In case you haven't noticed, Hungary has gone far and away beyond Santa Monica Boulevard and certain blocks South of Market when it comes to being an incubator for some of today's hottest porn stars; every day brings a flood of DVDs to our mailbox featuring strapping hunks of uncut Eastern European flesh with clusters of impenetrable consonants attached to them. But how to make sense of all those Arpads and Tamases and Csabas and Attilas and Istvans? And what are the cultural implications of all those erstwhile straight muscle dudes doing gay porn for the North American market? Queer Me Now digs up a series of articles that appeared in news review Nyugat.hu about the Hungarian gay porn scene over the last few years which despite their alternately hand-wringing and homophobic slants do shed some light on the Budapest gay porn scene—and not incidentally give you some directors and performers to watch out for next time you're deciding how best to spend your quarters at your local peep booth. As for how to pronounce all those names ... well, we're afraid you're on your own for that. Sorry if we got your hopes up.
