You can tell when he likes the performer he is with otherwise he's not eager at all.

It actually saddens me to say this, but even though they work with really sexy actors, a title by either of these studios is almost definitely a dead-eyed snoozefest. I think it's because they fail to realise that directing a porn film should be more than picking a series of poses, telling the actors to do them, and then filming it for 10 minutes as if it were a tableau vivant before moving on to the next pose for another almost static 10 minutes.

Also, I'm a rabid foot fetishist but William Higgins' feet videos are insufferably bad.

the first time i saw pics of him getting fucked were super hot.
so i download the porno.
the second i hear him speak with his accent i was like…...well my boner is dead.
still cute though

Trystan Bull. Hot guy, meh in sex scenes.

Generally, guys that don't kiss, don't suck and are "Top" only get boring when you watch their nth video topping.

Zeb Atlas got a bit interesting when he finally sucked cock, but went back to being boring right after. At least Paddy O"Brian gets fucked now and then, so I at least enjoy seeing him squirming in those.

Men.com for me is where pornstars go to die in my book lol.  Once they show up on men.com, it just kills my lust for them.  Fake verbal is a huge killer, even more so when there isn't any passion and kissing.  You'd think just having another man inside of you or you inside of another guy would at least give some emotion to hold the guy and be like in the moment.  If I was a porn director with gay-for-pay models, I would be like...why the fuck are you even here...you SUCK at this job...go be artistically creative on a pizza or sub.

I would say, TimTales has the best.  Lately, they're the only studio with movies I can actually watch and and get turned on.  Otherwise I just watch kinky fetish porn.  Which....actually....kink.com has killed my love for fetish porn.

maybe I Just need to stop watching porn lol

Anyone got Porn Actors that you think they look good in pics but they look bad in film/porn? Or the way they act/have sex is just blerch to you?

For me its Topher Di Maggio - I don't know why but there is something about him that turns me off

I would have to say Cody Cummings.  For YEARS, I and many other people were eager for Cody to have sex with a guy instead of just bi stuff and blowjobs.  Cody looks great… but.. when he finally went "gay" it was a massive disappointment.

To me, looks are not as important as camera angles and whether the performer is enjoying himself. 
It annoys me when the performer's face is not in view for extended periods of time. 
Far too often, the performers look like they are bored and just going through the motions to get it over with. 
Surprisingly, "Straight" (gay for pay only) performers seem to enjoy themselves or at least ACT as if they are enjoying themselves more than gay performers.  I remember many years ago, there was a live webcam site that had daily male duos.  On one performance, the bottom was laying on his stomach with the top laying on top screwing him.. and while this is going on, the bottom was reading a book!!!!!!!

Hmm, Interesting. For me it's not so much a turn-off as there just seems to be a spark lacking in general from the actual performances, even though they look great in stills.

I can't single anyone out- I will more use a studio like Staxus for the most part as an example. Also some scenes from Helix. I love the stills and they have some hot models, and the teasers they release look great. But the sex itself feels mechanical- like it's something they need to get done, and there is something that makes them unable to connect with their partner.   

You pick on Staxus, Helix, and Trump. 
I think if we ever met, it would be like matter meeting anti-matter and the universe would implode.

Dare I ask.. what studios you DO like?

I also get what you mean about Cameron Foster, though I've seen him perform okay with the right scene partner.

That's exactly how I feel about 90s Falcon Porn lol
