5.0 out of 5 stars a real stunner--explicit shots of some of the biggest gay porn stars, January 24, 2006

This review is from: Starz (Paperback)

about 60 of the biggest names in the biz (literally) get a full 4-6 pages of interview questions, plus, of course, 1 or 2 nude publicity stills in which they look absolutely stunning. Along with stats for each star, including height, weight, SIZE, favorite sexual position, they are asked questions about how they got into the biz, the scenes they had the most fun doing, crushes and relationships involving other porn stars, and plenty more. And the selection of guys is diverse, including daddies, bears, black, Latin, twinks, muscle hunks, leather boys. If you love porn and its stars, this is definitely a cover to cover read, and not just for the pictures. It would be great to see a DVD version of this sort of book, with one-on-one interviews with the stars so we can get a more intimate feel for them as real men, not just onscreen fantasies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for even the non-porn viewer!, February 5, 2006

By 

robmc "robmc" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starz (Paperback)

I have to admit that I don't even watch gay porn. But Keehnen's interview questions, ranging from the frivolous to the serious, make this a compelling read. Why get into porn? What are the rewards? What are the drawbacks? And who do the porn stars fantasize about? Keehnan's a deft interviewer and his playful side makes the performers happy to share their thoughts on sex, relationships, (usually difficult if you are in the business) aspirations, and more. Great for the fan or the armchair sociologist!
