Lex Baldwin's cautionary tale

Lex Baldwin was another porn star whose image grabbed me as I furtively creeped into the all male section of the video stores as a pre-gay. He had a perpetually oiled up torso, and a great "I'm no faggot" scowl. The box covers are still hot to me:






Unfortunately they were all Catalina titles, which are invariably disappointing due to poor lighting, sound and dull sex--but they sure did get the hot guys. He was their poster boy for a while...they even made him the star of "Power Tool 2" which is the sequel to maybe the most famous gay porn of all time:



Lex was not a good actor. The "oh yeah"s and "suck that big dick"s were monotone and the pelvic thrusts were half assed. Of course that didn't stop me from masturbating to his films constantly, but I wished he was trying as hard as I was.
Anyhow, Lex's "I ain't no fag" scowl apparently stemmed from the fact that he wasn't no fag...he was super gay for pay. No kissing, no sucking dick...certainly no bottoming. Apparently working pretending to be a gay man gave him a complex and he decided to change his identity to a straight porny named "Talon" and wreck his beautiful face with plastic surgery. Lets say it didn't go well.

I prefer to remember him before he became a cautionary tale, but I'm also a bitch, so here's a link to a well written piece about his decent into Michael Jacksonville on Nightcharm.

Here are some photos before he went crazy, although if you read his likes and dislikes in the last one, there were signs.















The moral? I guess don't get famous for sticking your dick in people asses if you don't like it. Or as Heather Chandler says: "If you want to fuck with the eagles, you better learn to fly"
