Here’s Who Will Win At The 2012 Cybersocket Awards

Despite adding and removing nominees after voting was closed (I thought nominees were based on fan votes?), ongoing industry grumblings about winners being selected based on advertising dollars spent on the website or in the magazine (although, are people even buying print ads in 2012?), and the failed attempt to garner mainstream buzz after shamelessly nominating Chris Crocker in the …

BUTT Magazine Is A Porno Curator Now

A sleazy gay hotel (update: not sleazy! not sleazy!) asked Butt Magazine to curate its VOD gay porn collection. Butt Magazine was like, “Okay!” and now the hotel’s database contains bunny ear orgies, 3-D cumshots and at least one tranny mangina. What ever happened to firefighters and locker rooms?

Talking Dirty With… the VGL Gay Boys

IN-pornmemoirs.jpg

When reading Michael Lucas’ bio we realized we’ve read our fair share of gay porn star biographies and autobiographies. It’s no surprise that there’s always been a demand for sordid tales of lives in the sex industry, but unfortunately few porn stars have had the self-discipline to tell their stories in a compelling or coherent way. Often, it’s the ones who do that don’t really have anything to say.

Maybe you’re looking for a light and trashy book to read by the pool this summer,

GayVN Nominations Announced

This may be the first year that the GayVNs best the Golden Globes in viewership, and we couldn’t be more pleased: not only has our industry’s little fete grown in recent years, the clothes are more exciting.
