This month in Adam Gay Video XXX Showcase we're again featuring Big Blue Productions. Our last Big Blue cover was for Musclemen Moving Co. 2 some months ago (spotlighting newbie bodybuilder Cody Miller) and the latest from director Blue Blake is The Muscle Pit, his latest raunchy sexpic featuring "straight guys" and lots of cum-eating, to say nothing of a terrific double-penetration delivered to the wondrous Josh Weston by musclemen Brad Rock and Robert Van Damme. The latter stud is featured on our cover this month alongside the ever-magnetic Marco Paris.
If you want to see more fiery pics from The Muscle Pit, visit your local neighborhood porn emporium (or click over to AdamGayVideo,com) and pick up a copy of The Films of Blue Blake. All of the director-turned-star's films as a helmer are featured, as well as a handful of select films from his days as an acclaimed performer. The mag is packed with hardcore photos from some Blake films that haven't been seen in print for years, as well as an extralong layout on Muscle Pit. And Blake himself gave us a very candid interview during which he dishes on all of his films and reveals some surprising tidbits about his life and career.
Elsewhere this issue, manly Marco Paris is back in Pack Attack 2: Marco Paris, his very own gang-bang courtesy of director Michael Clift and Hot House Video. Costars lining up to stuff Marco with cock are Marko Hansom, Derrick Hanson, Vin Nolan, Nickolay Petrov and Mike Power, while newbie C.J. Knight, he of the plush butt and sensuously bitable lips, is the centerpiece of Pack Attack 3: C.J. Knight. And check out the menu of men who drive their cocks into C.J.'s mouth and ass: Rod Barry, newcomer Jude Collin, Chad Hunt, Barrett Long and Jed Willcox!
Last month we explained that the amazing hardcore art from director Kristen Bjorn and Sarava Productions' Rocks and Hard Places was just too good to confine to one small eight-pager. So we decided to spread out the horny goodness over three or four issues.
Next up: Roland Brinski, Thomas Hrebec and Oldrich Smile are featured in scene three, while rising star Rocky Oliveira anchors a scene-four fiveway featuring Sergio del Castillo, Rodrigo Ferrais, Eloy Martinez and Matthias Vannelli.
Elsewhere this issue, Falcon Studios and director Chad Donovan have Hustle & Cruise featuring the debut of apparently hetero dreamboat Johnny Castle, who so far will only wank it solo onscreen. Give him time. Costars include Jason Adonis (a pleasure to see him return), Roman Heart bottoming for Chad Hunt, Albert Long, Antonio Madiera, Tristan Mathews, Eddie Stone and newbie Ryan Wade, who also makes his debut here.
GrindAss House from director Mike Donner and relatively new Dirty Bird Pictures is a XXX-spin on this past summer's Grindhouse, fake previews and all; Soccer Lads from Euroboy Sport and 1 Distribution is the latest in an import series that has exploded in popularity over the past year or so; My Virtual Twink: Jarod Steel pairs the adorable pup with daddypig Adam Faust in a highly interactive film from U.S. Male skilled director Ginetto di Masolo; and Raging Stallion offers the latest in their gonzo experiment from helmer (and hetero porn actor) Alberto Rey, vividly titled Fuck My Eager Hungry Hole!

Adam Film World (AFW) and Adam Film World Guide (AFWG) were American magazines about pornographic film, starting in 1966 as The Adam Film Quarterly. Knight Publishing Corp. had launched Adam magazine in 1956 as an attempt to follow Playboy's success. Adam Film Quarterly was spun off from that magazine by William Rotsler in 1966 to cover the sexploitation film industry. The first issue's cover price was US$1 and the cover story was about The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill, an erotic movie directed by Peter Stootsberry and produced by Bradford Hallworth. Originally, like Playboy, the publication also covered mainstream films and included feature stories on stars such as Orson Welles or Judy Garland. However, by 1969 it was renamed Adam Film World and issued monthly. The Internet Adult Film Database owes its start to Peter Van Aarle, who began keeping notes on index cards on adult movies he had seen or were reviewed in Adam Film World starting in 1982. Adam Film World was called "one of the industry's leading trade publications" in 1994 by the Associated Press. In his 2001 book Pornography and Sexual Representation, Joseph Slade states, "Extremely valuable are the reports, reviews and gossip of Adam Film World and Adult Video Guide, the oldest American monthly devoted to explicit cinema and generally more reliable than similar magazines, though the information on actors and actresses should be approached with caution. Best described as a fan magazine, Adam Film World hypes the careers of performers for a credulous audience, but partly for that reason it is unparalleled as a guide to the mores and customs of the porn subculture." Slade pointed out that the magazine's interviews with performers were, to an extent, similar to celebrity interviews in popular mainstream magazines: "Actors and actresses usually begin by talking about their parents, their adolescence, their own children, lovers, the importance of grooming, then move on to discussions of augmented breasts, relative penis sizes, favorite costars and directors, referred techniques of oral, vaginal, or anal sex, striptease dancing on tour as a sideline and—most important—their fan clubs or their 900-telephone numbers." The publication is also notable for having issued the first movie awards for excellence in pornographic film, first with the X-Caliber Awards in 1975, then replacing them with the AFWG awards starting in 1981 when its sister publication, Adam Film World Guide, was launched. Today the role of adult film awards has been mostly supplanted by Adult Video News, with its AVN Awards, which launched a decade later. Adam Film World Guide, in turn, spawned an annual Directory of Adult Films starting in 1984. The annuals were "important directories of...hard-core films and videos of the previous eighteen months, with lists of notable films of the past, capsule reviews that rate eroticism from 'warm' to 'volcanic,' addresses of distributors and retail outlets, brief biographies of actors, directors, and producers and indexes by theme, director, and performer." Edward S. Sullivan was the first editor of Adam Film World, followed briefly in 1984 by John Zeus, while former pornographic film actor Tim Connelly was editor, under the name Jeremy Stone, from 1985 to 2003. Connelly, as Stone, was inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame in the Fifth Estate category in 1998. Knight Publishing eventually expanded to add several other magazine titles such as Adam Black Video Illustrated, Adam Gay Video, and Cinema X Monthly and several others, but Adam Film World remained the flagship of the group until it was discontinued in the late 1990s in favour of Adam Film World Guide. By 2008, owner Bentley Morriss put the company up for sale. When a buyer was not found, the magazine empire folded. The Adam Film World annual X-Caliber Awards based their selection of winners "largely on the votes of readers who are members of the audiences of the adult theaters." although after the popular vote is counted, "an editorial panel makes the final selections". The winners were announced annually starting with the August 1976 issue for films released the previous year. By the second year, the Z-Caliber Awards, for the worst movies, were also introduced.
