Welcome to Dandy Dicks

What is it we have here exactly, this site in front of you? Simple said: it’s Dandy Dicks. Welcome. And you’re welcome. Dandy Dicks is the world’s first online gay porn magazine. A place to get your culture, entertainment, learn something from time to time and get exclusive porn from us that’s not just ours, it’s unique.

That said, a shout out is immediately necessary. The idea of a porn magazine like ours isn’t completely without precedent – think Playboy at its roots placing racy pornography and juicy editorial side-by-side. Straight men had plenty of different reasons to pick up a copy of Playboy back in the day. But Playboy is straight and it wasn’t done with the immediacy of the internet. We’ve got the original idea and more here – and it’s for gay men. Gay gentlemen. Well thought out pieces by culture-hungry gays and quick and dirty posts to entertain and illicit and laugh. And of course, some of the best porn you’ll find.

After contemplating this, it doesn’t seem like that crazy of an idea, does it? Combining the different things we love about the internet in one place seems like a no brainer. Maybe it came about because of my own personal story. Who am I? A trained writer from a university in San Francisco – a journalist actually. My writing over the years has pushed me from San Francisco to Berlin. Over the course of writing for different publications, and especially here in open and boundary pushing Berlin, it wasn’t long before I got involved with porn (not-so-secretly a love of mine since a teenage gay boy anyways). Here the abundance of parties in sex clubs, sex shops, open attitudes about sex and even its own Porn Film Festival gave me not only a lot to write about, but I became part of that world. Even if I wasn’t making it myself, I was surrounded by people involved in one way or another – filmmakers, lusty consumers, distributors, performers. They all became a part of my life as much as writing has.

And so something like Dandy Dicks (which of course didn’t have a name at first) seemed like a natural fit to me! And it wasn’t long before I found people who wanted to help make this fit work. Now that the site is here, you can see it for yourself. With 11 contributors/Dandy Dicks writing for us (and counting!), with content of all varieties, and countless special Dandy Dicks in front of the camera (you don’t think we’ve released them all at once, do you?) alone and in couples, we’ve got both the action and the culture you’ve been lusting after.
The porn itself is as special as the idea as well. We didn’t take models, we didn’t take porn stars, we don’t use actors. We wanted real guys alone (some of the loners are even straight!) and real couples who really wanted to show off in front of the camera for us. But this isn’t amateur porn either. You’re not looking a blurry, POV smartphone-shot videos, but quality camera work with amazing camera people. That's quality porn with a fresh angle. On top of that, we have the proof, because we wanted to get to know the guys! Along with the sexy stuff, there’s a candid chat with each one of them.

Of course, that’s the flash-forward-to-today version of the story and I’ll share more with you about Dandy Dicks in upcoming blogs, but you get the picture, right? But for now, this blog announces our arrival in June 2015. Go check out the rest of the site for yourself, read our awesome editorial and get yourself a membership while you’re at it – you don’t just want half the experience, do you?

WHAT IS DANDY DICKS AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

And who the hell am I? If you’ve been following the blog at all, you may have wondered out of which horny hole this perverted punk has stepped. I won’t reveal too much – a bit of mystery is sexy, right? But a few things may be in order.

First, I was born in that part of the world that most people think is actually Canada, but it’s not. I was born in Alaska. Who would have thought that place could produce more than oil and Sarah Palin – two decidedly unsexy things.

Second, I’m no stranger to sex on screen. I appeared in two arty porn films with DVD releases: one in San Francisco and one here in Berlin. There may be other footage of me out there, but if so, I don’t know where. And yup, I moved to Berlin from gay ol’ San Francisco, where I learned to be a proper fag and how to be a writer all at the same time.

There’s more from San Francisco coming your way via Dandy Dicks, so stay tuned.

But I left San Francisco. And took my heart with me. Five years now in Berlin and I can’t think of a better place to be. I’ve been making it here as a writer ever since and I’m happy to report there’s no going back.

I think I’ve given you enough of the basics. More you’ll just have to find out either through this blog or a little Google. But I hope with that you stick around Dandy Dicks – for this blog and of course, the boys!
