Legendary bodies: Marco Ramazzotti

Marco embodies everybody’s fantasy of what an Italian stud is all about: tall, dark, impossibly handsome and adventurous yet romantic in bed. Despite his popularity, Marco soon retired: a matter of conflict with his ‘day’ job at first, then with his relationship(s). Yet, to this very day, Marco continues to rank #3 or #4 amongst our most popular, successful models. A testament to his sultry good looks and Mediterranean charisma.

Private File: Gaston

25 year old Gaston is from Calabria (the ‘toe’ of Italy). I flew him from Rome, where he attends college, to the production base in Catania/Sicily. Gaston was hoping for something ‘more’ than a simple casting. I wasted no time and put him to test: where did he learn to deep-throat like that? Without chocking? Now, that’s how we like our applicants here at LucasKazan: horny and hungry for cock. Bravo!

Gennaro

Believe me, tops are an endangered species: should we clone Gennaro Grimaldi, his raging hard on and his sexual charisma? A part-time baker and full-time stallion, Gennaro hails from Naples (can you tell?): he identifies himself as straight, but –much like all straight men truly comfortable with themselves and their sexuality– has no hangups and 0 inhibitions. Give him a willing ass and he’ll pound it with no less enthusiasm than his girlfriend’s

Porn: Q&A in Milan

An evening at the Circolo Harvey Milk in Milan/Italy. With an attentive crowd and engaging topics. Amongst them, two got my attention the most:

1. The dynamic between what the market offers today and what (most) customers demand. All too often I’m asked about plot-driven porn and production values. While I obviously care for both and both attracted me to porn some 20 years ago (let’s call it “auteur porn”. Porn as poetics, as Weltanshauung…), I ultimately run a business with a balance sheet. I stopped directing my ‘big-budget’ features back in 2008 (ITALIANS AND OTHER STRANGERS, GayVN Award Winner for Best Foreign Pcture), came back briefly with ROUGH/TENDER in 2010 and have left my assistants run the show since, with the cheaper ‘reality’ content and the hydraulics customers ask for these days.

2. Same goes with bareback content. While I’m committed to safer sex guidelines (a matter of personal responsibility for me and my label), I can’t pass judgement on my fellow producers keeping an eye on their bottom line and giving customers what they want. Can we effectively sell condom titles, when bareback vids, no matter how poorly produced, far outsell anything ‘mainstream’?

Ultimately, yes, I’m disappointed with gay audiences. Who favor unsafe sex, neglect eroticism, ignore production values and flock to gimmicky and often offensive gay-for-pay properties (Brokestraightboys, HazeHim and the like…).  I’m equally disappointed with the majority of wall to wall sex porn produced these days.

Yet I remain optimistic: audiences will eventually wake up and smell the coffee.  They’ll grow tired of this pseudo reality diet, its poor gimmicks and its aesthetic indifference. They will begin looking for something… MORE. And that is, my friends, what keeps me going: What will that MORE be? How will gay porn of the future look like
