That should really just shove a cock in it already. We all know what a cum hungry whore he is and how he got started. Ass-to-mouth queen
Jack says
Marc Dylan’s mind numbing video posts are everything Colby Keller’s could never be on their worst day.
TJ says
He’s right. We’re often fast to scrutinize and criticize companies that have bareback porn in them, but fact is, bareback porn is the most watched, and companies need to make a business to keep afloat, so aim thee product at what people want to see.
More of us, even many who don’t want to admit it, do watch bareback porn, if only to fill a fantasy of what they want to do irl but won’t.
sxg says
@John who are you talking about?
And does “plans to work” mean that Billy is already scheduled to film a scene with Chi Chi LaRue? If so, clearly Chi Chi has gone lenient on her stance on barebacking and using barebacking performers.
Also, more than likely he will never work for Titan. Don’t bother wasting your time Billy, you barebacked and Titan doesn’t hire performers who have been known to have bareback in porn.
jake says
@sxg
I don’t see why anyone would want to work with Titan. They have some of the worst performers and their movies have been awful for the last two years.
Joe says
Mark’s posts show that he is a thoughtful and reasonable commentator on gay porn. I applaud him for providing it. Having watched porn for a great number of years and remembering back when it was condomless in the Kevin Williams days, I can appreciate the desire to return to those times. I never thought I would advocate for bareback sex, but since Treasure Island and Dawsons 20 load weekend, my mind has slowly come around and I find myself being extremely turned on watching a bottom taking a tops cock raw, taking loads (multiple ones too) feltching, cumeating snowballing and yes even ass to mouth. Mind you, the straight porn world has been doing these for years. This movement seems to be unstoppable, boys. The main holdouts are the old line studios Raging Stallion/Falcon, Hot House, Titan and Colt.
Jose says
It looks like Ryan a Knightly is another Gay for Payer. Let’s hope he takes it up the ass a couple times though.
Randy says
Billy, be glad that you’re out of that MEN contract. That studio is a meat grindr, putting out alot of crap, over exposing porn performers and totally blowing images right and left. Occasionally they put out a decent scene usually by their London counterpart, but in general their product is badly lit and badly directed. Change up the lighting and get some decent directors for a change folks.
Dean says
@jake Totally agree with you on Titan. Boring company with boring waste of time scenes.
I dont have time to watch Marc’s whole video, but based on what I’m reading here, it looks like I can agree with him. BB is the most watched, and studios need to take note.
Jordi Lim says
Im sad when I heard people got AIDS, and confused about bare backing coz when I watch straight porn, almost all men dont use a condom and they also do anal and sometimes 5 men to 1 girl.
Devin says
Is Marc Dylan the one who made the racist video?
draker says
he lives with his boyfriend’s parents?…hahahahahaha….that is too easy.
LB says
@Jordi, straight porn has a testing system overseen by an industry-wide trade association (not a director or a producer) and a set of policies for how positive results are handled. Models in mainstream straight porn are tested by medical professionals within two weeks of a shoot, their results are read by medical professionals and then their availability for work status is entered into a database accessible to other industry professionals. You test positive, you are not available for work in straight porn. By and large, it’s done a decent job of keeping HIV off straight porn sets. Gay porn has no equivalent industry-wide testing system. At most studios, the protection the men have relied on is condoms. Now they don’t even have that.
sxg says
@LB that is false information, the gay porn industry may not as a whole have a system, but there are several individual studios that take it upon themselves to test their models rigorously. And the last few years the straight porn industry has shown that their testing method is not effective. They did have std/HIV breakouts which halted production on the straight porn industry more than once.
Matias says
I like Mark’s honesty, I may not always agree with him but honesty brings a solid ground for arguments and debates.
And then there are Maverick Men few videos lower and their endless bb videos. Surely not my cup of tea.
Money talks.
TJ says
Porn companies will sell what sells, they can’t make money from selling something people don’t watch, and since so many consumers want to see guys fuck raw, thats what they will produce.
As long as these companies are very, VERY serious on getting all there models tested before any movie they make, then we can’t really argue against it.
People try to refer to BB porn as the 8th deadly sin, but the greater majority watches it, so yeah, whos really to blame here.
Jordi Lim says
If that was true, so unfair to all the gay actors even on the straight guys doing gay porn like Brandon and Jess. While these gay porn companies continue earning millions of dollars .
LB says
@sxg, as far as I know, the only gay studio that tests to the straight industry’s standards is men.com. There are others that say they test, but does anyone outside the company know what they’re testing for, what tests they’re using, who’s doing the testing, who’s reading the results, who’s deciding what to do with those results and how long between the test and the shoot? As far as I know, it’s a no to most or all those questions. The straight industry’s system is far from fail safe, but it’s more transparent, lessens the conflict of interest present in studio-administered testing and gives a bareback performer some amount of assurance that his scene partner has recently tested negative for HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhea. As for the shutdowns in the straight industry, they’re part of the protocol for what happens when a model tests positive. The model doesn’t work, studios halt production and the model’s partners are notified and re-tested. It’s actually an indication of a system that attempts to maintain a safe workplace.
Nobweld says
For me condom free porn isn’t any hotter than porn with condoms, even though I accept I’m probably in the minority. For me what makes the porn hot is the participants, not the condoms (or lack of). Sean Cody is probably my favorite studio at the moment. Its my favorite because the models are hot and they seem to really get into the sex and proper enjoy it. I’d enjoy it more if they wore condoms.
TJ makes a really good point. Studios produce what people want to watch and most people seem to want to watch bb. Its a point that has made me think, as I personally would like to see all porn with condoms perhaps I should stop watching any porn that has bb.
Simon says
The reason why gay porn has no industry-wide testing system is because there is a lack of money with the majority of gay porn studios to fund such an organization. Gay porn might be a million dollar business but only a few companies are really profitable. Plus the competition (sometimes bordering on animosity) between gay porn companies is tremendous so the likelihood of an industry-wide testing system coming into existence is small.
I was always under the impression that studios like Corbin Fisher and Sean Cody did extensive testing for all major STI’s. Can’t imagine that they don’t do that because if it would become publicly known that a model acquired a STI on their sets their reputation as a responible gay porn company would suffer a serious blow.
sxg says
@Simon from what I was told by one porn star is that the testing commonly used in straight and gay porn does not detect everything. One of the two things it doesn’t test for is genital warts and herpes. So there is still a risk that you are capable of catching something. I’m not sure if it catches syphilis or even hepatitis either.
Nobweld says
Well I guess if a performer chooses to take the risk by bb that’s his choice. I’d just prefer they wore a condom, which is far from perfect, but a lot safer than without.
ManEater says
It is misinformation to assert that if you contract HIV it can be detected within two weeks of bareback sex. The HIV strain can live one’s system for years before detection. If straight porn stars are tested every 2 weeks, and the test shows positive, it is unlikely that porn star got it from their most recent player. Frankly, I favor bareback sex and I am still NEG. I also believe much of HIV is generated from excessive drug use within gay circles (not all, logically). Drugs, including poppers, reduce the body’s resistance making the body more susceptible to viral transmission.
Joe T says
Whatever happened to Marc Dylan’s Mississippi accent? He used to be a real bayou boy; did he get a voice coach?
I have to say, I admire his honesty in his videos. He seems very unaffected.
Oh, and why does he always look like he’s filming from a hotel room? Is that really his home?
Jordi Lim says
What’s his accent? American has only know one language English.
sxg says
@Jordi, English is the most popular and most used language in the United States but we do not have an official language. Still, depending on the region a person comes from in the US depends on the accents and the dialects they use in English. People from Mississippi like Marc Dylan aren’t going to sound the same as people from the north, like Braden Charron (I can’t think of another pornstar in the north).
Tom P says
The ignorance is unbelievable. The reason STD’s spread is because the red states are completely terrified and demonize sex. Why is teenage pregnancy so high in the USA? Because sex ed doesn’t exist in this country due to extremely ignorant fears. The other completely wrong statement is that someone who has bareback sex can’t transmit the virus to someone until they start testing poz via a test. The most infectious state is before anyone tests poz. The test in doctor offices and at homes detects the anti-bodies, not the virus itself. No test detects the virus itself. It can take up to 30 days for a persons immune system to start creating anti-bodies so a person who has the virus is completely unaware they are infectious until their immune system starts producing the anti-bodies. I am not against barebacking. I want people to know what they are getting into and if they are okay, then let’s have a great bareback time between the sheets.
andrew says
@Tom P: There are some new tests that actually detect the presence of the virus itself. I think that Bel Ami and other studios have started using these new expensive tests. They are said to be able to detect the presence of the virus within 9-11 days of infection. Having said that, I am still vs BB and strongly suggest that the models use CONDOMS!!!
Matt says
Really like Paul from Gay Comic Geek but was he joking throughout the review of Pounded referring to Landon Conrad and Landon Crawford??
