VIEWPOINTS — “I couldn’t talk about anything in Russia. I was growing up in a very strict regime. But I rebelled. I wouldn’t wear a tie, and I didn’t want to salute the flag. At that time in Russia, sexual education did not exist, and there were no discussions of it. I had no idea how to masturbate. There was no sharing of information—I was isolated . . . I accidentally got off on the flow of bathwater on my dick. I came and then freaked out because I didn’t know what had happened or what the cum was. Then, obviously, I loved the feeling, so I tried it again. It took me a while to figure out I could do it without water and instead use my hand. I felt guilty every time—people don’t understand how damaging the Communist regime is.” —Michael Lucas, explaining why he’s so outspoken [Michael Musto]

I think “attention whore” is a more likely, and concise, explanation.

The problem is not that he opens his piehole and blabbers…the problem is that there are people who pay attention to him….
Cass
He keeps opening his mouth because you keep running his stories.
Adrian
wait, why don’t we like Michael Lucas? What harmful thing did he do? I feel so out of the loop? What did I miss?
Paul
Seriously, Queerty. Why are you giving this man attention? I didn’t even know who he was until you mentioned his spat with Brent Corrigan.
… and now that I know who he is, I care even less.
NOT NEWS!
walt zipprian
Who is he? Who is Brent Corrigan?
WTF?
Michael who?
Brent who?

I thought his answers were pretty funny. Of course, I’m sure Musto did some judicious editing to bring out his, um, unique voice.
Tony
The issue isn’t why he opens his mouth but why queerty bothers to cover him. I don’t understand why we need to hear about this guy so much when there are more important issues and people to discuss.
Mike
I wish he would shove a dick in his mouth and keep it there. That’s how I like my porn stars.

If all of you are so anti-lucas and hate the coverage here– then stop reading it!! and stop caring enough to post comments!! its pathetic to claim “i dont care” yet you read the press on him and get involved and comment on it. grow up and do something with your own life.
GiveItTakeit
@CHAZ I agree man -negative comments are pathetic- move on to something you care about then. or stay here and be jealous.

This man is not just a porn star: He’s an icon.

@Adrian: The boat perhaps??

@Tony: I beginning to take it as a sgin I need to get a life and maybe my other half is right, I AM coming to this site too often. I honestly am enjoying insulting this ass. Now that is sick.

Michael Lucas is an inspiration to our community. He makes me proud to be a gay man. A gay man with a strong voice.

queerty is writing an article on him bc ppl care. it generates the most comments. should they write about something no one cares about? when someone doesnt care he will not bother to take the time to comment. ppl comment either out of love or hate. and saying DO NOT over him is the expression of an emotion. so dont claim you dont care you do.
ben
I agree that we don’t need to hear about him THIS much.
Cee
I like Michael Lucas. One of the more respectable porn producers.
Marty
I wish I knew why so many get their panties in a twist about Michael Lucas — he’s a pornographer, a porn actor/model, whatever — he may be obnoxious but since when is that a cause for so much gritching? He appears to be smarter than many of the other less notorious celebrities out there, and of course he’s egotistical, look at what he does for a living! I like him, and that’s without seeing any of his movies (though perhaps it is seeing his movies that brings out such nastiness, just sayin’…)

Camera! Make sexy face! Shallow reporter? My drama! My drama! Camera! Pouty face! National news outlet? Remove shirt! Return. Begin again.

Michael Lucas is wanted by the Hungarian Police for Fraud. Lucas can add con man and thief to his ever growing list of accomplishments.

To shove a hot dog in it?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I never heard of Michael Lucas till Queerty started writing all these articles, mostly negative, about him. I became mostly intrigued because I wanted to figure out what the obsession was. I mean the guy is gay, the guy is a porn star. But it has been like reading the diary of some busy body old who writes about her observations of her next door neighbor and is just waiting for the day she can catch them at something.
Then you have Mr. Lucas and/or his friends or employees who come on here to defend themselves about the stupid and mindless sh*t that is written about them. Being that this is not exactly CNN it seems it would be a bit beneath Mr. Lucas.
So I guess the intrigue here is just a classic case of rival high school girls bitch slapping each other back and forth and we have all got caught up in the 3rd rate, immature drama of it all. I guess as gay folks we have to create our own celebrities and this is about as interesting as it gets.
Alec
@michael: I ignored it until Lucas decided to start speaking out on issues I care about (namely, Israel/Palestine, the Obama campaign, etc.). Before that he showed up on my radar after his presentations at Yale (see? He goes a bit beyond the normal circles of gay pornography gurus).
I actually appreciated his outspoken stance against barebacking and drug use, until I came across this gem: http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS237864+15-May-2008+PRN20080515
Anyway…he is what he is.
Chevy
I’ve actually come to like Lucas simply because so many queens have been ganging up on the guy. I didn’t know who he was until he showed up here and so many bitchy comments were made about him. Someone who makes so many queens so angry can’t be all bad. Gotta love an underdog.
michael
@Chevy: I hardly see Mr. Lucas as a “vicitm” though he may see himself as such.
