Eric Ryan : One of the Originals

Failed actor and musical composer, Eric Ryan came to New York City to find fame and fortune in the 70's, and eventually made his way into gay porn where he proved to be a versatile and engaging presence.  Not a pretty boy, nor a muscle god, Ryan was the sort of fellow who worked for the viewer's attention, and he found it.  Sadly, he passed away in 1993 from HIV.

Paul Roma and Jim Powers - Pro Wrestling's 80's Dream Team!

Back in the 80s, if you lacked a VCR, or porn mags, your only choice might have been tuning into pro wrestling on a Saturday Morning.  Back in the day, the Saturday Morning gladiators were awash with gorgeous young men who did not have tattoos, or appear to be pumped up on steroids...some of the bruisers of this era had honest muscles made by exercise and sweat.  For instance, feast your eyes on Paul Roma and Jim Powers, two slabs of man meat who tag teamed under the name of "The Young Stallions"

 

Powers always got my blood pumping.  That gorgeous head of hair, that Hollywood smile, those fucking muscles, that gorgeous arse.  He suffered like a good jobber, and sometimes dealt the punishment to his opponents.



 

 

Meanwhile, his partner, Roma, a Roman God Come to Life, would always come to the  aid of his buddy.  Paul was tough, resilient and the stuff that wet dreams were made of.   Later on in his career he became a bad guy, a bastard, who took sadistic joy on inflicting pain on his opponents.



 

Both men had impressive bulges as well as incredible physiques.   Watching them punish the guys they took on was a pleasure, but watching them suffer was also a joy.   Heck, even looking at them in form fitting t-shirts was enough to make some of us shoot a load.



Powers, had this sort of Matinee Idol look to him.  That Rock and Roll boy hair, that handsome face, those pecs, that smile...did I mention how much he got my blood pumping?  Oh yeah, I think I did.

 

Oh and  that hair, damn, damn, damn, that crown of gorgeous curly hair.  The way it framed his beautiful face...they don't build 'em like this anymore.

But when it came to muscle, and machismo, Roma ruled the ring...

Need more proof?

 

Another thing I sort of obsessed over, Jim Powers' back muscles...

Then again, from the front, he also made me salivate.

 

The (not so) Young Stallions Today...fuck it, they still get my motor running.

With lovers and friends

Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all"

Tall, Dark, and Handsome - Eric Manchester.

Was it the perpetual "five-o-clock-shadow?  The smattering of fuzz on his chest?  The gorgeous head of dark hair?  The thick eyebrows?  The sensuous gaze?    

Whatever the case, Eric Manchester was one of my favorite porn stars in the late 80's through the early 90's.

 

 

Manchester first showed up in the skin rags, and shortly there after started appearing in gay porn films.  He usually topped, but occasionally he offered up that succulent arse of his.

 

Fearlessly sexual, and seemingly insatiable  Eric Manchester was the man we needed in those dark days of AIDS and homophobia.  He celebrated his sexuality and used his cocky attitude to not only titillate, but to celebrate the joy of gay sex!

Where have you gone, you cocky bastard?

Jack Lofton, The Power Bottom

Sinewy, sensual, and 'stached, Jack Lofton did a handful of porn films back in the 80's and then pretty much vanished.  More than anything, he will be remembered  as a voracious power bottom.

Initially appearing in porn rags, Lofton soon broke into gay porn films and made a name  for himself as one nasty little bottom boy (who occasionally topped).
