Below Deck star Lobo is about to embark on a gay porn career
Lobo is best known for his appearance on the fifth season of Bravo’s reality television show, Below Deck. On the show, Lobo worked as a deckhand for the luxury yacht featured as the set and stage for the season’s action. Lobo enjoyed his time working on the show; he was able to bring all of his experience from working in the cruise and yachting industry to television. “The show was a great opportunity to explore something different. I met nice people and being recognized from TV is a humbling experience, to be sure,” Lobo says.
When his time on Below Deck ended, Lobo Carreira decided to take his creative energy in an adult-entertainment direction. He and his husband, Alex Ink, accepted an invitation to perform for Lucas Entertainment during the studio’s November 2022 production. “We wanted to explore the experience of being porn actors. So we decided to accept—the experience was on a professional level,” Lobo says.
Lobo returned to Lucas Entertainment in February 2023.
It was an easy decision for him to make, since he had an incredible experience the first time he worked with the studio. He especially enjoyed his time with the cast and crew, and never imagined he would make the strong bonds he did. And it is those bonds that are most important to him. “For me, that is the best part of it all,” Lobo says.
Lobo Carreira is a native of Portugal who boasts masculine good looks, a sculpted body and is well endowed.
When Lobo is not performing on camera, he enjoys hitting the gym, playing video games, and travelling the world with his husband. Lobo is completely versatile in the bedroom, and he finds himself attracted to strong and masculine men with ample muscles and big packages!
Lobo Carreira’s debut scene—dropping on Friday, April 7th 2023—features co-stars Tomas Brand and Steven Angel. The scene will later appear in the movie, Bareback Auditions 23: Fucked Silly.
Former gay porn actor Casey Tanner, also known as Slayde, has passed away at the age of 28.
We are very sad in sharing this news, which was announced by some of Casey’s industry colleagues and co-stars on social media.
While the exact details of his death are not yet known, Liam Riley and Lane Rogers (aka Blake Mitchell), both friends and former partners of Casey, confirmed the news on Twitter, and XBIZ has also confirmed it.
His boyfriend, took to the comment section of Str8UpGayPorn to say,
“I would like to inform you all that his death was not due to any overdose situation. He had heath problems that for many years had been progressing. The combination of multiple failed organs, and contracting pneumonia for about the last month of his life, I assure you he passed comfortably in hospice care.
“It is unreal the amount of love and outreach we have had, and im sure all can understand how it is challenging to get back to every message.”
Casey Tanner began his career in the adult film industry in 2013 and worked primarily with Helix studios. He collaborated with notable performers such as Calvin Banks, Max Carter, Grayson Lange, and Blake Mitchell, and many others. Casey retired from the industry around 2017 to relocate to San Diego and be with his partner. In addition to his work at Helix, he filmed three scenes for Icon Male in 2014 alongside Adam Russo, Ty Roderick, and Connor Maguire.
Speaking his mind, porn star Mr Cali gave a crucial piece of advice for those who are new to porn, or who want a career in adult entertainment.
Speaking on the Demystifying Gay Porn podcast, adult star Mr Cali gave an incredible piece of advice for newbies starting out in porn and it had nothing to do with douching, cock size or being able to take an arm.
No, his advice was very straight forward and it was simply to know your worth.
Speaking to I. Que Grande Cali said, “I would tell my young self, to own and value your worth. Know who you are and tell them (the studio) what you deserve. Walk into the situation knowing you need this amount of money. You have a budget for who you are.
“You’re valued, but you don’t know it walking through”.
Ⓒ NOIR MALE Cali has shot for studios like Noir Male as well as having his own very popular fan’s site.
Know when to say “No”
He then added, “Don’t say yes to everything, sometimes you got to say no and walk away”.
Sounds very sage to us and pretty relevant to all walks of life.
Porn star Drew Dixon has admitted that he got his rather distinctive bird tattoo design off someone’s Pinterest page. In a candid social media post, the star told fans that people, who asked about the ink, often mistook the bird for an “evil pigeon” before admitting he had no idea what kind of bird it was, saying that the design was actually “from Pinterest”.
The tattoo was a birthday present from Drew to Drew and according to the performer, “marked a change” in his life, adding, “It symbolises my freedom, to be able to spread my wings and take flight, go where the wind takes me, see the world in its glory, looking at the bigger picture, taking everything in before making decisions”.

The star who has recently been working with Lucas Entertainment was recently spotted in Nottingham, UK, for a mass orgy-scene organised by the studio.
With the elections looming in the US, one porn star, Beaux Banks has found the PERTY way to ask his fans whether they’re registered to vote.
There are so many ways to encourage people to register to vote, and sometimes you just have to use your given talents to persuade people.
We’ve gotta say that Beaux’s way is very appealing.
In a cheeky picture, wearing a very sexy pair of Andrew Christian jocks, posted on social media, he wrote, “May I ASSk you a question….Are You Registered To Vote? If not head to vote.gov and get registered today!”
Now if this perky pic doesn’t get you to register we don’t know what will, well that and obviously exercising your democratic rights.

Fans thanked the star for using his platform to get people to register. One user commented “You are so awesome” while another added, “Well played sir, well played!”.
For most of us finding out that you’ve got an STI (sexually transmitted infection) can be an embarrassing moment. For some, the awkwardness comes from the prodding and probing of sexual health nurses and doctors but for many, it’s because there’s a stigma attached to contracting an infection, which is silly right?
The majority of us have sex at some point during our lives and with sex comes risk and responsibility and there are literally hundreds of thousands of infections caught and dealt with every year by our healthcare professionals and that’s just here in the UK.
The vast majority of STIs are curable with medication or at least manageable, and with many of us contracting at least one STI in our lifetimes we have to ask why there’s such a stigma?
“Dirty Vs Clean”

One doctor in March this year said that people should stop using the words “dirty” and “clean” when it comes to talking about sexual health saying that STIs were “not a matter of personal hygiene” as there was “no way of telling who has an STI by just looking at them”. Doctor Sutton added that the words “dirty” and “clean” had a stigma attached to them.
“If we’ve slept together, by all means, get in touch about it”
Part of the embarrassment, for some, finding out that they’ve got an STI is the track and trace element, whereby they’re encouraged to tell their sexual partners that they’ve tested positive for something.
After contracting an STI it’s best to contact everyone you’ve had sex within recent months, this is so they can go and get tested themselves and get treatment if necessary. As many of the infections can actually be asymptomatic, many people won’t know they’ve got anything wrong with them so telling them to get tested empowers them to stop the disease from spreading any further.
“I’ve had a positive STI result”
Porn star John Thomas has managed to break the stigma by tweeting his sexual health diagnosis on Twitter saying, “I’ve had a positive STI result (if we’ve slept together, by all means, get in touch about it).”
He even managed to make a joke about the situation by adding that when he was asked about how many people he had had sex with, he could only answer “a lot”. Well, he is a porn star after all!
His Tweet was met with dozens of positive messages from fans and fellow porn stars congratulating him for breaking down the stigma to getting tested and revealing the results.
John also added, “If you’re sexually active, getting tested is a part of life. Talking about it helps break down people’s feelings of shame around it that we’ve been conditioned to feel.”
Fellow porn star, Luca D’amore said, “Thank you for taking the stigma away from getting tested!”
A fan added, “I have HUGE respect for you sharing this. Thank you for this post!”
Another said, “Yes -more disclosure! Thank you. Normalize sexual health and responsibility!”
Star DADDYBLACKXXX said that using Twitter to inform John’s sexual partners that they may need to get in touch with him was an “honest way to go about it informing people Quick and easy … more people should do this” adding that he would do it like that in future.
It is recommended that sexually active people, who have a number of different sexual partners should go for an STI test at their local Sexual Health clinic every 3 to 6 months, or order a FREE at-home HIV test kit from Saving Lives. if you use the promo code: GAYUK20.
Logan McCree, (Philipp Tanzer), a former gay porn star has made a short documentary which is currently available to watch on the BBC iPlayer.

I Am A Men’s Rights Activist Reviewed
However clocking in at only 24 mins the documentary barely scratches the surface of what Tanzer claims he is trying to uncover or really explore any of the subjects that he mentions at the start of the programme, like male circumcision, domestic abuse against men, society’s expectations of men and paternity rights for fathers going through a divorce.
What’s left is a paper-thin outline of a documentary, with barely any contributors or stories for the audience to feel anything for the subjects raised.
The show lacks stats and fails to find any significant experts, aside from a divorce lawyer and an Open University research associate to talk about some of the issues raised.
What’s for sure is 24 minutes really isn’t long enough to explore this subject.
The Spanish former porn star dies after apparently taking his own life.

Speaking on the latest Himeros podcast gay porn star Alex Faux revealed what he thinks is the hardest thing about being a bottom in gay porn.
Speaking with the studio’s creator, Davey Wavey, about the issue confidence, both body and mind, and whether taking part in porn was empowering, Alex revealed,
“I can work with people that I’m not necessarily attracted to or they’re gay for pay, but that for me is the hardest part in porn, especially as a bottom, which is about 99% of what I do.
But he said, the worst bit was “When your in a scene with a partner who isn’t gay, or who isn’t into you, that for me is one of the struggles in porn, because it breaks down the reason I did it.
“I’m back to square one where I’m like, ‘shit, am I not good enough?’
