1. 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).

2. 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.

3. 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.

looks like he quit porn and engages in ragebating on twitter now
IDK last I saw of him he looked pretty rough around the edges.

Fan produced content can be just as faked as studio porn (maybe less so but still). You always have to consider what shot looks good, editing, actors taking breaks between, etc. With studio porn you get a bit more budget and better cameras which some people just prefer. Usually with a director that can shoot and use proper blocking etc that can make a scene more memorable, give some scene some nice dialogue, set dressing, plot (?) - some older studio porn are still memorable for that reason

was hoping someone could identify this film https://www.machotube.tv/movies/467186/caught-by-baseball-players

I feel like this is an old hothouse flick but I forgot the name

yeah this sounds like a good idea for non-english clips. though usually it adds a lot subs the moaning / "fucks" during sex.
I have used whisperx with mixed results. not as automated as it should be and required a few retries and manual editing of SRTs.

apart from DMCA takedowns I am thinking:

1. studio doesnt push for regular updates - wouldn't be suprised if people dont keep their subs when content is dry (they have been putting out some good content lately though) compressed collections of recent content are available on this site.
2. I do see some AdultTime content here - the bi content though is not usually uploaded I think
   3 and 4 not sure if this content is actually worth watching imo
3. not familiar with that studio
   5 carnal doesnt really offer easy downloads anymore I think?
4. kinkmen content is usually very samey, when its good its good but most updates is just more of the same imho.

@ianfontinell-0
dominant top content usually attracts twinks imho.
a lot of the guys I am watching of lately arent really dom tops but vers or just 'dom-bottoms'

on top of my head some decent tops (though not sure if that is what you are after - alot of these guys are average looking)

https://x.com/TianTaoXXX

https://x.com/ReyXXL - not really a dom, just a good muscle top who loves loose holes (and fisting)

https://x.com/BeardedMasterX - moving into fetish/kink territory

sexystache is anothe one butu he is makes a better bottom

Some others that I am enjoying lately:

• Timothy Chance
• Mateo Tomas
• Braxton Cruz
• Micael Wilson
• Choloso
• Big Big Joey
• Alex Tikas
• Baby Bear

@ianfontinell-0 what are your favourite studios currently?
for me Raging Stallion, MenAtPlay, HOM, Fetish, RFC are my safe go to's for content. (hmm all naked sword owned I believe? though I think they were much better when they were independent)
Eric Videos, Crunchboy, Citebeur, Kristen Bjorn, gaysight are others that I enjoy watching

euro porn is just so much better overall, US companies will always use the same 'parody' style as mendotcom (though there are some exceptions) - suspect many of them are run and produced by women and 'bisexuals'. nothing against that but sometimes I think you can tell

who is he sucking?

amature content is always good from JFF / OF / RFC

Raging stallion/Falcon/NS is probably the only studio close to the old style with big productions etc.- even if its simplified alot from the early days - and usually they get straight into the action

titan men is surely missed these days.

dont like any of those studios either. though sometimes sayuncle and gaycest have some good stuff - I am generally not a fan of twinks (like the most stereotypical to the max ones ) and the themes are a little too much.

men dot com the worst (feels AI generated) - though the guys are attractive
bait bus - not a fan of the theme
tim tales I like (some of the men are my type and tim kruger is a legend)

tim fuck / treasure island - can make really good stuff from time to time but the guys are real ugly

disruptive media - dissapointed with this studio + ASGMax - used to have some good scenes but has gone down hill ever since the merger

lucas entertainment - very attractive guys but a little boring

one director I dont like tom moore - not sure why but his I find most of his stuff awful ( I like the other directors from fetish/fist central more and you can tell which ones he usually directs)

Yes you can, I do this because my bank rejects transactions from adult sites at times. You can get reloadable ones too.

anyone know the name of this porno?

The orville reminded my a bit of the bad first season of the Next generation (with the occasional good episode sprinkled in there). So it's charming, despite it being a bit boring at times.

Discovery is… problematic for many reasons, it can't establish a persistent setting, cast of characters or a storyline - characters die and there isn't any proper pacing. I honestly cannot grasp what this show is about now that I've gone through the most current episode and that's alarming.

Trek shows always have a rocky start, but at least the writer's set a general idea of where the show is heading.

I'm using my pia VPN and proxy and torrenting through my qbittorrent client. This set up usually works for public torrents, but torrents from this site don't download when I'm using the proxy. I need to disable the proxy for downloads to progress. Not a major issue for me, but is there a way to get it working?
