Daily Xtra confirms what we already knew…

Online gay magazine [link url=”http://dailyxtra.com/” title=”Daily Xtra” target=”_blank” /] has published an article earlier today and the title of the article immediately grabbed my attention. It reads: “Why Europeans are increasingly hot in North American porn?“

Canadian editor Graeme Gerrard explains it as follows: “European porn stars are becoming increasingly popular in North American porn. It’s easy to see why. They have a tendency toward naturally muscled bodies, subtle beards and well groomed body hair, making California porn stars look like fake, blond, plastic dolls by contrast.“

Without disrespecting some of our American colleagues (or even competitors), we all know that Graeme is right. Actually, European porn stars are not only becoming increasingly popular in North American porn, European porn stars in general are very hot and real, no matter in which production they appear.

I would (perhaps obviously) agree. But I think it goes further than this too. American gay porn, on the whole, is the same thing over and over again. It's the same guys, all a little *too perfect*, doing the same things. The imagination behind their scenes is severely lacking. While it is hot to see straight jocks being serviced, there's no need to have ten sites all doing this, with no stories, no themes, no interesting settings, no real production to the action. Anyone can make porn like that given enough money and access to models. Staxus (and a minority of American sites) do things a little differently and are seeing the fans respond to it. Making it "more Human", for want of a better phrase, means the fans actually connect rather than just watch. It's no accident that the most popular sites seem to have a following, a community, and add more to their scenes than just filming two guys doing the predictable.
