CockyBoys is a New York City-based producer of gay internet pornography. Managed by CEO Jake Jaxson and his two partners, RJ Sebastian and Benny Morecock, the site has drawn attention from inside and outside the adult industry for blending arthouse erotica and experimental film with mainstream-style genre films. The 2012 reality television feature film ''Project GoGo Boy'' is considered the studio's breakout hit. Though CockyBoys primarily releases content through its website, the studio also manufactures a popular DVD line through EuroMedia Distribution. In addition to digital media, CockyBoys partnered with Bruno Gmünder in 2014 and published a book of erotic photography titled ''A Thing of Beauty'' leading to an international book tour. CockyBoys has earned several nominations and awards, including "Gay Studio of the Year" at the 2014 XBIZ Awards. ==History== CockyBoys was founded by Kyle Majors in 2007. Based in Los Angeles, Majors' version of the site took a voyeuristic approach focusing heavily on jocks, tattooed guys, and southern California culture. Majors wrote of his vision: "No complicated stories, just a great location with hot boys fucking – no lavish costumes or stupid uniforms – just cock pounding ass." In early 2010, CockyBoys was sold to New York-based filmmaker Jake Jaxson, becoming one of only two major gay adult studios in the city. The site briefly went offline to undergo a complete transformation, and was re-launched with a new design, full HD content, mobile device compatibility, and a streamlined sign-up process. A new roster of exclusively signed models was recruited including Mason Star, Gabriel Clark, and Tommy Defendi. The look and feel of the films also changed drastically, with more attention to cinematography and editing. The inner workings of the studio came to light in August 2012, when ''New York Magazine'' profiled self-taught web designer Benny Morecock and his relationship with Jake Jaxson and RJ Sebastian. The article, "He & He & He", was later adapted into a play titled ''Gay Sex'' for a Vassar College student's senior thesis. The writer led a panel discussion with Morecock, Jaxson, and Sebastian on life, love, and their art porn movement. In June 2013, Jaxson garnered international headlines when the ''New York Daily News'' revealed that his former business partner was Glenn Greenwald, the journalist behind the National Security Agency scandal. Additionally, CockyBoys signed a professional dancer they named Jett Black in 2013 who was expelled from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet for his work with the studio. Jett Black and CockyBoys became the center of an international news story when ''CBC News'' in Canada interviewed Jaxson and Black for a feature that ran online and on television about the whole scandal. In October 2014, CockyBoys announced that two of its films were selected to screen at the 2014 Berlin Porn Film Festival: ''Fuck Yeah Levi Karter'', a documentary featuring an intimate look at the CockyBoys star's life and fast rise to porn stardom composed entirely of footage from his own phones, computers, and cameras, and ''Answered Prayers: The Banker'', part one of an allegorical morality play set against an ancient family feud and the follies of men. The six-part miniseries was profiled in ''The Village Voice'' with a multi-page story detailing the inspiration behind the project.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CockyBoys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
