I masturbated to a lot of things last year. Here are the things to which I still am.

After 30 Years, Falcon Grows Some Ball Hair
October 12th, 2011
Mike Somewhere in the early 80s, probably around the time that John Summers waxed and shaved the boys of Style, ball hair disappeared from Falcon models. (And soon after, from just about everywhere else in the industry.) Even men that don’t shave any other part of their body, like Arpad Miklos and the Maverick Men, have [...]
My First Porn Crush: Adam Baran on Ryan Idol
September 14th, 2011
Mike When former BUTT magazine editor Adam Baran told us he was working on a film about a kid’s attempt to smuggle porno home, we immediately asked him about HIS first gay porn. Turns out Jackpot is more than a little autobiographical, because he wrote back this seconds later about porn star Ryan Idol. “This advertisement [...]
My First Porn Crush: Michael Musto on Jack Wrangler
August 30th, 2011
Mike After Michael Musto presented Smut Capital at Philadelphia’s QFest, we asked the witty Village Voice columnist and about his own smut memories for our on-going series. “My first porn star crush was Jack Wrangler,” he told us. “I can’t remember the first movie or spread I saw, but he was everywhere in the ’70s. He [...]
Another Side of Aspen: Sneak Peak at Falcon Documentary
April 15th, 2011
Shamama When Chris Ward announced that he was relaunching the Aspen gay porn series, he asked if we’d consider pulling together a short piece from our upcoming documentary about Falcon founder Chuck Holmes to commemorate it. “Aspen” was a seminal piece for Falcon — the movie which not only changed the company’s fortunes, but also helped [...]
10 Hipsters from Vintage Gay Porn
December 30th, 2010
Mike Headbands! Tube Socks! Ironic Mustaches! With the recent sale of Falcon, I’ve been looking back through their excellent back catalog and have started to feel like I’m looking at Cobrasnake photos of a pool party in a Brooklyn Dumpster. (Maybe it’s no surprise that American Apparel sells towels with gay porn stars on them.) With [...]
Holiday Gift Idea #4: Vintage Porn
December 17th, 2010
Mike What’s the best thing about vintage gay porn? Is it the lack of artifice? The lack of condoms? The sheer exuberance of the sex? The bushy bushes? The quaintness of film? Or the fact that they don’t have lines to read? Whatever it is, there are times when well-lit, digitally enhanced, MySpaced bodies don’t do [...]
Gay Porn Milk Carton: Jim Bentley and Kevin Williams
August 16th, 2010
Mike I’ve mentioned before that for the past year or so, we’ve been shooting a documentary about Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes. We’ve been slowly making our way through the living Falcon superstars to talk about what it was like to work with Chuck. Thanks to help from people like Steven Scarborough of Hot House and [...]
Porn Pioneer Wakefield Poole Plays Dirty in New Doc
March 30th, 2010
Mike I wasn’t around the first time, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love a bi-curious hippie with a lit joint. Jim Tushinski, the director of the excellent Peter Berlin documentary, That Man is still in production on Dirty Poole, about porn pioneer Wakefield Poole but it looks great and was worth showing to a bunch [...]
Gay History: When Catalina Took A Trip to Camp Crystal Lake
February 2nd, 2009
Shamama Surely you didn’t think Raging Stallion was the first one to kill off the stars of its porno? I’ll give a toothy blow job to anyone who can tell me what Catalina classic featured a masked gay madman who loves semen as much as he does tearing apart gay flesh. – Mike UPDATE: Leave it [...]
Gay Porn Reviews: Movies Time Forgot, Vol. 2
September 30th, 2008
Shamama In our second installment of “Movies Time Forgot,” intrepid reviewer Rob J. digs deep and takes a look at three rarely seen classics, including one starring GPB fave Rick Donovan (as a rockstar, no less!), a collection of Falcon loops so good they’re painful, and the one gay film ever made by one of the [...]
Considering the Male Split Beaver
June 2nd, 2008
Shamama I don’t want to harp on the subject, because (a) I don’t want y’all to think I’m some weird anus freak and (b) I have a hard time saying “split beaver”, but my friends at the Athletic Model Guild were nice enough to send over a bunch of gorgeous (and maybe just a tiny bit [...]
That 70s Show: Nuts for Nuts
July 19th, 2006
Mike Last weekend, I bought a new pair of running shorts from American Apparel. When I realized how high cut they were, I was nearly delirious — they haven’t made them this obscene since the 70s. Even as kid, I had a hankering for ball-sack drooping short shorts. I know – it’s nuts! But it’s not [...]
Vintage Gay Porn: Bareback-In-The-Day
December 1st, 2005
Mike I ran into Billy Bowers from Factory Video the other day and we started talking about Factory’s highly successful retro-tinged Time Warp To the 80s series. It’s a lot of lost (now found) footage from the mid-to-late 80s and, watching it again, it reminded me of how resilient the porn industry is. There’s been much [...]
