For some people, porn awards are literally nothing. Really. They're just another silly thing porn stars do. But those people are NOT porn stars and they are not in the business of creating erotica. They are not the ones who are sex workers. They are not the ones that spend hours producing the videos that so many people jerk off to (yeah, even those who do not pay for porn, natch). Homosexuals watch porn. Heterosexuals watch porn. Asexuals watch porn (yes, they do). Many, many people watch porn and they don't, for a second, think about the performers who give them so much pleasure. Kind of Selfish, they are.


But I like following the lives and times of gay Porn stars. And I like Rhyheim. So when I found that video of him accepting the award he has won, I had to post it here. It's almost funny to think that someone whose occupation hinges on showing every inch of his body on camera while performing almost gymnastic sex acts, could be almost bashful when accepting an award. But we never know, right? Again, we cannot judge a book by its cover. It's a mistake we often make and keep doing even when we are showed time and again that it's a silly thing to do.


Rhyheim's porn output is just the right combination of lust and savoir faire. It teeters the line between gonzo camerawork and crisp cinematography. It's intimate, yet the attention to production is there. There is a lot of work that goes into creating porn, and Mr. Shabazz makes it seem almost easy. And that, my dears, is a feat that needs to be recognized. And it was. Rhyheim won the Performer of the Year Award at the 2022 Str8UpGayPorn Awards. Yay him. Well deserved. Oh, and if you are not familiar with his oeuvre, just follow the hyperlinks. Yes, you can find free porn online. I know, shocking, right?




It has been a somehow interesting year for Rhyheim Shabazz, mind you. Apart from being recognized as a performer, he was the first gay Porn Star to achieve the milestone of having one million followers on Twitter. I published something about it. Only to be sabotaged and put in Twitter jail for undisclosed offences. And coincidentally,  so was his boyfriend, Elijah Zayne, and his cameraman, EyeFlimzX. You could almost say it was a concrete effort to get him off of social media. All went dark at the same time. All without any explanation. It was almost as if haters somebody would have reported them for undisclosed violations out of... jealousy? 


But now Rhyheim is back on social media and he's slowly but surely building back his following. And both his OnlyFans and his JustForFans seem to be doing quite well, thankyouverymuch. He is, pretty much a content creator, a man who controls his output and who seems to be doing quite well without being tied to a specific porn studio. He basically creates the content he wants. And his fans seem to like it. A lot.  Amateur porn is here to stay.




So congratulations, Mr. Shabazz. Well deserved. Let’s hope it’s the first of many awards he wins. He has gone from a capable but somehow limited-range performer on TimTales to a well-rounded bona fide Porn Star who controls his own porn output. Kudos. And now, if you excuse me, I have to do some... research. I just realized there are some new things on his Twitter feed that I have not seen before. The things one does for blogging, right?

XOXO

  1. I love it when someone finds their 'thing' in life. Such a beautiful man: smart, sexy, and oh-so gifted. Thanks for highlighting him. He makes my heart skip a beat. Sigh. Enjoy your weekend, dear.

    And did I mention... so glad you're back!

      I think he didn't even know he had it in him to be this good at what he does. He started very guarded and now look at him, making his own content and being so successful at it. And he's so hot.
      Aww thanks, Upton! *smooches*

      XOXO

  2. Hi!
    What I like about his videos is he always shows the bottom as a person in the scene before the action starts. It makes them less of a piece of meat or object to be played with. The filming, editing and setting is always beautiful. And then there is Fame.....

    OT: Hollywood is having their very first Pride Festival this weekend. Hoo Ray!

    1. Hey Jimmy Heeeyy...

      Absolutely!! His videos always show the bottoms having a good old time. It's almost romantic. He should publish a how-to book. Not to mention the diversity and the sex appeal of the people who appear in his porn.

      And woot woot!

      XOXO

    1. OMG so funny you wrote that.
      I was just talking to someone about the five (5!) vintage porn accounts I found on Insta last week. And we are fresh off the series Upton wrote on porn stars from the sixties, seventies and eighties. Not to mention the blogs in his blogroll that publish just vintage porn.
      Besides, what's on the internet is forever. I'm sure that in twenty or thirty years there'll be people still watching Rhyheim.

  4. He is quite the prolific content creator. And he’s got a hot boyfriend in Elijah. I’ve seen their travels abroad, just your average tourists taking in the sights. Who would have thought they’re normal people? Shocking!

    And you’re right, his costars are equal partners in their works. Something that can be rare in the industry, I think.

    XOXO 👨🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏽

      And he's putting out great content. His twitter feed is a goldmine.
      I love how he's so cute with Elijah and they're partners in porn. Their scenes together are fire.

      XOXO

  5. I find it ironic that the people who act as if they don't like-watch-jerk off to porn are the ones most addicted to it.

    1. Ha!
      Like a black fly in a chardonnay.
      You can say that again. They do protest too much.

  6. The things us bloggers do for our readers....😁😎 Kudos to him, and congratulations! The more they take matters into their own hands more we take matters into....er, the better off they are. XOXO

    Sad note: Louis Anderson, Emmy winner for "Baskets," died this morning (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma). Meat Loaf left us, too. 😢

      Somebody has to do it, right? So I offer myself to go check out some of the porn out there. And his output is quite varied and hot. Very 'amateur' but with nice production values, something the studios have not been able to replicate. Not to mention inclusive in terms of race, ethnicity and body types.

      And I was just adding Thierry Mugler to that list! 2022 is being merciless.

  7. I had to read your article twice. You mentioned that asexuals watch porn. All I could focus on was remembering Morrisey's interview in which he said he was asexual. At the time I was so attracted to him and all I could remember thinking while I read that article was "I could make you sexual"...LOL

    1. Ohhhhh
      Morrisey was soooo hot. I totally approve of your thoughts!
      And Asexuals just don't experience sexual attraction the same way we do. And many enjoy porn and masturbation.

      XOXO

  8. he's fabulous! For some, pornography is not a job but a vocation. Some could not have done anything else in life but work with sex. And I find this absolutely wonderful!
