Phil Bradley's fine ass

I had never heard of Rump magazine before I found this. I imagine it was pretty short lived. But they sure did pick a nice ass for this cover, in the form of Phil Bradley. Phil seems to have some difficulty emoting in print media, but his movies are generally great. He's versatile, and looks good in both roles.

Phil was the subject of an early amateurish video project of mine, one that would make very little sense to the kids of today. You see, by grad school my VHS porn collection took up a considerable amount of space. It was first a bag in my closet, then a suitcase under my bed, then finally a trunk at the food of my bed. Despite constant thinning of the herd (throwing away the less spank-worthy porn), I was always running out of space. Also just looking at the sheer volume was depressing in that it reminded me how much money I was spending. So one day I get the idea to buy an analog/digital converter and do some porn consolidation. DVDs, if nothing else, are easier to store. 

My first "project" was ambitiously titled "The Best of Phil Bradley Part 1", which combined Phil's scenes from "Barnstorm", "Sex Crimes", "Someone is Watching" and "Hart Throb". While a good idea, I realized too late that there was a mismatch of the audio and video tracks by a few seconds and dropping to the signal here and there, leading to unwanted jumps in the picture. My to my dismay, I had already tossed out the bulky tapes, and a few of them were no longer in print. So now I am left with an imperfect record of some of my favorite scenes. You be amazed how annoying the mismatched grunting can be.

Frank Defeo

Frank Defeo or "Frank the Tank"is a competitive body builder who is willing to blur the lines of body building and porn. Kinky sex at that. His website and blog feature standard fare muscle worship and jerk off vids, but also foot fetish, bondage, tickling  and shaving videos. Personally I admire a man who's obviously conscious of his appeal to a broad base of pervy weirdos. He was even willing to stop shaving and appear in Bear magazine, in which he says that he's bisexual and "men give the best blow jobs". Personally I have my doubts about him liking boys--he just seems like a straight guy. I think he may be pandering to his gay fan base, but I'll take it. I enjoy pandering.

Kurt Bauer in Top Man

In the furtive early days of my gay porning, I would often buy a gay porn mag, hide it under my bed for a few weeks then throw it away in a fit of shame. Back in those glorious pride filled days I remember I coming across this photo spread in a magazine stand on 6th avenue off Christopher street. It was in a different mag, whose title I don't recall. I do remember that the the type on the cover, which featured the same blow job shot with Peter Ashley and Kurt Bauer, just said: "big, big, BIG!" in expanding font size. That and Kurt Bauer's hairy chest caught my horny closeted eye, and I took the plunge and bought the mag. In typical style I obsessively and religiously looked at it in my room for a few weeks then ripped it up and threw it away, safely straight to an outside observer once more.



I remember in my novice gay mind being slightly disappointed that Kurt was the one who bottomed.  True, he did get a nice BJ... but then the twink bent him over and went to town. Big hairy guys should be the butch tops, I reasoned, and slim boys got fucked. Of course this was a teenage pre-gay boy's reasoning colored by the fact that I'd never even kissed another guy before. What the hell did I know about bottoming? I was still thinking like a straight, no idea about the real mechanics and semantics of gay sex. I think it took a getting few big black cocks up my ass to figure out that gay sex is a bit more complex than a butch and a femme--that the slim skater boys might end up grabbing your ankles and the body builders were just as likely to grab their own.



Anyhow, Kurt Bauer never really delivered for me--although I tried to love him. The scene from "Top Man" (from which these scenes came) is okay, and he did have a "Best of" collection, but it was from Catalina, meaning it was dimly lit and poorly produced. But more than that somehow the guy, for all his potential hotness, could not take a good photo save his soul. His "sexy face" was a deer-in-the-headlights stare that kind of freaked me out. Odd, because I'm sure he was stunning in person, and he sure had the body.

Cover Art with Ray Harley

Ray Harley was among the handful of successful hairy porn stars to come of age in the 90's. Standing at 5'7", he was also considerably smaller than most of his co-stars. When I think of this career bottom now, I remember him yammering away with barely perceptible porn chatter as he got bent over whatever object and reamed mercilessly, such as the classic quote "You wanna fuck the boss's butt, hmm yeah?" from "Day Trade".

I kid though, I was a fan. He had a compact muscular, manly sexiness and was just a little cutie pie in a sex pig sort of way. Unfortunately, like many of the top talents of the day, he worked mostly with Catalina studios, a studio which I will remember for low production values and constant repackaging of old scenes. He was active until 2004.

These first two box covers are from my old VHS box collection, the rest are lower res DVD covers from the internet. Right at the end are 3 more modern pictures of a beefier more mature Ray, who I personally think looks good as ever.

Bruno Bond

The mother of all muscle daddies - despite the contradiction in terms - is in very fine form for this solo performance. It's a rare chance to see this master of fuzz and muscle tackling his tool all on his lonesome without anyone else in shot to make you jealous that they get to touch that faultless body.CLICK HERE
