C1R is Channel 1 Releasing, better known as Chi Chi LaRue's company that is slowly buying up the California gay porn industry. It features virtually the entire library of All Worlds Video, the second biggest gay porn company in the world. It has Dirk Yates Live, the biggest producer of military porn in the business. And it has Live and Raw, Chi Chi's live sex show business. If ever there was a megasite this is it.

Lab Ratt's review f

August 9, 2009

Caricature of Lab RattThis website does a lot of banking on name recognition. Most every gay man has heard of Channel 1 Releasing, and most likely seen some of their work. That's what the site is hoping will lure you in. They offer tons of archived cam shows, and free DVD's to watch each week. What they don't tell you is that the quality of these "membership benefits" is pure crap. The fact that it has won a GAYVN award for best site makes me seriously question how much that award really means. Read full review

NewsBoy's review d-plus

August 1, 2009

Caricature of NewsBoyThis is the home of Chi Chi LaRue and Dirk Yates, and the homepage boasts of winning a best website award this year. So you'd expect it to be good. And on one level, it is. There's masses and masses of content; it would take you years to see it all. But at the same time, it's a thoroughly frustrating experience -- to such an extent that you have to ask whether it's worth the money. Read full review

Jerkoff Genius's review c-minus

July 28, 2009

Caricature of Jerkoff GeniusMany will have at least heard of the drag queen film director ChiChi Larue and her live shows called "Live and Raw" broadcast at Channel1Releasing.com, also known succinctly as C1R.com. I think I was introduced to C1R as a feeder on another site years ago. C1R has been pumping out the live shows since 2000, and has also acquired the contents of DirkYatesLive.com (of San Diego military fame) which is now defunct as a site. Read full review

Comments

There's more porn here than most people could watch in a lifetime. Live and Raw has four live shows every week as well as 4,500 archived shows available. Dirk Yates Live has thousands of hours of straight (well, "straight") military guys jacking off, sucking, and fucking. That includes the famous Dirk Yates Private Collection series. And Channel 1 Releasing offers over one million (yes, that's million) photos from Chi Chi LaRue's Rascal Video, Dirk Yates, All Worlds Video, and Catalina.

If that isn't enough, you can keep up to date on what's happening in the world of Chi Chi LaRue and Channel 1 Releasing on her video blog.

Oddly, the American Express logo is displayed when buying minutes for their pay-per-view system, but is not displayed when signing up for their membership area. We are unsure whether American Express is accepted for both, just one option, or neither.
