Eastern
European guys had captured the erotic imagination of many American
men. Perhaps it was the unique facial structures and fine slim
bodies or maybe just the mystique of Eastern Europe, but somehow
Americans wanted their Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, and more.
Upon beginning his own porn career as an actor and director, Eric
realized that he was sitting on a gold mine. After all, Eric lived
in Eastern Europe as a a grad student, purchased an 8 mm camera,
like the one he had been taped on from Aaron Lawrence, and began
to recruit his guys.
Of
course, Eric had no concept of how to find guys who would want
to do porn. He only knew that if there was a horny guy out there,
he would try to find him, and with the rate of the dollar, he
could offer more to the models by paying them in foreign currency.
He
literally made contacts in Hunargian gay discos, in XXX gay video
houses, in the Turkish style baths and even on the Internet. This
was his way of recruitment. It worked! Eric managed to recruit
5 guys and even a translator for his first film.
Perhaps
the most interesting facet of his video was that 3 out of the
5 models had difficult tiimes getting it up, so Eric had no choice
but to get into the video himself with the guys. His translator
thus became a cameraman. Although the scenes were non-anal, they
did comprise a heck of a lot of oral action. The other two scenes
involved solo action. In each however, you will find the boys
explaining what they did for work, their sexual fantasies, their
first times, and much more.
Eric
later confessed that his favorite guys there were Robbi and Laci.
Both of these twinkish Europeans knew how to have a good time,
while still being a bit uncertain about the entire experience.
That is what turned Eric on at that time.
A
few years later, Eric made a deal with a distributor in New York
to place his videos in box covers and in stores across the nation.
That was his first big move to get his films known.

Here's a picture of Eric with Robbi.
