MADRID—During its first 15 months in existence, gay adult studio Stag Homme LLC released a best-selling DVD, launched a website, signed three exclusive performers, produced a popular gay-porn reality series and shot several short features specifically for online distribution.
Founders and real-life couple Damien Crosse and Francesco D’Macho are pretty darn proud of themselves for what they have accomplished, but they said they haven’t forgotten the fans who made them successful.
“We at Stag Homme have strived this year to make a home for extraordinary porn that is both cutting edge and beautiful,” the couple wrote in an email. “We can look back upon this year with great satisfaction and pride in reaching our goal. We are also tremendously grateful to the Stag Homme community. Thank you for all your support and feedback that you have given us throughout 2009.”
After launching their exclusive-content website in early October 2008, Crosse and D’Macho set out to conquer the DVD world. During the third quarter of 2009 they released Stag Fight through Raging Stallion, and the title went on to become one of the best-selling DVDs in Raging Stallion’s online store.
The guys plan to release a sequel, Stag Reel, Jan. 29, 2010. A sneak peek at the new title is available at StagHomme.com, as part of the studio’s gay-porn reality series, Stag TV. Spanish photographer Alvaro Villarrubia lensed a special segment about the making of the DVD, and D’Macho and Crosse incorporated the material into “Stag TV: Season Two—the Finale.” That episode also included appearances by Wilfried Knight, Max Schutler, Scott Tanner, Tony Aziz, Jean Franko and Lucio Saints, in addition to Stag Homme exclusives Tomy Hawk, Bruno Fernandez Gutierrez and Biktor Vossou.
“Stag TV gives you a comic-yet-sexy view of the porn world which you won’t find anywhere else,” Crosse said.
The second-season finale also takes viewers behind the scenes of Raging Stallion Studios’ sequel to Arabesque and two of Stag Homme’s online features, Skyscrapers and Spycam 2.
In December, Stag Homme introduced muscular Hungarian newcomer Rob Nelson to fans in the intimate, unscripted Eros, which headliner D’Macho described as “a sensual, versatile fuck galore.”
“Eros focuses on a higher form of sex,” he said. “It’s about everything that is beautiful and poetic about sex. This XXX feature is over half an hour of intense and passionate lovemaking between the two lovers.”
On Tuesday, Stag Homme introduced a new feature shot in Miami, Orlando vs. Matthew. In the short flick, Matthew Rush and Spanish gay-porn favorite Orlando Toro settle their differences in aggressive carnal ways.
In 2010, Crosse and D’Macho plan to take the studio in new directions they see as “envelope shredding,” though they have not yet revealed details. However, they promised their content will not lose its edge. In fact, they look forward to creating more of the “daring guerrilla footage” and “creative fantasy content” they consider Stag Homme’s stock in trade.
“Even though we are happy with where the studio has come to, we can assure you that this is merely the beginning,” the pair wrote in an email. “There are still plenty of envelopes to shred, and we wouldn’t dream of giving up the task to anyone else.”

EVERETT, Wash.—The long-running campaign in Snohomish County to rein in drive-through coffee stands featuring nearly nude baristas will culminate Jan. 7 in new laws that will apply to an estimated half-dozen businesses that are in the county but outside the city limits of Everett, Washington.
“The County Council voted unanimously on Dec. 9 to regulate businesses as adult entertainment if employees show too much skin in public,” reports the Herald. “The council also strengthened the county’s lewd conduct law, including tougher penalties and clarifying definitions for public places. That law also holds business owners and managers accountable for allowing lewd conduct.”
The new rules prohibit baristas from wearing such things as thongs or pasties that don’t fully cover rear ends or the bottom portion of the breasts, but they do not prevent workers from wearing bikinis in public.
The move comes after a long campaign by local citizens who were instrumental in pushing the county to enact the new laws. “We’re planning to go to the Everett City Council as sort of a next step,” said Shahram Hadian, who has organized local opposition to the controversial stands.
“Past complaints have included baristas flashing customers and performing simulated sex acts, as well as employees wearing thongs, pasties and other skimpy clothing,” reports the Herald. “The county’s new rules already appear to be moderating behavior even before they take effect,” Hadian said.
“I definitely think it’s had an impact,” he added. “The word has gotten out and they have toned down.”
According to one of the coffee-stand owners, however, the new rules will have little impact on business.
“It’s not a problem,” said Bill Wheeler, the owner of the Grab-N-Go chain of bikini espresso stands. “My girls look just as beautiful in a bikini as they would in pasties anyways.”
Of perhaps greater significance to the county is its inability to conduct future inspections not only of the coffee stands, but of any adult establishment. According to the Herald, the county auditor is responsible for inspecting all such businesses, including adult bookstores and strip clubs, but since 2008, it has lost its three field inspectors—one was laid off, another resigned and a third retired. None have been replaced.
So, while the new laws will now be on the books, it appears that the honor code and community vigilance will ensure that they are obeyed. But for the relatively few citizens who managed to stir the outrage pot that led to the new laws, however, the marketplace seems to be speaking equally loudly.
After one of Wheeler’s stands changed to more family-friendly attire about a month ago, he estimated business dropped by about 95 percent.
“I don’t plan on doing that with any other stand,” he told the Herald. “Nobody wants to buy coffee from a clothing stand.”
