I don't like BelAmi porn

[quote]You into BelAmi?

I was when I was a dumb 14-year-old just beginning to explore the porn world. My tastes have been refined since. I'm also just not into hairless twinks anymore. I still watch porn produced in Czechia quite regularly, just not from this studio.

They train them to be exactly the same, so it's incredibly boring. Plus I'm pretty sure the owner said he prefers to work with "straight" guys rather than gay guys, so fuck him for that.

Oh, and yes, the mechanical, repetitive sounds they made were outrageous. Don't know if that's changed since, I'm sure new people are directing these days.

Another reason I soured on them back in the day were all the gay-for-pay performers. I do know that has also changed since then and gay guys now run the whole business, which is exactly how it should be.

Most BelAmi guys are incredibly hot, and some performers have good chemistry but they are the minority.

Andre Boleyn, Helmut Huxley, and Ariel Vanean work for me, for instance. Others not so much.

[quote]the sex is very, i dunno, mechanical.. by the numbers sort of.

I totally agree. I don't watch their stuff because of that. Also, the penises of the models don't have texture. They are like perfectly smooth sticks. A penis should have character and texture.

Texture? You have been with some rough low class dick R5 haven't you.

Just two Ken dolls scissoring each other.

Anne Boleyn?

They're all hot. They're just all the same. The best porn would be to throw the BelAmi performers into Tim Tales as bottoms. I love nasty, sexy topping pretty twinks.

I never found that site exciting, never was into Twinks.

Bel Ami: Hot, handsome boys. Perfectly intact cocks.

[quote]Anne Boleyn?

Yes, Andre Boleyn, Queen of England and enthusiastic Czech-Romani whore.

He is purdy. Hope he keeps his head.

[quote]He is purdy. Hope he keeps his head.

Well, he is known for giving head...

Bel Ami boys are sexy, and their dicks are not mutilated.

OP - some of the more experienced guys don't make the air sucking noises, and don't purse their lips and kiss bizarrely. Some of the more experienced guys also slam their huge cocks all the way in the holes. You can't have everything! Helmut Huxley is a dream man for me. In that category of men, mind you. It has been fun to watch him change over several years.

And Helmut's BFF Jerome Exupery has a great personality. He's not my ideal porn star type but in those travel videos they shoot, Jerome is radiantly upbeat and cocky. In real life when I was young I loved that kind of guy.

White hairless twinks were never my thing, so it's not a "go-to" studio. That said, when they have more muscular guys like Kris Evans I'll make an exception. And Lukas Ridgeston's comeback video when he turned 40 is hot.

Sample.

I get what people are turned off about with BelAmi, but there are a few models that are just hot beyond description. Manuel Rios is my very favorite and delivers ANYTHING but a boring, mechanical performance. He also is a true versatile performer and seems to love every moment of whatever he's doing. Kris Evans has a busted face but it's rare to find a body and schlong like that anywhere else.

I would’ve gone “hell yes” when I was 15 in 2012. But nowadays I only like whatever amateur solo stuff that appears on X/Twitter. Mick Lovell was my favorite model back then, he was gorgeous. But the years haven’t been kind to him unfortunately. Porn is a hard life.

R21 are you living in the past? Those are guys from another era.

Belami's scenes are kinda redundant. Models look similar, and sex is same. But they do have some super hot East European guys, Marc Ruffalo, Zac Dehaan, Kris Evans, Ariel Vanean, etc.

R4 The only one I kinda liked was Ariel Vanean. Is it true he's now a "straight" married guy with kids?

Are they still in business? Porn changes like everything else and I didn't realize they had new product or new stars. I think even the impoverished Eastern Europeans could get on Chaturbate and make more.

I like that new Higgins model. He's French, skinny, with a huge nose and a big bent cock. Anton Azuro. He seems to enjoy his time with Radek Pozer. They are both vanilla guys next door but in a sexy way.

I will watch anything with my fave Jack Harrer in it. I also love to watch Marcel Gassion get fucked. The others, I can take or leave.

Some of their videos are decent. I think I'm quite vanilla when it comes to porn, because I just like to see hunky guys in their 20s/30s who look fairly normal. Lots of porn these days seems to have ugly guys covered in uglier tattoos. I'm sure lots of people love it, but I can't see the attraction.

It was always hilarious that they launched a sub-brand called Kinky Angels when they make the most vanilla porn possible.

Bel Ami often looks better in the photos than the videos, mostly because of the huge amount of photoshopping they clearly do. Plus you can't hear the fake moaning.

As usual DLers are posting 10-20year old references. As I said above, only the beginner twinks on BelAmi these days make the silly noises and faces. They have a crew of experienced guys who actually like the fucking and getting fucked and have dropped the phony sensuality.

I think the set design is a lot more compelling than the sex. Not a putdown, the background is really great. They should do a show on HGTV.

[quote]As I said above, only the beginner twinks on BelAmi these days make the silly noises and faces.

I get tired of their Slavic faces and weird Slavic noises very quickly.

[quote]Plus I'm pretty sure the owner said he prefers to work with "straight" guys rather than gay guys, so fuck him for that.

Yup, the owner has admitted in the past that he only hires straight models. None of the Bel Ami guys identify as gay, and they all seem to end up with women off screen. I prefer a porn studio with some actual gay stars.

Kris Evans was perfection until he got into bodybuilding. Now he just looks gross. Here he is at his hottest.

Their slavic looks are part of the fun and appeal. Porn lets me beat off to guys from all over the world and from all kinds of experiences. The novelty adds excitement and keeps the interest because the sex often does not.

If the model is good on camera, reacts and seems into it, sure. If not, it is as boring and robotic as AI

It's what I call "cherry boy porn". The guys are too young, too pretty, too uninteresting. IMO, good gay porn must be at least a little dirty, with sexy grown men who know what they're doing, and who have bodies that give the viewer nasty thoughts.

What I've always appreciated about Bel Ami is that usually porn is not such a great path to take in most countries, but for these guys once you're in the stable you get free dental work, grooming and styling help, travel, and when they're not fucking on camera they get jobs behind the scenes. It's almost like the old Hollywood studio system.

I'm still unclear as to whether or not they get rented out, but it would not surprise me.

Years ago Elton very publicly rented them as yacht boys.

I prefer their Kris Evans to ours.

Well, it worked for Joan Crawford.

There was no reason to drag Miss Crawford into this.

About 15 ago I found a porn site with dozens of clips of these young guys auditioning. It was always the same, they would sit on an armchair and the camera guy would tell them to get undressed, then they would wank and cum. Not all of the guys were pretty or really handsome, but had nice bodies and cocks.Each clip was about 5 minutes long and incredibly hot.

I saved them all to my PC but unfortunately forgot to save them when I upgraded it, so lost them all. I was gutted.

Yeah, I don't know why Eastern Europeans sound like that, no matter how hot the body, sounding like Peter Griffin hurting his knee is an instant mood changer to might as well put the kettle on and make a cup of tea instead.

I have noticed that studios have gotten their models to tone down the weird Slavic sex noises, so that's a positive. I see fewer strange European hair styles too.

I've always disliked it. It is exploitative -- even moreso than all other porn. In the beginning of the Bel Ami years, the guys lived in a very repressive culture, it was apparent that many of the guys were poor, and doing porn could have been the only paying gig they could get. I never believed Lukas Ridgeston was gay, he was a mannequin and the other young men looked similarly uninspired. It was the least erotic staged sex in all of gay porn.

To each his own. Every now and then it's fun to wank to a tight-pink-holed, horse-cocked, mole-covered, skinny Hungarian with a 700 Forint frosted mullet and pursed lips.

[quote] Mick Lovell was my favorite model back then, he was gorgeous.

He was the American, right? What happened to him.

Studio porn is boring. Dim looking whores who will end up as drug casualties. I prefer home made, it’s much hotter.

Mick update a few years ago

BelAmi has always been passionless porn to me. Straight guys going through the motions unconvincingly. In the condom days, it was the worst - trying to keep their dicks hard, often unsuccessfully.

Never really watched much Bel Ami for reasons already stated. I do remember a guy who I think may have only done a couple of scenes. He was a curly haired boy with thick lips? I think the owner actually inferred that he thought him ugly, which he absolutely wasn’t. Wish I could remember his name…

Daniel Knight, I believe a Bel Ami export, is one I’ve been seeing a lot of lately and I think he’s really hot and without any weird affectations.

[quote]In the beginning of the Bel Ami years, the guys lived in a very repressive culture, it was apparent that many of the guys were poor, and doing porn could have been the only paying gig they could get.

How is that different from porn from other countries?

I did some digging and figured out I was talking about Bob Marghiela. Kind of misremembered the curly hair. He actually did quite a few scenes, but there was a significant gap between his solo and his first action scene.

R47 yes very exploitative. But no worse than the comely rickshaw boys of the French Concession of Shanghai, who were grateful to get off the streets and into the brothels on Rue Chu Pao San. Ah, I remember it well...

Oh, guys who fucked a girl once in their lifetimes when they were teenagers and use that to claim they're straight.

Yum...the Bel Ami 4 (skins)

Young Kris Evans

Kris with a mouthful

Chairman Kris

I have appreciated this person, Joel Birkin, and his huge dick,

I guess they let him warm up a bit between r57 and r58

We don't like you, either, OP.

This i like

I didn't enjoy BelAmi porn for 20years but during Covid I had a new look and was surprised. They seem to have a good dose of bisexual or gay guys in the mix. The actors who stick around and film for a couple years seem, to me, to enjoy their time with each other and enjoy fucking each other. I highly doubt they are the greatest actors since golden age of Hollywood so I now assume they are at least bisexual and some are gay. NOWADAYS. Post 2019.

If you're into uncut twink interchangeable white clones that's the Bel Ami product. Kris Evans was their last recognizable STAH and he's long gone.

They have regularly working actors who are not twinks. Jack Harrar is 33. Peter Annaud is 29. Joel Birkin must be about the same. Etc etc etc.

R60 - with that cock, he can Lurch me anytime…

R17 hit one of the main problems. The tops don't hump their dicks all the way in.

No skin to skin slamming or pushing. It comes off very phony and unfulfilling - which is a dick wilter for me.

R73, Jack Harrer left Bel Ami several years ago. He had his own OnlyFans for a while, but I think he has now stopped doing porn altogether.

R76, It's hard to know/tell when someone leaves as BA continues to release "new" content even after someone supposedly left.

Jack Harrer has been in several new Bel Ami vids this year (2023)

R77, that's true. BA keeps old scenes in their vault for a long time before they release them.

When I was 19 and 20 I watched a lot of BelAmi. That's when I was as hot as anyone in the video. Now I'm not. LOL It only serves to depress me now.

George Duroy made Lucas Ridgeston aka Juraj Vrzgula a global porn icon in the 90's. He put Bel Ami on the map. I met him at Different Light in WeHo the line for his signing was around the block. It's a cliche with pornies but he was much shorter than expected. The Siberian Husky eyes were striking however. Apparently he only did the high end escort route for short time and only for big bucks with Geffen,Diller ect. Apparently he's very good with his money. Races speed boats. Probably married with kids but he keeps them hidden on social media. Lucas is still plays a major part in the off screen Bel Ami organization. Apparent Duroy has made him his corporate heir. He still looks bellissimo as a DILF.

R80, I guess that he didn't need to escort for long because both Duroy and he soon realized that they could make much more money by pimping other models to the likes of Elton John, George Michael, Bryan Singer, Peter Thiel and their old contacts Diller, Geffen, Armani, Klein and Lauren.

[quote]Probably married with kids but he keeps them hidden on social media.

Almost all the Bel Ami guys have girlfriends/wives/kids, etc. Virtually none of them live a gay life off screen.

Jack Harrer:
