INSIDE MORMONBOYZ

Well, you all know the Mormonboyz videos, but do many of you know the inside story? Really, I didn’t. I was intrigued by their production when it developed about three years ago, but only recently, I got curious and wanted to know more about them. Even though the inside stories in porn are often hazy, Mormonboyz appears to be a very special case, still very much shrouded in mystery.

Originally an avant-garde experimental project, their success became huge in very little time. A little amateurish at start, the quality of the production now matches any major porn studio's. Everything seems to have started in 2010, when two married former Mormons, with some kind of revenge to take, started the project. Their real names are not known, neither is the address of the studio or the filming locations. Unsurprisingly, they have faced serious flaming and been put under death threat from their very beginning.

The “men” actors do not appear in any other productions, and nothing is known about them, whereas the studio recruits “boy” models who have starred under different names for other producers. Bishop Angus fits all the standards of a major porn stud, muscular, hairy, and above all impressively acrobatic. He's always improving, and it's a wonder he was never contracted anywhere else. All I know is that he had a Twitter account, now no longer active, where he posed as a Mormon bishop living in Salt Lake City.

I found three articles about the Mormonboyz, and that was pretty much about it : an interview of the founder, a blog review, and a post about the first death threats. Maybe some of you guys out here will have more information than I gathered…

1°) Why Mormons Get You Hard: Interview with MormonBoyz Founder LeGrand Wolf
Jan 18, 2016 | Posted by his_excellency in Fetish, Interview


MormonBoyz founder LeGrand Wolf uses his personal experiences growing up gay and Mormon to tap into the allure of these devout dudes. I randomly met Wolf at a bar in NYC over New Years, where his stories about Mormons after dark and the creation of MormonBoys attracted a slack-jawed crowd, most likely at half mast. Since He works in mysterious ways, I figured this was a sign to go in deep with LeGrand here at Fleshbot. 


H.E: First off, why does Mormon porn turn people on?

L.W: My husband and I were missionaries once upon a time, and we invented Mormon boy porn because we are really turned on by those wholesome teenagers, dressed up in suit and tie, riding around on bicycles. They’re really hot, but what’s even hotter is the intimacy of the relationship between two missionary companions. They spend every second of the day together, trying to repress their adolescent sexual urges and be good boys. Which, of course, doesn’t usually work out very well! Before my husband and I came along, there were a few one-off porn videos about Mormon missionaries, but they missed what is sexy about the Mormon boy reality that we lived. So we go deeper into the story, following our boys through their rites of passage. That’s where it gets into daddy-son action, as more mature Mormon men teach the boys how to take it a like a man. I also think there’s a lot of mystery surrounding Mormonism. You might know a thing or two about Mormons, but most people only have the sense that it’s a creepy cult. That, and the whole polygamy thing. I think it’s the mystery that’s exciting for a lot of our fans. What exactly is going on in those top-secret temples…? The other thing that's a huge turn on is how innocent Mormon boys are. A lot of people fantasize about seeing those squeaky-clean boys defiled. And we show these young guys being used and humiliated by the older men who are their trusted leaders.Essentially, Mormon boys are really sexy 18 and 19 year olds, and we make sure they get a good hard fucking.

H.E: Can you tell us a little more about your personal relationship with Mormonism, and how it led you to create MormonBoyz?

L.W: Once upon a time, my husband and I were both good Mormon boys, born and raised in Utah. We were true believers and we even went on missions. But we both sensed that we were gay from a young age, and that’s a big problem, so neither of us told anyone. When I was in the missionary training center, I was suddenly surrounded by other adolescent boys and I wanted to fuck around with so many of them. We shared a communal shower, so every morning we’d stand naked in a circle and soap up while we chatted. By some miracle, I managed to never get a boner even though that shower was the hottest thing that had ever happened to me. When I was sent out to preach the gospel, one of my companions happened to be bisexual. Since a missionary spends all day, every day with his companion, it wasn’t long before he and I started having sex. I'm not Mormon now, but I think the porn we make at MormonBoyz can be enjoyed by anyone, whether they love Mormonism or they hate it. For those who love it, they get to see their secret, illicit fantasies come to life. For those who hate it, it’s hard to imagine anything more subversive to the faith than hardcore gay Mormon porn!

H.E: The Book of Mormon highlights an association between Mormonism and homosexuality (and hot guys). Are you playing off of a similar energy in your work?

L.W: I love The Book of Mormon musical! I think it really nails the psychological reality of being a missionary - the hot straight bromance, the innocence and idealism and cluelessness and self-importance, and the pretending that bad feelings and desires don’t exist. In real life most Mormon men seem like closeted gays, even if they’re not. They’re polite, they’re sensitive and they don’t really talk about sex. When I came out, it was a shock to most of the Mormons I knew, even though I am clearly gay. The musical taps into that pervasive gayness. The relationship between Elder Price and Elder Cunningham reads like true love. The Mormon church has put itself at the center of the national debate about gay rights, and one unintended consequence is that the concepts of Mormonism and homosexuality are now inextricably linked! You could even say they’re married in people’s minds. When you think of Mormons, you think of gays. I think that’s wonderful!

H.E: Just to clarity - Do Mormon people watch Mormon porn? Also, do you utilize Mormon models?

L.W: Not all of our models are Mormon, but some of them are. What they all share is a desire to be initiated into the secret gay priesthood called The Order. The boys have to prove their worthiness to the men of The Order by submitting to a series of rituals, many of which are based on real Mormon temple rituals, some of which are humiliating, all of which are erotic. As for who watches MormonBoyz, we do get a lot of Mormons writing in to say that our scenarios are just like the fantasies they have about missionaries and about priesthood leaders. There’s a lot of sexual repression in Mormonism, and whenever you repress something you only fan the flames. So that taboo is a powerful stimulant for lots of Mormons. But our fan base goes far beyond Mormons. Most of the people who subscribe to our site have never been Mormon – they just love our boys and want to see their filthy stories unfold.

H.E: Can you tell us a little about how Mormonism affects the scenarios in your videos?

L.W: The MormonBoyz world centers on a set of secret sexual practices peculiar to Mormonism – the temple glory hole, the priesthood stretcher, washing and anointing, and ordination by insemination. Your average Mormon doesn’t know about these rituals – they’re reserved for the hottest Mormon boys. And for our viewers, of course. I would say that Mormon boys are especially obedient, especially submissive, especially eager to please their leaders. Mormon men have a lot of power and authority over these boys, so they’re very good at giving orders and getting what they want.

H.E: After seeing your videos I don’t think there’s anything sexier than Mormon underwear. Honestly. Can you tell us a little about the history of these? Did you have to wear them, and did your first hookup involve them?

L.W: Part of what makes the Mormon underwear – the garments, as they’re called – so sexy is that they’re secret. No one who isn’t Mormon is ever supposed to see them. I remember watching Angels in America, and that moment when super-hottie Patrick Wilson stripped down to his garments both shocked me and gave me an instant boner. I did wear the garments myself, and I did have sex in them. I guess I have a Mormon underwear fetish. I love using them to wipe up cum after sex. What turns me on about the garments is how normcore they are. They’re not neon green thongs. They’re the kind of underwear you can imagine dudes were wearing in the 50s. I find that reticence really hot. One other nice feature of the one-piece is the butt flap:

H.E: I love the dynamic between your models. How do you match up talent for your shoots?

L.W: We work with a lot of guys who have never done porn before. So we do everything we can to make our set a happy place. The talent all hang out and get to know one another. When it comes to the fucking, everyone is pretty comfortable. When we’re shooting, the most important thing to us is that the boys are having real, good sex. We do everything we can to get them there. And we’ve been lucky to work with awesome guys who have great attitudes and love having sex.

H.E: What characteristics do you look for in your models?

L.W: We love boys who look like angels and fuck like änimäls. We’re always looking for handsome, young, clean-cut, innocent-looking guys who can take orders and take a pounding.

H.E: What can we look forward to in 2016 from MormonBoyz?

L.W: We just revamped our site, so if you haven’t seen it in a while, go take a look. The design is fresh, we’ve started posting two updates a week, and the boys are hotter than ever.We’ll be making a MormonBoyz pin-up calendar this year, and keep your eyes peeled for the first book from our team: a sexy Missionary Journal!

H.E: Is there anything you would like to say to your Mormon-loving fans here at Fleshbot?

L.W: The MormonBoyz team is incredibly grateful to our enthusiastic fans, who make it possible for us to do what we do! Early on in my journey as a pornographer, I came up with a simple rule for myself - If I’m turned on by the porn I’m making, then it’s working; if I’m not turned on, change it up! This is philosophy the behind every decision made at MormonBoyz. And I’m really happy that there are so many people out there who share my filthy fantasies.  


2°) Mormon-Themed Porn Is Apparently a Booming Business
by Allie Conti, The VICE Channels, 2016

Becoming a Mormon is incredibly erotic—at least that's how one porn entrepreneur remembers it. Legrand Wolf (obviously not his real name) never knew any openly gay men as a kyd, but he'd also never enrolled in sports. So when he had his first locker-room experience at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, it was revelatory.

"Getting ready for my mission, I was finally exposed to [naked dudes] and I figured it out pretty quickly," he told me. "But then I was around all these straight hot men, and I had to hide the fact that I was gay despite all this intimacy."

Wolf eventually had sex with his mission trip partner, which the Mormons suggestively enough call a "companion." After months of dropped hints and excruciating build-up, Wolf's sexy French partner finally put the moves on him and they developed a loving relationship. Although his former companion is now married with kyds, Wolf says their affair—and the sexual tension leading up to it—changed his life. At the very least, it's the inspiration for ​MormonBoyz.com, the only gay porn site that caters to some very specific religious fantasies.

While the idea of Mormon-themed porn might seem hyper-specific, it makes sense. "If you're looking for something general, there are a million ways to get it," Stephen Yagielowicz, who works at the adult industry business site XBIZ, told me. "Tube sites are monopolizing traffic, so now it's not even about the niche, it's about the microniche." The industry expert says that the ways to compete with free content are three-fold, and all problematic. Porn makers can make high-quality content (but then have to "play whack-a-mole" to keep it from being stolen and uploaded to the tubes), make their stuff more extreme (but then reckon with something "legally problematic and bad for the industry"), or do something really, really specific ("if people are into one-legged tap-dancing Bulgarian midgets and find a stock-pile of that, they're willing to pay").

That's why it's perfectly logical to have a porn site where users can pay $30 a month to watch characters like "Elder Buckley" and "Stake President Cannon" stuff magic underwear in each other's mouths.

It makes sense on another level, too, according to Wolf: Much of America thinks Mormons are kind of freaky. "Mormonism has always been seen as a place for secret sexuality," he says. "Ever since Joe Smith was secretly marrying [multiple] wives, people have thought of the Church as a sexually libertine one that was a danger to the mainstream way of life."

The church has banned polygamy since the late 19th century, and it's not as if Mormons' sex lives are weirder than anyone else's. Still, their rituals definitely have an erotic flavor. When a young Mormon gets inducted into the temple, he or she gets "anointed" while wearing a sheet with a hole in the top. The elder then washes the newbie's body, including his or her thighs and groin area. Then they put on the Temple Garment—or dowdy white underwear that devotees are required to wear at all times after the ceremony.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this ceremony is a common set on the site. And according to Wolf, people aren't exactly disappointed by the repetitiveness. He says that while business was slow for the first two years of the site's existence, it's taken off in the last two.

So much so that in July, Wolf's friend from Brigham Young University started up ​MormonGirlz.com, a syster site with the same idea. Brooke Hunter (another pseudonym) grew up in Provo in a devout fämily, so she knows all the handshakes, rituals and symbols—and she incorporates them into her videos. She says that kind of arcane info is part of the appeal for her fans. "If they're not Mormon they probably like entering this little self-contained universe with thorough storytelling," she says. "If they are Mormon, well, it's pretty authentic."

Hunter, who is a lesbian, also had an encounter with one of her mission companions, she says. A favorite trope of hers to play with is that of the "companionship inventory." That's a scheduled part of the week when partners air their gripes —like a "oh, you sing too loud in the shower when I'm trying to read my scriptures" sort of thing. But as the site grows, Hunter wants to move beyond recreating the same sex scene over and over.

"Right now it's all syster missionaries, all girls in their early 20s," she says. "I'm thinking of adding in a few classic characters, though, like Mormon MILF. I think that would be a popular one."


3°) Exclusive: MormonBoyz.com owner gets death threats from LDS members
Filed By Bil Browning | April 08, 2010 3:00 PM

Disturbing news from Paul Jackson, the owner and publisher of MormonBoyz.com. While my post "Hot Mormon Boys Masturbating" has caught some flack around the web over whether or not sexy fluff posts belong on a serious LGBT blog, that's nothing compared to what Paul has been enduring. After my post went up, MormonBoyz got quite a bit of exposure as various other LGBT blogs linked up to TBP and the porn site itself. Once the site started getting a lot of traffic, it was noticed by LDS members.

"As expected I did manage to piss off several thousand Mormons. Success! However, I got nine death threats. Success? I have to admit, while the pissed-off-bigots was to be expected, I was caught off guard by the Glen-Beck-style death threats," Jackson wrote in an e-mail interview yesterday. The threats were reported to the police, but no action has been taken yet. Examples of the LDS e-mails and death threats flooding Jackson's inbox after the jump.

Here's a couple examples of the death threats being sent to Jackson:

"Paul. I support free speech in the USA, but you are clearly sick. I imagine God would be pleased if I killed the creator of MBz." Because God loves nothing better than murder, right? Isn't that in the Ten Commandants? "Thou Shalt Not Kill Anyone But Web Designers"

"You're despicable. Take down the site unless you want to die."

Short, succinct, and sufficiently aggressive, this e-mail really sums up the death threats Jackson shared with me. The most amazing part was how many of the e-mailers started their missives with a personalized salutation. "Dear Paul," or "Paul," the majority wrote; it upped the creepiness portion dramatically. Seeing how many of them also cited their religious beliefs as a reason to kill someone was also striking.

A couple of the e-mails penned by upset Mormons:

MormonBoyz CAN'T be what you claim it to be. I can't IMAGINE any full time missionaries taking part in that while serving. Missionaries are emissaries the Lord, and representatives of the one and only true and living church. If you are still a member in good standing, you would know that! Be prepared for a memo needs to be sent out to all the missions and mission presidents warning them about your site. That's all it would take to identify the Elders on your site and have them excommunicated and sent home dishonorably. Either way, MormonBoyz is the despicable brainchyld of a faggot whose priesthood and marriage are a sham!

I am sorry, but I very much dislike the fact that your website shows that which it does. Yes, I did go to the homepage to see what everyone was upset about, and I understand their views. I got such a feeling of wrongness well up inside me that it burned my chest and took away my breath. Temple garments are sacred, you know that.

Can't you feel the love of Christ when a believer spews words like "despicable" and "faggot" at you? It reminds me of the old bumpersticker that said, "Dear Christ, Please save me from your followers."
