for me, it wasn't any porn model. going way back, before i ever connected the feeling with sex, i was attracted to certain guys with who i went to school and played on teams. also certain celebrities and sports figures. like cdnjguy i can remember just liking the way chris o'donnell looked. i can also recall watching the olympics and being totally enthralled by the gymnasts, especially the blond, russian ones, and swimmers. and yes, there was marky-mark and all those other bruce weber calvin klein ads.
it wasn't until i was around eleven, when i started going through puberty, that i started to make the connection between my appreciation of a guy's looks and my curiosity about the thing between his legs. i can recall starting to have thoughts like 'he has nice blue eyes' and i'd notice take when a guy i liked got a hair cut. i can remember when one friend on who i was totally crushing got a crew-cut -- i got one too.
in the locker room, i'd see us all progress through the various tanner stages. when i was in sixth grade, i can recall being envious of this classmate who already had a thick bush and a large cock.
i can remember walking past news kiosks and being more drawn to the playgirls and gay porn than to the straight stuff. i was thinking about hairy cocks the first time i stroked myself to the point where the white stuff came out. of course that quickly became a daily ritual, and i was usually thinking about dicks, what it would be like to touch one, suck on one; what it would feel like to have a guy put his in my ass, or put mine in another guy's ass. i also thought about girls like that, but to no where near the same extent.
it was maybe a year or so after that -- it was the spring of 8th grade -- when i had that first flash of (horrible) insight that i might be gay. i became circumspect to an almost pathological extent. for a time i tried to avoid guys who i found attractive, hoping it would go away. i would look at 'flamers', guys in the drama club, etc, and think 'i can't be like them!' (ironically, a few of them turned out to be straight). the locker room became a chamber of horrors -- what if some guy should catch me checking him out? a lot of times wouldn't shower and go straight home. i always kept my eyes to the ground, but would invariably peek. over the next year i chilled a bit and came to accept myself, only i kept it to myself. i even had a girlfriend, but i knew that wasn't where my heart was at.
it's funny: i see pictures of 70s icons like jim palmer and "the marboro man". for the most part, guys like that do nothing for me. i often wonder if i'd have been queer if i'd come of age when hairy, mustachioed 'macho men' were considered the paradigm of masculine good-looks.
i think my first real porn crush was bel-ami model mikal janos. he never performed, only posed. he was in a Freshmen spread back in '94, i think.

I'm also going to put in a shout-out to Chris Atkins!I think he is a really pivotal pop culture figure for many gay men of my generation.For me it was primarily the Playgirl layout.Jacked off to his ass more times then I care to admit!At a very formative time in my life.What with Blue Lagoon,that snake poster,countless shirtless photos in the teen mags(yeah I bought 'em!)-A Night in Heaven(where he played an often nekkid stripper),Dallas with all those speedo scenes, and Playgirl,Atkins was far and away the most sexualized teeny-bopper idol of that time.We could just sense that his career just had to be run by gay men!He was marketed in exactly the same way as female sex symbols had traditionally always been.And that was semi-revolutionary.I mean,all this hubba-hubba and still he was someone you might see on Carson or on The Golden Globes!It didn't seem to matter to anyone that he couldn't seem to act his way out of a paper bag either.He seemed like a sweet,dumb kid-a little bamboozled by his success-but also having the time of his life!
The early 80's were some sort of peak of both the feminist movement and gay visibility.Atkins' career seemed to be pointing towards a future of true equality(in a silly,pop culture "why the hell not?" kind of way of course!).Then Aids struck and the Country took a giant step backwards into puritanism.Atkins career(and the nudity that he so casually and generously offered)died along with other symbols of a permissive time.It wasn't until the advent of Marky Mark that a male was allowed to be so blatantly sexy and still a semi-star.Atkins holds a special place in this gay heart!!!

When I was a child I got a very similar Crossing the Rubicon experience.
There was a theatre & tv actor whose name is Enric Majò that I admired much.
He was quite hot, nothing too special, but a familiar face and a great actor.
I heard he had posed as a model for a gay magazine
(in fact the only one that existed then)
So I found the guts and went trembling and sweating in terror to get a copy. Told the man I wanted it for my sister (he nodded with disgust)
Then I Went to my house all panicked. You know when your heart starts pounding so much that you can feel a thumping in your throat, like you have your heart in your mouth.
Opened the thing and I saw him: All completely, absolutely, totally exposed. I felt blurry eyes, because I couldn't believe it and something cracked inside. That's it: "soy maricón, soy bujarrón perdido" (I'm a faggot, hopelessly faggot) and the worst of it is that I loved it so.

Can I play too, even if I'm not gay?
A bit of background: it was my Freshmen year of college, I had just turned 18, was out of my parents' house and prying eyes, and the first time that I had ever had the freedom to really get familiar with porn. This was in the late 1990s - days where the internet was primarily confined to dial-up connections, and people used things like Spry Mosaic as a browser. Back then, porn videos were a scarce commodity, secretly passed around in an underground economy.
They were all straight videos. Going to an all-boys high school you would think that it might be different, but teenagers are not known for their sensitivity or accepting behaviors.
So I had never watched any gay porn, or really known any out of the closet gay people at that point (years later, a friend from high school would come out, but I did not know that at the time). I had been growing more and more curious about being on the receiving end of anal sex - "Bend Over Boyfriend" had just been published, and was getting a lot of press in the Bay Area while I was at school.
Still, being unable to fully shake off the world I had grown up in, I only slowly connected the dots. I don't remember the first few gay porn videos I was able to find on the internet, other than that they were of the general Falcon variety of that era. They were rather antiseptic, and did not do much of anything for me. I was 18 though, and watched them nonetheless, but, unlike some people, I did not have the breakthrough that I had hoped.
Then I bought a copy of "Joe's Big Adventure." The final scene was with Joe Landon and Tommy Cruise, and it was a revelation. Unlike the gay porn I had acquired previously, these two guys looked hot but REAL, not some overly steroid-enhanged hulks. They kissed, and didn't just have paint-by-the-numbers sex. There was CHEMISTRY. It was HOT.
I must have watched that scene a dozen times the first week I got the video; any time my roommate would be gone. I was entranced by how different it was from what had come before. I was inspired by Tommy Cruise's bottoming, which was active and engaged with Joe, rather than being a prop to be fucked like in the bad porn I had previously watched. I wanted to be that bottom, getting fucked, and giving pleasure rather than just being taken.
I wish then that this story could then go on about how many guys I had, and what a great experience college was for me, and a chance to broaden my horizons. It was not. Remember that background I mentioned? Those things die hard, and it took me over ten years to admit these feelings to anyone else, and even then, I only did so after I was firmly in a heterosexual relationship that I am unwilling to screw up by exploring.
But there's no denying what I am now, or when I KNEW. Thank you, Joe and Tommy, for teaching me that.

The first time it really rang home was when I was alone one evening and I turned on something called the Playboy Channel on cable and came across a movie staring Francois Papillon. I could not get my eyes off the butterfly tattoo on his nice "bubble but". I believe the name of the movie was Every Man's Fantasy (1985) That is what did it for me.

LOL. In high school the locker room was hell for me too. But for me it was because the hot guys I wanted to see naked were all football players and thus never in my PE class. What hot bodies some of them had.
My first loves were:
Shaun Cassidy: at 10 I wanted him so bad as a brother. Sick that I wanted to get nasty with my brother but I was 10 and didn't yet know that guys could have boyfriends so "brother" what the best I could come up with.
Mat Dillon in Little Darlings: he was so hot. Oh how I wanted him to take my virginity.
Shaun and Mat would never make it today because they did not work out at the gym. But the hot guys of the 70's didn't (eg David Cassidy who was THE teen idol of the 70's had no mussel definition)
But the person I have JO'ed more than anyone else over the years is Brad Pitt. From 1991's Thelma & Louise on I have been in love with that body.

The more I think about this subject the more I become aware of another movie which helped me accept the fact I was gay. The movie was Fast Times At Ridgemont High(1982). More specifically, it was the scene where Judge Reinhold was caught masturbating in the bathroom. Most of my friends at the time were going google eyed over Phoebe Cates in the bathing suit while I was fixed upon Judge Reinhold jerking off in the bathroom.
Below is a photo of the scene.
I am sure as time passes I will come up with other movies or actors which helped me through the "coming out" process.

WOW, GUYS -
I want to thank you ALL for making this into such a beautiful, and fascinating, thread! I am really loving hearing about all your formative erotic experiences. As far as I am concerned, coming to know that you find men beautiful - and really loving that experience - is a pretty amazing, life-altering, realization.
And ('cause I am sorta sappy!) I want to give ALL you guys a GREAT BIG HUG - and extend the wish and the hope that, now and ALWAYS, there is someone really nice, and sweet, and good, and BEAUTUIFUL - in YOUR life, to equal or even SURPASS those first beautiful dreams, you ever had!!!
I am sorry (and most apologetic) that this response won't do justice to all the sweet and gorgeous and GLORIOUS memories you guys have shared. I appreciate ALL of them. But I will try to respond (however inadequately) to a couple of things you've mentioned.
"HeresJohnny" - Cristiano isn't a gay pornstar, but I sure wish he WERE! He is my best friend's ULTIMATELY favorite guy - and he's just GORGEOUS: whatever he does!
"Pai Mei" - Wow, thank you for these AMAZING photos. I have seen a couple of shots of Simon Nessman before, and WOW, is he beautiful! But the BIG discovery, for me, was your sharing a photo of Guillaume Varki. I never saw him before, but he is WILDLY handsome! (Off the charts!)
"Brandhay" - Like you, I always thought Marcus Schenkenberg was incredibly hot. Back in the day, my Scandinavian model of choice was Beiron Andersson - I still have his calendar lurking about, somewhere, and I actually had his POSTER tacked up on my wall. (After this post, I'll try and share a few pics ;-)
"Ninja108" - I got totally drawn in by Lukas Ridgeston, in the first Bel Ami tidal wave that hit North America, thanks to (the late and MUCH-lamented) "Freshmen" magazine. Oh gosh, that perfect form - those LUPINE EYES - that GIANT uncut piece, he was packing. . . all just SHEER MAGIC, that got me going on Bel Ami for the next DECADE. (I loved everything Johan was in - and ION was my absolute fave!)
"fbhwes" - I am not familiar with Todd Parker - maybe you can educate me? I'm eager to hear more about him!!!
"Yortoxx" - say no more about Marky Mark! Not only did I jerk off multiple times over his CK ads: I actually broke down and bought his book - which led to more "effusions", and not of the literary kind, either!!! LOL!
"PhunkSpunk" - my buddy - I am totally with you in ALL you say. Except that I was not so much into Russian gymnasts, but Russian figure-skaters. (I had a huge thing for Alexei Urmanov - "sexy Alexei", as the girls from St-P's used to call him.) I have ALWAYS loved Russian guys, since so many of my neighbours on the farm were Russian-, Polish-, or Hungarian-Canadian guys: it was sort of like growing up in a Bel Ami movie! LOL! And as for Mikal JANOS - I actually took the trouble to mail in a vote for him, as "Freshmen of the Year" - and then he WON! One of the cutest guys ever, our Mikal - and, though he got kind of big and muscly, kept his beauty, perfectly ;-))) (I also got a copy of Bruce Weber's Bear Pond - have you seen it? It is absolutely breathtaking.)
"Meluvjan" - thanks for your beautiful and profound recollection of what was a simpler time. I agree, Chris sort of perfectly represented that, and would that so many complications hadn't ensued, to sully the lovely dreams we were wrapped up in, then. Now, I guess we are all coping, and to all younger guys who are reading, and to EVERYONE, really, I'd just say: please take care of yourself, and be SAFE. Love is more complicated than it used to be, but it IS possible. (XOXOXOXO)
"Castoono" - that was a lovely, and sometimes heartbreaking memoir. It was just so touching, and beautifully written. I have two further questions, though - #1: Do you like Gael Garcia Bernal? Because I think he is just WILDLY beautiful. And, #2: who is that lovely footballer in your avatar? He's quite hot, also! (To my taste, Fernando Torres is the f***ing BOMB!!!
"OpenlyClosed" - of course you can play, even if you are not gay. Perhaps you are straight, with the occasional attraction for a guy: or perhaps you are bi, and identify primarily as straight, with an emotional attachment to girls. Doesn't matter at all, OC. I can tell - just from the way you write! - that you are a super-nice and sensitive person, so please feel welcome, and feel welcome to share. I am sure we are ALL glad to know you, and be your friend. I ALSO got a copy of "Joe's Big Adventure", and wow, Joe was/IS one of the hottest guys on planet earth. I've read that he is happily partnered, and that's why he makes so few videos: but every one he HAS made, has been a keeper! Anyway, OC - you take care of yourself! I am sure that being in that "in-between" kind of space must be pretty difficult. But I am sure you'll find lots of nice friends here on JUB, who will help and encourage you - not to do anything you don't want to do, but just to be yourself and be OK. (XOXOXOXO)
"Ophelia Hardin" - WOW, did that still from Franco Zeffirelli's "R&J" ever bring back memories! I saw it when I was in high school, and our English teacher - who was a notorious (straight) pervert: rewound the film and played that naked scene OVER and OVER again! (Because he was in LURRVVE with Olivia Hussey!) I got full value out of it, though, 'cause I thought Leonard Whiting (Romeo!) was AMAZING: so I had no complaints ;-))))
"Luckyass 69" - Any fave pics of Antonio??? I have never actually seen him in much, though I've seen a couple of pics, and know he is pretty handsome!
"Careandrespect" - Thanks for the photo of Francois Papillon! He is pretty big and butch for my tastes, but undoubtedly handsome! Plus he has super facial architecture: and that weapon he's packing looks - deadly!!!
"ShayPitt" - ALL the girls in my junior high class were SO into Shaun Cassidy - and pretty cute he WAS, too! (I was more into David, though, because I am "all brunets, all the time" - LOL. As you know, I am quite devoted to CF's own Mr. TRAVIS) But Matt Dillon: you betcha! Wow, was he cute back in the day! (Loved his accent, too, which to a Canuck sounded wild, exotic, sexy, and ROUGH!) And it seems to me Matt has mostly KEPT his great looks, down through the years!!! (Yay, Matt!!!)
"Careandrespect" (encore! encore!) LOL! - I have always found Judge Reinhold really quite cute, as well! Just in a boy-next-door, sort of way. Now I have to go back and re-wind FTARH - to get a better LOOK at that! But I would sure jerk off with Judge, if I had the chance ;-)))
"GreenEyed Gemini" - for sure, Travis Fimmel - an absolute CLASSIC. Thanks for the lovely pics, BTW: I think you've totally made your own case for Travis F. as a guy who could EASILY turn someone - errr - to OUR side ;-)))
Guys, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the sweet privilege of YOUR THOUGHTS and special experiences. I never thought that this thread would receive such a generous response, but I really appreciate it. Because I think, as gay men (or bisexual, or just "curious" men) it is wonderful to look back on those early experiences that somehow chimed in our hearts and minds - and that, even to this day, mean something special to us.
Porn is porn, and men are men, but - one thing rises above all that. And that is, we ALL have hearts and minds and FEELINGS, that yearn to be fed. And these earliest impressions you have shared, are just the kind of impressions (I think) that show us all as the people we really are. Just (mostly, for the most part!) as a bunch of really NICE GUYS, who just want to experience passion and desire, and love, and GIVE it ALL BACK, to someone JUST AS NICE as we are.
I wish for ALL of you - who have written in, or simply read the thread - all the best in your life and romances. To those who celebrated Passover, I hope it was a blessed one: to those (like me) who will celebrate Easter, I wish you a blessed one, also. And to everyone, I hope you have a very happy weekend.
Take care,
"TF" XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I am sure we are ALL glad to know you, and be your friend. I ALSO got a copy of "Joe's Big Adventure", and wow, Joe was/IS one of the hottest guys on planet earth. I've read that he is happily partnered, and that's why he makes so few videos: but every one he HAS made, has been a keeper! Anyway, OC - you take care of yourself! I am sure that being in that "in-between" kind of space must be pretty difficult. But I am sure you'll find lots of nice friends here on JUB, who will help and encourage you - not to do anything you don't want to do, but just to be yourself and be OK. (XOXOXOXO)
"Ophelia Hardin" - WOW, did that still from Franco Zeffirelli's "R&J" ever bring back memories! I saw it when I was in high school, and our English teacher - who was a notorious (straight) pervert: rewound the film and played that naked scene OVER and OVER again! (Because he was in LURRVVE with Olivia Hussey!) I got full value out of it, though, 'cause I thought Leonard Whiting (Romeo!) was AMAZING: so I had no complaints ;-))))
"Luckyass 69" - Any fave pics of Antonio??? I have never actually seen him in much, though I've seen a couple of pics, and know he is pretty handsome!
"Careandrespect" - Thanks for the photo of Francois Papillon! He is pretty big and butch for my tastes, but undoubtedly handsome! Plus he has super facial architecture: and that weapon he's packing looks - deadly!!!
"ShayPitt" - ALL the girls in my junior high class were SO into Shaun Cassidy - and pretty cute he WAS, too! (I was more into David, though, because I am "all brunets, all the time" - LOL. As you know, I am quite devoted to CF's own Mr. TRAVIS) But Matt Dillon: you betcha! Wow, was he cute back in the day! (Loved his accent, too, which to a Canuck sounded wild, exotic, sexy, and ROUGH!) And it seems to me Matt has mostly KEPT his great looks, down through the years!!! (Yay, Matt!!!)
"Careandrespect" (encore! encore!) LOL! - I have always found Judge Reinhold really quite cute, as well! Just in a boy-next-door, sort of way. Now I have to go back and re-wind FTARH - to get a better LOOK at that! But I would sure jerk off with Judge, if I had the chance ;-)))
"GreenEyed Gemini" - for sure, Travis Fimmel - an absolute CLASSIC. Thanks for the lovely pics, BTW: I think you've totally made your own case for Travis F. as a guy who could EASILY turn someone - errr - to OUR side ;-)))
Guys, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the sweet privilege of YOUR THOUGHTS and special experiences. I never thought that this thread would receive such a generous response, but I really appreciate it. Because I think, as gay men (or bisexual, or just "curious" men) it is wonderful to look back on those early experiences that somehow chimed in our hearts and minds - and that, even to this day, mean something special to us.
Porn is porn, and men are men, but - one thing rises above all that. And that is, we ALL have hearts and minds and FEELINGS, that yearn to be fed. And these earliest impressions you have shared, are just the kind of impressions (I think) that show us all as the people we really are. Just (mostly, for the most part!) as a bunch of really NICE GUYS, who just want to experience passion and desire, and love, and GIVE it ALL BACK, to someone JUST AS NICE as we are.
I wish for ALL of you - who have written in, or simply read the thread - all the best in your life and romances. To those who celebrated Passover, I hope it was a blessed one: to those (like me) who will celebrate Easter, I wish you a blessed one, also. And to everyone, I hope you have a very happy weekend.
Take care,
"TF" XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
