Who was your teenage crush (the guy that made you realize you REALLY liked guys) ?

[Kippy]

I'm reading this thread with such interest and an awareness of how hard I worked to suppress my feelings as a teenager and young adult. I can look back and recognize times when I avoided acknowledging attraction, or even interest, in other guys, but in the moment my denial was so strong I wouldn't have ever admitted any such feelings. I was so determined NOT to be attracted to other guys that I can't think of examples back then when I let my mind go there. I had teammates and friends I wasn't comfortable showering with, and I now can see that it was because of how they made me feel, it was confusing at best so I avoided it. Celebrities who might have turned me on I just didn't look at. At a high school party someone had porn on VHS, straight porn but I remember seeing an erect dick for the first time and leaving because it "grossed me out," but of course it didn't really.

 

So no teenage crushes here, just a lot of effort to pretend I wasn't interested, mostly to myself. For me the realization started later, as a young father with my kids at the playground, when I let my guard down and began to bond with other young dads. One became a buddy and I'd be deeply disappointed when he didn't show up. But the truth was unavoidable when my kids started T-ball. There was a dad I kept looking at, and one day he took his shirt off and I got hard. I made friends with him and used to sit with him, often hiding a boner. One day, home alone, I jerked off thinking about him, and after that had to admit to myself that I was at least bi-curious. The journey took a long time after that but that was when I first acknowledged to myself what I'd been denying all along.

 

And now I'm hard-- thank you very much!

@BasketBaller reading your post rang so familiar to me; male friends were so important to me before, in my early 50s, I began the process of exploring my sexuality; thank you for reminding me; and

 

@Muscle Lover 2 YES! the Sears catalog male underwear section was so intriguing; when it arrived it was quite a day!!!

You're right! An oversight, no doubt. But I was out of my teens and well on my way to dirty-old-manhood by the time he came along. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

Yes, I know I'm old!

 

I was born in 1940 and he died in 1955, I knew I was gay before many of yinz found out.

 

 

His performance in "Rebel Without a Cause" ( what a great title) electrified me. And I fell in love. Can't think of him without wondering what greatness we lost with his untimely death. A beautiful male!

I was also very hot for the wrestling Brisco brothers:

And for this hot number, who I saw in person:

This is Argentina Apollo, famous for his flying dropkick.

Wow! You saw Argentina Apollo in person?

 

What was he like?

 

He created all of my masturbation fantasies and initiated my lifelong foot and leg fetish.

 

What a shame that almost all of his television matches don't seem to be available on DVD or Youtube..except a few.

Unfortunately, Jan Michael did not age well.

The guys I'd posted about with pics above are some years older than I - it was a film phase I was going through as a young teen. They did, so to speak, crank my tractor. I will say one of the fellows that got my tractor going (other than my college fuck-buddy) was Jeff Aquilon, the "first" male super model. Wow! IMHO.

Remembered him as I was looking for samples of Bruce Weber's work I posted in the Gallery thread The Photographer.

 

Jeff Aquilon.....

However a hunk I liked in my early days-- more the reruns in the late 60's to the early 70's rather than the initial run-- was Lee Majors as Heath Barkley. Was an episode of the Big Valley ever complete without Heath being captured and having his shirt ripped off?

Although this picture is from The Fall Guy a few years later and not The Big Valley-- Mr. Majors still looks great.

I remember watching reruns of "The Big Valley" as a kid in the 1970s, and there was an episode where Heath was in a Mexican prison. The episode ended with Heath being stripped of his shirt, tied to a wall, and whipped:

I remember how excited I was, and I didn't understand why. Then I was frustrated when it cut to a commercial.

 

As @Gar1eth said (some time ago), Heath was shirtless often in "The Big Valley." The reruns were almost like soft porn for a kid growing up in the South who had this attraction that he didn't understand.

 

While looking for the above screen cap, I found this:

I don't think this was from "The Big Valley," but it looks like it could have been. I wonder if there are any other shots of Mr. Majors being tied up and whipped?

The first uncut guy I saw in the showers in middle school. I even remember his name. I still drool over the memory.

Oh, those middle school showers.

 

There was a drummer in the band I was absolutely in lust with. Marching down the street behind him in his tight jeans I'd just plotz over his firm, round butt. Then I saw him in the showers and his dick seemed to hang down to his knees. (Short guy so it wasn't that far, but still.)

 

Middle school showers are a melting pot. Some guys are still children and some are well enough through puberty to be men.

 

The memories are still vivid 50 years later.

I remember one guy making fun of me for having a few chest hairs in 8th or 9th grade.

 

The funny thing for me unless I'm repressing my memories is that as one of the fat unathletic kids (some things never change-sigh), my main memories of PE showers is that I wanted to avoid them. I think I surreptitiously looked at a few of the guys, but I honestly don't remember ever being worried about getting a stiffy maybe because major embarrassment was a sure-fire boner killer.

 

And while I had to take them occasionally in junior high (almost all the time in 7th grade less in 8th and 9th), I don't ever remember taking them in high school.
