"Very few of the world's industries are consistently as colorful and exciting as the porn industry," writes Cybersocket’s Danny Valle.
"Despite our tendency to dwell on the industry's more lurid aspects, the majority of what goes down is quite professional. Even so, no other industry manages to address so many of our deepest and most personal fantasies."
The list of 50 is "by no means complete or impartial," he notes. "But it does showcase this year's cast of stars, movers and shakers who have caught our eyes and who stand poised to leave their own distinctive marks on the industry."
In order, their Top 10 are: Johnny Hazzard, Reese Rideout, Jeremy Bilding, Dolph Lambert, Ty Colt, Michael Lucas, Malachi Mark, Derrek Diamond, Dionisio Heiderscheid (a.k.a. "D.O.") and Steve Cruz.
The performers coming rounding out the Top 20 are Brent Corrigan, Blake Riley, Logan McCree, Mason Wyler, Tyler Saint, Turk Melrose, Ricky Sinz, Leo Giamani, Jackson Wild and RJ Danvers.
Cruz, Danvers, D.O., Hazzard, Riley, Saint and Sinz were also 2009 XBIZ Awards nominees. Jackson Wild won the XBIZ Award as GLBT Performer of the Year.
