Calvin at Sean Cody

2010-08-15T16:53:00.000-07:00

Who is that gorgeous man smiling at the camera? That's Calvin, our latest discovery who has already completed two scenes with Sean Cody. Calvin is a great guy and not bad on the eyes, either. He arrived in chilly San Diego from the heatstroke-inducing weather on the east coast. It's been unseasonably cold in San Diego this summer, and Calvin didn't seem to mind getting out of the oven to some cooler weather. But, seriously, the coldest summer on record in DECADES? Usually it's sweltering this time of year. It's only been in the past week that it's warmed up. But where I am, I don't know that it's been above 90 degrees yet. Although we did have a couple of hot days after the June cold snap, then, bam, back to cool weather.

I always think it's fun to see two of my discoveries work together in the same scene. Over on Corbin Fisher, Aaron and Ethan recently appeared together. Aaron I placed with another studio, but he recently made the jump over to Corbin Fisher, which I am happy to see because he really wasn't getting the work he deserved elsewhere. Ethan finally made the jump to doing guy/guy sex scenes and he's just fantastic at his work. I'm happy to see Aaron has progressed quite nicely in his physical appearance.

I don't know why I'm excited about this, but I'm happy to have finally found my first African-American model. He is ready to go and I'm just waiting for the studio to give the green light. I think it will happen because this new fellow is rock solid handsome with a wholesome smile and a delicious cock. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I hope that whatever it is your doing, that you're doing it fast and hard this weekend.

Quick Update

2010-07-11T22:10:00.000-07:00

In my last posting, I reported taking a jaunt to Vegas. It was a great trip, and the first time in years when I didn't concentrate on work for four entire days. I met up with some friends who, on a Sunday night, took me to Freemont Street. We went into a biker bar called Hogs and Heifers, and I highly recommend it. The bar bitches yell at the patrons with bullhorns. I saw the cutest blue-eyed blonde boy in the bar - and stupid me didn't have any business cards on me. But I was on vacation! Oh, well.

Apparently, the month is July and it's summer. But here in Southern California, San Diego especially, we've had unseasonably cold weather. Up until a couple of days ago, we hadn't seen the sun in nearly two weeks. It's been fucking depressing to say the least. It's felt more like November than July. I'm ready for warm weather, please. Bring it!

Next weekend is Gay Pride Weekend here in San Diego. I could really care less. I went last year with a friend and only wanted to go because he wanted to experience his first Pride. I haven't been to Pride in other cities, but the one in San Diego feels more like a gay yard sale. I doubt I'll go this weekend. We'll see.

I had a great week in welcoming a new model to San Diego for work with a studio. I think he's going to do quite well and I'll post his pictures once he comes out on the site.

Las Vegas

2010-05-22T17:18:00.000-07:00

Fierce Scouting is taking a Vegas vacation as of tomorrow. Will return later in the week. It's time this boy gets some R&R. And a good pounding.

Shawn Young - mad about the boy!

2010-03-19T22:57:00.000-07:00

Shawn Young isn't a Fierce Scouting discovery (dammit!), but I don't care. Look at that beautiful boy just lying there. Wouldn't you want to wake up next to that after a drunken night of salacious sex? Shawn, you've got an open invitation to visit the Fierce Scouting bunker anytime. Of course, the purpose of your visit will be to discuss current affairs.

Here's what Randy had to say: I appreciate anyone with an unbridled sexuality and Shawn Young is a prefect example. Even though his wild life in Virginia Beach shows in his style and fun loving nature his upbringing down south peeks through in his sexy accent. Plus, he's got this southern charm that you just can't help but love. And while I'm really hot for chiseled muscles there's something about a natural build that you know comes from things like running and playing sports that really drives me wild. We talked about his love of mountain biking and I can just picture him riding with that hunk of power between his legs, on the back of a mountain bike. I can picture him doing well at anything that uses his hands, whether it be steering a bike, dribbling a basketball or working his hard cock. He loves playing with himself and without the slightest hint of shyness he confessed to me that he's even been known to jerk off in the car on long trips. I pictured him doing just that as he lie across the bed, putting on an excellent show for my cameras. His soft breathy moans were music to my ears as I watched that angelic expression he makes when he nears the point of no return.

Chad Hollon in Randy Blue Threeway!

2010-03-19T22:38:00.000-07:00

The folks at Randy Blue are on to something lately with all of the 3Way scenes, a couple of which have featured models discovered by Fierce Scouting. In the latest 3W, Fierce model Chad Hollon is going at it with Brett Swanson (one of the biz's best bottoms!) and Porter Wescott.

Here's what Randy had to say: Threeways doesn't just mean three ways to fuck. Putting three hot, horny guys together and giving them the task of finding as many different sexual situations as they can will always make for a hot time. Just for fun I threw Brett Swanson, Chad Hollon and Porter Wescott together and what they came up with is the stuff many guys can only fantasize about. Imagine finding yourself chowing down on a raging boner while another guy rams your hungry hole. I love the combination of Brett's smaller frame against Porter and Chad's larger bodies. And I must say, Porter has such a great way about him as he's fucking Brett. He goes from rhythmically moving their bodies in synch to stepping back a bit and ramming his rod home. And when Chad gets a chance to tap Brett's ass he works it real good. I love it when they get loud and hearing Brett begging for more was music to my ears. And no wonder because Chad did such a good job of sucking his cock and keeping him on the verge of coming for so long that when they were all allowed to shoot their loads, Brett shot his first before the other two could even think about it. But don't worry, they made sure to dump theirs into the mix.

Whoa! Christian Sharp Grabby Nomination!

2010-03-16T18:45:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Christian Sharp, nominated for a GRABBY Award for his appearance in Randy Blue's "That 70s Gay Porn Movie" which came out last summer. It's a two-parter featuring a bevy of RB beauties (including my own Xander Scott!). It's a very hilarious flick and features a cameo by a certain Blue studio owner. Check it out for yourself! I'm happy to see Christian get recognized for his assets, amongst many other things.

Updates!

2010-03-15T23:58:00.000-07:00

I have not been good at keeping this blog updated. I apologize. To make up for it, I have posted after this entry three new updates on Fierce Scouting models. Please take a few minutes to check out what some of my boys have been up to.

What do you like on TV this season? I'm a reality show junkie, specifically nearly all of the shows on Bravo TV. I love all of the "Real Housewives" shows, but this season I'm up in arms with adoration for "Kell on Earth." In watching that show about all of those bitches, I've decided I want to be a ball-busting power girl. I'm going to work on that.

It's on! This Saturday night, Vicki Gunvalson from the "Real Housewives of Orange County" is doing an appearance and book signing in San Diego...AND I WILL BE THERE! I have been waiting for this for three weeks and I'm as happy as a little school girl in heat. Will you be there?

Christian Sharp in RB 3Way

2010-03-15T23:44:00.000-07:00

Christian Sharp was recently voted one of the hottest pornstars by readers of the Unzipped blog (see below a few entries). Is it difficult to see why? When I first met Christian, he came in to get his casting photos done. Our shoot went well, but when he disrobed, he was terribly sunburnt. He was literally beat red head to toe, except for where he wore swimming trunks. He had fallen asleep the day before for a few hours in the sun. The site of his red body made me laugh out loud (it's not something you want to do in front of a nude model). I'd repeat what his response was, but that was something I'd just like to keep to myself as a fond memory.

So here is my Christian in a 3Way on Randy Blue. Here is what Randy had to say: It's a dark desire for some, a fantasy, perhaps. To arrange a meeting between two handsome guys who know full well that their sole purpose is to be on display. To be used, controlled. The puppet master sits back and enjoys the show as he instructs his playthings to perform. Making them kiss, work each others' bodies until their cocks are hard and dripping with the anticipation of their master's next words. Christian Sharp sheds his usual boy next door image and becomes the controller. Dominating his new toys with an authoritative voice and intense sexual energy. Brett Swanson and Riley Price are Christian's eager minions, getting off on being told what to do and hoping to please the man who's directing them. And just when you think it couldn't get any hotter, the voyeur joins in and becomes part of a hot threeway, using Brett's hungry hole as Riley feeds Brett his rock hard cock. And even a dominant top likes to suck dick once in a while as Christian gives Riley a kick ass blowjob, never losing a beat in pounding Brett's ass.

Clint Johnson on Randy Blue

2010-03-15T23:32:00.000-07:00

Clint Johnson is the latest Fierce Scouting discovery to work on Randy Blue. Clint is a college football player in the midwest. I nearly slipped out of my chair when he told me he was gay. A gay college football player - be-still my heart! Clint is a real sweetheart and obviously has the brains in addition to the brawn. Here is what Randy had to say: Clint Johnson. Where do I start? This guy has such a hot, beefy, muscular body yet such a sweet boyish face that the contrast between the two drives me wild. He's a little bashful and always has the nicest smile. For someone who was so excited to get naked for the camera he was fairly reserved outside of the shoot. But once you got him into a conversation he held his own. He favors tight t-shirts to show off his nice chest and muscular torso and the fact that his biceps bulge out of the sleeves didn't hurt either. And if you are one of those people who can't decide if you like 'em hairy or smooth, Clint has the perfect amount of fur. Just a light dusting of black hair on his pecks and abs leading down to a nice thick bush. He told me he loved jerking off in the bath, so in the interest of making him feel right at home I put him in a hot, steamy hot tub and let him go at it. I think that helped put him at ease because when he started fingering his ass he got totally lost in the moment and forgot I was there, which is exactly how I like it. The glass wall next to him was so shiny you can see his reflection for some of the video and the effect is really cool. I almost didn't want him to cum because I was so getting into watching him jerk that I didn't want it to end. Then, the closer he got to shooting his load the more intense his expression got and then I noticed how he wasn't just stroking his cock, he was working the very tip and squeezing in just the right places as if he was milking every drop out of his aching member. It was really something to see.

Dominic and Xander Scott

2010-03-15T23:12:00.000-07:00

What Randy has to say: This is what I like to call a wake and quake. I love watching two guys wake up and go right at it and when Dominic Brown and Xander Scott decided to do a video together I knew there was going to be some good fucking. These guys are both such an excellent combination of hot and horny that when they got together there was no stopping them. Dominic gave Xander a wake up call he won't soon forget. And I'm sure the bristles of his neatly trimmed beard made Xander's balls tingle with excitement. And once Xander got a look at Dominic's round bubble butt he just had to dig his face in. Of course he was just getting ready for the anal invasion that was to follow and from the sounds of Dominic's breathy moans he was loving every second of it. A little of this, a little of that and Dominic is lowering himself into Xander's throbbing cock as he lays back and enjoys the ride. I think Dominic has been taking hints from Eric Pryor because he did such a great job of riding Xander's cock while lowering himself onto it. And when these guys are ready to shoot their loads, they let the jizz fly.

Christian Sharp is One Hot Guy

2010-01-03T12:22:00.000-08:00

Seems Fierce Scouting discovery Christian Sharp was voted "Hot Guy of the Year" by the readers of the Unzipped blog. We extend our congratulations to Christian on this honor, and give thanks to the voters of Unzipped for their good taste in men. Christian models exclusively for Randy Blue. We've enjoyed a multi-year association with Randy and his stellar website, not only bringing him Christian but some of their other top models as well: Xander Scott, Jeremy Walker, and many others. The folks at Randy Blue are a total class act and we're looking forward to a great 2010 with them and with the other studios we work with.

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T11:46:00.000-08:00

Fierce Scouting could hardly wait for 2009 to be over. I welcomed in 2010 with great friends at Top of the Park near Balboa Park in San Diego. It was a beautiful, clear evening. But right now, I'm in real need of coffee. Oy

Meet Chad Hollon

2009-12-07T18:26:00.000-08:00

I had a case of the Mondays until I saw my latest model put up on to the Randy Blue website today! That's Chad Hollon below. Not until I saw his photos on Randy's site did I realize how much of a good-looking guy Chad is. He's definitely one of the best-looking finds I've come across in quite some time. He was eager to get started and his shoot just came out red hot. Congratulations, Chad. Looking forward to seeing more of you.

Today I feel

2009-12-03T16:34:00.000-08:00

totally vindicated. Christmas came early this year. Peace and blessings.

Dawson and Nicco

2009-11-27T09:44:00.000-08:00

Funny thing about this video. I remember when Dawson got that belt.

On with the show.

Dawson Riley couldn't get enough of Nicco Sky's ass. From rimming to fucking, he was all about the ass.

Xander Scott Blows Riley Away

2009-11-18T22:27:00.000-08:00

I discovered Xander Scott three years ago. Since then, he has worked steadily with Randy Blue and has risen through the ranks to become one of Randy's top models. It took Xander a few months to decide if the business was for him. I think he made the right decision as the business has been good to him. Here's what Randy has to say about Xander's latest scene:

Xander Scott gives such an amazing blowjob to Riley Price that makes him practically explode with hot creamy jizz.

Christian and Dawson

2009-11-13T10:49:00.000-08:00

I always feel like a proud papa when I see two of my models going at it. In today's case, it's Christian and Dawson seen below in this preview for Randy Blue. Check it out!

Here's what Randy says: Christian Sharp sucks, fucks and rims Dawson Riley and they both get so into it they shoot their hot loads one right after the other.

What did you do this summer?

2009-11-04T18:32:00.000-08:00

Summer 2009. Where did it go? Seems like it was just yesterday I was enjoying BBQ on a hot summer day or strolling the Oceanside pier looking at the scenery. And I mean real scenery. We got out of our bunker quite a bit this summer. Took in San Diego Gay Pride for the first time in, oh, a decade or more. I still consider the festival to be a big, gay garage sale. But, whatever.

Your Fierce scout had a lot of non-porn business to deal with this summer. We also took a job outside of the biz so that the brain could be re-engaged. Face it: porn is pretty brainless. Have you ever talked to a model?

We learned a lot this summer. Principally: don't make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.

We will learn to incorporate the word "no" into our vocabulary.

We also learned that: Twitter was invented by the devil; and that models who think they are smarter than the people they work for are destined to fall quickly. And who will be there to catch them? It's amazing that one can think they can get away with so much, yet the truth was broadcast via the Internets. It's why I deleted my Fierce twitter account. I don't miss it at all.

Who needs it?

With the help of our fancy coffee drinks that gives us energy, and supportive friends, we have regained our fierceness. Next week we welcome Chris from the east coast to San Diego for work. There are some great potentials in the pipeline we are working on cultivating right now. If all goes well, it's going to be a most fierce end of year.

We've reclaimed our personal space, moved on, and are considering many options. Business and personal.

Finally, we are learning to breathe again. It's one of the most important things one can do.

Lastly, I want to take a moment to write about my father. Five or six years ago, it was apparent that my dad was going through a change. It was called Alzheimer's Disease. I can specifically remember the day when I realized my father was old. It's a moment that for decades I wondered when it would come. It came quickly. Too quick.

The disease progressed. My mother was determined to take care of him. He began to worsen this spring. More and more he was not remembering who my mother was. More and more he was becoming abusive. We didn't blame him. Alzheimer's is a cruel disease.

But aren't they all?

After hospital visits, dealing with social service agencies, nurses, and doctors, we put him into a board and care facility early summer. Financially, it was devastating to the family (namely me), but it was the right thing to do for his sake, and for my mother's.

Then, the autumn of summer came, and his health worsened.

Yet, he "remembered" who I was throughout the summer. Even when he was really sick, he recalled that I was his son. I remember the very last lucid moment I had with him. We had just taken him to a doctor appointment and brought him back to his board and care facility. I sat him in his comfortable chair and kissed him goodbye. He then took my hand and kissed the back of it. He had never done that before. It tore me up inside.

In August, he started developing respiratory problems. We had to take him to the ER. His skin was pale white. I had never seen him so bad. I thought he was going to die.

As it turns out, that would be the last day I would see my father alive.

He suddenly passed away on October 19, 2009 at 9:40 pm. My mother and I had only a moment's warning. When the first call to me came, at about 9:30 pm, I was driving to San Diego. Maybe seven minutes later, the second call came.

And he was gone.

Just like that.

I regret not seeing him between the time of his going to the ER until his death. I had planned to. I missed my opportunity. It's the biggest regret of my life to date.

But I am at least grateful for the last real day I had with him. When he kissed the back of my hand. I'll never forget that moment.

Not ever.

About the hair...

2009-10-29T17:52:00.000-07:00

Don't ask us about Dawson's hair. Anyway...

When Dawson Riley and Dallas Evans decide on some Halloween chills and thrills, they get more than they bargain for when a stranger comes and he's the adorable Brett Swanson.

Dawson Riley's first duo scene!

2009-10-07T19:18:00.001-07:00

Today, Randy Blue released Fierce Scouting discovery Dawson Riley's first duo scene. Check out the HOT preview!

When Dawson Riley is running late going out, Johnny Angel gives him reasons to not care.

Dawson Riley is exploding all over

2009-09-24T00:25:00.001-07:00

Dawson Riley was discovered by Fierce Scouting in early May 2009. His appearance on Randy Blue was eagerly anticipated thanks largely to our promoting him throughout the summer. Several of the leading gay porn blogs picked up his story and his photos taken by us. Dawson is an extraordinary individual. He is in the business to make good product and to please his friends and fans. He works hard physically and dedicates a significant amount of time communicating with his fans through myspace and twitter. We think big things are in store for Dawson and are looking forward to continuing to work with him.

Brett Starr on the Street

2009-05-23T15:09:00.001-07:00

I found this on-the-street interview with Brett Starr to be very humorous for oh-so-many reasons.

Cidd Pierce is Dicktimized!

2009-05-13T16:18:00.001-07:00

Here's Cidd's interview about his involvement in Jet Set Men's DVD "Dicktimized," streeting this month. Cidd is joining some of his cast mates for the official release party later this month in LA. Details to come!

I'll be back

2009-04-16T12:06:00.000-07:00

to blogging soon!

Milk

2009-03-04T00:49:00.000-08:00

I finally dragged myself to the movies tonight to see Milk. I'm such a couch potato, I go to the movies maybe once a year. I prefer Blockbuster home delivery.

If you haven't seen Milk, go. It should be required viewing. For me, it opened me up to wanting to do something. To get involved again. It also reminded me of history. I had nearly forgotten about Prop. 6 in California. I was a youngster during that time. I was more concerned with digging holes and playing in mud. I still am.

It's mystifying to me that for all of these decades, we're still fighting the same battles. Acceptance. Equal rights. And so on.

I enjoyed the use of vintage photos and the real news broadcasts from the time period in the movie. It helped to put the real story of the film into context.

But most of all, all I can say after seeing the movie and seeing how the movement got started, is that: I now understand. That's for some of my partnered friends. I now understand.

I'm glad to see February over and done with. I lost a very good friend of 25-plus years to AIDS last month. He was HIV positive for at least 20 of those years. But did he live life to the fullest. He was terribly passionate about the environment, and about the arts. He taught theater to children. He was there for me during my coming out process. He practically held my hand and led me along. In the end, coming out wasn't such a big deal. But it was sure rough getting there. I don't know what I would have done without my good friend.

I will miss him.

Jet Set Wraps Big Dicks

2009-02-06T00:50:00.000-08:00

Now, this is what I call a line-up.

Fierce models Cidd Pierce (third from left) and Cody Carter (third from right) completed production with a gluttony of other studs on "Big Dick Society II: Dicktimized." Direction is by Chris Steele from a script by John Tegan. Production wrapped January 29 and the DVD streets in May. This is Cody's second Jet Set movie, while Cidd makes his DVD debut. Congrats!

Cody Carter is Keeping it Busy

2009-02-06T00:30:00.001-08:00

Full disclosure: Cody Carter is one of my models.

I am a little biased. I am in love with Cody. I met him in November during Twinkscape. Watching him work, I knew I had to represent him. I quickly snagged him and had him heading to LA in December for his first DVD with Jet Set Men. He's just an all-around nice guy, a good old-fashioned mid-western boy who just happens to do porn. What more could you ask for?

Cody has had some scenes recently released on collegedudes247 and on twinkscape:

Cody Carter Fucks Jake Steel
Cody Carter rips into Jake Steel with a vengeance in this scene! It has been a while since Cody has been around; we are really glad he is back looking great and still fucking like a champ! After sucking dick and licking hole, Cody goes to town on Jake and Jake loves every minute of it!

Pool Boy Pounding
Robbie Hart films a pool-boy dream fantasy fuck featuring Twink Stud Cody Carter fucking the living daylights out of smooth and tender Brett Star. Cody dreams of giving the pool slut a hard ass-fucking then busts all over his face.

I Need a Lube Job
Jason Matthews plays a horned-up grease monkey slut as he gets pounded by hot twink top Cody Carter. Ajay films Cody the stud and Jason the bitch, as Jason gets his driveshaft unclogged!

Cody has a sexual energy that is quite remarkable. Watching him work in person is quite thrilling, but chances are you haven't had the opportunity. So I highly recommend checking out his work above. Cody is going to go places, and it couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Submission of the day

2009-02-03T14:45:00.000-08:00

I wish I had saved the email, but I couldn't delete it fast enough. Some poor soul sent an email to me saying they didn't have the jock look, but that was OK because, "the jock look is for fags."

Twinkscape: Emergency Fuck

2009-01-19T01:39:00.000-08:00

The preview video above is from episode 2 of twinkscape.com. In watching the preview, you're probably wondering what the hell is going on.

When I wrote this scene, I was writing it for another model who, unfortunately, had to leave our shoot. Brett (the blond) ably took his place and did a great job. It was the first adult shoot he'd ever done. When I wrote this for the original model, I had an idea that he should be nailed in a kiddie bed. I just thought people would like the set-up. I pictured a kiddie room replete with stuffed animals who would somehow get in on the act (and they do). One of the craziest moments of the video comes courtesy of Ethan Storm, who plucked a stuffed turtle and put it on Brett's back while fucking him. It was totally improvised and us crew were just laughing off camera when the moment happened. You just had to be there (or at least see the video).

The set-up of the scene is that the young guy wants to masturbate, but his dildo breaks. He calls the "Prick Squad" to come fix the dead dildo. Naturally, the repairman offers his own cock in place of the fake one.

I suggested to Brett that during the sex, he command Ethan to "fuck his boy hole." It was just one more envelope pushing moment I injected into the scene.

If you'd like to see the real thing, I suggest you click here.

We shot this scene in the evening, and afterwards all of the models involved in the site came over for pizza. It was a pure porn moment.

Tyra Banks Does Gay for Pay

2009-01-16T23:33:00.000-08:00

Attention porn fans, set your VCR, er, I mean DVR for Thursday's episode of the Tyra Banks show. The topic of the show is gay for pay performers. Models Aaron James (pictured) and Kurt Wild are among those appearing. The gay for pay debate amongst porn fans has been running rampant lately after Pat Bateman was seen plowing a fellow on video with the help of a girlie magazine propped on the back of the bottom. There is a rumor amongst some in porn land that one of Tyra's guests will make an announcement of some sort. Tune in.

Personally, I didn't have a problem with the photos I saw of Pat Bateman and his infamous magazine. The point of porn is to provide a product to help consumers get off. If Pat's scene does the trick, so be it. What I am highly weary of, as a consumer, is how studios over emphasize the fact that a given model is gay for pay. Why does a model have to have a label? If part of the function of porn is to provide fantasy, why not feature models as just plain men? This is why I think Randy Blue does such a good job. There is no having to guess what a model's orientation is. Some studios do interviews and will ask if a model is gay or straight.

Who cares?

Twinkscape: Exam Room Fuck

2009-01-15T02:32:00.000-08:00

The idea behind twinkscape.com is to follow the adventures of three twink buddies as they go about filming their own porn site. When the site launched in December, its initial offerings were six scenes. These scenes comprise a "season" that continued yesterday with the release of a new scene. A new scene will be released each Wednesday five more times. Then, season two premieres (more on that later).

The scene entitled "Exam Room Fuck" is probably my favorite of the first six because of its set-up and the two models (Cody Carter and Ethan Storm) who are featured in it. That's Cody who has his ass spread far and wide for the Naughty Nurse Ethan.

The set-up of the scene is simple: Cock Scout Cody needs doctor approval to go on his camp out. So he makes an appointment with Dr. Kevorkian. Fortunately, the doctor is tied up and Nurse Ethan comes into the office to start things off. Cody and Ethan's line delivery is spot on. They have good comedic timing and I have to give them a lot of credit because the scene was changed from a threesome to a duo just a couple of hours before it was shot. That required me to perform a quick re-write and the guys quickly memorized. They did great!

When I was watch porn, I'm actually uninterested in the sex scenes because I spend my entire day immersed in the business. I'm more interested in the script and the set-ups of each scene and how its directed. How are the camera angles, etc. But Cody and Ethan's sex scene here is an exception because they worked so well together and had a good connection. Cody is an amazing top and one director recently described a performance of his this way: "I haven't seen a top like Cody in a long time." Ethan is a fascinating versatile performer. He can top or bottom equally well and he's just a mad man in the bedroom. He's a touch on the kinky side and isn't afraid to demonstrate it (just watch the second scene of twinkscape for proof).

Naturally, when Ethan informs Cody he can't go on his camp out because his ass is too tight, Cody turns the tables on him and gives him a good plowing. It's actually Ethan's ass that needs loosening and Cody gives him a pounding at light speed. I could watch either of these guys endlessly and be happy. I think you will, too.

Cock Scouts: Ass on Fire

2009-01-15T02:00:00.000-08:00

Twinkscape.com uploaded a new scene yesterday: Cock Scouts: Ass on Fire. It features Ajay (he's on the bottom in the photo) and Camden. It's the first of two "Cock Scout" porn scenes I wrote for the studio. Even though we shot these scenes in November, I had come up with the idea of a boy scout parody in 2006. The idea had been fermenting in my brain for three years until my creative juices were finally allowed to flow when I was asked to write twinkscape. I like the idea of taking something sweet and innocent and fucking with it. Thus, the Cock Scouts.

While the Cock Scout idea is mine, the studio deserves the real credit for bringing it to life perfectly with uniforms (which thankfully don't stay on the boys too long) and especially the cute orange ball caps.

The sex scene is pretty damn good. Camden is a superior ass eater and Ajay just has a beautiful body. And the guy couldn't be any nicer. In a forthcoming scene of the twinkscape series, I wrote some lines just for him. I hope they've made it into the final cut. Camden's cum shot in this Cock Scout scene is amazing. I don't know where he stored all of that white goo, but he practically drenches Ajay's beautiful chest with the stuff.

Reflections on the old. Facing the new.

2009-01-02T20:42:00.000-08:00

Is it just me, or did it seem to take forever for 2008 to come to an end? With the exception of summer (which seems to always be fleeting in the blink of an eye), last year was a real drag. Literally. On reflection, it was a tremendous year for growth. Best year for my business. Seems strange to say in light of national economic trends, but last year is when it really began to happen for me. I made many great contacts and have developed stable relationships with wonderful studios. I can proclaim that the studios I'm working with are all at the top of their game.

Some of my highlights were working on twinkscape.com (a project that continues), and seeing Derrek Diamond on the cover of Hot House's "Dickin' Around." Cidd Pierce is an absolute doll to work with, and he successfully completed his first topping scene. Meeting Cody Carter during twinkscape was fortuitous for me, and he's on his way to great things having recently completed his first DVD project. Christian Sharp turned into a major star at Randy Blue, and Aiden James is making quite an impression there as well. In a way, they are all, my sons (tell me the name of the play that's from and I'll give you a buck. Offer ends midnight tonight).

What's in store for 2009? It's hard to say at this point. There will be more adjustments in accordance with the current economy. I don't envision a real slow down. I thought things would turnaround more quickly, but it'll probably take longer than we'd like. I still think that consumers will always hold on to their vices no matter what. I've not cancelled my subscription to the one porn site I subscribe to. (No, I'm not going to tell you which one).

I believe the key to survival is to have many brands, to not have all hopes in one pot, and to be flexible. Models will need to be flexible and to adapt. I look at the former industry I worked in where the artists are still demanding salaries that are putting the very institutions they perform for out of business. Executive greed is also part of the downturn of the non-profit, just like in the corporate world where the executives inhabiting the corner offices of bailed out banks are still enjoying their perks. They can because of the lack of accountability. But in order for the adult industry to survive, we need to be accountable to ourselves, and to our business partners. We have to help each other succeed. We need to show the rest of the world how it's done.

Who is with me?

Imitation is the best form of flattery

2008-12-26T17:45:00.000-08:00

Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a new recruiter website using a lot of my website's copy. Without my permission, naturally. I did send a very nice email complimenting them on their well-written copy. I am glad to provide copy-writing services to an outfit that calls themselves "the best." Hardly. This is the second known instance of another "recruiter" stealing my website copy. The first scumbag not only lifted entire sections of copy off of my website, he stole actual art that I designed for my site to use on his. Now, back to the other outfit that is supposedly "the best," if they are "the best," they can't create their own copy? That's hardly for "the best" to operate.

This business with WalMart

2008-12-01T21:56:00.000-08:00

I was watching 'The View' this morning (it's where I get all my news. Go ahead and laugh) and the bitches there touched upon the freak "Black Friday" incident where a WalMart employee was trampeled to death. Apparently 2000 assholes crashed through the glass doors of the store so they could rush inside to buy discounted TVs, computers, and other shit.

Was it worth it?

The Wall Street Journal writes that police officials where this incident happened feel that the store should have had extra security and better trained employees.

I agree. There should have been extra security. As a matter of fact, the security should have been armed because I feel that 2000 assholes storming a WalMart at dawn deserve to be permanently removed from the planet. The trampeled employee (a temporary employee at that) was just there to do a job. Like everyone else with responsibilities, he woke up that morning to go to work. Unfortunately, this manic society got in his way of not only earning a living, but living out the rest of his life.

It's amazing to me that there are people stupid enough in this country who feel they have to get up before sunrise in order to be in line to buy a bunch of meaningless crap. To take it a step further, these assholes had only their own petty self-interests in mind when they trampeled this man to death.It's been further reported that there were shoppers at the store who were angry that the WalMart in question wanted to close down to deal with the tragedy.

Only in America.

Ft. Lauderdale Tales

Jason and Ajay

A set

Camp Cock Willow

I am writing from Ft. Lauderdale. I've been here a week working on filming scenes for a new site that will launch mid-December. I can't reveal too much only to say there is some amazing sex, and humor that will be the talk of the Internets. It's been an incredibly fun project to be associated with. I wrote 12 scenes and directed what I call the "Second Unit," essentially the non-sex stuff. I leave that to the pros of the business. But seeing all of this sex filmed (12 scenes in six days) has taught me a lot about the craft. The gents I've been working with know the business well and they're going to deliver some excellent work. So stay tuned!

We shot in various places: in a private home, in a backyard (wondering if the neighbors could hear, "Fuck me Scoutmaster, Cody" coming from one of the models), in two different studios, in a garage, at a resort's outdoor pool where the guests had front row seats to watching us film, and on a trailer set that was something out of Hee-Haw.

When I tell people I've written porn dialogue, they ask me how much goes into writing "fuck me, yes, yes, yes, suck that cock." This porn is a little bit different from the norm. It's a 12-scene series with running characters in outrageous situations with equally outrageous dialogue. But some of the best dialogue came from improvising by the models. We came up with one signature line per scene that was said during sex.

I ended up having to stay an extra day and am not quite sure when I'm returning to San Diego. I'll either be back before or right after Thanksgiving.

Fierce models spread their DNA

2008-11-15T21:51:00.000-08:00

On Friday, November 14, several models recruited or discovered by Fierce Scouting completed a photo shoot for DNA Magazine. We believe the issue will be out in January. Shooting with such prestigious publications such as DNA is part of the major opportunities afforded some of the models we place in the business.

Randy Blue Swallows

2008-11-15T18:09:00.000-08:00

I need events like Randy Blue night at Club Swallow at MJ's bar in Silverlake (whew!) to reaffirm my adoration for the porn industry. Gay porn mogul Randy hauled 11 of his best studs to this live appearance, and it was a chance to see some of my recruits in action! There was Xander Scott (who I haven't seen in more than a YEAR and we live in same area!), Christian Sharp, Jeremy Walker, and Macon Tyler dancing and grinding their asses off, and posing for pictures with fans. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to chat with Jeremy or Macon. One of the aspects of my job is that I usually don't get to meet the models I recruit. I'd never seen Jeremy or Macon in person. While standing off to the side of the dance floor, I spied a particularly handsome guy near the bar and thought, "that looks like Macon." It wasn't until I got home and looked at the poster for the event and saw Macon listed. I missed an opportunity to say hi and to introduce myself in person!

Randy was his usual wonderful self. He really is a sweetheart and I love doing business with him. His heart is in the right place. Randy's right-hand man Jose was there to ensure everything went off without a hitch. With all he had to do that night, he texted me directions, and where to park, and met Michael and I outside to bring us in. These gents are just classy all the way around (as is the rest of the RB crew).

My buddy Michael drove for an hour from Orange County to fetch me, then drove another two hours to LA. We stayed until about 1:00 am and headed back.

Unfortauntely, the only photos I could get were what I posted above. That's Christian Sharp and Leo Giamani doing their thing. And they did it so well.

Thanks Randy and Jose for a great night!

No response from Dlist

2008-11-12T22:38:00.000-08:00

Well, our friend "Todd," who, according to his profile, co-founded Dlist.com, hasn't responded to my message from yesterday (see yesterday's post below). I wonder if Todd will accept ad money from adult studios. I do recall seeing advertising from Sean Cody on the site in the not so recent past. I just find it completely hypocritical that they would block my profile because they don't allow "porn recruiting," yet Dlist was nominated on an adult industry website for being a "male pick up site" and that they have taken ad money from adult studios.

Where do they think the models come from?

+ + +

On a happier (and non-hypocritical) note, your Fierce Scout is returning to Ft. Lauderdale in a few days for work on an exciting new project. Can't say what yet, but stay tuned! (I'd love to announce the project on Dlist, but my account is "suspended").

2008-11-11T20:03:00.000-08:00

So Fierce Scouting isn't good enough to be on the Dlist. That is, Dlist.com, sort of a myspace for gay guys "and their friends." After having a profile there for quite a long time, I recieved this email from them today:

From: ToddNYC

Subject: Your profile has been disapproved.
Date: November 11, 2008 2:35:34 PM PST
Dear sdscout, While reviewing your profile, we noticed that you are currently not compliant with profile policies. We do not allow porn recruiting on our website Thanks, DList support

I sent the following reply:

Subject: RE: Your profile has been disapproved.

You don't allow "porn recruiting," yet your site is nominated for a Cybersocket award (an adult industry website). Have you declined the nomination and removed your site from being voted on?

+ + +

I find it somewhat hypocritical of Dlist to accept advertising from the adult industry and to also allow themselves to be nominated for an award from an adult industry website (for being the best pick up site, no less) but they do not allow "porn recruiting."

I await a reply from Todd.

What gets model submissions deleted

2008-10-28T23:09:00.000-07:00

It's been a rather interesting day dealing with potential models. I received an email tonight from someone in Portland, Oregon asking if I was going to "screw him." As in, screw him over. Keep in mind that this was his introductory email to me as a potential model. He didn't include a photo of himself (never a good sign). I'm not sure what is being taught in school about comprehension of the written word, but there are some very stupid people out there.

I place a lot of ads to attract potential models. The ad contains a lot of information. My ad is so good that sometimes other scouts and studios "borrow" my copy.

The ad clearly states potential pay, and where to go for more information (the Fierce website).

Yet, Mr. Portland, who emailed me about getting screwed, just felt it would be faster to dash off a moronic missive rather than taking the time to READ THE AD (what a concept) and do his homework.

A lot of people have the attitude of, "I want it now, so give it to me now, and I don't want to have to work for it." People, if you respond to ANY classified ad for ANY job, read the fucking ad and do your fucking homework about the business you are applying to. Do you need someone to wipe your ass, too? For some reason, Mr. Portland could not understand what the ad said to do, which says, "for more information, go to www.fiercescouting.com." Fierce Scouting has the most comprehensive website for potential models who want to get into the industry. Other studios and scouts "borrow" my copy to use as their own (one disreputable scout in Austin went so far as to copy and paste ALL of the copy off of my site and even used my graphics for his own site).

Such thievery doesn't bother me. What does bother me, however, are people like Mr. Portland who are so completely stupid they send me really obnoxious email and expect a response. I don't bother to respond to such stupidity because I would never represent such a stupid person to my client studios. As if I am going to send Mr. Portland to the first or second most popular gay studios on the Internet.

That would be stupid of me.

I'm tired of thinking about stupid people, so let's watch this video instead:

Calvin Haen Turns In Another Amazing Performance

2008-10-25T13:05:00.000-07:00

Calvin Haen has really come a long way since he made his debut on collegedudes247 in the spring this year. His physique is greatly improved and he is now an up-and-coming star. Here's the scoop: It has been a while since we have seen Justin, but we are glad he cam back to get drilled by Calvin! Calvin was so eager to drill Justin that he was pre-cumming a stream while he was going to town on Justins cock - and after Justin gave Calvin a good ass-rimming, Calvin shoved his cock deep in Justins hole and pounded him every which way until they both blow loads of hot jizz! To see more of Calvin and his playmate, click here.

Cidd Pierce Let's It All Hang Out

2008-10-25T12:48:00.000-07:00

Cidd Pierce is a new model out of the mid-west. He's recently made his debut on collegedudes247. Here's the scoop: Cidd Pierce has a huge hot cock, and Cidd sure shows us how he likes to use it. We love Cidd for not only his personality, but the way he really gets into his jerk off session. From the minute he took off his shirt and showed us his great abs to the nice creamy load at the end, Cidd really delivered! To see more of Cidd, click here.

What do you get when you put three of Randy Blue's hottest guys in a crazy, no holds barred three-way? You get two hot tops, Reese Rideout and Xander Scott, and a very satisfied Cody Fallon. Click here for the scene on Randy Blue.

The 411 on Auditions

2008-10-25T00:41:00.000-07:00

I'm proclaiming that "auditions" in the gay entertainment biz are bullshit. None of the studios Fierce Scouting works with (and they are all Top Ten online and DVD studios) requires a potential model to audition for work. This includes guys with absolutely no experience in the business.

What I have found about auditions are that the studios who do them are actually getting a filmed and photographed solo masturbation scene out of a newbie model in exchange for very low pay or - *gasp!* - no money at all. In the worst situations, the model doesn't even realize that their audition is going to be turned into a scene and thrown up on to a porn site and sold.

I don't have much more to say about auditions. I don't believe in them. I think they're bullshit. They're scams.

Here's the only auditions worth viewing:

How to Kill Your Porn Career In Under Ten Months

2008-10-22T13:46:00.001-07:00

I just got off the telephone with a fellow agent. We were talking about a model who we were both unknowingly promoting. This happens sometimes because some models think they are smarter than their agents (and the studios) and don’t think we all talk to each other (we do). The problem with working with two (or more) agents is that the model is supposed to be exclusive to one agent. Some agents have model contracts bounding them to be exclusive. I don’t do contracts because I feel if a model feels he can achieve their goals with someone else, they should be free to do so. It’s just how I work.

Back to the wayward model: like so many have done before, his number one mistake is (besides pissing people off in the industry) working with as many studios as possible at the start of his “career.” I use “career” lightly because I am predicting his will be finished before the end of the year. The idea that one should try to get as many gigs at first is a demon. Boys, it’s a mistake and Uncle Fred is here to tell you it’s the wrong way to go about this business.

When a model does a flurry of work with numerous studios (i.e. porn sites), he becomes over-exposed in the market place. When a model’s face (and cock, and ass, and everything else) is seen everywhere on different sites owned by different studios, this means he is less marketable because he’s everywhere. If a model with great potential works for a lot of C or D level studios, this means the A level studios are not going to be interested because the guy is already out in the market and is therefore not going to bring in new sales because consumers have already seen him.

The end result is that perhaps after four to six months of work, the model becomes a has-been and if he is really desperate for work, will accept two hundred dollar gigs here and there.

If a model is smart, he should acquire the services of an agent to help him navigate his entry into this business. A good agent will help a model gain entry into the industry the right way. A dumb model will try to do it his own way, make the wrong choices, and try to pull the wool over the eyes of the very people who are feeding him.

Tomorrow: why “test shoots” and “auditions” are bullshit.

Farewell Summer!

2008-09-20T13:33:00.000-07:00

It's been a busy summer at Fierce Scouting. First, we gained new clients and have been busy supplying models to numerous studios. This upcoming week alone, Fierce will have four models at two different studios. Getting the models work entails negotiating scene rates, checking travel availability, making sure the models are current on their STD testing, and keeping the studios happy. It's work that your Fierce scout loves!

The highlight of the summer was getting to visit my great friends at collegedudes247 in Ft. Lauderdale. It was a fantastic weekend. I had the pleasure of meeting Aaron James, Thor Martin, and Titus Gallen - three very hot guys who love performing. Then there was the supreme hospitality of Aaron and Abner, and having two fun nights at Boardwalk bar where Aaron James performed four shows (two a night).

Fierce is ramping up for the fall. I'm excited about the new guys coming into the business and who are going on to our roster. When I say "our," I refer to the company as a whole - the models and my two other scouts. I am going to be doing more work to promote the careers of our roster models, and the first to get the Fierce treatment is going to be Derrek Diamond. We are setting up a photo shoot to happen sometime within the next two or three weeks. If there is anyone in the San Diego area with a great location for photography, please let me know!

Back from Ft. Lauderdale

2008-08-25T23:34:00.000-07:00

Today I returned from spending four fabulous days in Ft. Lauderdale. I was guest of client-friends, took in Aaron James' two shows at Boardwalk on Friday and Saturday nights, and spent Sunday night on set for the production of a video (only as an observer, I promise). I will blog more later as my body acclimates back to west coast time.

Florida bound

2008-08-20T11:40:00.000-07:00

Fierce Scouting is headed to Ft. Lauderdale for an extended weekend courtesy of my good friends at collegedudes247. Part of the weekend includes taking in Aaron James' appearance at Boardwalk on Saturday night. I'll be returning Monday with pictures! I've never been to Florida (when you live in Southern California, why bother to leave?) and I'm looking forward to some great adventures.

Random Thoughts on a Quiet Wednesday

2008-07-30T11:29:00.000-07:00

Shake, Rattle, and Roll
Yesterday was a very dramatic day. I was helping someone through a very difficult situation via the telephone when the "earthquake" rattled through Southern California. I felt it in my bunker located somewhere in San Diego County. I didn't think it was a big deal. In fact, I didn't know it was such a big deal until friends in Virginia and Missouri started emailing or texting me asking me if I had felt the "earthquake." As I was sitting here dealing with someones personal drama, making deals and placing models for work, and talking to potential models about the business, I didn't give the little shake, rattle, and roll much thought. Then my bunker-mate was emailing me to make sure I knew how to shut off the gas and if I knew how to shut off her Mac computers. Then she wanted to know how the cats were (they were both sleeping at the time). After all of these earthquake induced inquiries, I decided to take a porn break and check out the top news listings on Google (I'm so thankful for the Internets). Sure enough, the top news story was regarding this "earthquake" from none other than the 'New York Times.' I could not, and still can not, figure out what the big deal was/is. It's as if this was the first "earthquake" everyone felt. Like I told my bunker mate via email, "I did feel it. But I continued to type while it happened. After it was over, I went to the bathroom and peed." Must have been a slow news day yesterday.

Email of the Day

Subject: amature fighter going pro will do porn

i trained MMA for 2 years now I do solid boxing.. I run 2 miles a day 6 pack abs 1000 crunchs and 500 pushs a day.. dont believe me I will perform 140 pushs in 1 set in front of you to prove my strength... i use to do 10 sets of 100 push ups now i do 5 sets of 100..
great body.. i might change careers to porn.. but i hope its a career and pay is well..
im persian got tattoos and I will do solo and straight sceenes..
hell I dont even care if 2 guys in same vid.. but no homo touching..

My favorite part of this email was the last part, "but no homo touching." Obviously, this person didn't take the time to read my advertisement, nor did he take the time to visit my website which is listed many times in my ad. In other words, he didn't bother to do his homework. I'm amazed by the amount of lazy people who just fail to read and send off incredibly stupid emails such as this to a talent scout who recruits for the gay adult industry! My response to him was that I didn't appreciate his remark about "homos," and I suggested he apply for a job at Wal Mart.

Lucas Entertainment Announces Travel Policy
Seems Michael Lucas is tired of flaky models who don't bother to show up for their flights. Who can blame him? According to the news story, a "disgraceful number of models" failed to show up for production on Lucas' upcoming project being filmed in Atlanta. Lucas' new travel policy, commencing in September, is that models will be responsible for booking their own travel and when the model shows up for work, he will be reimbursed. I say good for Lucas Entertainment. Lucas isn't the only production company with such a policy, and I predict that more studios will follow suit. The policy makes total sense to me. Studios invest thousands and thousands of dollars in production, whether it's a solo scene or a full-blown (pardon the pun) DVD movie. The problem is that there are assholes out there who feel they can either be late for a flight, or they just don't bother to show up for their flight and fail to notify the production company leaving everyone in a hole. Part of the problem is that these models may not be pre-screened and qualified fully to ensure they're right for this type of work. Folks, this is a business just like any other. I support this policy. There it is.

My favorite questions - part one

2008-07-11T22:58:00.000-07:00

I receive a lot of questions from potential models. It's part of my job. And I do honestly welcome questions because as I see it, it's my job to educate potential models about every aspect of the business. One question, though, that gets under my skin for some reason, is "can I wear a disguise?" Each time I'm asked that, I laugh out loud. The question comes in all flavors: "can I wear a wig?" "Can I cover my tattoos?" (because, certainly, the face won't give you away), "can I have fake tattoos?" (again, certainly because you face won't give you away), and, "can I wear a hat?" The last one was the latest installment asked of me today. Of course I said, "absolutely not."

Busy July

2008-07-08T23:57:00.000-07:00

July is turning out to be an incredibly busy month for Fierce Scouting. Deep within our home office in a secluded bunker somewhere in San Diego County, your Fierce Scout is working with a good number of potential models to bring them into the business. At the same time, I am placing existing models with studios and ensuring everything goes smoothly. Today I had a potential model from Riverside, CA stop by the Fierce bunker for a meeting about working in the business. As I was explaining to him, I rarely meet my models in person since 95% of them come from outside of San Diego and all of my dealings with them is done via email, instant messenger, text messages, or telephone. It can be a solitary existence. I can't say that I miss going to two or three hour meetings in my former career because I don't miss that at all!

Another Fierce Success Story + My Thoughts on Non-Porn Modeling

2008-06-13T20:01:00.000-07:00

Frequently, I am asked by potential models if I have any connections with getting models work in the fashion world, or what I would call "non-porn modeling." I usually laugh at this question because of my past experience with that genre of work. And this week's success story is why I find the pursuit of traditional modeling such a waste of time.

This feeling is really unlike me because I am usually the first to tell someone to follow their dreams. But this week I met James, a 21-year-old midwestern guy now residing for the time being in Southern California. James submitted himself to me recently and we had been in contact about his options for adult work. This week, I met him and shot his casting pictures on Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday night I had him submitted to an adult studio for casting. The next day, the studio informed me they were very interested in James. Today, he was offered work. With this particular studio, he will make at least $4300 next month. And if he desires it, he can continue to make more.

James is just one of many guys who fall into the trap of non-adult modeling. He had told me his parents had paid thousands of dollars for modeling classes and portfolios, and out of all of that time and money, he got one modeling gig from Willamina Models and was paid $3500, which didn't even cover the investment his family made.

The truth of the matter is that traditional modeling gigs are far and very few between. When I was promoting models for traditional work, the biggest gig was probably working for a dating site that hired two of my guys to hand out fliers at a gay pride event. Soon after, I threw in the towel and decided that I need to make money (what a concept). I knew I had the talent and the resources to make others money as well.

How many A&F models do you think there are? Maybe eight guys? Now, realistically, with hundreds of men on the roster at most agencies, what are the chances a newbie is going to win one of those slots? I recently chatted with another fellow from the midwest who had told me for years he's been submitting himself to traditional modeling agencies but "has never heard back." I told him that if an agency doesn't respond to a submisison, that is the answer.

James, my model, on the other hand, is going to make considerably more money than he could sitting around and waiting for Willamina to call him. And both he and I know that call just isn't going to come. James is smart in that he was presented with an opportunity and he has the brains enough to take it. The financial reward is going to put his life on track and bring opportunities he wouldn't otherwise have.
