Consider this a sampler of the guys who have been shining most brightly on our radar during the first half of 2010.
By Christian Martere

     We love making lists – especially when they’re about our favorite porn stars! We have to admit that our list of favorites is way too big for just 40 guys – so consider this a sampler of the guys who have been shining most brightly on our radar during the first half of 2010. We’ve tried to cover a gamut of different types from a variety of studios, but don’t feel too bad if you don’t see your favorite star listed. We probably wanted to include them, too!  Just remember – there’s always next time. And so with no further ado, here’s our list – presented in alphabetical order.

ADAM CHAMP
   Adam Champ comes from the beautiful country of Argentina in South America. This country has produced politically charged figures in the past. But it’s the sexually charged men that capture our imagination. It makes sense that Adam was quickly snatched up by COLT Studio Group for his masculine good looks and hard body that looks great when enjoying what he loves the most: man-on-man sex! If you don’t fall in love with his boyish looks and handsome smile, you’ll definitely go gaga over his massive uncut dick.

AVI DAR
    When Michael Lucas visited Israel last year, he started a new trend – Israeli gay porn stars. Avi Dar is one hot stud that is enjoying fame and success after his debut in Lucas Entertainment’s Men of Israel. Born in Kibbutz, an agricultural town near Tel Aviv, Avi is a natural in front of the camera. Don’t think that his good looks, smoking body, and versatility will be going to his head any time soon. His grounded personality makes him a fan favorite.

AXEL BROOKS
    This 30-year-old muscular hunk from Spain admits that he’s always wanted to be naked and perform in gay porn. As a non-nude male model, he first go the taste of what it is like with all eyes on him. Now, as a bona fide porn star, he’s enjoying all eyes all over his hard body. You can see this seductive model’s body of work at Menatplay in Nasty Boys. Instantly, you’ll see that he loves sex and we’re glad he does because he looks
great doing it!

BRENT CORRIGAN
    Brent is no stranger to controversy, but this ex-twink is now one of the most sought-after porn stars in the industry. Thanks to his youthful looks and marketing skills, Brenthas made quite a name for himself in just six years. He’s got the classic Hollywood heartthrob look that appeals to a wide audience, so it comes as no surprise that he’s appeared in mainstream films in the past. But his first love is porn and we don’t think he’ll be retiring any time soon!

BRENT EVERETT
    When we say we can’t get enough of some of these gay porn stars, we only have to look to Brent Everett. We’re not the only ones who can’t get enough of him. He’s won numerous Cybersocket Awards two years in a row and that’s only proof that he’s definitely a fan favorite, as the fans are the ones who voted him as one of the best. He got into the business on a whim with his boyfriend and he never looked back.

BUCK ANGEL
    Perhaps the most famous female-to-male trans man in the industry, Buck Angel (who is also known as The Man with a Pussy) is more than a mere performer in the adult industry. Of course he’s been named AVN Transsexual Performer of the Year and Circuit Party Performer of the Year for his Black Party Performance, but education is also a big part of who he is. As a popular personality, Buck is a fervent advocate with a message of empowerment through self-acceptance and being sexually comfortable in your own skin.

CARLO MASI
    Italian stallion doesn’t even begin to describe muscle stud Carlo Masi. His penchant for weightlifting has developed a body to die for and it also makes him a natural addition
to the roster of COLT Studio Exclusive Men. Since he’s also from Italy, Renaissance man is a fitting name, too. Not only because he’s versatile in his interests, ranging from computers to opera, but he tops and bottoms as well! With a perfect gluteus maximus and an 8-inch tool, it only makes sense.

CODY KYLER
    At only 18 years of age, Cody has already signed on as an Exclusive model for Flava Works, making him the only white model (and one of the youngest) in the predominantly black and Latino studio. His quick rise to fame is no accident as he is quickly developing a hardcore fan following at the studio with merely a handful of DVD titles under his belt. This sexy mid-western twink from Oklahoma now calls Miami his home, where he loves to work and play.

COLE STREETS
    Standing at 6’ 5” tall, Cole Streets is by far one of the tallest per- formers in gay porn. He’s also versatile, hung, and hot. A relative newcomer to the industry, he went to work in the blockbuster hit The Visitor. That led to Cole’s lead per- formance as Joe in Focus/Refocus. There’s no doubt he’s got leading man stamina, and as an Exclusive model for Raging Stallion, we will definitely be seeing more of this handsome stud for years to come!

DEAN TUCKER
    With that wild post-frat boy attitude about him, Dean Tucker has never lost that jock feel about him and it’s that very masculine personality that has perpetuated his career. Now, he’s in demand whenever brawn is needed to fill a role. He has appeared in many titles from different studios, always as a masculine, boyish stud with a love for rough play. You can see him slicked up and well oiled in wrestling videos as well as in Mustang videos such as Laid-Off, Manhole 2, and After Hours.

DREW CUTLER
   You’ve seen him in many titles from major studios in the past, but earlier this year Drew Cutler signed on to Suite 703 for a one-year exclusive contract. That means we’ll be seeing a lot of him at this web-based gay porn site. Fetish lovers will love to see him dressed up in a suit at Men Hard At Work, in a jockstrap at Hot Jocks Nice Cocks, playing with brothers in My Brother’s Hot Friend, and enjoying a little extramarital affair at I’m a Married Man.

ELY SCOTT
    Dirty Boy Video is infamous for scoping out the hottest dudes with a bit of a rough edge and exposing their uninhibited nature. It only makes sense that they come from the gritty streets of New York City and Ely Scott of the rough boy off the streets. He’s perpetually horny and there is very little he won’t do – and that includes jerking off outdoors on the roof of his apartment, or sucking off other Dirty Boy Video models just for kicks around town.

FRANCESCO D’MACHO
    Francesco was nominated as Best Newcomer at the 2007 GayVN Awards. In those short three years, he’s starred in more than 13 gay porn titles for a few major studios including Raging Stallion. But just recently he has launched his own production company, Stag Homme Studios with his real-life partner and porn star Damien Crosse. You can see him in full action with Damien and other popular gay porn stars when he’s not chilling at home with his husband in Madrid, Spain.

FRANÇOIS SAGAT
    This French-Arab model loves to explore all his options – all of them. There isn’t anything this sexy stud with a trademark scalp tattoo wouldn’t try and he’s done just
about everything under the sun from vanilla to extreme kinky. That’s why we love François! Since his first appearance in a French video at the age of 25, his career has skyrocketed. He’s appeared in gay porn, bi porn, and has even tried his hand at mainstream films. Like we said, there’s nothing he won’t try!

JEAN-DANIEL CHAGALL
    We can’t get enough of those sexy Euro-boys. Although he just recently debuted in gay porn with Bel Ami last year, Jean-Daniel already impressed his fellow models and porn fans with his versatile performances on the site. He’s a full- fledged jock with a nasty side and he loves to top as much as he loves to get pounded. He is in such demand that he’s made history with Bel Ami’s ambitious 27-boy circle jerk shoot in South America with some of the studio’s hottest Euro-boys.

JEREMY BILDING
    You can’t go anywhere without seeing Jeremy’s face. He’s ubiquitous in the gay porn industry. Definitely not a shy stud, Jeremy is one of the most energetic guys in gay porn. He’s also one of the most handsome. At 6’ 1” tall and with a 9-inch cock to match, this bisexual star is definitely having fun with his sexuality on camera as you can tell in his
Channel 1 Releasing titles Jeremy Bilding’s Heated Up, Gridiron Gang Bang, Rascal A Toy Story, and Taken.

JOHNNY HAZZARD
    Chi Chi LaRue has called Johnny the face of Channel 1 Releasing. To this day, he continues to be a highly successful model at this studio thanks to his charming good looks. He’s won Best Actor Award for Wrong Side of the Tracks at the GayVN Awards, appeared in LaRue’s controversial bi-porn Switching Gears, and was recently seen in Playing with Fire: 4 Alarm. He also has a recurring role on Here! TV’s The Lair, records music, and has even had his own cooking show!

JONATHAN AGASSI
    An open casting call in Israel brought the affable Jonathan to Michael Lucas’ attention. His stellar debut in Men of Israel made him an instant star in his hometown of Tel Aviv as well as the rest of the world. He’s the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome and under
Lucas Entertainment’s exclusive contract, Jonathan is keeping busy exploring all his sexual sides. You can also find him and his deep throating skills in Inside Israel and getting nice and wet in Piss Gods.

JUNIOR STELLANO
    Junior Stellano started out in gay porn mostly as a bottom at Raging Stallion in The Trap. Since his debut, he’s beefed up a bit and developed a rougher edge. His masculine physique now is well suited for a turn at topping and the studio paid attention. You can see him top in Nailed and Screwed. He joins the pantheon of hirsute hunks at Raging Stallion with the talent to be an excellent top as well as being a hot bottom.

KYLE KING
    Kyle debuted at Hot House Backroom, making an appearance in a web-based episode. His round bubble butt quickly garnered much attention and he moved on to feature roles in King Size, Locker Room, Skuff 4: Downright Fierce, and Movers ‘N Shakers.  One thing that’s been said about him is that he’s grown with Hot House – in more ways than one. He’s an avid bodybuilder and his dedication to building mass has quickly turned his tight, lean body into a massive frame of muscle and bulges.

LUCKY DANIELS
    Lucky is a mid-western boy from Wisconsin. His down-home personality and his sexy, lean body is the perfect combination that works well on camera. He’s got that shy look
about him that makes him so endearing, but when he strips off his clothes, he’s a total lust puppy! Since entering the gay porn industry, Lucky has worked for several studios including Randy Blue and Lucas Entertainment in Auditions Volume 29: Lucky Daniels’ Shameless Hole. Currently, however, you can see him suited-up in expensive threads at Menatplay.

LUDOVIC CANOT
    We’re suckers for any guy with a sexy French accent. But even if he never utters a single word, we fall head over heels for Frenchman Ludovic Canot. He is a French accent personified. You can say that this marketing student is taking a break from business to explore his other interest: porn. While at it, he’s already made appearances at Lucas Entertainment, Titan Media, Cazzo, and Studio 2000 and has quickly become an international success. Currently, you can find him stripping off his duds at Menatplay.

MALACHI MARX
    Like a certain Greek Gorgon, Malachi’s piercing blue eyes will stop you in your tracks. Unlike the hideous Medusa, however, he won’t turn you into stone, but you’ll definitely feel a certain organ turn hard with one look. That seems to be the effect people get when they look at Malachi Marx. We already mentioned his eyes. His smile is dazzling, his body is rock-hard, and his huge cock and bubble butt complete this delectable package... And you can see all of him at Randy Blue.

MASON WYLER
Mason is a self-described sex addict, making him a well-balanced combination of hedonist with a touch of nerdiness... And that’s never stopped him from showing his fans just how much he loves sex. Though mostly known for being an eager bottom, he enjoys topping every now and then. Thankfully, he’s got a 9-inch tool that can really cause some serious damage. You can catch him at play each week at his popular website.

MICHAEL LUCAS
Michael Lucas likes to keep things up front and in your face – whether it’s in front of the cameras or behind them. His controversial personality is equally matched with his uncanny ability to tap into the zeitgeist of popular culture. His erotic re-imagining of film classics such as La Dolce Vitaand Dangerous Liaisons has attracted actors from mainstream films to appear in non-sexual cameos. Now, he’s introducing the world to the sexy men of Israel and we can’t get enough!

BONUS MATERIAL

MIKE DREYDEN
    Mike Dreyden is quickly becoming an iconic gay porn star in just the short years that he made his debut. He’s a furry bear that loves to fuck on camera and he’s got plenty of talent to boot. He is a masculine guy with a playful edge and an insatiable bottom. He’s a featured model for Lucas Entertainment in Return to Fire Island, has worked with famed director Joe Gage, and is a regular dancer in New York clubs.

NICCO SKY
    Think of Nicco as a compact sex toy. He’s a small-framed Latin hottie with a washboard stomach, broad shoulders, and bubble butt that won’t quite. His expert bottoming skills quickly propelled him to stardom at Randy Blue, and his flashy smile continues to melt fans’ hearts. You can check him out this summer in Randy Blue’s full-length feature Text, Lies, & Video online.

NICK CAPRA
    Nick Capra exploded on the gay porn scene in the early 2000s and he hasn’t stopped since. This 6’ 2” stud with a 9-inch cock loves to top, but currently, he’s become more versatile, and thusly, even more appealing. Nick won the 2009 Hookie Award for Best Porn Star Escort and says he's particularly proud of succeeding in his battle against drug use.

NICK MORETTI
    Nick is all muscle and tattoos! That’s how we love to see our Hot House men and Nick Moretti definitely fits the bill. He’s a sexy muscle daddy with a thick shaft that loves to seek tight holes. He’s got a relentless drive to fuck that comes through in all his appearances. Catch him being the dominant stud that he is in Hot House’s Head Hunters and Masterpiece.

OWEN HAWK
    Dark Alley Media keeps Owen Hawk busy. That’s probably because Owen and his partner, director Matthias von Fistenberg founded this studio as a way to fulfill his penchant for having sex in front of cameras. Owen does it all on film, too – from gang bangs, deep throating, and fisting. See Owen in Gaytanamo, Owen Hawk Unleashed, and Leather Punks Orgy.

PARKER LONDON
    One of the hottest porn stars to emerge out of 2009 is the sexy and very straight Parker London. His debut at Next Door Male was greeted with a resounding gasp – he’s one gorgeous stud. His gung ho attitude has resulted in his first time bottoming with Tommy D early on in his career. Already he’s made appearances at Mason Wyler, Next Door Buddies, Tommy D XXX, and Cody Cummings.

PETERS TWINS
    If you haven’t heard of Elijah and Milo Peters or the things they’ve been up to together as twin brothers, you’ve probably been living under a rock. These brothers are very close and they’ve demonstrated just how close they can be at Bel Ami. They’ve topped and bottomed together on screen with other models, but late last year and earlier this year they release their sensational bareback titles in which they go all the way – with each other!

PIERRE FITCH
    This Canadian twink started out early in his career and quickly became a Falcon Studio exclusive before venturing out as an entrepreneur and founding his own company. Now that he’s a bit older, he’s outgrowing his twink status and graduating to full-on jock! Watch him at work in One Night With Pierre Fitch, Through The Woods, and Pierre’s After School Special.

RAFAEL ALENCAR
    Uncut Latino stud Rafael Alencar got his start with Kristen Bjorn and has worked with some of the industry’s biggest gay porn studios. But his smoldering eyes and Latin looks quickly garnered the attention of one major studio. Now with Lucas Entertainment, Rafael and his 9.5-inch cock can be seen at work in Return to Fire Island 2, Michael Lucas’ Wall Street, and Rafael In Paris.

REESE RIDEOUT
    Reese got his start posing for Freshman magazine, but he quickly made his debut at Randy Blue. As the saying goes, the rest is history. His popularity at the site helped him skyrocketed to success. Earlier this year he was named Best Porn Star at the 2010 Cybersocket Awards. This amateur bodybuilder has a nicely defined body and a perfect bubble butt! Watch him in action at Randy Blue.

TIM KRUGER
    German-born Tim Kruger had already been working for major studios such as Hot House and Raging Stallion Studios before venturing out on his own. He started his own site Tim Tales with his partner so he could focus on what he likes best: amateur bareback sex. You can see his best work in titles such as The Deep End, Bang That Ass, and Fisting Underground 3.

TOMMY ANDERS
    Last year, Tommy was the youngest twink to earn a six-figure salary for his work in gay porn. That’s a lot of money for someone so young, but when you get a look at that huge cock of his, you’ll understand why. This power top can rip anyone a new hole, but the bottom boys at 8Teen Boy love him and so do his fans. You can see that 9-incher pounding smooth, young bottoms in Fuck It, Trickery, and Big Dicked Twinks.

TOMMY D
    As far as gay-for-pay goes, Tommy D is a star. He appeals to both straight and gay fans and there’s very little he won’t do on his site. He’s got his boy next door looks and charms and a killer body to complement it. When it comes to sex, though, he’s ready for action – whether it’s pounding a nice boy butt or getting into a steamy threeway with his Next Door Buddies.

TURK MASON
    Turk also goes by Turk Melrose, but whatever name he goes by, he’s a gorgeous twink. His mix of Italian and Irish heritage makes for a striking combination almost too pretty to bear. His career took off at the tender age of 18. This versatile twink loves to work in front of the cameras as well as behind them. He’s appeared in videos for Hot House, Channel 1 Releasing, and All Worlds.

WOLF HUDSON
    Earlier this year, Wolf Hudson won Best Personality at the 2010 Cybersocket Awards. Indeed, this New Yorker has a personality as big as his dick. Wolf can’t be labeled, though. He likes vanilla sex but loves to show off his kinky side. He’s worked for Hot House, done she-male porn, and he’s recently signed on to an exclusive contract with Cocky Boys, making him one of the hottest Southern California boys around!
