Vintage porn enthusiast Dennis Bell purchased Athletic Model Guild’s massive library of film reels and early gay erotic almost 10 years ago and has been working diligently since to properly archive a criminally neglected, enthralling piece of gay/porn history. Starting as far back as in 1945, AMG founder Bob Mizer photographed the male form under [...]

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 Vintage Porno ‘Score’: Now with More Men!
October 18th, 2010
Mike While Al Parker was never able to get his foreskin back, I’m glad to report that some things from the 70s can be fully restored to their original gay glory. Radley Metzger’s sexploitation classic Score is being re-released in HD, with formerly deleted man-man sex scenes that were chopped from the original. (The movie, which [...]
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 [...]

Vintage Gay Porn Stars: Kurt Marshall
June 27th, 2010
Mike There are a few porn stars that have staying power decades later — Dick Fisk, Jon King, Chad Douglas, Joey Stefano, and Al Parker to name a few. For the past year or so, Jack and I (along with Raging Stallion director Ben Leon) have been in production on a documentary about the early history [...]
Porno Theater? ‘L.A. Tool and Die’ Heads to the Stage
May 14th, 2010
Mike Is there such a thing as a butch theater queen? Sure, Jeff Stryker does a stage show every once and awhile, but director Sean Abley is upping the ante with “L.A. Tool and Die Live: A Pre-condom Comedy” a production of Joe Gage’s masterpiece of masculinity. The original, which features gruff daddy Richard Locke along [...]
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 VINTAGE PORN: JOEY STEFANO IN PLUNGE
October 8th, 2009
Mike Joey Stefano. Once, the hottest star in gay porn. And one of my most enduring crushes. We’ve been researching the history of Falcon Studios (now Falcon Entertainment) for a documentary on founder Chuck Holmes, and I have become fairly obsessed with the Falcon movies that I grew up with, before the internet. In college in [...]
VINTAGE GAY STARS: CUMLICIOUS JON KING
August 12th, 2009
Mike It’s a shame that in a blink of an eye I can pull up about three thousand photos of yesterday’s young guy, but if I want a dirty photo of a gorgeous Jon King, I’m limited to a small handful. The creationists would have you believe the world has only been around for 5,000 years; the [...]
