What do you guys consider to be the best studios in todays age?

frostycab

@Kinkys You asked for the best, not the complete cross-section. I actualy have over 250 studios organised in my porn folder, and many that yet need to be sorted. I've got stuff from virtually enevry studio and genre you've mentioned, plus lots of fisting, toys, pup-play etc, but as I said I merely listed the studios that I will regularly download from without agonising about whether or not it will be worth it.

@ianfontinell With regards to CF and SC, it's very much a case of "If you've seen a few then you've seen them all." I've got a few TIM scenes purely because of the sex, but only keep the ones where therre's an actor I fancy who gets a lot of focus. The beefy, hairy growling types they normally have don't do anything for me, which is why I prefer scenes like the opening scene from Outlaws with the 2 attractive bottoms.

Disruptive, ASG Max and the like can be ok, but I probably skip more scenes than I download. Bel Ami has some very attractive guys, but I find most of them to be boring and same-y. I also think the sets put me off a bit as they're always incredibly bright. I've found that it doesn't matter how ow good the sex might be, if it's fighting against a rubbish story, bad camera work, unenthusiastic moaning and/or any one of a number of other factors it just isn't worth watching. That's why I avoid all the livestreams that people upload from Chaturbate and other such sites, especially the ensembles with 6 or 7 guys laughing with each other while not doing anything to warrant the donations they're getting.

On top of all of that, I find that seeing certain actors in a scene can ruin it for me, even if on-paper you might think they tick all the boxes. I'm thinking of people like Denis Reed, Josh Brady, Jay Tee and many others. Joey Mills has reached the point where every scene is a masterclass in bad acting.

@Kinkys I'll be honest I think I had a stroke trying to decipher that as well but I think I followed... Appreciate your insights though!

@ianfontinell Yeah it's a shame that MEN's performers are soooo fine. I have a shit ton of SC and CB torrented so I don't really feel the need to pay for either at this point. I also feel like I barely watch any of it. Mostly have it because I like to have a complete collection and find quite a few of the SC and CB hot af.

@frostycab subjective 100000%. I think I'd say I like both extreems of what your saying... I think my taste is super broad though... I only really dont like twinks, or eastern euro porn I'd say (love twunky kinds of guys though). But love the pure sex no story, love armature handcam style shots, but also love a good plot and professional production.

I think I'd say my like preference is big muscular guys getting railed, with a good plot backing it... I miss Joe Gage

I think I'll explore Raging Stallion or Falcon as my next sub (Like to have at least one to feel somewhat ok with torrenting everything else...)

I'll be 100% honest I have TB's worth of porn downloaded both in my personal personal collection and torrented files and I barely watch any of it... It's so weird but I find organising it all weirdly satisfying and it gets me off just as much as the porn itself... I guess I'm a data hoarder in every sense of the term. I really need to do a good clean out of my stash server. I cant be alone in this...

@Kinkys I fucking loved Out In Public and those other 'bait / fake real' series damn

raphjd

I still love BelAmi and similar studios.

The guys I like are uncut Twunks and Frats ("Jocks" as they are called on this site).

I actually also miss when porn was released as movies with plot and story,
I have a ASG sub right now but its again, its all gotten so same same lately.

Have you consider to submit your ideas? The submission period will close around July 1st 2026.

https://blog.asgmax.com/submit-your-ideas-now-member-fantasies-2026/

& I had an idea but I don't have the membership for ASG Max but I guess I can still submit my idea.

Kinkys

& My IDEAs are as followed:
Incest / Taboo / Sci-Fi / Fetish / Medical Themed / Military Themed porn of Fraternal Twins:
DisruptiveFilms biggest collaboration with Carnal+ GayCest & TransCest or ASG Max PrideStudios FamilyCreep or ActiveDuty or FalconStudios or NakedSword or RagingStallion (6 episodes of Top-Bottom, swap 4-way & flip-fuck, Gay & FTM & one bonus episode with porn super stars)

Episode 1 - Adam Snow (Top, mentally-ill gynecologist) & Ian Sterling (Bottom, genetic scientist working for underground mercenary) shared same fantasy of having a fraternal twin, mutually attracted when young (alternative: younger version of Adam Snow can be played by Brody Meyer & younger Ian Sterling played by Brogan NYC) & working in a project in creating super soldiers (Braxton Cruz & Marcus Knight Episode 6) married to each other & engage husband to husband sex after home from a few days work. Idea inspired from FetishForce 2023 production "Maniacal", NextDoorFilms 2026 production "Almost Real" & DisruptiveFilms 2021 production "The Last Course - Act I" sex scene of Trevor Harris fucking Johnny Hunter.

Episode 2 - The couples adopted Colt Spence (Big Dick Dominant Top) & Miles Fallon (Smaller Dick Slutty Bottom) to roleplay as their Step-Fraternal Twins Step-Sons to engage sex using ultrasonic to inspect the penetration of Colt Spence's Big Dick into Miles Fallon's anal cavity (collaboration with GayCest).

Episode 3 - Brogan NYC (Versatile, Step Brother of Adam Snow, Doctor) & Brody Meyer (Versatile, Step Brother of Ian Sterling, medic for the mercenary) secretly dating & get discovered by their mad brothers & they wanted the duo to role-play & flip-fuck as fraternal twins & the couples join into a steamy 4-way.

*Adam Snow (41) / Brogan NYC (35) / Ian Sterling (35) /Brody Meyer (37) / Donnie Argento (43) role interchangeable depends on the model preference...

Episode 4 - patient of Brogan NYC / Brody Meyer, Johnny Ford involved in car accident / gun-fight, needed blood transfusion, discovered that J.D. Manning (his affectionate lifetime fraternal twins) are not blood-related after blood test (Remark: Johnny Ford has real-life identical twins, casting J.D. Manning as substitute & flip-fucking is favorable!) Vers Top J.D. Manning has to take care of Vers Bottom Johnny Ford's daily needs & sexual needs. Idea inspired by https://www.disruptivefilms.com/en/video/disruptivefilms/Let-Me-Help-You/210419

Episode 5 - Lane Colten & Gray West did genetic test & medical checkup (reveal their genitals) & discover that they are not dizygotic fraternal twins of one male, Lane Colten & one FTM, Gray West. Adam Snow & Ian Sterling / Brogan NYC / Brody Meyer / Donnie Argento fuck the non-blood-related step-brothers with ultrasonic device to observe & feel the difference of the anal & vaginal penetration. (Collaboration with TransCest)

Episode 6 - Super soldiers Braxton Cruz & Marcus Knight (fail test-tube fraternal-twins created by Adam Snow & Ian Sterling when young) got captured by enemies & submitted to perform a role-play as fraternal-twins to fulfill fantasies of the enemies Paddy O'Brian & Sir Peter. (Collaboration to ActiveDuty)

Bonus Episode - Porn superstars Paddy O'Brian & Sir Peter received scripts to role-play as fraternal-twins brothers & performed medical test at Adam Snow's office or Brogan NYC's office before their scene of role-playing as fraternal-twins.

All model choices are based on their similar facial characteristics to enhance the viewers' feeling as fraternal twins fantasies.

RagingStallion movie "Rough" 2025 scene 2 where Braxton Cruz topping Johnny Ford. https://www.ragingstallion.com/en/movie/Rough/128939

@cgnz I come up with some wild ideas!

New Porn Series for ASG Max Originals featuring WRESTLING-themed with Contestants can be categorized into Grandpas, Daddies, Sons / Jocks / Twunks / Twinks, from different step-family (swapping 4some scene is super hot!, Cross-Production with other ASG Max Brands like ActiveDuty, DisruptiveFilms, FamilyCreep, NextDoorTaboo & also other studios compete as a challenger).
Contestants can also be categorized into their respective nation for examples: Hans Berlin represents Germany schlong, Guillaume Wayne & Dmitry Venum represent France baguette, Paddy O'Brian represents Great Britain, Sir Peter represents Portugal, Cody Seiya represents Japan...
Grandpas - Cain Marko Dale Savage Dallas Steele Dominic Pacifico Drew Sebastian Daddy John (challenger from MEN.com) Greg Dixxon Lance Charger Lawson James Matthew Figata Max Sargent Reese Scott (challenger from Carnal+) Rick Kelson
Daddies - Adam Ramzi Beaux Matthews Brody Meyer Bruce Jones Christian Wilde Cliff Jensen Chris Damned Dante Colle Derek Kage Draven Navarro Greg McKeon Hans Berlin Ian Holms Jax Thirio Joel Someone Reese Rideout Parker Savage (str8 stars) Paddy O'Brian Sir Peter (challenger from Falcon/NakedSword) Tito Patron (JerkBuddies) Tripp Tallon (challenger from BaitBuddies) Ty Roderick
Jocks / Sons - Baxxx Blain O'Connor Brandon Anderson Brock Kniles Carter Collins Carter Woods Casey Everett Colt Spence Dalton Riley Derek Spears Eddie Patrick Jaxx Cody (Falcon/NakedSword) Jayden Marcos JC Hunt Justin DaJock Justin Matthews Kane Fox Kyle Wyncrest Kyler Drayke Liam Hunt Max Adonis Nicholas Ryder Scott DeMarco Sumner Blayne Zac Barrett
Twunks / Twinks - Andrew Miller Andrew Delta Benvi Dex Devall Eric Charming Kyle Harper Grant Ducati Logan Aarons Max Mabry Nico Coopa Oliver Marks Ryder Owens Serg Shepard Trevor Brooks Trevor Harris Tony Genius Zac Steele
Str8 porn stars as cameo or debut in gay porn - Charles Dera Chad White (Mattox ChaosMen) Michael Vegas Nathan Bronson Ryan Driller (Jeremy Bilding) Seth Gamble Will Pounder

I think this probably warrants a new topic as it's diverged away from the title now.

DreamDick

I do like Raging stallion / Falcon Group Studios a lot, I think the style/production is pretty well done and keeping on brand with muscular / hairy men. the site used to be kinkier but they shifted fetish content over to fisting inferno (which I like also but gets less updates).
kink.men is great for the visual fidelity and technical mastery of fetish. very consistent in quality - they need some more diverse scenarios and roleplay though.
SC, corbinfisher, CockyBoys, Randyblue, cutlers den, timtales, VOYR (grouping these together as they output consistently good scenes and I feel are pretty similar)

4, menatplay, kristenbjorn - good euro porn

Disruptive / ASG is too much like a soap opera (even the acting/dialogue sometimes is overdone/bad). if you compare it to Raging Stallion you can tell just with the amount of dialogue, differences in lighting and sets - something is missing, older scenes are much better. some newer scenes are ok though.

I might bear MENcom scene very rarely, studio keeps doing very questionable scenes though so I also understand the hate.

Paul Morris's Treasure Island is a standout that sorta transcends gay porn. They were trailblazers who suffered backlash for being ahead of the curve. Their brand (of marketing and products) is distinctive and instantly recognizable.

They don't block scenes or direct actors; they document. . . situations that are authentically piggy are filmed in real time. Once considered the fringe outsider, Treasure Island is the titan of industry standing the test of time.
