The Advocate recently chatted with Michael Lucas about his upcoming Tour of Israel. Here’s what he had to say!

Michael Lucas Wants to Take You to Israel

The adult superstar gives you the Promised Land.
By Steven Burns

He’s taken many a gay man to heaven with the adult films he’s produced, including Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita, Fire Island Cruising, and Men of Israel, but now Michael Lucas is entering the travel business—and wants to take you to Israel. He’s scheduled a 12-day tour of the Promised Land, including stops in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, and Eilat. So we asked Steven Burns, whose QueerClick.com covers the comings and goings of Lucas’s day job, to get the scoop on the producer’s travel-related career turn.

Michael, I’ve got to ask the obvious: Why the shift into the tourism business?
It’s not so much a shift as it is something extra I’d like to do. This idea really came to me from so many people e-mailing me that they’d love to go Israel but didn’t know how to go about it. And since my first business in Russia was running a successful tourist agency, I do know what makes a great tour. So while I am organizing the trip here, I am also working with Israel’s biggest tourist [company].

Will you be offering trips to some of the other places featured in your films? Say a tour of Fire Island?
You don’t need me to show you Fire Island. You’ll find your way very quickly on your own there. But while Israel is one of the best places for a gay holiday vacation, it’s not yet a typical tourist spot for gay men. It offers an amazing combination of history, gorgeous architecture, restaurants [with cuisine] from all over the world, beautiful beaches, a wild nightlife, natural resorts, shopping. There are so many things to do and see—all in one trip. I’m doing this because I enjoy introducing people to the country that I truly love.

Do people assume this is a porn- or sex-based trip?
It absolutely isn’t that type of trip. Once again, you don’t need me to find sex in Israel if that’s what you’re interested in. There are many gay clubs, two gay beaches, and Israeli guys are generally very friendly and curious. But no, this trip is about Israel, not about having sex.

So is the trip open only to men?
Everyone is welcome. The tour is aimed at people who are interested in exploring all of Israel. Gender, age, or body type don’t matter. People seem to be confused about this. I want to travel with a diverse crowd, and this trip is absolutely for anyone who wants to see Israel from a unique insider’s perspective.

Germany’s MACHO Magazine recently released a special issue dedicated to the cast of MEN OF ISRAEL and INSIDE ISRAEL. It features Jonathan Agassi, Naor Tal, Jay Roberts, Avi Dar, Ninrod Gonen, Baptiste Bremont, Idan Segev, Guy Ronen, Matan Shalev, Chen Shaout, Bruno Jones, Ben David, Martin Passoli, and Michael Lucas! Here’s the cover, along with more pictures from the movies!

ManNet found RUSH’s red room and lived to tell the tale. Here’s what they had to say!

*** Highly, Highly Recommended ***

Whether a secret room in New York where men can have hot, anonymous sex is real or whether it is the figment of someone’s imagination, it’s a great idea for a set-up. In “Rush,” directors Michael Lucas and mr. Pam make the trysting spot look like the hottest place in the world, not just in NYC.

Smoking-hot Avi Dar and hung stud Shane Frost are the first couple to use the privacy of the secret locale, and Shane’s big cock is raring to go from the fade-in. Avi and Shane kiss, trade sensationally hot blowjobs, and then Avi gets very familiar with Shane’s tight, pink hole, eating it out, fingering it, and finally, slam-fucking it. Avi’s taut, well-built body looks fantastic as he plows Shane from behind, his ass flexing with each thrust, and Shane moaning and smacking it at the same time. Shane jerks out a load while Avi is fucking him missionary, and while Shane’s cream drips off his navel tattoo, Avi adds his to the big pool already on Shane’s belly.

The key that men pass from one another to access the room then ends up in the hands of hot Brian Bodine, who uses it to have a great encounter with tattooed Spencer Reed. Spencer announces his intent from the jump: he wants Brian’s curvy ass. He gets it, too, but not before the two studs have sucked face and blown each other. Spencer goes for Brian’s ass with his tongue first, spitting on it, rimming it, and holding onto Brian’s bubble-butt cheeks while he tongue-fucks it. Slowly, Spencer buries his thick pole inside Brian next, and the fuck moves from doggy to missionary. Spencer’s puffy pink nipples, rock-hard abs, and pile-driving dick make this scene one to repeat. Spencer unloads in Brian’s gaping mouth to end this very hot encounter.

Sami Damo and Shay are the next pair to use the sex den, and Shay is already out and hard when Sami walks in with the key. The oral sequence includes a toe-curling 69 act, and then Sami fucks Shay hard, driving into his ass forcefully and rhythmically. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun to by fucked by this dynamo. After Shay shoots a load, Sami feeds him his cum upside down, and Shay’s bearded face is coated with the extra cream.

The key next moves into the possession of Ace Rockwood and Jesse Martin, both of whom are tightly built. Ace pops a boner just kissing Jesse and feeling up his creamy smooth asscheeks, and Jesse does his best to go down on the big monster cock, although it certainly isn’t a feat that most guys could do easily, it’s truly huge. Jesse’s taut butt is wondrously hot, and Ace obviously knows he’s got a better-than-average hole to use and please. He goes to work on it, savoring the taste, and teasing it with his fingers. The guys go back to oral for a while, but then Jesse gets on all-fours and takes Ace’s cock doggy, then missionary, and he takes it deep. Jess has what looks like cum or pre-cum on his belly as he’s being pounded by Ace, but that doesn’t stop the big stud, he just keeps on fucking Jesse’s hot hole.

The last couple to make use of the room are Johnny Angel and R.J. Alexander. Johnny and R.J. kiss, get naked, and play with each other’s holes and dicks until they move into a unique standing rimjob position. Johnny fucks R.J. fast, jackrabbit style, and R.J. approves with moans and groans. While Johnny keeps up the fast pace, R.J. matches it with strokes to his own cock, rubbing it until his load explodes. Johnny feeds R.J. his own cum, and then Johnny sweatily delivers his pop-shot as R.J. kisses him open-mouthed.

Moral of the story:

If you find a key on the sidewalks of New York, pick it up!

I’m happy to present the hardcore trailer for our filthiest Raunch fuck-fest, FUCK ME HARD! We’re going to a rougher, harder place than ever before, with 10 New York City studs pummeling and plowing each other in five white-knuckle hardcore scenes that will leave you stunned! The massively hung power tops drill deep into tight, round asses and hungry throats until the bottoms beg for mercy. FUCK ME HARD is a wild ride of dick-slapping, cum-guzzling mayhem, giving all new meaning to the phrase “I like it rough.”

Starring Rafael Alencar, Spencer Reed, Ace Rockwood, RJ Alexander, Marco Cruise, JP Powers, James Hobbes, Phillip Aubrey, Wade Warren, and Michael Lucas!

I finally get my turn with the meaty-ass Naor Tal in Auditions 32: International Auditions. First we chat about our favorite sexual attributes and gym preferences before I pin him down and feast on that championship hole. Soon Naor is sliding up and down my pole with his mouth, gagging until tears come streaming down his face! l give Naor a sloppy, dripping rimjob and plunge in deep from the back. I grab Naor’s shoulders and dominate his perfect ass. Mounting the bottom from above, I spun 180-degree to hit every spot. Naor then rode my cock with tremendous buoyancy until we had no choice but to lay down and shoot our heavy loads.

I sit down with Slovak stud Jay Roberts and French fuck-machine Jordan Fox before their scene in Auditions 32: International Auditions.

After stripping down to his underwear, smooth-bodied Jordan Fox embraces raven-haired Jay Roberts in a hot lip lock. Jay immediately grinds his face into Jordan’s body, licking and sucking every inch of his toned, hard body. The two get naked and expose their hefty uncut cocks, then exchange deep, wet blowjobs. After rimming his willing hole, Jordan mounts Jay’s tight ass, pounding him to a massive sloppy explosion of cum!
