sex with Bound in Public, I hate them and am no longer a member. Not saying they are anti-gay but I may not agree with them toning down their stuff but they could have at least replaced Bound IN Public with a gay gang bang site like they did with their bound gangs on the straight side.
They’re not anti-gay. The fired one of their directors on the straight side and kept both gay directors so I’m pretty sure they’re not anti-gay. They’re just trying to be more vanilla now… whatever that means.
Cockboys have some great videos, but they didn’t deserve almost every award. Just saying!
