A Dawg & His Master - Coming Soon!

Here I am, Friday morning, 15 minutes away from a 9:30 interview that I believe will be a no-show. Just a sneaky suspicion is all. If he shows, I'll be very surprised. But that's okay. I have another one coming at 10:30. A cute, hairy Middle Eastern boy with luscious red lips. Damn. Middle Eastern boy just called and said he can't make it; called in to work. Sigh. At least, after a year, I don't take it as personally as I once did. And at least he called. 9:30 boy has not confirmed.

Well, while I wait for the 9:30 that I think won't show, I thought I'd blog about the latest scene we edited. It's a watersports piece called "A Dawg & His Master." We filmed it last year, a few months after I was laid-off. It's been put on the back burner many times, for various reasons. But now, it's finally finished. Because of the laws governing porn, the scene will only be made available through our Horndawgz theatre. That is, once AEBN does the magic it needs to do.

It's down and dirty. No premise. Just PissMasterFLL and his pissboy. It was filmed in a derelict building, in an apartment that was positively filthy! Somehow it added to the ambiance, though. There were holes in the wall, moldy walls, dirt on the floor, busted glass and even dead bugs all over the place. I don't think pissboy wore his contacts. If he had, he may have thought twice about doing this piss scene where we did. But then again, maybe he's just that into the scene that it didn't matter to him.

Below are some pics from the scene. Something tells me he enjoys drinking straight from the tap! My favorite is the bigger pic of the three.

The trailer for "A Dawg & His Master" appears below. Again, please remember that the scene will only be available through our Horndawgz theatre. However, that won't be for another few weeks yet so be sure to check back! Note that we are having some difficulty with the way certain images are appearing on the page. We hope to have that remedied shortly.

You know what? This blog was finished at 9:45. The 9:30 boy never showed up. No call and no e-mail. Probably for the best since I have two big tests coming up at school next week. I guess the Universe truly does know what it's doing! Enjoy the pics and the trailer.

And, as always, thanks for reading!

New Content

Yesterday, I embarked on a brand new venture that has taken several months to work itself out: filming content for another producer. Mature Gay DVDs.

You would think that I would be okay with filming for another producer since we've already had 6 releases within 12 months. Granted, they were for our own line but all the work that went into it included advertising for the models, meeting with them, recruiting, filming, editing, and packaging paperwork and Master DVDs to get everything out to our distributor, AMVC.

But I was nervous. Not only was I looking at things through someone else's eyes. I was looking for new things and had a slightly different set of directives in mind. I was also working with a brand new camera, a new location, a photographer, and with people watching.

Turns out the shoot wasn't so bad after all! David, the son, was really great. So was Lamar, the Dad. They both hit if off right away and had great chemistry between them. Problem is we didn't want them to cum too soon. I think this, more than anything, gave Lamar a very bad case of stage fright. Performing under pressure for a cum scene is not the easiest thing in the world. I know. I've been there.

After many tries – where the son did all sorts of things to help out Dad – the helpers were sent away. Two and a half hours later, still no cum. So, we had to reschedule. The footage itself looks great. So do the photos. Hopefully, the folks at Mature Gay DVDs will understand.

And I'm doing the best I can to push away a nagging doubt. What if they don't return?

On Making Porn

I think I'm a fairly easy-going guy. Reasonably laid-back and, for the most part, down-to-earth. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I believe everyone deserves respect from the start; until they shatter that trust. I've been called Rose Nylund because I can be naive. There are many things I don't know and I can be gullible. But you know? I'm finding that, at 47, some of that luster is… well… becoming a bit tarnished. The rose-colored glasses are turning a bit opaque. No. No quite jaded. At least, not yet. And I hope I never get there!

So here's the thing. We've had a really fun time in the past year and two months that Horndawgz has been in existence. For the most part, I really love meeting with models for a quickie interview (no personal casting, contrary to popular belief, though I've had a few offers!). I like the energy exchange. I like sizing each other up and getting a feel for that person; grooving on their vibe.

We've begun to recruit new talent, in earnest, as I'm shooting content for another producer as well as shooting for our own projects. As a result, I've come into more contact with all different sorts of guys, from younger to older. What I have them do is come meet with me for roughly half an hour. Think of it as an interview. In that time, they fill out a questionnaire that details their sexual preferences and we take some sample test shots so we know what the model looks like when we look through our book.

For the most part, it's been an enjoyable experience. But lately? I've come across a few that have left me annoyed, aggravated and, frankly, stupefied.

And then it hit me. There's obviously a HUGE misconception out there that is leaving people with the wrong impression of what making porn is actually like and what they can expect.

First and foremost, to some, it's a fantasy. I know this. It's certainly been for me. Up until very recently, when I got in front of the camera – both for the experience and the much needed money! – my perception changed. For me, it was the fulfillment of a fantasy but it was also something that became a high. I enjoyed getting paid for having sex. I enjoyed taking my clothes off, touching another body, finding out what makes them tick.

I quickly discovered that I wouldn't be able to quit my day job and make a living at making porn. I wasn't going to get rich by taking my clothes off. And there's a certain shelf life. Not age-wise, since there are movies being filmed with Dads and Grandads. It's more of a personal choice to hang it up and known when to pull out; if you'll pardon the pun.

So… to the boys that comically and, indignantly I might add, declare that they cannot and will not go before the camera for less than $1,000; dream on. Nice work if you can get it. And if you get it, make sure you tell me how because I sure as hell want in on THAT gig! Do you really mean to tell me that you'd rather give it away for free? Oh, and if you tell me that "such-and-such studio" offered you much more, or paid you more, be forewarned. I will reply… nicely… with "Well, perhaps you should take them up on that offer or go back to them."

To the men who say, "I'm very picky and selective," yet don't bother to fill out what they like to do when they have sex on camera, be warned. My reply will be – again, nicely – "Thank you very much for stopping by but we're not a dating agency or an escort service."

For those that call ten minutes before they're scheduled to be here and can't make it because they overslept, thank you for being truthful. Yes, I will reschedule you but I will tell you point blank – again, nicely! – "Please make sure to set your alarm clock."

And for anyone who does not even bother to be courteous enough to take my card and put it in their wallet – you can throw it out when you leave – you're sending me a very big message. If you weren't interested, why did you just waste my time and yours?

To recap, here's a few short, quick, hard truths. I don't want to sound jaded and I sure don't want to turn off anyone interested in getting in front of the camera for me and fucking their brains out. But:

You won't get rich by doing porn.
Not everyone is Matthew Rush or Leo Giamani, lucky enough to have exclusive contracts.
Not every studio is Falcon or Lucas Entertainment so, no, we can't all pay what you probably should be paid.
The rules have changed and we all have to change along with them.

But you will:
Make some extra cash! Even if you only get $250 for 2 hours worth of work, you're still ahead of the game!
Have a hell of a lot of fun!
Meet new people!
Gain experience that you can then take to the bigger studios who will be able to pay you more!

Kinda, Sorta, Horndawgz Related


I'm very pleased to announce that "A Stroke At Midnight: Volume 2" is now available! To purchase a copy of "A Stroke At Midnight: Volume 2", in print or as an e-book, click here. You can also purchase Volume 1 of "A Stroke At Midnight" as a print-on-demand paperback or e-book. And remember, if you buy either of the books, be sure to drop me a line and let me know what you think of the book!


In addition, Part 3 of Uncle Piri was just released in the latest issue of Handjobs magazine. I am diligently working on a final draft of the book, which is an expanded version of little Johnny's sexual adventures with his "Uncle" Piri, as they make their way through Coney Island. Be sure to look for further details over the next month or so. We're still planning for a release sometime in March, 2010.

I'm also quite happy to report that "Casa Rodrigo" my first gay, erotic romance novel was recently accepted for e-publication by Loose Id! Contracts have been signed, mailed and received by the publisher. The fun will truly begin when I get down to the nitty-gritty with the editor. Assuming all goes well, the e-book should be released sometime late Spring, early Summer. Can't wait!

And last, but not least, as mentioned in the previous post, film editing on our other two projects for Horndawgz continues. Be sure to stay tuned for further developments on "Piss Master & His Boy" and "Dawgz At Play: Rocky and Dakota"!

As always, thank you for reading.

Off And Running

Belated Happy Holidays to everyone!

Not much was happening in the Horndawg household as 2009 came to a close. With family obligations, friends over for the holidays, and the usual duties and responsibilities that comes with the Holiday season, there really wasn't much time for anything else!

However, 2010 is off with a bang. Lots of stuff happening with plenty more to come! So if I'm a bit late in getting posts up on the blog, please forgive me.

First up, I've finally finished putting together "A Stroke At Midnight: Volume 2." YAY!!! The book will be available through Lulu press as either an actual book that will be mailed to you, or as an e-book that you can download. A link will be provided once the book is approved and signed off on. We are currently anticipating a proof copy to finalize the production phase of the book. With any luck, "A Stroke At Midnight: Volume 2" should be available for purchase at the end of January or the beginning of February 2010. The first collection, "A Stroke At Midnight," is currently available as either a downloadable book or hard copy.

A Stroke At Midnight by Johnny Miles

In addition to the release of "A Stroke At Midnight: Volume 2", portions of the erotic novel, "My Uncle Piri," have appeared in Handjobs, the Daddy/Son magazine. Part 1 appeared in the December 2009 issue and Part 2 in the January 2010 issue. Parts 3 and 4 will be coming out in the February and March 2010 issues. An extended version of "My Uncle Piri" will be available shortly after the 4th story is published. Look for it towards the end of March, beginning of April 2010.

As if that were not enough, I'm very excited about the gay, erotic romance I've been working on. "Casa Rodrigo" has made it through Round 1 of approvals. I am waiting to hear about Round 2. I'm looking forward to hearing what they say. I know it will be a long and, perhaps, arduous process of editing and finalizing. But it's one I look forward to as it will mean the realization of a life-long dream come true. Some of you may say, "But you're already a published writer!" And that may be. But being published by someone else and getting paid for it are two very different forms of much-needed validation. Yes, I do need strokes to the ego every once in a while. It's not just my cock that enjoys the stroking.

On a final note, I'm back in school to finish my Associates in Liberal Arts. FINALLY!

Dawgz At Play Mathew & Rocky

Our latest Horndawgz release, "Dawgz At Play: Mathew and Rocky" is now available through AMVC. If you would like to purchase the DVD, please click here. The movie is also available through AEBN. If you would like to view it through our Horndawgz Theatre, please click here.

We are diligently working on two new projects. One, a Piss Master and his boy, which will go directly to our AEBN theatre, the other is "Dawgz At Play: Rocky and Dakota." So, for any of you Rocky fans out there, be sure to check back with us for release dates. We're hoping to have it edited in time for a release early March or early April.

Piss Master & piss boyPiss Master & piss boy

And last, but certainly not least, Horndawgz will begin filming content for other studios. We are hoping to start by the end of January, early February. Unfortunately, a lot of steps had to be figured out, discussed, planned and ironed. The models are ready to go, the producer is anxious for me to start, and we even have a wonderful photographer who will be working alongside us on these projects! Now all we need is the camera equipment to finally arrive. That should be happening over the next week or so. Keeping my fingers crossed!

So, as you can see, lots and lots of stuff going on. Much more to look forward to! I apologize for the lengthy post. Hopefully the next one won't be so long.

Wishing you a marvelously healthy, happy and prosperous 2010! And, as always, thank you for reading.

On Recruiting New Faces & Getting Published

This is my first week at recruiting. Thus far, I've had a fun time meeting new people and taking test shots. More possible recruits to come next week. Hopefully, some of the people I've sent to the producer will be paired up soon.

On a different note, Johnny Miles is back with a fresh, new story called "Uncle Piri," published in the December 2009 issue of Handjobs Magazine! It's available in print but they also have the magazine available in .pdf format. For those of you who don't know the magazine, it's for those of us with Daddy/Son fantasies.

On Hope, Faith, The Universe, and Me

I don't know if age has something to do with my new-found ability to see patterns and connections but I know this. I finally understand what "cautiously optimistic" means. For the first time in my life I finally understand hope. I have hope that things are turning and will continue to do so. I can't really say it all started with the cruise we took last January but I have become much more aware of it since then as it was a pivotal turning point in my life.

One night, while on the ship, I remember looking up at the pitch black sky where all you could see were stars. I was having my coffee and across from me was my wonderful partner of 13, almost 14 years. I told him I was tired of the routine and mundane. I wanted adventure, excitement, the feeling that I was alive and thriving. I wanted to truly experience life and not just survive. Silently, I tossed up to the universe: I like this feeling of being untethered.

Less than a week later I, along with the entire group of people I worked with, was laid off. I didn't see the connection then. At least, not clearly. But I suspected.

Fast forward to when I silently tossed up to the universe, as before: I need cash. One of the people we met on the cruise called me and said he needed an assistant on a temporary basis. I got cash. Not a lot mind you, but then I wasn't very specific.

Fast forward to when I silently tossed up to the universe: I want to get paid for staying at home writing. It hasn't been much, but I've been continuing with my reviews, ghostblogging, and working on my gay, erotic novel. If we hadn't said yes to going on the cruise, I never would have met Treva, who inspired me to do exactly what I told the universe I wanted. Still not sure if the novel will be published. It's not yet finished. But I have hope. I am "cautiously optimistic".

Fast forward a few more months to where I silently tossed up to the universe: I want the brass ring. I want the money, the luxury to spend my time doing as little as possible, have fun doing it, and enjoying life by immersing myself into projects that are exciting and stimulating. I want all the money I need to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and the health to go along with it so I can enjoy my life and, again, thrive. Those may not have been the very words I used but it was the jist. Or is that gist?

Anyway, today, the very first of what will hopefully be many men, showed up at our door. He didn't have a brass ring but he wore a cockring. I think that counts. I'm getting closer. I'm "cautiously optimistic".

I will be taking on yet another new venture and filming content for other producers as well as continuing with our own movies. I was given the green light to proceed and recruit. I have hope this will work. I am "cautiously optimistic".

The pattern? I've asked for things I want, with no preconceived notions. With no conditions placed. And it's come to pass. True, I could have been a bit more detailed. True, I didn't think some of it would come to pass via losing my main source of income, but that's okay.

The connections? If I hadn't… If this had not happened… In other words, the power of Yes, I will…

The faith part? Believing with all my heart that something I wish for can happen, even when reason and practicality tells me it shouldn't be so.

Only time will tell but I think I see the connection between hope, faith, the universe and me.

In the meantime, if anybody out there knows of any Daddies or Boys (at 47 I think I've earned the right to call anyone in their 20s a boy!) that want to do porn, send them my way. Or if anyone out there reading this is a Daddy or a Boy (18 and over) and you want to try your … ummmmm… hand, at porn … get in touch with me.

I am putting it out there. I am silently tossing up to the universe, Daddies and Boys will come my way so I can film them. They will have fun playing together. I will have fun filming them. And I will make lots of money filming content for others. I am "cautiously optimistic".

As always, thank you for reading.

OMFG! Has it really been that long?

I have to admit that when it comes to daily blog updates, let alone weekly or even monthly, I admire people who have the energy, time and stamina to keep up with it. I have enough problems keeping up with daily life, let alone trying to document it. But then, that's why I always had such a hard time keeping journals. In the past, when I kept journals, I'd go weeks before making an entry. My Comp & Lit professor, during my youth at NYU, actually said he liked those types of journals best as the gaps sometimes punctuated a person's activities better than the actual documentation of them. Whatever. Personally I just think he lusted after my ass. I found out years later I was correct! And no. That's NOT how I got my A.

That having been said, I can't believe it's been so long since my last blog entry. It doesn't seem like it. I guess September really wasn't last week, huh?

Amidst trying to evict a long-term cold, writing more porn site reviews, two porn stories that will soon appear in Handjobs Magazine (updates to cum), trying to finish my gay, erotic romance, returning to school to finish my A.A. (just 6 fucking classes left!) as well as sometimes blogging for RawTop, my partner and I managed to squeeze in 2 film shoots! Of course, I've paid for all this activity dearly. Not only have I ignored some friends but that kick-ass cold just doesn't seem to want to leave. It likes it's new digs. I must be a good host because my lungs haven't been empty or alone for nearly a month now. But Doc says I'm fine; even after the alphabet soup of tests.

But you don't want to read about that schmutz.

What you DO want to read about is Mathew James and Rocky Coxxx. I mentioned them in my last post. I'm so happy we were able to get the two of them together! They were very hot and extremely wonderful to work with. Professional and fun. They made our job very easy. Of course, that was the fun part; filming. The editing took a while but it's all now in the can and off to our distributor! Below are a couple of pics for you to enjoy and, hopefully, whet your appetite for our 6th release entitled "Dawgz At Play: Mathew & Rocky." No trailer yet, but I'm working on it. It should be up next week. I hope.

Mathew James and Rocky Coxxxtwo dicks side by side

Mathew, on the left, is nicely toned, smooth, and has a big dick that's pleasant to look at; to say the least! He's appeared in several ShowGuys movies, available through AMVC, as well as a few others studios. Mathew takes one hell of a pounding, too!

As for Rocky, well… sigh… what can I say about the tattooed bad boy? I just have a dumb, silly school girl crush on him because he's so damned cute! And that smile… like buttah! If I was a girl I'd probably be quite wet by now!

As mentioned, "Dawgz At Play: Mathew & Rocky" is our 6th and last release for 2009. It will be available December 4, the first Friday of the month. Be sure to check back here for a link to purchase the DVD.

Looking back, it's kinda hard to believe that Horndawg Productions has now been in existence for one full year and survived! We're not making the kind of money I would like to draw a salary from.Yet. But at least we've gotten to the point where we're not having todole out from our own pockets, either. Everything we've earned thus farhas been rolled back into the company to pay for the next project. Iguess that's an achievement! The best part of all is that we're havinga lot of fun doing it. Sometimes I step back, look at my partner andask, "Did that really just happen? Did two really hot guys just fuck inour bed?" In this case it's a massage table.

Thanks to AMVC and RawTop for all their help and encouragement. But mostly, thanks to all the fans! Hopefully next year we'll be able to draw some sort of salary. If not, we'll just keep rolling the money into the business in order to bring you even more releases!

For now, I leave you with one final parting shot. I chose it only because I liked the colors and the "artsiness" of it. I couldn't even repeat the process if I tried! As always, thank you for reading. Be sure and check back for that link on December 4th!
