Manuel Rios was one of George Duroy’s favourite models. His very first day at the Bel Ami offices coincided with a swanky party that Elton John, who was in Bratislava for a concert performance, threw for our beautiful models. (George laughs, “I think Elton came here just to be able to throw this party!”) Manuel was also invited, even though he was very new. “This really impressed him, as you can imagine,” George recalls. “It was quite a first day for him.” Manuel came from a very small village, almost a hamlet, in Northern Slovakia, and worked as a ministrant for the local church. He was known for being the cutest boy in town. In fact, his neighbours often joked that he should move to the city and become a porn star! Manuel is bisexual, and George believes he gives the best blowjobs of any of the current Bel Ami models. “He really enjoys oral sex and can deep-throat. He is good in any kind of sexual situation,” recalls George. “He is a marvellous top, but also a very good bottom. Manuel is always very horny, with instant hard-ons all the time, but he is also sweet and very reliable and handy.” George is seriously considered filming Manuel with a girl, as he believed it will be a striking performance. “He is oblivious to the gender of his partner, he doesn’t care,” George says.
