Sometimes, young gays fall in love with characters from PG or even G-rated movies. And sometimes, they fall for guys from adult entertainment!
In a recent Reddit thread, gay men listed the adult-film performers they’ve been sweet on, after one user asked users to name their first adult-star crush. Here are some of the responses, along with visual aid—at least, the visual aid that we can show.
“Pavel Novotny.” (“Ditto,” wrote another Reddit user.)
“Chris Rockway.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Gage from Sean Cody. Whatever happened to him?”
“Joe Parker [from] Bait Buddies. His smile is warming and cute.”
“Leander.”

“Cliff Jensen.”
“ASAP [from] BiLatinMen. Cutest and sexiest.”
“Vander Pulaski.”
“Christian Matthews, whom I actually ended up sleeping with, lol.”
“Calvin from Sean Cody! Perfect vers performer.”
“Phenix Saint.”

Zak Spears. First gay adult film I ever saw.

Same here, Stan! And thank you — was brain cramping on his name ?
Kangol2
Latino Fan Club had some beauties but Enrique Cruz’s La Mancha was the true legendary porn company. As for porn crushes, there was no one like Tiger Tyson!

Bruno from Colt – big thick macho man with a fat piece of meat
Albert Johnson
Bruno on Colt was so hot when I thought he was Italian. Got me through the late ’80’s on VHS. Then I found out he is Cubano! HOTTER!
Godabed
this list is what I would expect, very white and white presenting latinos. Do Better
tmball13
It did say first, when I started looking at gay porn white was all you did say. It’s different now, thank goodness
Chrisk
First crush implies the 90s from the authors POV and that was an era of mostly white so it makes sense.

Wahhhh. Wahhhhh. Wahhhhhh. Grow up. Stop bringing race into everything.

Since “latino” covers an awful lot of racial, cultural and linguistic ground what exactly do you mean by “white presenting”? Men too tall and not indigenous looking enough for you? Men who do not conform to your stereotypes? I did a lot of cruising in the town squares of less traveled Mexican cities in the early 80’s. Mexicans and other latinos come in a huge variety of skin colors and ethnic features. Don’t disparage them based on your personal taste!
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
Everyone, just a little fyi for those of you who knew him. Hoody LaVaye, left us back in December of 2021. No details regarding his death have been released but strangely he tweeted less than twelve hours before he died. He was a hope bottom and the scene between him and Phatrabbitkiller is a must see classic. RIP Hoody.

The question was about first crushes. People don’t choose whom they are attracted to; it’s chemistry.

I’ve never crushed on a porn star but I have my favorites.
Patty O’Brien from men. com.
Jax and Jess from Sean Cody.
Bryce and Hunter on onlyfans.c om/ saltyboysXXX XXX, truly the hottest couple on Earth.
ShiningSex
Colby Keller is so hot, but a favorite is Adam Russo.
I don’t remember his name, but he has a stupid headphones tattoo and he is hot, but can’t get over that awful tattoo.
ShiningSex
I don’t get how anyone is into that awful Johnny Rapid. Annoying little queen.
twomen4u
I have to represent my age community as my favorite is Johnny Weismuller as Tarzan from the 1930’s thru the early 1950’s.. That was one hot man and for a little boy growing up in the 1950’s he looked like an all out idol. Guess this shows my age but who cares.
NotAnAlphaDude
Jeff Stryker.
fredk3
went to see jeff stryker at actor’s playhouse downtown nyc many years ago – he was swingin’ in people’s faces – don’t you love live theater?
cuteguy
Christian Boeving, Brad Kalvo and Zeb Atlas. Was lucky enough to only meet the last two. And yes, they are as hot in person. Always wondered about CB
white-queer-african
OMG, no comment yet from SamB et al? It’s choice would no doubt be fürher Trump lol. lol lol.
On topic, Jeff Stryker did it for me especially when he bottomed.
Mack
lol Boy you nailed SamB.
Den
Actually willing to bet SamB would go off on how “sick” porn was, and how all porn actors were drug addled and disease riddled. But also willing to bet he watches porn of straight women pegging men!
DarkZephyr
Mine was Jeff Stryker, even though I didn’t know his name at the time. I saw his picture in the back of a “Men’s Workout” or “Men’s Exercise” or something similar that I bought at the grocery store when I was like, 13 or 14 years old, back when those magazines were secretly aimed at gay men and they had ads for gay porn in the back. It would be years before I actually watched actual porn with him in it and knew his name. But just from the picture I could see that he was beautiful.
Nowadays though I love Paddy O’Brian because he is handsome, sexy and genuinely a kind person in real life, just a truly sweet soul.
Diego Sans is quite delicious too.
GayEGO
Mine was William Holden, I now live in Holden, MA. I also had a friend named Lenny Holden.

Dean from Sean Cody is the best overall, hands down.
732Gary
I grew up watching Matt Gunther, Joey Stefano, Jeff Stryker, Tom Chase, Mike Branson…
I couldnt get enough of Kevin Williams though. Perfect body, cute demeanor, loved bottoming!
My new crush was Diego Sans, but he stopped bottoming completely so….not so much anymore.
Now I love Carter Dane. Sweetest guy in person.
GLynn11028
Johan Paulik from Bel Ami

Oh yes! Those Bel Ami boys were amazing. I loved Lukas and Martin Valkos scene where he topped Lukas in Lukas’ Story.
Absolutely in love with Sebastian Bonnet.

Al Parker. Always…
Den
Al Parker was incredibly hot!
crashstlmo
I still love Al Parker!
aka_Buzz
Al Parker was handsome and charismatic in person. I moved to the Bay Area in ’87 and lived in the Castro for the first several years. Al Parker bartended for a time at … what was then … “The Detour”. We lost so many wonderful people … but for a short time The Castro was a magical place … much more so then than now. Al Parker may not have agreed … but he and others like him were trailblazers. Even though they may have looked at porn as “just another job” … Al and others were unapologetically gay. Men like him tempted other “men-who-love-men” out of their closets and into the light … myself included. Many others were quietly changing things in small ways … but these guys were out there … putting a face on a broader definition of what it is to be gay … breaking taboos and pushing boundaries.
Al wasn’t my first choice in answer to the question posed above … that’s reserved for another fella … bartender … a man I met not too long after I’d moved to the neighborhood. It was a couple of months before I even realized he had been in “Kansas City Trucking Company”. While he thought nothing of it … to me it meant a great deal. As a kid … all I’d ever seen we’re tragic parodies of gays … gays who were always tormented … gays whose lives were endless misery … and who always died horribly. Yet here was a man who had been among those that broke those insufferable stereotypes … breaking open the doors to a wider spectrum of what a gay kid from Michigan could choose to be.
I have always been amused by those who retort, “I’m gay … but my sexuality doesn’t define me.”
Yes … it literally does … and adult film stars were the early face of gay liberation.

Brodie from Sean Cody and Kent from Corbin Fisher

Wasn’t Brodie originally the red power ranger? He was so hot!
Dyana B
Without a single shadow of a doubt, I’d say Diego Sans & Lukas Ridgeston, they are both breathtakingly beautiful…

Early teens I found my dad’s vhs porn tape, straight guy Marc Wallace was my first pornstar crush.

As an older gay man who was first exposed to gayporn in the 70s, I grew up in the heyday of Falcon and Colt, and the beginnings of the great Kristen Bjorn. There were far too many men to have favorites, but of course I did: AL Parker and Mike Branson from Falcon. Back then, guys weren’t covered in that putrid in and were far more attractive. There are lots of names listed above I would have to agree with that belong on a list of alltime favorites, and there are models today I still find incredibly attractive, but that list has shrunk because of ink. My opinion; no need to agree with it.
Tommy73
Thank you, I also agree the early gay porn was hott
Peter
Oh…and BTW, I met Jeff Stryker when he was in town once signing copies of his latest VHS movie. He couldn’t have been any more sincere or pleasant. I still have that signature.
Bradley
Michael Christopher, the delivery man from Gayracula.
cuteguy
Unfortunately he’s not gay, but Van Damage was my first porn crush. Also I must’ve had a thing for daddies bc I also had one for Rod Fontana. Rod and Frank Towers did this “toss my salad” series (with women) and it was so hot.
dhmonarch89
Race Jensen- ‘Spokes 2’

Kip Noll or any of the other two “Noll” brothers. To refresh your memory of “candidates here’s a link-https://www.boyculture.com/boy_culture/2013/01/125-hottest-gay-porn-stars.html
Brian
George Michael’s album cover for “Faith” when he’s shirtless, in a leather jacket, and turned to the side as if smelling his own armpit. Not porn, but that was enough to take me into infinity.
Tombear
I had several. Bruno and Jack Wrangler come to mind. I think they are both dead.
Den
It is hard to maintain a crush on porn actors. I had a huge crush on Colby Keller until he chose to subject everyone to his political naivety and intellectual weakness. I also have a crush on Eliad Cohen (as a Jew, nothing is sexier to me than a Jewish man), especially as he champions the inclusion of Gay Mizrahi Jews (Jews from Arabic speaking countries rather than Ashkinaz, or Sephardic Jews).
Texasholdem
Eliad is dating Aaron Shock so that’s as bad as Colby Keller’s politics

Matt Ramsey. Cousins was my gateway to gay porn. Saw it in adult theater in Hollywood in my 20’s

I grew up in rural America in pre-Internet days and the only porn available was straight porn at the local video stores. My crushes were Mike Horner, Peter North, TT Boy and Jeff Stryker (who was doing straight porn then) and later Jack Venice. They finally started carrying gay titles, which -surprise! – proved to be popular.
Terrycloth
Long before Wiill8am Higgins went totally Euro.he had made classic after classic. Rear Deliveries , Pizza Boy he Delivers ,the young and the Hung, cousins should do it etc..Jon King , David Brown , Kevin Williams , long list of great guys and classic porn.
linedrive
Zak Spears and Jack Simmons. Not sure I d call it a crush but I certainly fantasized about both of them a LOT. Yeah it was probably a crush.
v6origal97
When I was in high school, Josh Elliott was my DREAM.
cheks
I never took the time to learn anyone’s name. I grew up with a lot of shame around sex and porn. Luckily I’ve gotten past most of that, and now I do have a few favorites. But the one I’ve definitely gotten into the most and follow on Instagram is Will Angell. He’s fantastic!
fraziercole
OK, showing my age here, but Zak Spears and Trent Reed (who was with Hot House). Lots of spank hours with those two dreamy dicks.
BaltoSteve
Not sure I can pick one, since I can’t tell you which I saw first. However the three for me are Sebastian Rivers, Dean Maxwell, and Blake Harper. Funny thing, used to see Sebastian a lot in the Clubs.
rover4x
hmm, who made the list? is this a promo. there are ton’s other hot looking xxx guys on twitter.

I lusted after Al Parker as a teenager. Imagine my surprise several years later when I met him at a sex club in Los Angeles. He did not disappoint.
Doug
Jon King and Leo Ford. I watched everything they were in.
Huron132
Ok, my actual first porn crush was Jeff Stryker. Then I met him in person and he was so little. But the porn crush I have that everytime I see them I just get googly eyes is Colby Keller and Adam Russo. I remember Colby’s first vid was his sl at SeanCody. I just thought how cute and perfect he was. Then he let all his fur and beard grow and I was sold! The first time I seen Adam was a vid where his nephew wanted him. Adam just dominated him and I was so jealous. I wanted Adam to use me so bad! Ok that was fun telling this!
LunaSol2010
70’s 80’s first muscle Italian type BRUNO! First gay muscle with muscular definition. He filled gyms from his great sexy image as the first Huirsute Bear in gay porn. Still a stunningly handsome guy as senior citizen. Broke up with partner after 30 years and people jumped to want to have a touch!!!!
He is the best. Very sweet guy, genuine person when I met him in LA club many many years ago.
Aaron
Matthew Rush from Falcon
svustabler
Mine too! Loved him in everything he did! Still remember the first movie of his I ever saw. It was Hazed and he was just in shoulder pads, a jock, shoes and cleats.
David
This will date me, my first crush was Al Parker.
Inspector 57
Oops! I forgot Dave Connors and Chad Johnson. (Well before my crushes on Alec Martinez and Mike Lamas, I guess.)
Aaron
Yeah, this list is very white. Le sigh.
Kangol2
It’s Queerty, honety, did you expect any less? Though the first person to post listed Diablito/Midnight of the Latino Fan Club (I always like Alejandro), so there’s that. Like I said, I’d have to say Tiger Tyson. There’ll never be another!
DCFarmboy
I remember the early Czech porn — gymnast bodies with nice fluffy pubes.
CityguyUSA
Joey Stephano!!!! I miss you!
The real Bruce
Jim Bentley. I worked with him a few years before he got into porn. He was very honest and sweet. I sure wanted to take him home and …….! As a porn actor he’s versatile, has a good body and knows how to use his assets, top and bottom.
loveagape3
jim bentley al parker joe simmons and gene lamar…
The real Bruce
I forgot to add that now I really like Diego Sans. There’s a scene he does with Shawn Abir that is incendiary! Shawn is pretty hot too. Another scene with Adam Archuleta that is also pretty hot. Adam is sexy and versatile on his own as well. Yummy!
