The Downfall Of Czech Gay Porn Studios

I think it's tempting to lionize the past. If you look at a lot of 90s physical media coming out of Eastern Europe, there are some very cute guys, but a lot of very plain guys. Peter Azur (aka Peter Rush) the star of "Boy Crash" and "Internat" for example...

My favourite Peter Azur's film is "Sexy Job"

No. Orbán will stay with us forever.

(but there is no connection. porn is not banned in Hungary, and even after 2010, Hungarian guys went to BelAmi)
Banned? Its for sure not banned.... Budapest is the PORN CAPITAL of Europe!!
At least for str8 porn. Would say, 50% is done there. The rest is split between Prague and Barcelona.
But for gay porn its dead as it can be.
I remember when staxus had the hungarian producer and they kicked him as he just wasnt able to find boys. And that was 2016/17.
BelAmi got more money, and they know how to work on the boys.
And you need to know, many boys dont make it to porn scenes as BelAmi brings them very often to Webcam only to make them easier about the whole stuff. Many just stop after.
I am still in touch with a slovak who did some scenes 2 years ago in south africa...still not released. or another slovak who just did 2 solos and didnt like the work with them (I work on him to get him for me now).
 
And I agree that Of is great for the proformer, although the proformer can produce or not produce the type of content the consumer is looking for or not deliver at all and fully make a profit. Some porn studios know their models may potentially make a OF and contract them on contingencies. So the power is still shifting
Generally, from my own research and from what models who run an OF and other producers tell, OF customers are mostly a different kind. So its not full canibalisation there OF steals models or customers.
Most OF models would never do porn in the first place. And mayn OF customers just dont find on normal porn sites what they get with OF.

On OF you get personal contact (well often just fake by some OF agency who writes with customers), and just more of THAT ONE MODEL.

Porn sites rather have a broader approach, they deliver different models, differnt scenes. Sometimes locations and stories you wouldnt think of doing as a OF model. If you look to VR content, to str8 porn studios like Vixen or Lustfilms who do even full featured Movies (like real movies with full story).

If i get OF models, that usually by telling them that they can gain more customers by being on a porn site (its a selling channel for them). Mostly they just refuse and most of them with a attitude like "I am a superstar". Well more like a one day fly for me‍♂️

What Poland sites are you referring too
I don't know any Polish homosexual porn sites. I remember I saw one dvd Polish porn film in a sex shop in Soho, London around 2004 I think. On the dvd cover the was group of young good-looking, athletic built most of them light and dark blond, wearing traditional folk customes, forming in a semi circle all with their penises hanging out staring at the photo camera. At the back was the website of the production company, I don't remember the name of it but it was something www.namedcompany.pl and the headquarters was located in Warszawa (Warsaw), Polska (Poland).
 
Would religion not have been a severe impediment to recruiting Polish guys in the adult entertainment industry? Poland is the most religious European country after Vatican City. More than 90% of Poles identify as Catholic, then and now. The contrast with the Czech Republic, one of the least religious practicing areas in Europe, is like night and day.
Maybe many aspects was slightly different during the 1990's as with the a lot of economic disruptions throughout most of that decade. Probably 'Kristen Bjorn' and 'William Higgins' might find a steady surplus of fit young men, as Poland is the third largest Eastern European country in population terms, exchange of quick, easy monetary gain in return of strict anonymity in their home country, that was before the huge profileration of the internet. Or any potential Polish performers could be brought to Bratislava, Budapest, Prague just to film scenes there?.

Many of my favourite classic Hungarian based homosexual pornographic films The Vampire of Budapest (Kristen Bjorn/1995), Comrades in Arms (Kristen Bjorn/1995), Hungary for Men (Kristen Bjorn/1996), Hungarian Rhapsody (Conny Haller/1998), Mansized (Matt Sterling/1999), Revved Up (Matt Sterling/1999), Loss of Innocence (Steve Cadro/1999), Knock Out (Herve Handsome/1999), Farm Boys (Herve Handsome/2000), This Is Huge (Matt Sterling/2000), Under Arrest (Herve Handsome/2000), Border Patrol (Herve Handsome/2001), Hung Bunch (Steve Kiraly/2001), Naval Force (Steve Kiraly/2001), The Conquest (Steve Kiraly/2001).

Well, in anycase its safe to assume that money has always been a primary motivater. Which could be a curse or a blessing based on prespective. In some cases a nessary evil as most of these boys would not even consider showing their beauty with anyone, let alone the broader world. Its funny as most of these boys don't know or realize how beautiful they really are lol.

What ever you are producing secondsky, I hope it turns out great. Either it is something private or you plan to share, I hope you are able to produce some beautiful material

Lets face it guys. Its not just czech porn.
I hear quite some rumors about Helix.... that they dont pay affiliates. Also more solos than real sex scenes recently. They are clearly somehow in trouble.

Gay porn industry isnt doing as good as you might think.
Boyfun is only able to operate as it got str8 porn sites (Karups) to lower the overall costs of the business.
 
I blame OF, it almost ended in Oct 2021 when they announced they were stopping pornographic content. Someone they survived that situation and continued to destroy the porn industry from within. With most OF creators bull shit their customers. OF should be destroyed

There are a fe OF creators who really do great content. BUT, for the amount they make/made its crazy what they output. Sorry but Reno Gold 1 Million USD revenue in 1 year????
For that amount you can open up your own BelAmi.
Some customers there are really so crazy to pay for a 10-15 min video 20 dollars.

And some creators are pure scam. Good looking str8 guys who pretend to be gay or let the question open and do the bromance thing, and if you subscribe you get only a few pics and maybe you are lucky and the rest is PPV there they ask even more money.

And then the chats... 90% is done by agencies, without joke. All big pornstars and nearly all sucessful creators have that. Its costs them a bit, but if you make 50k per month you can spend 10% to not have to deal with crazy love blinded fans.

And generally, if a porn site woiuld operate like OF that you dont see even a bit what you might get behind the pay wall... we would have chargeback rates by credit card companies that would lead to a clousure of our merchant account and we would nearly stop to operate instantly as no new money...

But right now its also a huge decline in customers who subscribe to porn due to global economic situation.
And some companies are just run really bad. Gosh i could tell stories, one would hammer his head to the wall how stupid some studios acted in the past.... like staxus buying Mens Best porn catalogue.... huge investment, zero outcome.

Generally I see a consolidation in str8 porn at least, many studios did give up and been bought by the guys behind xvideos in recent months. Also a czech company....

That Polish-Pie.com website is from 2003?, that is quite a long time ago. The layout format reminds me a Romanian 'gay' pornographic website that I saw first online around 2002, I think it ceased to exist around 2004. The website was written in Romanian and English both options, they had a wide range of body types muscular, athletic, slim, there was hardcore sex to solo scenes. The production value in my own opinion was between to mid to low range. Most of the performers was aesthetically cute and there was some what look like ethnic Roma/Romani/'Tigani' on their roster as well.

Interesting you mention Romania in 2003 to 04. I was too young then to know of porn but I know of a British man name Tom who was " Recruiting " young guys from Germany to Romania to preform in a porn site he established. He even offered spcial contact with the models he hired for a special price. By the time I learned of this the site has been long extinct and Tom has disappeared. I was curious to learn more about the site and the models who preformed in the videos if not see the videos themselves. Aside from German boys I believe most of the models were either From Romania or Roma people who lived in Italy. Both Romania and Roma people are extremely poor, even poorer than the Czech economy prior to 2013. However Both Roma and Romanian guys seem to be less desirable on the menu as porn standards go.

If you have any info on the topic I'd be interested to learn the conclusion

Romanians are very much cheaper than Czech and Russians even today but no one seem to scout them.

I remember some low budget romanian gay porn movies in the past with unattractive performers and no bareback.

BUT! Don't forget two hot romanian models at Staxus!
Jared Shaw and Charlie Keller!

Yes Jared Shaw is great. He is one of the few Romanians who in porn right now for the past 6 years. He started n Chaturbate then switch over to professional porn in 2018. He started at Staxus to Eastboys then Boyfun to finally Ughhh Onlyfans. He has one of the best bodies in porn right now in Europe and America

But Charlie Keller is not Romanian, he is from Island. He gave a interview I think describing how hard it was to be gay in Island and could not wait to emigrate any other country.

Yes, I totally agree about Jared.
But Charlie Keller is ethnically romanian* and adopted in Iceland. I read an online news.
*At least romanian-icelandic.
