Movieof the Year XBIZ 2015 Director
of the Year XBIZ 2015
CockyBoys’ new project is a complete change of pace from their last (The Haunting), their current (RoadStrip), and undoubtedly their next.
Colby Keller, Dale Cooper, JD Phoenix, and Gabriel Clark star, while real life partners Jake Jaxson and RJ Sebastian co-directed/produced. It’s one thing to drop a bunch of hot guys onto a beach and yell “action,” but this, obviously, is something else entirely.
This poetic masterpiece is undeniably different than anything you've seen at CockyBoys in the past. It's the first of many collaborations between director Jake Jaxson and R.J. Sebastian—his life partner of 15 years—and quite possibly the greatest, most inspired "love letter" ever written.
— Bradford Matthews [Fleshbot.com]This is really beautiful stuff.... One of the BEST DIRECTORS WORKING right now and I can’t get enough.
— GayDailyHot.comGoing by his past efforts and this... it seems certain that Jake Jaxson has another STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT on his hands.

Description: Director's Note: I'm excited to premiere the preview of our new project "A Thing of Beauty." As many of you know, we sent Gabriel Clark to a remote paradise in the dead of winter. He invited Colby Keller, Dale Cooper, and JD Phoenix -- but there will be plenty of time for me to discuss the details of the project when it's released. For now, I'd like to share a personal note about this project because it is so special to me. This is the first of many creative collaborations with my life partner of 15 years, R. J. Sebastian. Many of you know that we work together, and it is RJ's beautiful work as the Director of Photography that brings such tenderness to all of my films. Without him, "The Haunting" and "RoadStrip" would still be thoughts on a page. Truthfully, my entire [more....]

A Thing of Beauty: A Life Worth Living
Watch Trailer Become a MemberFeaturing: Gabriel Clark & JD Phoenix
Description: Director's Note: Growing up in southern Louisiana was a blessing and a curse. While I had to hide and bury the core of my being -- my sexuality -- I did however live in a place that celebrated life and living! We lived to eat, drink, and be merry. My early childhood was not extraordinary, but looking back, it was blessed. Summers were spent outside, climbing trees, making forts out of refrigerator boxes, and setting booby traps for my imagined prey. I lived without a care in the world... until the day I discovered I was falling helplessly in love with my sister's boyfriend. I vividly remember the day I first "felt it" -- he was just coming out of the swimming pool when he flipped back his heavy mane of jet-black hair like only really cool boys could. I watched every drop of water [more....]

A Thing of Beauty: The Gift
Watch Trailer Become a MemberFeaturing: Colby Keller, Gabriel Clark & JD Phoenix
Description: Director's Note: When I first introduced A Thing of Beauty, I stated, "It's my hope that these short films are a candle in the dark for anyone who doubts that the love between two men is anything but a thing of beauty." But as the project progressed and took on a life of its own, it connected me with the idea of "life" and the things that make it beautiful. For years, I had compartmentalized many parts of my "life"-- work, family, being gay, sex, and the list goes on. Often, I'd find myself exhausted from just the management and reconciliation of all my states of mind-- being something or acting some way I thought was expected of me. I finally realized I was just another hamster on the hamster wheel of life. ENOUGH! Every day, I work hard to free myself from a way of being that [more....]

A Thing of Beauty: Free To Be Me
Watch Trailer Become a MemberFeaturing: Colby Keller, Dale Cooper & Gabriel Clark
Description: Director's Note: A Thing of Beauty: Free To Be Me For the final installment of A Thing of Beauty, I chose a poem that has meaning to me beyond just the written and spoken word. In 1848, at age 29, Walt Whitman visited New Orleans. There he met a man, and the two briefly became lovers. When Walt looked back on his New Orleans dalliance, he penned a poem titled "Once I Pass'd Through A Populous City," and it was branded "obscene" when published. However, even the published poem hid its true meaning. In 1925, the original hand-written manuscript of the poem was discovered. It clearly showed that Whitman had changed the gender pronouns before the poem was published. Here is the original version -- a delightful poem -- capturing a moment of queer love from 160 years ago: ONCE [more....]

Workout Fan on 01/22/2016 These series of videos are what kept me interested in Cockyboys. And once I saw them all, and a handful of others I knew Cockyboys was had the best videos, directing, quality, material .....and vibe. Glad I subscribed!! TBB on 07/25/2022 There is a scene missing—between Colby and Dale—which happens to be one of the hottest porn scenes I’ve ever watched. Where is it? It’s nowhere to be found on the site. It’s on CockyBoy’s pornhub: https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph58b7ce40acc88
