When NakedSword and Bel Ami teamed up last year to create “Dirty Rascals,” the industry and fans took note of how hot studio collaborations can be.

Mission Man: Trenton Ducati Steps Outside the Industry to Answer a Bigger Calling

Crowded House: Falcon Studios Group is a Gay Porn Juggernaut

It’s fitting, really, that the stars aligned this way — a sort of poetic symmetry about how the lineage of gay porn’s biggest names have found themselves under one roof. In early July, Hot House president Steven Scarborough announced his retirement from the industry — leaving his legacy in the hands of Chris Ward, who soon re-branded his new triumvirate as Falcon Studios Group.

Bryan Ockert: Controlled Chaos

It’s no small miracle that Bryan Ockert even has time to talk about his passion. For all intents, ChaosMen is a one-man band that has its creator working 16-hour days, seven days a week. Multiply that by nearly 10 years, and you have an idea of how very tired the president/producer must be.
