Yeah, You Make Pretty Awesome Gay Porn—For A Lesbian! Ha!

CALAMITOUS

Or for anyone, really. After making a name for herself directing hot and beautifully shot dyke and queer porn, Shine Louis Houston has turned her sharp eye to the gays. This stuff makes Sean Cody look like Community Theater.

Heavenly Spire is the newest branch of Shine Louis Houston's alt-porn empire, and it's brimming with the sort of cute queer boys you see skateboarding in your city's downtown areas or chain smoking cigarettes in dive bars or attending Joanna Newsom concerts. These are the sort of alt-gays who are as wily as they are lovable, the sort of guys we feel like we'd date if we were more interesting people.

This fact actually made us sort of skeptical about how well this site would really work. We've had our brush with queer theory and its enthusiasts, but nowadays we just feel like sellouts in front of them. Add to that the fact that so much artsy porn is so obsessed with being beautiful that it forgets to be, you know, pornographic, and we imagined ourselves to be in for a seriously boring treat. But Houston's movies are really incredibly hot. Her cinematography manages to frame those parts of the body that are the most erotic, but in ways that paint beautiful pictures. We're really into it. Be sure to check out the preview for Leather Daddy Sven. He's a personal favorite.
