GAYVN
Rapper Milan Christopher
Joins Fleshjack Family
Interactive Life Forms, makers of Fleshlight and FleshJack
brand products, has announced a partnership with television
personality, rap phenomenon and LGBT advocate Milan
Christopher in the launch of new FleshJack custom-molded sex
toys.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Milan Christopher
join the FleshJack family,” said Daniel Harvell, director of the
FleshJack line. “We’re ridiculously lucky to be able to partner
with this modern-day Renaissance man. Milan’s a musician, a
television star, an entrepreneur and an activist—it’s no wonder
that so many men and women are in love with him. Fans of
both Milan and adult toys are going to go crazy for this new line
of true-to-life products.”
The new line of FleshJack toys—a dildo and FleshJack
sleeve—were molded from Christopher’s anatomy during his
visit to the company’s offices in Austin, Texas, in December
2017. Christopher’s sleeve has its own texture, designed and
produced in the USA. His dildo captures every detailed inch
that Christopher revealed in his infamous Paper magazine
beefcake spread from 2017.
Christopher is a songwriter, producer and music artist. He’s
also a member of the GLAAD Foundation and the Human
Rights Campaign, and an NAACP Gentlemen of Artistry
recipient.
“When the Paper magazine spread hit, a lot of toy companies
reached out with offers, but I was only going to work with the
best,” said Christopher. “And that’s exactly what FleshJack
is; they have an unbeatable reputation. My fans are going to
love these toys. I’m giving them exactly what they’ve always
wanted—a chance to take me home with them.”
Fleshlight was established in 1995, while FleshJack was
created in 2007 as a toy line for the gay male market. The
company is based in Austin, Texas, and has facilities in Canada,
Europe and Australia. For more information, visit

Dirk Yates to Produce
and Direct Content for
Active Duty Imprint
Gamma Entertainment has announced the addition
of military fetish legend Dirk Yates as producer and
director for its Active Duty imprint.
Dirk Yates, known for brands such as Military
Uncovered and BrickYates.com, will extend his
lifetime pursuit of filming buff, hung military
men for Active Duty. A veteran of the adult
entertainment industry for more than three
decades, the 2018 GayVN Hall of Fame inductee is
considered a pioneer within the military/uniform
fetish niche and a complementary asset to the
Active Duty brand.
Originally founded in August 1998 and later
acquired by Gamma Entertainment and the Buddy
Profits affiliate program in 2014, Active Duty
features real amateur all-American military guys
in hardcore and solo videos. Active Duty will
continue to release two new weekly updates: a
hardcore video featuring real military guys and a
solo featuring new recruits, all under the reins of
Dirk Yates.
“I have a great deal of respect for Dirk Yates
and his level of expertise and passion. His vision
will strengthen Active Duty’s presence within
the popular military niche,” said Stephan Sirard,
president of Zubb Media.
Yates added, “It’s an honor to join Active Duty as
I feel our combined talents will continue to extend
Active Duty’s reach, while offering the highest
quality content within the military niche. I’m very
excited about the future.”
Content produced and directed by Dirk Yates will
be coming to ActiveDuty.com in August.
Black Boy Addictionz
to Feature Crossover
Debut of Jahan Ace
BlackBoyAddictionz.com recently announced
that its summer lineup will include
the exclusive gay porn debut of former
professional basketball player turned amateur
straight porn star Jahan Ace. This news
comes less than a month after their debut of
crossover star Jay C (formerly JC Power and
Axil Miller) in his first gay role.
Jahan Ace initially made a name for himself
sharing amateur solo and straight videos on
sites like OnlyFans and ConnectPal. Over the
past year, he has increasingly catered to his
large and growing gay fan base by including
ass play and rimming in some of his videos.
But he has never actually performed in any
scenes with another male—until now.
“Traditionally, straight porn stars like Jahan
Ace have had to choose between one side of
the industry or the other,” explained BBA’s
owner and director Michael Galletta. “But
thankfully we seem to be entering an exciting
new era when a small but growing handful of
open-minded male performers from the world
of straight porn are showing a newfound
respect and appreciation for their LGBT fans,
and on rare occasions even ‘crossing over’ to
do gay and bisexual porn.”
While Black Boy Addictionz has featured
familiar special guest stars in the past, these
recent crossover appearances by Jay C and
Jahan Ace are at a level beyond anything the
site has offered before, according to Galletta.

HomoMania.com Gay Porn Blog Debuts
Veteran amateur porn producers Chris Koloff and Andy
Fair describe HomoMania.com as their “ugly offspring,”
designed to showcase “the low-rent gay porn that big
blogs and award shows won’t talk about.” Explaining his
vision for the blog, Fair says, “Virile young men running
naked along a beautiful beach and tumbling to the sand … we hate that!”
In the release, the creators say they won’t “elevate gay erotica as some sort
of legitimate art form to validate its consumption. Instead, HomoMania.com
features the kind of base, visceral filth that the internet was originally built
upon.”
The idea came to Koloff and Fair at a recent industry awards show. “Every
awards show is the same,” said Koloff. “If you don’t have a giant studio
with perfectly groomed muscle meatheads or twinks who resemble hairless
chihuahuas, you usually have to pay to play by sponsoring
the event. We started talking right out loud at the awards
show planning this project. No one listens to us anyway so
it wasn’t any big deal.”
HomoMania.com seeks to showcase the underdogs of
porn. “Got a twink with crossed eyes and one leg? Let us showcase him,” said
Koloff. “As long as your stuff is legal, creative and queer, we’ll give you the
spotlight for 15 minutes.”
The site also will cover queer politics and stories of the day. The team even
promises a feature titled “Cumming on Assholes,” with pictures of anti-queer
offenders getting a face full of jizz.
