— The Village VoiceBut what's special about CockyBoys is how they not only transcend the genre with interesting conceptual devices, but bring the personalities of their stars to the forefront.

— Out MagazineAlthough it’s geared toward gay guys, this site trots out a smorgasbord of foxy men—so even if you don’t think you’re into dude-on-dude action, trust us and give it a shot anyway.

— IndieWireThere will probably never be another gay adult studio quite like Cocky Boys. The studio's ambitious and evocative, full-length features have helped to expand gay porn’s creative boundaries.
