Testosterone is the main male sex hormone. It is made in a man's testicles and adrenal glands. During puberty, testosterone plays a very important role in creating physical changes like increased muscle mass, deeper voice, hair growth, frequent erections and semen production. Having optimal testosterone levels is also important throughout a man's adulthood and even into old age. In adults, healthy levels are important for general health, muscle mass, body composition, and sexual function. As we age, men's testosterone levels tend to drop, leading to loss of libido and muscle mass, as well as lower energy levels. While the number one thing a man can do to boost his testosterone is exercise, number two is to adjust his diet. Diets rich in specific foods can greatly enhance a man's testosterone levels, and libido. Some of these foods include leafy green vegetables, fatty fish, ginger, pomegranate, nonfat milk, egg yolks, olive oil, beef, beans and almonds. Some foods that are known to improve sex drive as aphrodisiacs include dark chocolate, avocado, green tea, walnuts, watermelon, olive oil, oysters, salmon and bananas. In this video, we see Pierce prepare a high-testosterone meal for Wes, and then reap the benefits of their throbbing libidos. Featuring Pierce Paris, Wes Myers.

This film is about bringing tenderness and affection into relationship to men's perception of power through balancing athletic prowess and "bro culture" with nurturance and attuning to each other's sensual needs. "Good Game, Bro" is a fantasy of what sports players long for from their teammates. Though these models look the part of athletes, we also see them open up to each other in a very sweet, nurturing, caring way -- something that athletes often struggle to do because of internalized misogyny and homophobia. Featuring Andre Donovan, Jack Bailey. Original release date: September 21st, 2020.
As gay men, we have been persecuted for sex and prohibited from action on our desires by force, ostritiziation, moral injunctions, and so-called divine decree. As a result, we are often touchy about boundaries, experiencing them as "rules." However, rules are imposed from the outside, whereas boundaries are an experience of one's own inner knowledge and the intersection of action and constraint. As a modern gay culture, we fuck for permission. We fuck as many as possible. We find power in expansion of our empires, acquiring man after man. We might overlook the tremendous power of containment, not on moral authority, but because it can also feel like heaven to put ourselves through the "hell" of wanting and wanting for the pure pleasure of denial. It is a reclaiming and overturning of the prohibitions that have been placed upon our bodies from the outside in. This time, it is I who denies myself. Featuring Alex Faux, Clark Lewis, JP Dubois. Original release date: February 10th, 2020.
The American military has been an organization in which many men have identified with a strong, masculine, exterior. In most ways, this role conflates the masculine persona with "doing," "action," "might," and "performance." These qualities create an action-based perception of self-identity and leaves out the many softer expressions of the man as a whole. Moreover, in porn, black men typically play stereotypical roles that don't reflect the complexities of real people having real sex. During a phone conversation, Dillon said, "I like the idea of having sex on camera the way I do in real life. The sex I enjoy is more romantic, more sensual." And this video becomes an opportunity to show that -- in contrast with both the military backdrop and the expectations of viewers. In sex, men often elevate a subsequent and dramatic performance of socialized "power" masculinity rather than a true expression of their authentic eroticism. Eroticism comes from within. It is born from an intrinsic sense of self, one's own emotional landscape, boundaries, and the determination to ask for what one wants. Honorable Discharge eroticizes and glorifies nurturance as preeminent in our proposed model of power. Featuring Andre Donovan, Dillion Diaz. Original release date: December 14th, 2020.
