Once upon a time, there was a place where you could jerk off to pictures of Samuel O’Toole‘s penis, read a strangely hot comic strip about Colossus doing Wolverine up the butt, and get teased over and over again with the prospect of Cody Cummings bottoming. That place was Manhunt Daily in 2011. It was a time long before our redesign, a time long before we learned how to properly embed videos, and a time when you still thought Paul Wagner was one of the hottest men on the planet.
Taking inspiration from the spirit of #ThrowbackThursday, we’ve decided to expand our standard Staying Power compilation into a three-part series dedicated to 2014’s most popular posts that were originally published in the past three years, starting with 2011. This leaves out my strangely popular rimjob tips from 2009, along with a handful of 2010’s greatest hits like Mark Ruffalo, Rocky Labarre, Nate McGarrity, Dodger Wolf and Mike Branson… But we’d like to think this is a more focused approach to looking back on previous years.
The most surprising thing about this particular countdown is that it’s completely dominated by two of Manhunt Daily‘s most divisive sub-sections, Bi The Way and Twink Tank. Both individually scored ten slots in the top one-hundred, coming out ahead of incredibly popular features like Celebrity Skin and Cock-A-Doodle Do Me. Does this mean there’s a bigger demand for twinks and bisexual content than we think, or were both genres of porn just much stronger back in 2011? It’s impossible to say.

10. FAKE GAY PORN INCEST: SO WRONG OR SO RIGHT?:
We wrote: “Ultimate daddy Allen Silver appears alongside gay porn pup Conner Habib in Joe Gage‘s new flick Dad Goes To College. While this would normally be a surefire equation for boners everywhere, there’s one small thing we should mention—Allen is actually playing Conner’s father in the film.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
9. TWINK TANK: TRISTAN STERLING (AGAIN):
We wrote: “His smooth pink hole calls out to me, beckoning me to shove my tongue deep in and make him squirm in intense pleasure. Then, I can just imagine him turning to me and saying, ‘Fuck me, Dewitt! I can’t stand it any longer! I need your big dick inside of me.’ Obviously, I would give him what he wants… But only after eating his ass, fucking his face and making him work for it.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
8. IS GAY PORN TAKING CUES FROM ASHTON KUTCHER?:
We wrote: “For his new role on Two and A Half Men, former That ’70s Show star Ashton Kutcher has traded in his trademark clean-cut look for a beard and longer locks. Recently, gay porn star Lucas Knowles was spotted online sporting the exact same look. Coincidence? We think not!”
_______________________________________________________________________________
7. DRAWN TO YOU: JUST CARTOON DICKS:
We wrote: “Some people are into toon cock. I mean, who hasn’t imagined what their favorite cartoon character would look like naked? It may not necessarily be a sexual interest. Sometimes, you just need a good laugh, and it’s funny to think about Mister Fantastic‘s stretchy manhood or what Fred and Barney get into when their wives aren’t looking.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
We wrote: “Quite frankly, some of the artwork in Kamui Jack‘s portfolio will elicit a giant WTF reaction from all you so-called ‘normal’ folks out there. Having said that, if you’d be into the idea of Wolverine getting fucked in a jockstrap by an extraordinarily well-hung Colossus, then you’ll definitely want to click through for more of his work.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
5. TWINK TANK: JOEY HARD & THE HOUSE BANGERS:
We wrote: “If he continues at his current momentum, Joey Hard is poised to become the next big twink on the gay porn scene. You better believe it! Even though we’ve seen his name floating around within the past couple of weeks (including a scene with our fave Samuel O’Toole), it’s taken us some time to really warm up to him. Of course, now that we’ve hopped on the Joey Hard train? We don’t ever want to get off.”

4. BI THE WAY: CODY CUMMINGS TAKES IT UP THE BUTT:
We wrote: “Would it kill Cody Cummings to bend over and take a good pounding? Ever since launching his solo site, the porn hunk has consistently teased fans with his virgin butthole. Remember that time Parker London stuck a lollipop up there? Or perhaps you were more frustrated when he kissed Rod Daily, only to push his gay-for-pay status in our faces?”
_______________________________________________________________________________
3. DID CODY CUMMINGS JUST LOSE HIS ASS VIRGINITY?:
We wrote: “The press release for Cody Cummings‘ latest scene sounds like it was done by someone who writes romance novels for a living. The implication seems to be that Cody bottomed for fellow porn star Brandon Lewis… Or that they flip-fucked, but let’s be real—nobody cares about anything but Cody’s butthole.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
2. FUCK VS. FUCK: GUYS WHO FUCKED PAUL WAGNER:
We wrote: “If Colby Keller is the current nominee for ‘most adorable man who ever lived‘, then fellow gay porn star Paul Wagner deserves a nod for ‘handsomest motherfucker on this planet’. Today’s round of Fuck Vs. Fuck revolves around his ass. Namely, the men who stick their dicks in it. Also known as? The men we’re insanely jealous of.”

1. MANHUNT DAILY WOOD: BENJAMIN GODFRE:
We wrote: “There comes a point in every blogger’s life where he just has to say to himself, ‘Fuck it! I’m going to post more pictures of Benjamin Godfre‘s penis.’ The spunky male model and skateboarding enthusiast reached the top of The Ten, our weekly countdown of the sexiest men, back in August, and he stayed there until we posted a kinky shot of him tied to a tree.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
Well, you were doing fine until #1. Then the whole thing lost credibility.
I’m not really clear what you mean by this. Benjamin Godfre was one of the most popular models ever featured on this blog… Why wouldn’t he be number one on this list?
Because Godfre was a flash in the pan. Who is still talking about him in 2014, other than in articles like this? He hasn’t tried to be in the public eye anymore after Falcon paid him money to do that joke of a “porn video”. His Twitter has been dead since September and even in Queerty’s video profile of him in 2013, they say he’s become even more vapid and self-absorbed.
I get the point of this article, Dewitt, but “most popular” or not, Godfre was a joke.
GayhawkAZ should get a white stick & a guide dog!
Okay, but that doesn’t change the fact that people are still searching for him.
This entire thing is based on numbers. My interactions with Godfre were mostly pleasant, but they weren’t pleasant enough for me to rig a countdown like this in his favor.
Awww I miss Samuel O’Toole
DON’T WE ALL?!?!
Um, DeWitt? Where’d you get that he was accusing you of rigging the countdown? I don’t see that.
I’m no fan of Godfre either, but I attribute his popularity to a majority of guys who go for the shiny until something shinier comes along.
If he wants to have that opinion, so be it. Why not try to be the better man?
That seems to be the implication when the “credibility” of a standard copy & paste countdown is questioned.
I’m not even that phased by the original statement. The fact remains that, even if you don’t like Godfre, he’s still bringing in traffic.
