Remember When Sean Cody Had the Hottest Guys on the Net?

Now we get this:

Beauty + Porn = Sociopathy

There are still occasional glimpses of past glory OP, but overall yes, the quality has gone downhill.

I'm assuming the popularity of streaming sites like Myvidster which have the videos up within an hour or two of posting has greatly cut into their profit margin.

"Archie" is a relative newcomer who is as hot as any of the earlier guys

Yes; once in a while a true throwback to what made Sean Cody so popular in the first place pops up (like Archie), but it's rare. And even the current sex scenes lack the heat that vintage Sean Cody videos once had, even with the rare hot guy in them. Archie is great to look at, but his scenes with other guys are just so-so.

Sean Cody's true golden years were around 2004 - 2012. After that, it began to decline, and after Sean Cody himself said "goodbye," the site was never the same.

**Sigh.** At least we have the memories.

I want to suck Archie’s hairy nutsack.

He can just lie there and do nothing as in the above photo where he’s posing with his sweet smile - and sweeter ballsac.

Brandon debuted before the decline

Pavel was wonderful. Muscular hairy butt. Nice full lips. Bushy pits. He was passionate too.

R8 Oh, my God, Pavel was so hot. And he really got into it with the other guys. His scene where Jarek massaged him, then fucked him was amazing.

What I loved about Pavel was that he was always rock hard in every scene, whether he was fucking or getting fucked. His dick wasn't that big, but just seeing him constantly turned was a huge turn-on for me.

OP, I absolutely do remember. I even remember the name of the guy in your pic, Patrick, right? StraightCollegeMen.com was the first site of this kind that I stumbled upon around 2002 and since I love my guys het or straight acting I thought I had found heaven. Guys didn't go very far at SCM at first and that's where Sean Cody came to the rescue. It was all so exciting and new. The guys seemed so normal and real next to porn people which made them so hot.

In the early years of both SC and CF, you got the sense that you were seeing the guys as they really were, e.g. CF Lucas and Dawson, SC Zach and Dylan

After a while both sites got wise to the ways of reality TV and started coaching/scripting the guys to fit a stereotype and it all started to feel fake.

Believe it or not, early on, Sean Cody and Chaosmen shared some models, since Bryan did some of the photography for Sean Cody. Patrick's evolution at Sean Cody was something to behold. Anyway, I still get excited when someone like Landon or Daniel is in a new scene.

Landon is hot.

I always wonder who contributes to these threads and if they’re just shills for Sean Cody.

No one pays for porn anymore. You can find all the porn you’ll ever need on sites like pornhub and it’s free!

CF allows users to rate their videos and those with models of color are pretty much the only ones with low ratings.

Confused by that R15-- all those SeanCody videos wind up on PornHub eventually and on MyVidster the same day they're posted. And free passwords have been available if you knew where to look since the early 2000s.

Watching the videos and subscribing to the site are not one and the same.

"I always wonder who contributes to these threads and if they’re just shills for Sean Cody."

Why would shills want to talk about the videos from 10 years ago? Is the stuff from the early 2000s even available on the site anymore?

They would certainly want to talk about the current stuff.

Does any of you ever bore of these perfect-looking guys banging on a sofa or a bed, two by two, day after day? It’s a serious question. I go on and off with porn because it seems like everyone is basically the same, and especially with sites like Sean Cody with zero creativity, they just bang and then the camera drifts off to the left or off to the right, soft focus...zzzzz.

R12 Yes, those early videos where you could sense the guys' nervousness and curiosity were the hottest. There was one video with a hot straight guy named Dominic who got blown by a gay guy named Andy.

Dominic started out nervous, then totally got into it. By the end, Dominic was all over Andy.

Why would shills post here to talk about how much the site has declined?

What about this Shawn Mendes look-a-like (the one that is bottoming)

Yes, I was one of the guys who subscribed to the site for a week, and downloaded a bunch of the vids. This was probably 2003-2005 so the library wasn't that big yet. It seemed legit real back then, where "Sean" sometimes appeared on camera with them performing oral. A lot of the guys seemed nervous, it seemed like there were a lot of guys trying male-male sex for the first time. Also seemed like a lot of guys that did solo jerkoffs but never returned. A big blond stud with a huge dick (Keefe), a huge dark haired guy chiseled out of marble who shot a delicious load on his muscular pecs (Judd), a goofy but charming guy named Ellis. They're probably all pushing 40 now.

R21 Ugh. That guy is NOT hot.

The high point of all these "straight guy" reality-type sites was CorbinFisher's Lucas and Dawson Down Under.

You had two guys who'd been doing porn together since they were 18, off on vacation together in Australia for a few weeks and allowed to have bareback sex for the first time in the six years or so they'd been fucking each other on camera.

So they were about as close to making love to each other as you're going to get on a porn shoot and their affection for each other really took the whole thing up a notch.

Seemed like that whole genre went downhill from there (Just googled and it came out in 2010)

Forgot to add a link

Maybe SC and CF going to all bareback is one of the reasons a lot of the better-looking guys quit.

I'm not sure of the exact years, but maybe there's a correlation.

A lot of their best work came after the transition.

For my money, there are few Sean Cody scenes that feature true, authentic lust and passion like the scene between Jamie and Kurt.

R19 Dominic and Andy. Damn, Dominic's ass was fine!

The irony is that Sean Cody sold the company because of the rampant piracy and lack of ability to make a living in gay porn... to the pirates who stole his business. At least he got something out of the years of work, though; there were many, many gay porn companies that just gave up and walked away when they couldn't sell enough copies of the movies to make it worth making another. I wrote about working with a pornographer in the 'aughts on the "Ever Make a Porno" thread, who told me that after the 2008 economic collapse, he couldn't sell enough copies on DVD, streaming on the web, or to the few remaining stores to even finance the next production, let alone a living.

I know a lot of gay guys, including many (if not most) here would say that the high cost of those DVDs was what made them turn to piracy, that they got sick of buying high-priced crappy movies with a great cover, or one good scene among three or four lousy ones, and they want to blame the pornographers' greed for ruining the market, but having seen the economic aspects of running a studio first-hand, I'll just point out that the market for gay porn is so tiny, the money so little, and the risks are so great, that I can't see why anyone would want to become a pornographer.

Except R30, Sean Cody, Corbin Fisher et al were digital-first sites.

There was no DVD. You paid for the ability to download and/or stream the videos. Streaming was originally on 480 in a small window but downloading took forever.

They also offered previews of the videos, which were generally around 20-25 minutes in length--it was, on many levels, a very different approach to the business.

I think the ease and ubiquity of sites like PornHub and MyVidster just made it all too easy.

The scenes that stand out in my memory from Sean Cody are all older ones, for the reasons given already.

I remember one scene, the straight guy who had only done a solo had returned for a massage and oral with another guy. Straight was pretty hot and in the chit-chat revealed he was nervous and unsure how it would go, if he’d get hard, etc.. He was 100% soft from the start, then the other guy got him on all fours to eat his ass - almost immediately straight guy is moaning and you see him going from totally flaccid to rock hard. That was hot.

Scenes with old SC “star” Zack never disappointed. I was also partial to “Rudy” - first one I remember saying he was gay in their interview. He was a hot performer I thought. I also remember one guy who bottomed but admitted he couldn’t get hard or cum in front of others. So Sean would set up the camera and leave him on his own to jack one out.

Of course, the famous “Bailey & His Buddy” remains the highlight of those golden SC years.

Yes, I do wonder when reminded of them, where they are now?

Digital-first only made it easier to pirate, R31. Not that DVDs had any sort of meaningful copy protection, but the problem with streaming content is that copy protection made it harder for paying customers to watch the film, too, so the studios had no choice but to put the content out there and hope that enough viewers would pay, which is kind of sad when you think about it. I mean, if all you had to do was buy gas (in this parable, the equivalent of paying your cable bill) and you could drive any car you wanted without having to pay for it, or the maintenance and upkeep, would you?

There will never be another Patrick. SC was my first online subscription just so I could see Patrick get fucked by a very unattractive guy whose name I can't remember. I could not believe a guy that was so fit and beautiful would do gay porn.

R32 Was it the scene with straight guy Clay? I remember him on all our 4s getting his ass eaten and getting hard, and him saying, "I can't believe I'm getting hard!"

R35 Was that gremlin on the right Sean Cody?

That's not Sean

Patrick was my first porn true love. Hard to believe it's been 12 years since he retired and vanished.

"Released June 9, 2006"

I'm pretty sure this guy's Sean.

Sean Cody was at its best when they would pair a nervous straight guy with an experienced gay guy who knew what he was doing. The straight guy would end up getting so turned on that that they'd finally just give in and go hard.

Jessie was one regular gay performer who really knew how to turn a guy on. Every straight guy he was paired with went nuts when Jessie did his thing.

R39, Yes, that's Sean Cody himself with 'Luke', who was supposed to be a straight guy on whom he had a bad crush.

I'm pretty sure all the videos with Sean Cody himself have been removed from the official website. We always have these debates about G4P porn performers on DL but, to explain their appeal, you only need to use 'Patrick' as an example. His first scenes are pretty awkward: as beautiful as he was, he was pretty much going through the motions. But then watch his later scenes with 'Parker' and 'Samuel', and he was really getting into his partners, and moaning in pleasure. His last scene was with 'Samuel', and he was supposedly getting more serious with his girlfriend, which is why he was 'retiring'.

Randy Blue,CF,SC 2002-2014 Golden Age of internet porn.

Those Mind Geeks !They took the idols and smashed them! The Brandons, the Brodies, the Abes. Who have we got now a bunch of fugly,flat assed,pencil dicked nobodies!

It was the best of times.

It was the worst of times.

We had everything before us.

We had nothing before us.

Agreed R42.

"Gabe" from CF was similar-- wouldn't kiss, wouldn't give oral, etc. and was stiff and awkward in his first few scenes. But towards the end he got comfortable with the idea and started to get into it. Nowhere near Patrick's level of comfortable, but still.

And R39-- that is a very hot scene, I remember that well. There was another one where Luke got semi-drunk--they showed him doing shots-- and then fucked Zach while Sean directed them and blew Zach and Luke some too. IIRC, it was called "The Teacher".

Nolan was another hottie who was always rock hard. And he was a straight guy who loved to eat ass! He really turned me on.

Nolan was hunky. Gave Robert some wonderfully tender kisses.

WEHT to Sean Cody?

The Sean Cody website was bought out by MindGeek, which also owns Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn, so the very company that was undermining Sean Cody with piracy is the company that ended up buying them out. The real 'Sean Cody' (I'm sure that's not his real name) seems to have disappeared or retired after selling his interest in the company to MindGeek. I've read that the reason for the abrupt departures of 'Connor' and 'Pete' from Corbin Fisher is because Jason (Corbin Fisher) found out they had been talking with representatives from MindGeek.

R47 the golden age or ass eating

*of ass eating

The real Sean Cody (his first name is actually Sean) moved to Portland after selling Cody Media, and is now in Real Estate.

Yes!! Yes, that’s the guy/scene R35!! Clay! Oh the memories lol

I’d still be curious about what happened to some of the Golden Age guys from SC:

Zack

Rudy

Bailey

Bailey’s Buddy

Sex fiends

Loved Pete/Joel. Lanky big dick faced with a big dick. Did it all with gusto. Started G4P to pay his child support grew to love it. Sadly he re upped,settled down with wife and kid. Gone but not forgotten.

Peter was amazing R57. He took to bottoming quickly and was one of those guys, like Abe, who seemed to go all in.

The scene where Jess fucked him was the best. Peter's waist and ass were so small I didn't think he'd be able to fit Jess in there

[quote]The Sean Cody website was bought out by MindGeek, which also owns Pornhub, RedTube and YouPorn, so the very company that was undermining Sean Cody with piracy is the company that ended up buying them out.

I've never understood this. First of all, how do sites like PornHub make any money? And second of all, aren't they just ruining their other businesses by allowing the same stuff to be seen for free?

Pornhub has deals with the major studios, which have official channels and provide some free full-length scenes in addition to the shorter clips.

Advertising R59. There are numerous ads on those sites if you don't use an ad blocker

R55, You can Google "gay porn sean cody bailey" to get the name Bailey has used for his bodybuilding work. I don't know if he's still doing that, but he kept up with bodybuilding much longer than he did with porn.

R57, R58, Yes, Peter was one of the best. His scene with Jess was absolute fire, since Jess came so quickly because Peter was "so tight". Again, people complain all the time about G4P, but some of these guys (despite what we read about their private lives) are terrific performers.

Bailey is on IG and goes live from time to time. I thought everyone knew his real name? I won't post it lest the thread get shut down.

Sean Cody threads always get shut down one way or another.

r62 Bailey also did a little escorting. Marcus Mojo played a clip of him and Bailey on a plan headed to some exotic location. This was after Bailey retired from SC but still did body builder work Whoever hired those two had good taste.

You know, dink flamingo said in an interview that he always looked for personality in a guy, and as slippery as a term as that is, it’s true, all porn performers today have little or no personality, something quite regrettable.

And if they have any personality it's obviously an overdone projection.

R65, that clip was from their trip to Morocco for a sex weekend party with the ex CEO of Abercrombie and his partner. Pat Bateman among others was also there. Crazy fetish stuff happened apparently.

Sean Cody has Bailey listed at 5' 3", which means he is likely more like 5' 1"

That's freakishly short for a guy

r69 I would look up to him.

Wow bro

Sean Cody still has some jokers up their sleeves. Jax is the latest one and Brysen, who recently retired, was hot as well.

The original Luke was the sexiest guy ever on the site.

Murray is by far the hottest current dude

R74 Um. Okay.

Where is Abe?

No point in pics on a thread like this.
