Starting with The Pledge Masters in 1988, followed by New Pledgemaster in 1995 and Pledgemaster: The Hazing in 2009, This “Pledge Master” franchise is the gay porn classic from Falcon Studios (They seem to produce it every decade). Last week Chi Chi LaRue and Tony Dimarco co-directed the upcoming The Pledge. The movie features gay porn stars Devin Franco, Brandon Wilde, Steven Lee, Trevor Miller, Nic Sahara, Zak Bishop, Tyson Rush, Tristan Hunter, and the first ever gay porn scene of hot newcomer Colton Reece. It marks the first time Chi Chi LaRue directs a bareback movie.
Award-winning director Chi Chi LaRue is currently on set directing his first bareback, condom-free gay porn production of his career, ‘The Pledge’ for Falcon Studios. The feature picks up on the iconic Pledge Master franchise that began with 1988 Falcon super hit The Pledge Masters’ and was followed up with equally popular features ‘New Pledgemaster’ (directed by LaRue) and ‘Pledgemaster – The Hazing’.
‘The Pledge’, co-directed with Tony Dimarco and set for release in March 2019, has LaRue continuing the wildly successful series’ legacy with its first bareback installment.
Until now, LaRue spent his entire gay porn career as a staunch condom-only production proponent. Formerly and frequently criticizing studios that produced bareback content, Chi Chi did not take the decision lightly or hastily. “My criticisms in the past always came from a place of concern for the well-being of performers and from the responsibility I had for sending a message to viewers about the importance of safer sex practices,” sincerely states LaRue.
“Of course, this was a very big decision for me. I had to be confident that we would be in the safest space possible with the group that I could trust, and that’s why I chose to do it with Falcon Studios. I started working with the studio 30 years ago, right after the beginning of the AIDS crisis and when Chuck Holmes required condoms in all Falcon movies. Chuck made the right decision to send a message and to help stop more people from contracting HIV or dying from AIDS,” LaRue continued. “I would not have made the decision to direct a bareback production unless I could be 100% confident that all the proper procedures were followed, and I knew that Falcon Studios Group would handle all the protocols relentlessly.”
“Finally, if there is any confusion about what kind of message this might send. I will always champion the need for safer sex practices and encourage all our performers, viewers and fans to take care of their sexual health. It’s 2018, and there are many ways for us to stay safe and enjoy an active sexual life. Get tested, communicate with each other, learn about all the safer sex options available to you and make informed and healthy decisions that are right for you,” LaRue concluded.
“I know that making the decision to shoot his first bareback movie was a very big deal for Chi Chi,” stated Tim Valenti, Falcon Studios Group and NakedSword Network President. “I’m happy that he was most comfortable with and chose to do so with Falcon Studios Group. We pride ourselves on the safety of our models and would not have started shooting condom-free productions for any brand without being absolutely certain that they would be safe.”
Falcon Studios will release its first bareback production in nearly 30 years, ‘Beach Rats’, on FalconStudios.com on January 11, 2019 and release it on DVD and download on January 18, 2019. The studio follows the strictest testing and safety standards for all its models.

So many bad tats.
How times have changed…
Erik says
Agree…love seeing a hot stud body with no distractions
ROB NARSDEN says
What a sad pathetic chapter of a glorious cinematic legacy.
I am no prize, but honestly these guys? compared to the gods of yesteryear? And Devin Franco is so overused, time to retire buddy.
As for Chi Chi…..please…this is all about sales… no one is buying condom movies anymore…and seemingly because of Prep, all the pontificating on these comments has disappeared. This is about $.
ViniciusF says
I totally agree!

Totally agree with the two previous comments. There is no point of comparison with the actors of the previous series, and those of the new. Those were male and virile Gods. The actors of Chi Chi La Rue, are third, total discard.
Keepinitfake says
this is what guys look like now.
they’re all gross, tatted pos.
the clean cut look of the 90s is long gone.
So sad.
Alessandro Oliveira Araujo says
And does it with the most saturated bareback performers…
Alex says
These poverty motherfuckers don’t know shit about how to properly fuck and any scene with Trevor Miller is an automatic fail, don’t even get me started on LaRue.
NakedSword/Falcon/Tim Valenti is also the same group that chose to release the MXXX whatever movie (which btw is old af) with Tom Faulk, while Tom got arrested irl, so don’t come here and pretend to give a shit about the safety and well being of the performers when all you care about is the money, which is pretty obvious here with the choice of going bareback because you’re that desperate.
I don’t feel sorry for you, you don’t deserve it.
Kevin says
More importantly, where the POC at?!

RIGHT!!!

For any of you who owns Catalina or All Worlds DVDs,you can see the condom message before the movie starts.In this pro condom video message,you see Chi Chi Larue encouraging gay men to have sex with condoms.This message video also shows gay porn stars from the 2000s also encouraging gay men to have sex with a condom.The video is called Rub It Up or something like that.Chi Chi keeps repeating rub it up many times so does the gay porn stars.That video clearly shows how Chi Chi Larue was pro condom.
A couple years ago,Chi Chi was pissed off at a gay porn award show.Because of the bareback category.Chi Chi left the stage very angry and was heard screaming backstage.Because he was not aware of the bareback category.He clearly was against bareback.He expected all catergories to be condom porn.
Chi Chi Larue is backtracking and is now a sellout.When you really believe in something,you stick to it.No matter what.
Chi Chi Larue should never have been a spoke person of pro condom if he was not able to stick to the plan 100%.What makes it even worst is that he he still possible pro condom.But,do bareback only for money anyway.He is a coward and a hypocrite.
At least Titan Men had common sense and quite producing gay porn,instead to surrender to bareback.Same thing could be said for COLT studios.
When i look at nowadays gay porn,it makes me miss 90s gay porn.When gay porn barely had tattoed men,all the men had condom sex,the men were hotter and leaner, gay for pay men were not as common as now,at least half gay porn stars were 100% gay,unlike nowadays gay porn stars who claims to be gay but are actually a bit bisexual.
The 2010s was rough for gay porn.

I think you were referring to “Wrap It Up”.
I know things have changed with the introduction of PReP, but condoms are still the best protection against ALL STIs.
Chi Chi should have used his power and influence to stick to his guns, IMO. I will still watch a movie filmed with condoms, and I am sure others will too.
I cannot help but feel that an icon of the gay porn world has sold out. Chi Chi’s “pledge” should have been to stick by her message, but I guess it is ot about example or education anymore.
I also agree that the cast of this installment are nothing comparable to the god-like men of the earlier ones. Even if they were G4P, they were stunning, and they stood out. I have trouble working out who is who out of this new bunch.
nc says
His movies aren’t going to be any better like horrible Michael Lucas. The Lucas movies use some cheap foreign guys that can’t fuck like Kristen Bjorn has always done. PrEP doesn’t stop all the other shit you can get.
