What else is blogosphere talking about? Here are some things that caught our eyes:

• There’s a rather lively debate on the number of men of color cast in main California gay porn productions. Victor Hoff at his excellent MOC blog makes his case here. Interestingly, the folks over at Unzipped take issue with his numbers over here.

  We at Friskynews.org almost never discuss politics. However we’ll take this opportunity to note that Hoff’s observation on the paucity of men of color is restricted to recent Internet companies. These practices go back way before the major web sites he refers to even opened for business. Also, be careful: Numbers and statistics can be misleading, which is why Unzipped criticized Hoff as employing affirmative action-style numbers to his analysis.

  Moving right along…

Lots of blogging going on lately in the gay porn ether.

The GayVn Awards show on March 29th inspired all kinds of reactions. There’s cheers and joy from GayPornBlog, who was associated with the awards event. Blogs singing odes to joy come some of the night’s big winners: Raging Stallion director Chris Ward and their exclusive sexual powerhouse Ricky Sinz.

Vinnie D’Angelo just glows in writing his personal report of the GayVNs, proudly showing the awards won by him and boyfriend Logan McCree on his blog.

Michael Lucas and Brent Corrigan are talking about their own personal experiences from the show.

Our friends at Lavender Lounge were hired as the official photographers for the 2009 GayVNs. As always, Mark excels in capturing all the show of any kind of show in vivid color. Lounge members can spend many entertaining evenings browsing through them all.

In less dramatic news, there is a great new travel article about saunas in Austria and Germany on XX Factor.

There’s an investigative article about premature ejaculation from the guys at QueerClick.
