The purity of response that marks his performances comes from the simple fact that he's doing this stuff for the first time. So film work is impelling him into greater sexuality. A basically shy lad, Ryan tells me he likes making movies because people  his sex partners and the filmmakers  tell him what to do, whereas in real life, he'd be a little shy to ask. Cole's the guy who honest-to-God gave up his virginity in his first film ( Closed Set: Titan Stage One). The scene I'll see filmed depicts the father's first sexual experience, when a houseguest presented the young college boy with a cock that wasn't to be overlooked.Ĭole is playing his character's father in the scene, a neat twist compounded by his personal sexual history. Looking over love letters from Army buddies, and old physique magazines, Cole realizes his father's hitherto unsuspected homo-adventuring. Several days after this shoot, Titan announces that Dragon, who appears to swell effect in several of Joe Gage's current films for the company, will begin directing films for their ManPlay line.Ĭole Ryan's the central character in The Chest, playing a young gay man who discovers his father's decades-old stash of sexual memorabilia. Mills tactfully coaches Dragon on ways to maneuver the equipment, and make his moves smoother. Yes, the sexo vet is learning yet another facet of the adult-film industry, cameraman. But managing the heavy camera that's slipping around on his shoulder, that's new. He's enjoyed a bit of a renaissance as a performer, and directed a few films for his own company. When I can't keep myself from flirting with him, giving some well-deserved compliments on how fit he looks, he tells me he takes professional-level ballet classes weekly. He puts me in mind of the old Blackglama ad: What becomes a porn star most? Crow's feet, that's what, and more salt in his hair than pepper. Where Mills has an eternal Abercrombie-Fitch boyishness going on as he approaches the middle of his fourth decade, Dragon's ripening. The hottest guy on the set  okay, the hottest man, since we'll not contest the allure of the scene's youthful stars â€â€was Ray Dragon. The still photographer checked his equipment, and the cameramen spooled cable and connected the monitors on which Mills would watch the action they'd be recording, as he quietly called the shots he'd like them to go for. The two young co-stars, Simon Angel and Cole Ryan, were canoodling like pups as director Brian Mills fluffed up the homey bedroom set he'd designed.
I was disappointed the set wasn't crawling with naked men, but soon found it a privilege to eavesdrop on a two-man scene that director Brian Mills infused with unusual intimacy. I can report on the fully exposed basket I saw as a guest observer for the filming of a key scene of Titan Media's new sexo, The Chest. I'm a little dubious that there are any bulge thrills to be had there, or we'd already have heard about them. Well, I haven't seen the flick yet, so I don't know. What you really want to know is if Superman shows any basket.
