A notorious local gay porn studio is set to release a gangbang porn flick with a woman and a trans woman in starring roles, but the gang’s not all on board. Treasure Island Media, a studio so raunchy they’ve been banned from the Folsom Street Fair, crosses the gay porn gender taboo in their upcoming release F*** Holes 3, which comes out August 5th. Depending on who you ask, this is either a breakthrough for a silent, underrepresented porn-consuming demographic or a slap in the face to everyone who’s marched since Stonewall.

You will either vomit at them or furiously masturbate to them.)
Treasure Island Media’s new film F*** Holes 3 is a continuation of its popular Fuck Holes franchise. (Don’t watch them out of order!) These are standard gay porn bareback gangbang videos — except that Fuck Holes 3 features SF Weekly’s Whore Next Door and cis-female Siouxsie Q James and trans woman Sami Price on the business end of bareback gangbangs. Most of the film is all-male, but two scenes feature models who identify as women.
This was not well-received at gay porn blog The Sword. “Would this be boundary-pushing? Or is this just flat-out, gag-me gross for the majority of Treasure Island’s fan base?,” The Sword asks. Says one Sword commenter, “Gay porn industry has no gay pride. Painfully desperate.”
SFist reached out to the film’s director Max Sohl. “I have never had a movie this discussed based on the trailer alone,” Sohl told SFist. “Some of the comments are surprising given that they haven’t seen what they are commenting on and really are judging based solely on the ‘idea’ of the casting.”
Siouxsie Q James says she’s also received some bareback blowback for doing this scene. ”Random people ask me on Twitter if I have AIDS, which goes to show how deeply homophobic porn and its consumers can be,” she told SFist. “A lot of people are mad that I’m in this movie, and as a queer person I get how frustrating it is when your space gets dominated and taken over by straight people, like the Lexington Club just recently. I am certainly not trying to do that.”
“I was so honored that this historically gay director wanted to cast me in this genre-busting film,” she continued. “Yes, there are women in this film, it is still shot by a gay director for a gay production company. The focus is on the dudes.”
The criticism comes not just from the gay blogs and Twitter, but also from within the adult industry. Some performers were told they’d be blacklisted if they did this film
“Apparently there is a big anti-crossover mentality in straight porn,” Sohl said, “They don’t want their models to ‘crossover’ into gay porn and even though it was a 100% straight scene. My background and Treasure Island was all they needed to hear. One straight male porn star was told by another straight porn company if he did the scene they wouldn’t hire him again.”
Despite the outcry on social media and within the industry, Sohl seems to enjoy the attention and asserts the response has been mostly positive. “Fuck Holes 3 will not be for everyone — not everything we do is,” he said. “Anyone who is that disturbed by the sight of a pussy can skip it. But if they check it out they might find the enjoy the sight of some super hot straight men breeding.”
It should be noted that Treasure Island Media has especially enjoyed courting controversy in recent years. And while they’ve always specialized in non-condom, raunchy gay porn, they broke new ground in the HIV-in-porn debate last year with their movie Viral Loads, which depicted a male porn model getting gangbanged and having a jar labeled “Poz Cum” injected into his anus with a syringe. Salon picked up the story of HIV becoming “a turn-on,” and interviewed the openly HIV-positive model in question, Blue Bailey, who said at the time, ” To me, it doesn’t seem like a controversy at all.”
Fuck Holes 3 will be available August 5 on Treasure Island Media. The film also stars Flynn Evans, Kyle Ferris, Eli Lewis, Rob Yaeger and Rocco Steele in addition to the aforementioned lady parts-having performers.
I find the outright sexism and transphobia in many of the comments here nauseating. How hypocritical. I’m a queer trans man (that’s female to male, if you can’t figure it out) and I love TIM’s material. Been a fan for years. So, yes – there are TIM fans who enjoy trans porn, including trans people who happen to be TIM fans! What a surprise!
I know that a lot of you outspoken haters must actually enjoy this stuff because I just tried to buy this DVD and guess what? It’s sold out! Again – hypocrisy. Some of you need to take a good, hard look in the mirror. Some of you are just like the homophobic and transphobic str8 boys who are secretly on the DL with other guys and also fucking or wanting to fuck trans women.
Anyway, I love it. I love seeing the segregation between the different sexual communities open up more and the ghetto mentality start to fade away. Keep it up, TIM! Keep breaking barriers and moving the conversation forward! Hopefully you’ll do a scene with a trans man soon! xx
Never Thought I would want to eat pussy, but after seeing her take all that cum I want to eat her cunt and ass. Would like to meet Siouxie some tine
Looks like they don’t give a shit, what their loyal fans thinks. They have just released another DVD with even more straight sex in it: http://store.treasureislandmedia.com/JASPER-MOVIE-1.html.
Is there any real gay studio these days, serving only gay sex?
TIM, please stop moving in this direction. Next thing TIM will be doing is video series with names like: “My girlfriend caught me with a man!” or “I fucked my mom’s boyfriend!” or “Blindfolded straight dudes get a blowjob from guys (while their wives watch)!”. This is the gimmicky quagmire formerly “gay male” sites like NextDoorBuddies and Men.com currently find themselves in. Men.com doesn’t seem to put out a video anymore that doesn’t feature female actresses. It’s so frustrating to me as an ALL-MALE porn fan. I don’t want to see female actresses playing wives and mothers; I don’t want to hear women talking and giggling behind the camera; I don’t want to watch all-male videos from studios using female directors, or having women on-set for shoots! It just isn’t the same and it kills my boner…and isn’t keeping your GAY MALE audience HARD the whole point? Or not?
TIMs tranny scene was hot hot hot and replication will be rewarded by more purchases…Sami selection is hot and her pussy is gay and her clit/cock with its load of sperm is as valid as a sperm load from Jesse o’toole into one of his mares hungry mancunts …I for one will happily purchase more bareback cock into shemale cunt as TI is willing to produce and sell…the more the merrier the hotter the better the more sperm all the better
Guys, I’m a big fan, but this… is just terrible. I come every now and then to jerk off. Not to watch a straight porn. For everyone who’s saying that it’s interesting to watch 1 straight scene – No, it isn’t. If I wanted to watch straight porn I’d watch straight porn.
TIM – Stop it. I don’t want to loose you. You started with feminime boys, now you have a straight scene. Just stop it and please, do what you do best – gay dudes.
Came to this site horny. And now I’m not.
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! From now on, I will boycott the TIM. I will not buy anything from you. And when I want to see something of you, I will make illegal downloading and I will spread your movies illegally so nobody has to buy anything from you.
FACT: 5 YEARS ago, TIM would have NEVER put a woman, much less a tranny in one of its studio’s films. Being a TIM fan is like being an abusive relationship. They put out a hot film, then they turn around and make some bullshit just to stir up controversy. Im sick of that shit.Yes there are many guys who watch trans-porn, but these aren’t TIM fans. And are you trying to get straight guys to watch your films now? NOT GONNA HAPPEN. NO REAL straight guy is gonna buy a gay bareback dvd, for ONE straight scene. If Max wanted to direct a straight scene, that’s fine. But go to one of the 80 billion straight porn studios and film one! I miss the old TIM that only cared about getting gay guys off. I guess soon they they will SHOCK us with an all straight film.
The Review of “J.” It is extremely homophobic and bifóbico. It must be one of the owners of these internet blogs that preach the “conversion of gays to heterosexual.” He is one of those bisexual men who insist that they are “gay” and are feeding this fantasy of seeing gays turning ex-gays. It has a few blogs like “tumblr”, of mental patients with these homophobic ideas. Notice that he quoted only gay models as Rocco Steele and Antonio Biaggi, suggesting that they should do a scene with women. Will treat your sick head. TIM is a company to do gay porn and not to feed their sick fantasies, homophobic and bifóbicas. Back to the little world of your blog.
A new genre in gay (bi) porn or just another marketing strategy by TIM? Is TIM losing it’s popularity and trying a new way to snag customers? “controversial, shocking, every one is talking about it, good or bad? you decide!” BLAH-BLAH-BLAH. All the hysterical, curious homos will buy the dvd & TIM will make a lot of $$ off it. Like it or not as much as TIM professes to be “all about porn” it’s really all about making the big bucks. In an industry like porn there has to be a way to keep attracting more customers. If sales are lagging figure out a way to get the attention of the jaded customers who are looking for something hotter,freakier. I don’t like females sexually but im not disappointed in TIM’s direction. They just want to make more $$, and I understand that. But I sure as FUCK will not be watching or buying that particular dvd.
I don’t see what the controversy is all about, it’s good to have some variety in porn like this, after all these days sexuality is fluid, there are some straight men who from time to time want to experience what it’s like taking it up there and there are some gay guys who would like to see what it’s like with a female, but for me who’s a bottom, I consider myself feminine in the way that I prefer a man to do me, so I don’t see what the problem is.
The problem is that these days those that are running the so called mainstream porn that a lot of gay porn companies these days have become too mainstream, oppose to what they use to be many years ago.
I’ve been waiting this moment forever. I consider myself gay but I have an appeal for pussy I actually cannot explain (I’ve never been with one though). I don’t like tranny porn but I liked the straight scene. Quite a bit. I absolutely loved the 50 and 65 guy creampie videos. What I didn’t like from the scene is that at the end all is about anal. Maybe it’s my personal view (I know it is) but I like pussy porn and all the guys in the scene were so hot and I’d have liked them to plow the girl in the pussy and really breed her up the cunt. That’s what breeding is all about, right? I hope the haters don’t stop Max Sohl from doing another straight only-pussy-breeding scene, specially if he can make some of his stars, like Rocco Steele, Dan Fisk, Brad McGuire, Antonio Biaggi or Dayton O’Connor, straight4pay for one scene. That, guys, would be SO fucking hot. And if you want cunt but don’t want the girl, consider pairing all these stars with a hot ripped FTM guy, they’re hot and have the best of both worlds!
Sohl says a hole is just a hole and shows pix side by side of holes being plowed and it is hard to tell the difference. But I don’t watch porn for the hole close ups. I watch the guys and their trusts. I watch for the facial expressions. So pussy and tits are not visually appealing, Nor are the sounds of a woman in gay porn.
If a hole is hole, have the straight guys fuck each other with authentic pleasure. (They may not end up straight).
If TIM generates extra business from this release, I think it will be from the trans porn fans who are newcomers or the bisexuals who don’t usually buy. Doubt many straight porn fans will come to shop, in the meantime, the gold star gays like me, who are being labeled discriminatory, miss getting to see Ryan Cummings gangbanged.
