For a brief moment last week, it seemed like Russian model Kirill Dowidoff was on track to dethrone Tayte Hanson as the “Sexiest Man of The Moment“. Then, fans of the Cocky Boys exclusive model banded together on Twitter and other social media to secure him yet another victory on The Ten. This leaves us wondering what would happen if we never retired contestants from the countdown. Would Tayte remain at number one until the end of time? It’s quite possible that would be the case!
Our top five remains virtually the same with Shawn Wolfe, Ryan Ball and Connor Maguire joining Tayte and Kirill, albeit in a different order. They completely shut out hopeful contenders Kayden Gray, Jake Orion, David Corey, Lawson Kane and Logan Vaughn, each of whom only managed to rake in three to eight percent of your votes.
Hopefully, today’s newcomers Bennett Anthony, Kevin Carnell, Mike Gaite, Adrian and Jean Franko will have better luck in breaking down this fierce quintet of sex appeal. The charts could use a little fresh energy to shake things up! Perhaps their fans will campaign to get them on top? You never know.
For those of you who are just joining us, here’s how the game works! Each week, we’ll feature ten men to choose from. You can vote for as many contestants as you’d like, and only the five with the highest amount of votes will move on to the next round. The remaining five slots will be filled the following week by men who you’ve suggested, as well as a handful of attractive fellows selected by your favorite bloggers. (That would be us.)
To keep things interesting, each participant will be retired after ten weeks on the charts. They have the opportunity of returning in the future, provided that they produce another hot video, photo shoot or anything worthy of a Manhunt Daily post.
Now let’s forget about the rules for a second and focus on what really matters–who should be on top next week? You have until next Wednesday to pick your favorite contestants, so hop to it and make your vote count!
– Dewitt

Dewitt, you do a terrific job with this blog and I enjoy the Ten as a continuing feature. It would be interesting to take all those who have commanded the top spot for weeks and weeks and place them against each other. An All Star Competition, if you will. Then we can see who will hold on and who won’t.
Tayte will certainly win again with that photo. He’s just obscenely, deliciously hot.
Great idea!
Umm, I like Jean Franko from the nose down. And that is a pretty and nicely shadowed ab photo of Tayte. I know all pics are photoshopped. They did a great job with this one. Just complementing whoever did it.
Tayte needs to go…
beyond a joke at this stage…i knew as i voted that when the results came up kevin carnell would be last…ok, so let all the ‘reasons’ for the bias against black guys start,ive seen them before and they will be as pathetic as usual
I admire Bennet Anthony’s low hangers.
Dewitt, you’ve made this so difficult, I can’t even vote this week.
Tayte just has this amazing sexual and sensual look. The others are sexy but not the same thing. He’s the one to beat!
Col my man why even bother to bring it up it like beating a dead horse every time a BLACK MAN has been on the ten the outcome has always been the same it’s so predictable that why even bother to put a man of COLOR on the TEN !!!
thats so sad but true…i wonder if there was a situation in the ‘straight’ world when the gay guy never got any support and always came last would these guys say ‘well,thats just how it is’ or would they rightly wonder if homophobia was playing a role..because plenty of people amazingly do not see that racism may be a factor in this issue
maybe you guys are right, but maybe this particular black man is not all that attractive. covered with tats and all. I’m just saying, why does it have to be about color? hello? give it a rest already.
it has to be about color because its not just about this man, it is an obvious trend with every black man that appears on the list..and i know some guys arent crazy about tats but i dont think thats the issue here
Love Mike Gaite’s big ears. To me its little “imperfections” like that that make a guy truly hot. Guys like ryan ball and tayte, though stunning, are just a little too perfect for my tastes.
Did you vote yesterday for the more important vote? Was that easier or harder than voting in this Top 10?!
My vote was easy. The outcome was incredibly difficult to stomach, and tonight is even worse as the side that WON has been violently rioting in the centre of Glasgow. Nazi salutes, flag burning, physical attacks on people who were gathered there in solidarity. Apparently there were multiple stabbings too and at least one person is dead, but the media are covering it as little as they possibly can. It’s a terrible night to live here.
Been watching the news, but knew none of this. Typical politics, though, hearing the one leader stating that the Scottish people’s will has won out. It was nowhere near a landslide. Found out this year that I am part Scottish as well – my grandfather grew up without his mother and never knew she was half Scottish. DNA testing for me proved it.
Added a message on your site The otherwise day.
Voting Tayte Hanson because UNF, and Kevin Carnell because those tats on that bod – dayum!
NOTHING infuriates me more than the assumption that “racism” is our immediate go-to for everthing we thinks i wrong. It’s like we’re going around life thinking “Oh shit, I missed my bus, the driver must be racist” or “oh fuck, I stubbed my toe on a piece of furniture, that chair must be racist”. Why does it have to be about colour? Because it IS. I’ve never understood why it was that a community that’s so eager to be accepted and embraced as it is was so quick to erect walls and categories within, and black is one of them. And I’ve been out for almost 30 years now, I’ve been an HIV/AIDS funding militant and an Equality for about as long (back in the day when pride was not about celebrating our advances, but bringing to light the injustice towards our communities) and I have to tell you that it’s ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT COLOUR. Being black AND gay is like double jeopardy. and you can bet your ass that when wronged, it’s more often about the black than it is about the gay. And when we’re fetishised – like one does leather, or foreskin, or whatever – and it doesn’t matter who we are and what we’re about, as long as we fall into this neatly crafted fantasy of tight ebony skin and gigantic dick – yep, that TOO is about colour. So YOU give it a fucking rest already! Because that particular man, as you so put it (and failed to qualify as perhaps not all that attractive TO YOU) with his beautiful facial feature, musculature and (yep!) his tattoos (which quite frankly are ART compared to some of the shop-class-back-cover-doodling crap we’ve seen on some of the most popular porn stars of late) would be smoking the competition if his skin was a paler shade of pink.
Sorry Manhunt for turning this comment into a rant.
By all means, please rant! You don’t need to apologize to us, me or anyone for having these feelings.
If anything, people who try to tell you they’re not valid or say you need to “give it a rest” should be apologizing to YOU.
They have not experienced what you experience(d), and most likely, they are speaking from a place of privilege.
Sexual racism within the LGBT community is, truly, such bullshit. The justifications people come up with drive me insane.
yes, i am so priveleged. i am over 40, and i live in the basement of my dads house, i drive a 10 year old car. i cannot get a promotion at work, because they always give it to the minority, i cannot get a better job without college, i cannot afford college, but i do not qualify for assistance. i apply for dream jobs off the state job boards, but they always give preference to veterans. don’t get me wrong, i totally think veterans should get preference. but no one else. with all that said, i have to say, i go out of my way, to treat anyone i meet the same, regardless of race, or gender, because i was raised to love my neighbor, and when i am told that i like the looks of one guy over another because of skin color, drives me insane. good grief! it’s a beauty contest. it has nothing to do with the person inside. one of my favorite playmates, is a black man with tattoos. he is sweet and kind, and makes me feel special. and by the way, anyone who tells me i am a racist, is indeed, not valid, and should give it a rest. why is what i say, less important than what they say anyway?
So, Spokanevalleythick,
A couple of things: I don’t think we’re on the same page when it comes to the definition of “coming from privilege” in the context of race relations in America. It means NOT being born to a community where abject poverty – and the myriad subsets of crap that comes with that – is endemic and hereditary. It means NOT belonging to a group where “the talk” you’re given as a teenage boy includes not only sex, drugs, STD and pregnancies, but also educate you on the presumption of guilt that will placed on you whenever anything happens in your immediate surrounding.
Please don’t get me wrong. Nowhere am I saying that black automatically means underprivileged, but lets just say that in America, the darker your skin, the further back your block is placed from the starting line, and the more hurdles placed on the course along the way. As a white man, you start that race just behind your straight counterparts, but ahead of white women, then while lesbians, Asians, Latinos and Blacks.
And frankly, if we take the word privilege outside the context of race relations in America – and I say this without even the slightest intent of judgement – while not ideal situations, perhaps, from you litany of unprivilege, I read: family that cares, roof over your head, vehicle, job – even without you a college education – and attractive enough to have more than just one playmate. OK, so perhaps not the image we’ve been sold of the American Dream…
I don’t know where you live, but pretty much anywhere in America, that’s still not as bad as it possibly could be. Go visit homeless shelters and soup kitchens and you’ll find there people (of absolutely every colours and backgrounds) who (not all, granted) have to rely on this type of community support not because they didn’t work hard and try harder, but because circumstances and just bad luck (like the bad luck of being born to really bad parents, or in a war-torn country, say) have placed them there.
About your jobs going to minorities just because they’re minorities, many modern social thinkers seem to be of the opinion (for the past 10 decades) that the presence of minorities in leadership positions has less to do with race relations policy and more about immigration policy and the refocus to highly qualified an educated new arrivals. Your colour won’t get you a green card, your post-grad education in competitive fields will. Outside of that, it’s well documented as myth that immigrants steal jobs, they get the ones that non-immigrants don’t want. Unless of course, the dream job you speak of is cleaning hotel rooms, doing lawns, being a personal nanny, or working sanitation. And there are great studies out there that make a correlation between work ethic and race – a quick search within the archives of the Journal of Applied Psychology will give you plenty of reading material on the matter. On promotions – in a nutshell (overall without generalizing) – minorities see them as things to “get” where their Caucasian counterparts regard them as something to loose. In other words, the latter group sees them as the evident and natural consequence of satisfactory work; the former sees them as the reward for sustained exception and the consistent above-and-beyond excellence of their work.
Perhaps, in anger and exasperation, I didn’t articulate my thoughts clearly and you understood that I was calling you a racist in my post. If that’s the case, I apologize. It’s never my intention to put someone on blast based on unfounded and unverifiable assumptions. What all of us were commenting on is that colour bias in the LGBTQ community exists, and that this reality is reflected here on The TEN not just sometimes, but every single time. My objection was not to your not finding this man attractive. It was by your statement that he was unattractive. My anger did not come from your – in this case – not seeing racial bias, but rather from your wanting to dismiss us for having a conversation about its existence and manifestation here.
And finally (again, sorry for dragging on here) but in 45 years, I’ve heard every permutation of the “I’m not racist…” line (including “I’m not racist, I’ve got a colour TV”), and providing as evidence of your non-racism (and I’m, again, not doubting it here) the fact that you fuck-around with a black guy on occasion (is that what you meant by “play mate”?), especially given how porn, erotica and modern myth has fetishized us, doesn’t mean as much as you think it might.
Have a great Sunday,
TC.
Two gingers and not one in the top 5…sad day… 😉
All of these guys are hot as hell. What sets Tayte apart is his genuine personality and kindness. Via his social media you you get to know the person…not the persona.
