Ugh. Sad. I'm a good person so my doors are open for Czech porn refugees.
The Downfall Of Czech Gay Porn Studios
- Thread starter solagt
- Start date
Even Eastboys seems to have abandoned the East(ern Europe) of its own name recently and started recruiting models from South America instead.
I stumbled upon this thread wondering the same thing and I feel like you guys confined it for me. American gay porn was great in its time but I feel like no one can compete with mere beauty during the height of Czech gay porn. During the 90s to at least 2014 Czech porn had some of the hottest guys I couldn't believe exist. Guys you would see and stare at in glimpses as you pass down the street. It wasn't until I got older that I realized that all or most of the models I was jerking off to was straight. The type of guy I could never get unless I was paying for it.
Pornography was once seen as a good lucrative job ( if at least part time job ) in the Czech republic for years but I think their must be a new cultural shift happening today that the young men are not considering it anymore. Only the truly desperate must be signing up now.
Does anyone live in the Czech republic who could investigate the mindset of the people there?

Well actually Higgins himself did not had big stake into daily production anymore that much in the recent years. The main reason why there are less models and by that less good looking is indeed economy. For like 3-4 years now the Czech Republic is the european economy with the lowest unemployment rate at around 2-3%. I remember well what amazing guys i got 2015-2017 still. Now mostly trash. OF ist really a factor as that is hard to build and most models lack interest, they want money NOW not tomorrow.
Well he does face the same issues as all others. Although, right now Colombia is like in everyones mouth (and ass), from str8 to gay producers, all go there as its cheap as hell.
For BelAmi:
They sit on a 3 years archive of scenes. But even they had to increase payment or did just offer webcam work, as boys are more keen to jerk of on cam than have real sex.
Porn industry had these issues over and over. When america was expensive, many did go to east europe. In the 2000s you did get every boy you wanted, even if it was just for fun and not for porn.
Nowdays, if you dont know many people who look constantly for models... or pay bad... you get the trash.
Just look at the decline of Staxus. They been after BA in 2015. Now they use the same model in nearly every scene, did reduce updates and all is shot in the same place. Although there is the same issue as with WH, no more gay in ownership or in significant positions.
Personally I see the biggest issue not for Staxus or the others in the same league like boyfun. But more for BelAmi. Cause they basically lost their unique selling point, the amazing guys who looked like real models.
I agree whay you wrote about Staxus. Decline. But I don't give up the hope. I think Staxus can renew.
Yes, only one new scene per week (in past: three, then two), but some new thing.
Great marketing idea they introducing "Stx International School", spanish and english performers.
The scenes not a totally best, but good enough. A little copy-paste of Helix Academy feeling.
But according the twitter users it's a great succes.
Yeah I was actually going to say that Staxus has definitely a Helix vibe. Though the models in both Staxus and Helix seem to have a endless amount skinny femboys ( whom are lovely, joel in particular ), they still look like guys you can see easily on the street. The original models (though straight and controversial ) were guys whom you were forbidden to approach and endlessly fantasized about. The football player, soccer star, pro athlete ect.
I doubt that Staxus can get back into anywhere near to old glory.
Reasons:
- No more gay owner since 2021
- They did spent too much money in 2020/2021 by employing the main scout of BA, paying models more than normal and also running too many updates at that time. For a company in gay porn more than 1 update with a sex scene makes no sense in most cases. There are exceptions for sure...
- They decline of avaliable and quality of models in the czech republic.
Staxus still lives from the former glory and the name is well known, thats a plus. But no more gays involved in anything inside the company is visible
Boyfun did better actually because they did mix models and exchange the shooting place all the time.
Dont get me wrong, the producer there is clearly not capable of shooting nice content, bad lights, bad cam work. No comperisation to the old staxus producer who was a real videographer who produced great scenes in the past.
For me, Staxus' old glory was Vlado Iresch era.
Totally agree "Staxus still lives from the former glory and the name is well known".
In past, I think Staxus better than boyfun, but now its opposite.
BelAmi cause is interesting. No problem with archives, if content good materials. Sometime really new performers: Jorik Tautou and Tom Houston. And waiting Oscar Scholz (Not including a lot of only 1-2 solo scenes performers)
I am not sure when but, Belamionline decided to take down all of their old videos and only have them avaliable for DVD purchase. Right around the time my flashdrive died lol. But their quality and scripted scenes are as good as ever. But most of their senior models from 2012 are still around and hott enough ( luckily ). I think Belamionline still find decent models and train them up for scenes, as well as their physical appearance. But they seem to have a hard time keeping them.
But in regards to Staxus, Is John not filming scenes anymore for the company? He was the main force behind the Dominican collaborations in 2014 and most of the videos on the site since then.
Indeed, Vlado did had luck as he was in the right time in the right place. Means, it was very easy to find models. Boyfun now is indeed better now with models as staxus but from a quality of production staxus got worse and boyfun is still bad as its the same producer who was in around 2014/2015 also at staxus for some scenes (the UK ones). They guy still doesnt know anyhting about light or how to shot a scene, but hey the models are better and rescue it.
The BA scenes you see right now are nearly always 2-4 years old. So no the performers are no longer around but they did produce many scenes with them and slowely release it to keep the fans as subscribers.
Well, BA is just a company and they work as such. Means they rather remaster their old scenes and sell them in a different manner. Who from 2012 is still around really right now shooting? I know a few from that time and as far as i know zero from that time shoot still.
John Smith is still there somehow. But many scenes are not done by him anymore but by some other guy.
Its called cost reduction. John was always really good in that but the production itself took hours (sometimes up to 6h!). So Models didnt like it since others like the boyfun guy do it in 2-3h (although way less quality tbh).
To be fair, John Smith also has/had good scenes.
But Iresch's dynamic was different. Much more varied oral part, more cum to mouth / cum to tongue, lengthy cleaning of the cummy cock with tongue, better camera angles.
John often only does oral, anal, the top fucks bottom, the bottom jerks his own belly, and top cumming bottom's ass or facial, but cum to mouth rarely.
And Iresch scenes bigger budget. Location, eg. fire department, and not just fire fighting costumes, but big red fire trucks in the scenes. Renting and licensing couldn't have been cheap!
Actually, that is the biggest draw for me to czech sites. They include normal people in their porn. with moles, scars, small dicks, bellies, crooked teeth etc and show that they can be just as hot to watch.
I would primarily say prostate cumming or handsfree cumming, or cumming while getting fucked. Staxus manage to have quite a few good scenes like that which simulates good sex. Plus the models were regular guys and tented to not fake it( orgasm ). Unfortunately BA doesn't have a single cumming handsfree video, only cumming prematurely while jerking off. But the main thing in Czech porn where the models expression.
Yes, sometime regular next-door-type guy is cute.
At now some modells wearing more make-up than Kim Kardashian. Thats unnaturally.

Hi guys . I'm Charly, I belong to the Staxus production team (specifically to the STX International team).
I have been reading carefully the post and I just wanted to inform you that we take good note of the above .
While Staxus is going to proceed to major changes this 2023 ( STX is the first case of this ) It is always good to see what users expect from us, what we like and where we fail.
I will continue to keep an eye on this forum and will pass on the information to the teams.
excuse my english

Today's equivalent of the hot czech models are russians boys, and to a much lesser extent colombians. And they are mostly on streaming websites (CB, SC, F4F, etc). I see very few boys from the US or Europe there.
Also one thing to keep in mind with those studios is that they have pretty much all been hacked. I signed up with unique email alias specific to each website and on pretty much all of them, I started receiving spam or logon attempts to my mail server using those aliases within weeks.

Your site is awesome and has made some of the most memorable content over the years that I grew up on lol. The guys being hott was one thing but the passion that was created through scenarios was great. It felt like the guys were real guys off the street or neighborhood. I am sure whatever you do going forward will be worth the subs. But could you guys keep remastering your old videos?
Yeah they are on the streaming sites because of OF being banned or just not doing business in russia. Too bad really. The few models I communicated wth before Feb 2021 was faithful and open to request. Many of whom probably would be rich by now. But what hott columbians would you you recommend?
BelAmi was at its zenith when Trevor Yates was the big star. It hasn't been the same since his retirement.
