I have to admit that while I don't have any real interest in gay sites (nothing against them, I'm just straight) I make it a point to read all well-written reviews and that includes the ones you write.
I have a question though - it seems like a higher proportion of gay sites have Eastern European and Russian models (or maybe just non-American) than I'm used to seeing with straight porn. I'll confess that I haven't thought this through at all and that since I don't collect a lot of EE/Russian porn that may skew my perception. But is there a relatively high proportion of EE/Russian models in the gay side of the industry?

There are an abundance of Eastern European sites and models in both straight and gay porn. The boys are mostly gay for pay (they are raised openly about nudity and only consider it gay if a man dresses as a woman. Sex with a friend is okay as it is just sex.)
Many of the older sites do a lot of recycling but there is a lot of new content coming out. I think one reason is the Russian economy is not very robust so many young men and women look to porn as an income source.
So yes, about half of the new content is Russian/Eastern European. I do think it could be more, but there are sites such as Active Duty and Helix which produce a lot of new content. Even those sites do use Eastern European/Russian models every once in awhile.
Sometimes the models from Russia are downright ugly while there are some gorgeous ones who also pop up. They don't seem to care on some sites as to who they pick for their models. It's all about money, money, money!
Edit: Thank you for the kind words about my reviews. I do try my best and also read those from straight reviewers to learn a bit about that side of porn.

Thanks for replying to my message with some interesting information. I suspect that a driving factor for a lot of EE/Russian models in porn (gay and straight) is that is it probably a factor of the economies in many of those places. But then again, the same can be said in North America. If a young person with no marketable skills other than their looks wants to make some money then porn can be an option.

...when I last left Helix (2012?) 8teenBoy was part of the membership.
Thanks for the review: I had almost signed on thinking that was still
the deal.

Some of the older videos made by 8teenboy are still available. The new site is really good but it is not listed here yet so I can't review it. Wait for a deal to join as I did.
If you join Helix at a deal, they usually offer membership with 8teenboy with a deal as well. The problem is you pay a $5 preview charge for three days before being able to download anything. My membership to 8teenboy costs only $15 a month.

There is a 40% discount on 8teenboy.com right now for Valentine's Day. Definitely worth it at that price. :)

The sale is over for now. They do have sales in the future so you can join at $15 or so. I have a discounted rate because I joined when I became a member of Helix. (I renew 8teenboy but not Helix as Helix is too expensive for what they offer.)
I also had joined Helix when it was having a special. You might want to rejoin Helix when they have one of their specials as you will be able to join 8teenboy at a discount of $14.95 a month like I did.
