I caught up with CharmingFuzz – the muscle-bear behind DeviantMan.com – to talk men, masculinity, and machismo.
The origin story
“I’ve always been around the porn industry…” explains CharmingFuzz, when I ask him about the background story to the DeviantMan studio. “I lived in San Francisco for six years – I dated or played with my fair share of men working in porn or escorting. It’s something I’ve always enjoyed and been comfortable being around.”
“I’m a huge fan of porn that shows real and raw sexual connections between the guys – the energy, eye contact, and reaction to their partner is a huge turn-on. That’s missing in some of the porn I come across.”
“Our guys know who they’re filming with ahead of the date we film, they’re into each other and they’re hungry for that raw connection and feedback.”
“Our fans give positive feedback constantly, but the best one I recently remember is that we’re ‘the unicorn of gay porn’ – I’ll take that compliment and run with it!”
Defining the Deviant Man
“The DeviantMan aesthetic is men who are naturally confident and masculine men…” explains CharmingFuzz, describing what makes a guy suitable for DeviantMan. “They’re comfortable in their own shoes.”
“Some of our guys are farm boys, roughnecks in the oil fields, or leather daddies. Some of them are just dads. You don’t have to have be a tattooed muscle-bear fuck-pig to be a DeviantMan, but our fans certainly like that niche!”
“Jack Dixon, Daryl Richter, Eisen Loch, Liam Griffin, and Levi Garrett all come to mind as men that represent the DeviantMan aesthetic, but all our models epitomise our brand. Our guys are naturally masculine and confident men who don’t need to tell or show everyone that they’re Alpha-type men, they just are and their presence shows that. If you have to tell me that you’re a man’s man or Daddy or Alpha or Sir, then you’re not.”
On the hunt for Deviant Men
“When I’m going through applications or talking to possible models, I don’t use a checklist but they have to stand out from the group…” explains CharmingFuzz, when I ask about his casting process. “Let’s be honest, they have to be able to sell and appeal to our fan base. Branching out can be a risky investment, but we’re willing to give something new a shot – if it doesn’t work, then it’s a lesson learned.”
“It’s actually difficult to find guys who have what we’re looking for. The good news is that we’ve got some seriously hot men on the roster that have never filmed before – those scenes are coming out soon.”
“DeviantMan is becoming well-known enough so that we’re getting direct requests to film with us. Covid-19 has slowed things down in terms of filming and production – we’re not putting anyone at risk. We’ve got a number of films in the pipeline that will come out later this year.”
The underwear of the Deviant Man
“Day-to-day, I like 2Xist low-rise briefs…” says CharmingFuzz, when our conversation inevitably turns to underwear. “My balls get sweaty, so I need some lift and separation from these thick daddy thighs.”
“When I’m at the cabin with buds, I like BearSkn Backwoods boxer-briefs. They fit my thick frame and have good thigh support.”
“At the gym, I either don’t wear underwear or I’ll wear a jockstrap if I want to bring something sweaty home for my guy.”
“When it comes to other guys, I’m an ass man, so I like them in anything that shows their ass off. Whether it’s commando or a sweaty old jockstrap, if it’s showcasing a nice furry bubble butt with quick access then I’m good to go!”
Plans for the future
“We’re working on ramping up film production in the coming months…” confirms CharmingFuzz, when I ask him what the future might hold for DeviantMan. “Filming is the priority right now – we have fans that are waiting for new material, and we’re excited to provide scenes with some hot new men.
“I’m also considering starting a line of baseball caps and apparel for our DeviantMan fans and pigs. Sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date with all of our deviant behaviour!”
