At the Leathermart this past weekend, during International Mr. Leather weekend in Chicago, there was this latex cube thing that the boys could climb in, they’d suck out all the air, and voila: instant boy cube.
With shifts in the gay industry press, the Grabbys may soon be the only gay porn awards in town. And if they continue to be as exciting as this year’s, we don’t think anyone will complain.
The Sword is in Chicago for The Grabbys and the International Mr. Leather competition, but we aren’t leaving you behind. In fact, we’re hoping you’ll come rescue us.
This year’s nominees for the Grabby Awards–which round out the ever-glamorous gay porn awards season with a ceremony/party in Chicago, two months after the GayVN Awards–have been announced!
Porn stars’ boyfriends: they’re just like us! Except for the dating a porn star thing. Below, pictures and a poll.
We’ve been super lazy about updating the Lunchtime Poll, but here you go, kids.
When porn star manager David Forest sold Forest Entertainment to former rival Fabscout Model Management in June, it was the end of an era.

In addition to shooting our various Original Productions, which also often feature candid footage and even more candid talks with the producers, filmmakers and stars of the adult industry, The Sword has been making and collecting these documentary clips behind the scenes and on the sets of porn productions around the globe. You’re welcome.
We know we spend our days staring at ill-placed tattoos and perineum piercings, and evidently we’re not the only ones. After reporting last Friday on Zeb Atlas’s first on-screen anal, there was a furious chase to identify the lucky bottom, based primarily on a few shots of a distinctive tribal design on the bride’s thigh. Damian Rios, Martin Mazza, Johnny Hazzard were all contenders, but the winning answer?
Who said romance was dead?
What started out with Francesco D’Macho flirtatiously filling Damien Crosse with his piss at the Grabby Awards this past May seems to have blossomed into a full-blown love affair this past week when the two were reunited for Madrid Pride.
Feelings seems to be mutual. Both have since posted entries on their blogs
Care of The Sword’s tireless editors, we bring you this roundup (by
no means complete, or even-handed) of stuff going on for those of the
homo persuasion this weekend in the two meccas we currently have
bandwidth to cover, San Francisco and New York. Check back soon to see
us cover more gay urban centers near you (sorry, Cheyenne, we may never
get to you).
