While some of our regular viewers may be aware of the Armory's two cats, Rudy and La La, few have probably heard of the building's other pair of four-legged mascots; Tug, an English Bulldog bitch, and Ace, a French Bulldog stud. These two are the best of friends &#8212 so friendly, in fact, that they openly hump each other every chance they get. Needless to say, this dynamic duo have clearly picked up on what we do here. With 2 frisky dogs and 2 cunning cats running around the Armory, it seems appropriate to ask which team of pets would most likely prevail in an all-out paw against claw showdown. You can tell us who you'd put your money on by voting in our Armory Pet Poll in Behind Kink's Forum.

When on the set with porn star Francois Sagat a year or so ago, and he told me that his Titan contract was up, I asked him what he planned to do. "More mainstream stuff", he said. "I've worked with the best. What else is there me to do here?" Then he paused and smiled, "... Erik Rhodes?" (They've been very openly lusting after each other since the 2006 GayVN awards when Greg Thompson snapped the above photo of them together.)

He got his wish, I guess, because word came from Falcon's gay love nest in Prague that Francois and Erik had filmed their first scene together on the set of a movie tentatively titled, Erik's Fight Club. The scene, which took place on a boxing ring, ended in Francois fisting Erik. By Francois' estimate, he penetrated Erik roughly up to the bottom of his "f." tattoo (see right).

While their scene won't be released onto DVD for a few months, the fisting bits will only ever be released on Falcon's site. This marks a significant change for Falcon, which hasn't shot a gay fisting scene in almost a decade.

He got his wish, I guess, because word came from Falcon's gay love nest in Prague that Francois and Erik had filmed their first porn scene together, on the set of another gay sequel, Roman's Holiday 2. The hardcore gay scene, which involves strawberries, a fist and a very happy gay couple, won't be out for another few months and will be web-only. (This marks a significant change for Falcon, which hasn't shot a gay fisting scene in almost a decade, and even those were only ever available on a special director's cut DVD.)

No word whether Roman Heart is going to get in on the gay action, but we can only hope for another gay threesome like the one that Roman, Erik and Matthew Rush did for Cross Country a few years back.

When Mason Wyler asked us to go bowling the day after the GayVNs, we could be forgiven for thinking we'd have an easier time knocking him down than any pins. It's no stretch to call Mason a gay slut. While there are plenty of gay porn stars addicted to cock, only Mason held a contest where the winner got both a chance at his ass AND a cash prize.

Until recently, however, a night with Mason meant you were feeding the beast. Even after the seven-man pounding he endured in Spokes III, he wasn't satisfied. The self-appointed King of Bottoms is a voracious as ever, but it's nice to know that the creamy gay stud can still top. Over the weekend, he shot a video for his own site where he tops the Gaul out of Phillipe Delvaux.

Smoldering 21 year-old Cuban bodybuilder Alain Lamas made a splash last year when made the rounds on a couple of the muscle-worship amateur sites. Damien Crosse and Francesco D'Macho sent over an exclusive image set from a recent shoot he did with them for Stag Homme. in “Acere” (Cuban slang for "homie"), he still keeps things solo -- unfortunately -- but raises the ante somewhat by getting into some piss play and flashing his hole.

He's straight (or as Damien so eloquently puts it, "Unfortunately she's straight :( Not like gay for pay straight, but real straight") and I'm *so* not into the muscle-worship stuff, I'm willing to make an exception for Alain, thanks to his spectacular ass and utterly exquisite pink hole.

Check out the pics (after the jump) ... I think you'll be hard pressed to disagree.

Despite some early grumbling about the sports-related theme, this year's 2009 GayVN Awards presented by NakedSword are shaping up to be what could very well be the most memorable gay porn event of the year. I've been lucky enough to go to the GayVN Awards for the last 8 years: While they're always fun, the awards themselves never quiet felt as grand or decadent as one might expect from, well, a gay porn awards ceremony.

This year, the awards return to the Castro Theatre, and what was once an industry-only event at a small nightclub in West Hollywood has morphed into a three-day, star-studded event filled with tons of parties -- some free and all open to the public.

Things kick off this Friday, March 27th, with the Tailgate Party -- a sort-of "around the world"-type thing where 12 different gay porn studios each take over a different bar in the Castro. Even the reclusive Bel Ami are flying in uberhot Luke Hamill and Dolph Lambert from Prague (below) for their party:

Saturday, March 28th, Tim & Roma will be taping a live show during the Porn Star Brunch at 11 a.m. The awards themselves start at 7 and they will be three hosts: Margaret Cho, Janice Dickinson and Alec Mapa. Immediately following is the Shameless!, the Official NakedSword Afterparty -- and if it's any bit as fun as the NakedSword afterparty two years ago, it will be insane.

If you can't make it out to SF next weekend, I'll be liveblogging all weekend and posting updates to my twitter page (assuming I survive). The boys from BelAmi will also be tweeting what they're up to.

If you're feeling lucky you can enter here to win two VIP tickets from AVN.

It was recently decided that the concept of "co-directing" a website wasn't too realistic, so despite their earlier plans to join forces, Matt Williams will now singlehandedly direct DeviceBondage.com while Lochai continues to run Hogtied.com as before. Matt plans to bring his unique style to the hardcore hardware site as well as make a few exciting changes. Device Bondage members can look forward to 3 shorter updates a week, younger, hotter girls &#8212 and best of all, a fat price-cut to ease the burden on your already weeping wallet. The changes take effect on April 1st, and despite the date, we can assure you that THIS IS NO APRIL FOOLS DAY JOKE! So be sure to mark your calendars for the launch of Device Bondage 2.0!

Starting this week, FuckingMachines.com will begin offering a special weekly treat. In addition to the hardcore machine-fucking action you've come to know and love, the site will now offer bonus updates every Friday, in which sweet, untrammeled amateur girls experience hot lights, oiled pistons, and powerful motor-driven dildos for the very first time in their lives! They are all 18-20 year-olds, curious to try something totally new, and willing to let us watch their genuine first reactions to the machine. It's like Christmas in March! You don't want to miss these irresistible machine-virgins eagerly popping their porn-cherries for the camera. "Amateur-Girl Fridays" begins this Friday!
