pre-condom

Gay Porn Classics: Huge

HugeHuge is a gay porn classic circa 1983, brought to us by Falcon Studios. This movie, also known as Huge 1: Falcon Pac 29, was the world’s big introduction to hung stud Lee Ryder. The film was a big enough success to become a two-part series.

On a hot day in the city, two guys are hanging out in front of a building, smoking and talking about going to the beach in hopes of getting laid. They do get laid, but not at the beach and not the way they thought – Mike Weldon and Lee Ryder are here to settle some scores. It seems like the guys have been stepping on Lee and Mike’s turf and it’s time to make them pay. Mike and Lee push the guys into a back alley, where they force them to suck their cocks and get fucked in the ass. The four guys fuck in pairs at first, and then get into a daisy chain. Mike and Lee leave the darker haired guy lying on a trash can drenched in cum as they take his friend with them.

Lee and Mike bring their new fuck buddy to their usual hangout spot, which the new guy humorously calls a clubhouse. Drinking beer gets them all horny again and eager to suck each other’s dicks. Now that the ice has already been broken, the alleyway bottom is perfectly happy to get on the table and let both of his new friends fuck him.

Good-looking, dark-haired stud Joe Reeves is working on his motorcycle in his garage while the lighter-haired but equally attractive Mark Hunter admires the machine – and the muscles that are working on it. This really was all about watching a shirtless Joe working, unless it was the two-wheeled ride that got Mark’s dick so hard. Soon Mark sensually undoes Joe’s fly and starts blowing him on the bike. In turn, Joe fucks Mark on the bike, briefly gets a rimjob from Mark, and then resumes fucking Mark in another position on the bike. Even if you aren’t into motorcycles, it’s the most effortlessly sexy scene in the movie because these guys take time for some foreplay and genuinely seem to be enjoying each other.

Lee Ryder pulls into a gas station and asks for directions and $10 worth of gas. In those days, that must have meant he was running on empty and needed the whole tank filled. While the attendant fills the tank, Lee goes to the restroom. Soon the attendant comes in, sees him lazily pulling on his dick in the bathroom stall, and decides to join him in there. While cock sucking is going on in the stall, a third guy comes into the bathroom and notices two sets of legs in one stall. He soon joins in for a threeway. Lee sure got a great deal for only ten bucks!

If you were a fan of this pre-condom classic, stick with it after the fourth scene for three more scenes’ worth of bonus footage! There are two guys in a hotel room, a pair of cowboys in the great outdoors, and a couple of guys in a bedroom (including a very hairy bottom). These are more like old 8mm loops but there’s definitely a hot seedy quality to them. Huge is still just as much fun today as it was 28 years ago.

Gay Porn Classics: Black Velvet – Pornstud

Black Velvet - PornstudRecognizing a market for porn history and a need to rescue it, Falcon Studios, now part of the porn colossus known as Falcon Studios – Raging Stallion Studios, has been remastering and rereleasing its classic films for DVD and VOD. In 2006 it combined two pre-condom classics in Black Velvet – Pornstud, a full-length feature made up of erotic vignettes from the late ’70s/early ’80s.

The “Black Velvet/The Big Deal, Part One” portion begins with dark-haired, clean-cut, handsome Doug giving a one-man show. Doug fondles his well-built body and strokes his big dick at the best angles before cumming on his hand and balls.

Scenes two and three feature Playgirl discovery John Traynor and super-hung Bill Harrison, both with classic ’70s facial hair. After they’ve sucked each other, Bill takes John’s ass in many positions, and the way he possesses that hole can only be described as an anal assault. Bill drives his huge cock to the hilt with forceful, rolling hip-thrusts. It’s well-lit against a black backdrop, a perfect frame for the gorgeous sexual imagery and slow-motion cumshots.

Scenes four and five star John Holmes (at left on box cover), one of the only household-name men in porn. These solo clips demonstrate one of the reasons he’s an icon: his enormous cock. (To watch him fuck another man, see The Biggest of Them All – Pool Party.) First we see him astride a motorcycle, polishing its metal before polishing his own knob. He grinds against the fuel tank and unleashes his thick, long dick. Cupping his balls and masturbating with both hands on his shaft, John gives us plenty to feast our eyes on here. He produces his own cream to polish the tank! In the second John Holmes clip, the legend sports an Afro as he double-hands his iconic, uncut organ. Speaking of instruments, at times the way he plays his fingers against his sac makes it look like he’s going to blow the other end of his skin flute (sadly, he doesn’t). John looks his best here. Most of John’s work was in straight porn, so this is a rare treat.

The “Pornstud/The Big Deal, Part Two” portion of the film begins with a tasty skateboarding twink named Bo, a blond beauty masturbating in his bedroom. As you watch his stomach muscles flex and relax while he strokes his own cock, you’ll want to reach out and touch his hard young body. From below, the camera lens catches the drops of his slow-motion cumshot.

In scene seven, classic porn star Joe Markham inducts his younger brother Tony Markcum into the smut business on the bed of a red pickup truck. Of all the places to run into his studly big brother, Tony never thought he’d find him while cruising the beach! Starting with one of the most athletic 69 sequences ever filmed, they progress to hard and deep anal.

At a private sex club, construction worker Big John and athlete Tom Cline (who resembles Neil Patrick Harris) are the hot and sweaty main event. Big John gets his 11-inch cock hard so Tom can cram as much of it down his throat as possible. Tom becomes a wide receiver as Big John rims, fingers, fucks, and even fists his tight asshole. This isn’t today’s elbow-deep fisting, but it’s fun for Tom.

Ken Orsini hits a public toilet for guaranteed action. With the stall door ajar and Ken’s 10 inches at attention, he has no problem attracting the attention of black stud Big Ben. Mind you, Big Ben is aptly named, with a meat stick that’s at least two inches longer than Ken’s! They have a jackoff battle, each seemingly determined to do no more than pound his own meat in front of another man, but it’s hot and heavy the way they come so close to touching… and never do. Without a word, they shoot their loads onto the floor and part ways.

Gay Porn Classics: Twins

TwinsThe subject of brotherly love has always been one of the hottest taboos. Never has it been more fully and tenderly explored than in the pre-condom gay porn classic we’re reviewing today, titled simply Twins. Delving into the fascinating world that only identical twins can fully understand, director Toby Ross treats the subject with an almost educational approach. It’s even more like a time capsule than most classic titles, giving us a look inside the twins’ actual homes (this can mean shag carpet and ugly floral print at times). These three sets of twins were filmed back in the 1970s, but this compilation was released in 1993.

As sensitive as it is sexy, Twins takes an almost documentary approach during the brief narrated segments, when we hear about the high incidence of sex-play between younger identical twins. Most of the time this tapers off when they get older, but not in the case of these three pairs.

The O’Brian twins are the first we watch. At the time they were filmed, they were active-duty Marines, which only makes this hotter. They horse around karate-style, clearly showing off, but it’s endearing. Then their shirts come off and they share a long moment of sexual tension, staring into each other’s eyes, until one begins to grope the other through his pants. The twin on top begins to kiss the other while stroking his pale, silky-smooth cock. One twin fucks the other in a way that tells us they’ve done this before. After he cums, he pushes his cummy cock back into his twin’s hole and fucks him until he cums as well. Boyish though they are, at times the O’Brian brothers resemble Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.

In the next scene we meet Tim and Chris Christy, surfers living with a sugar daddy in Venice Beach. You can almost taste the salty air as you watch them kiss and masturbate onto glass – the camera is below it, so that we see the cum drops landing. Next they suck each other off. Tim tops Chris in doggie, missionary, and sidesaddle, then pulls out and cums on Chris’ ball sac. Chris, with his ass in the air and feet behind his own head, jerks out a cumshot that lands on his own face while Tim is rimming his asshole. We’re told that Tim and Chris later grew apart and led vastly different lives, which adds poignant significance to this segment.

The Karlstadt twins were both working at a San Francisco Safeway grocery store when they were discovered, and this scene was filmed in the small apartment where they lived as real-life lovers. One twin lounges with his shirt off and jeans pulled down to show his ass, which he keeps looking back at as if to tease us with its tasty roundness. This young guy knows how hot he is – and so does his twin, who keeps trying to pull down his jeans. The first twin resists at first, but soon he’s just as turned on and he submits to his amorous brother, letting him lick, suck, and then fuck him. This scene maps out the complex emotional landscape of that moment in time, caught for posterity on 8mm film, lit with gorgeously glowing natural light. It almost makes them look innocent.

We have a strong sense that what we’ve seen is not only far more risqué than the average porno, but also tender, an absolute treasure. Those who are tired of the porn clichés and want something unique will find it here.

Gay Porn Classics: From Paris to New York

From Paris to New YorkFrom Paris to New York is a 1977 gay porn classic that has been rereleased on VOD by Bijou Pictures. As it’s definitely a product of the late 1970s, you can expect some classic gay disco tunes as well as plenty of mustaches and chest hair — and no condoms. Whether you experienced those days firsthand and want to reminisce or whether you’re a young man who’s curious about the ’70s gay scene, this is a time capsule packed with lots of cum-worthy action.

It’s summer 1977. A Frenchman named Paul goes on a vacation to New York, leaving his lover, Jerome, behind in Paris. Paul writes to Jerome daily, but his final missive contains the heartbreaking news that Paul is never coming back. That December, Jerome goes to New York to find Paul, but what he encounters there is a whole slew of reasons why his lover decided it was too good ever to return to the City of Light.

Wearing an enormous fur coat, mustachioed muscleman Paul reads Jerome’s letter in the back of the taxi cab. It reveals that the cab driver Jerome met at the airport offered to show him around the gay scene in New York and that’s when Paul knew Americans were far from timid. Either Paul has the same cabbie, or there must be more than one French-speaking, out gay taxi driver around town. Paul’s driver also offers to show him where the men with “strange desires” go. They fuck each other in some kind of meat locker.

Paul explores the city with occasional guidance from other men, including a souvenir store clerk who somehow recognizes him as a fellow Frenchman and invites him to spend an evening together after the shop closes. In secret corners, in pool hall restrooms, in a warehouse, men find each other for ecstatic couplings that at the time could be downright dangerous. From Paris to New York may show you your own reasons to long for those times that can seem so recent yet distant to those who were there, so exotic to those too young to remember them.

The Young and the Hung

The Young and the Hung“The Young and the Hung” was director William Higgins’ first major porno and it’s been popular since its 1985 release. To see why, just look at the cast. The men in this movie from Catalina are all good looking and sexy!

First is cover boy Christopher Lance, who picks up hitchhiker Grant Fagin. Christopher wastes no time talking Grant into whipping out his dick. They pull onto a deserted road and climb into the bed of Christopher’s truck. Christopher’s dick jumps as he slobs Grant’s slightly curved cock, and soon Grant repays the kindness by rimming Christopher’s hairy hole before starting to fuck him. After seeing how Christopher enjoyed taking it in the ass, Grant gives up his ass cherry and Christopher cums again after fucking him. These boys enjoy each other’s assholes so much they make plans to do it again in a week.

At the diner/pool hall next to his hotel, Christopher sees cute, dark-haired Brian Estevez shooting balls around… on the pool table, that is. They meet in the bathroom, pleasure each other’s meaty packages through a gloryhole, and adjourn to Christopher’s room for a proper fuck. Dominant Christopher pounds Brian’s tan-lined ass. Brian cums, but Christopher isn’t done filling his hungry hole. After Christopher fucks him some more, Brian pops again as Christopher jerks out his own load. The new fuck buddies set up another date at the same diner in three weeks. Christopher will be a busy boy.

Tex Anthony and Ken Kerns pick up gorgeous hitchhiker Michael Gere and the pun-laced innuendo flies as Michael sees watermelons in the truck. They go to a barn where Tex and Ken’s planned jack-off contest becomes a threeway. Tex claims that fucking a hot watermelon is like fucking a pussy. As Ken fucks the melon that Tex holds in front of him, Michael starts fucking him in the ass. Clearly something of a watermelon fetishist, Tex sucks juice off Ken’s cock. Michael and Tex trade so Tex can fill Ken’s hole. They satisfy their post-sex hunger by eating watermelon. Is it better to fuck a melon or to eat it? Tex thinks sex with the juicy fruit is best.

In the most erotic scene, Michael lets long-distance bicyclist Troy Ramsey crash in the abandoned barn where he’s squatting. While Troy sleeps, Michael ogles him. Finally, Michael slips Troy’s shorts and underwear aside to lick his furry asshole, then cuts the garments at the crotch so he can easily get to the good stuff. Now awake, Troy gets on all fours so Michael can ride him “like a horse.” After a smoldering fuck, Troy notices his shorts have been cut and since his backpack got stolen, they’re his only pair. “I guess you’ll just have to stay here and be my slave,” Michael suggests. There are worse fates.

In a hotel room, dazzlingly beautiful Francois Papillon reads a letter as he gets undressed. Its contents, whatever they are, get him worked up enough to start masturbating and humping his pillows. He doesn’t know Michael has seen him from outside the building and is jerking himself off vigorously while watching Francois. Seeing this perfect specimen of masculinity spew goo sets off Michael’s own huge cumshot.

J.T. Denver wants to masturbate in peace, but mustachioed man Terry Evans and leather-gear-wearing Jim Erickson have other plans. They spot him and even though his self-play has turned them on, they decide to scare the shit out of him with a chainsaw. It turns out they all know each other, so all’s well that ends well with a threeway suck and fuck. Maybe J.T. should be more careful about where he decides to jerk off next time!

The Bigger The Better

The Bigger the BetterMatt Ramsey became Peter North — THE Peter North of straight porn fame — but when “The Bigger the Better” was made in 1984, he was causing a stir in the world of gay porn. In this movie he plays a teacher who has problems with several of his students that can only be resolved sexually!

When Matt asks troublemaker Rick Donovan to stay after school, he probably expects to give him detention and teach him a lesson. Instead it’s Rick who has a lesson for Matt and he delivers it straight up his ass with an exclamation point. Rick has one of the biggest dicks you’ll ever see. One has to wonder if taking this monster up the bum is what made Matt decide to get out of gay porn and start doing the ladies instead. It’s an incredible scene that will make you sorry Matt ever became Peter and left us bereft of his talents.

Later, Matt’s working out at home when another student pays him a visit. Sweet and tender Bobby Madison is hot for Teacher. Can you blame him? He wants a body like Matt’s, or maybe he wants Matt’s body exactly. Bobby gets it, alright — in his mouth and in his asshole, he gets Matt’s impressive cock.

Matt has an even better looking brother named Mike Ramsey. (Were they real brothers? We don’t really know.) He tells us about him and we see the action as Mike and his friend Buster crash at Mike’s condo after failing to pick up any girls on a night out. They’re horny, they’re both sexy, so why should they have to end the night in frustration? In what turns out to be the kind of emotionally satisfying scene you never expect but occasionally get out of porn, they explore each other’s bodies and discover they like it. Seeing Mike blow Buster is exciting and watching Buster bottom for Mike is equally hot!

In the last scene, Shawn McIvan has some fun at a glory hole, first sucking off Doug Weston. Meanwhile, Greg Stores sticks his cock through another hole and it’s all Shawn can do to please both dicks! Doug got there first, so he’s the first to cum and Shawn is free to give all his time to Greg. Joe Craig presents his stiffy through the hole and for his time, Shawn gets a rimjob in return. John Thomas shows up and Shawn blows him while Joe is sucking him off. Shawn fucks Joe while John fucks Shawn. It’s quite a satisfying way to end what has to be recognized as one of gay porn’s pre-condom legends.

Classic Porn: Tricking

TrickingThose who spent their early porn-loving years watching those soundless film loops could spring an instant, Pavlovian boner as soon as the first scene of “Tricking” begins. This is a long-lost gem circa 1978, digitally transferred from 8mm film. By curating these classics and making them available on demand to those who remember them and to a new generation, Bijou Pictures does a real service to porn lovers.

If you’ve never seen vintage film loops, then the first thing to know is that they’re silent, with an instrumental soundtrack on top. You’ll see the actors talking only rarely, because they clearly believe in the “don’t talk, just fuck” method. That means you aren’t missing any plot points… what plot points? If you like the sounds of grunting and heavy breathing then you’ll miss those, but we think you’ll enjoy seeing the act of hooking up stripped down to its raw essence. Speaking of which, it’s a pre-condom era piece, so all the action is bareback.

In the first vignette, two hot twinks meet for a hard and fast fuck amid the junky ambience of some back alley. It’s like watching guys cruising in the rough part of town from the safety of your computer screen. The second scene features two guys at a bar loading in a beer order who get so turned on they stop everything and just start sucking and fucking in front of the bar.

Scene three shows us a suit-wearing man heading out the door with a briefcase when a sexy young jogger heading his way gives him a reason to be late for work. The twink takes a quick skinny-dip in the pool and seems hesitant at first when the DILF-y businessman makes a move, but soon they’re in the bedroom having sex. It makes it even hotter when you imagine that this daddy is a married man and he’s having a torrid affair with this neighborhood piece of ass.

Meanwhile, some other desk jockey decides to get his piece of male ass at work. It’s risky, but it pays off in cum. Other guys in the last two scenes fuck on the job too, only they’re laborers instead of office workers, giving them that blue collar hotness factor.

“Tricking” is very different from modern porn, of course, but there’s still an audience out there for such almost-forgotten classics. It would also make a great movie to play when you’re having a party and you want to encourage a sexy mood.
