I last ran into Michael on Castro Street in the very early ’90s, with his hair then shoulder-length. ”As huggable as the little panda bear tattooed on his groin, Puerto Rico-born Tony (real name, Michael) was a genuine delight to work with: first alone for A-MEN (getting the cover) the second time with his real-life partner, Christopher Benson, again for A-MEN (racking up another cover, consequently) then recreating the Bravo-Benson magazine spread for the premier ‘A-MEN Live!’ and finally with me privately (post LPI) in S.F., for my never-finished book and video projects. It is doubtful whether many of today’s men in gay porn or as models will be remembered in the same way as the Classic men of the Golden Age of gay porn with the same reverence, admiration or worship in the same way.Known Aliases / aka: Tony Bello, Tony Bellos Most today who appear in the industry are, however, largely an army of Nomads who drift in and out as cum today gone tomorrow performers.

The gay porn industry in the main is an army of men who have their bodies covered with tattoos from head to foot, and most look pretty gross, although there others such as to be lusted after, Logan McCree, who is a Sweetie with a brain and looks delicious as an Ambassador of good design and done with thought for his body. There here are some stars of the future of recent times such as black hunk, Roman Wright, the delicious Tommy Defendi and adorable Jimmy Fanz and others from just a platoon of very special men who will become Classic Men of tomorrow in the same way that those such as the only gay porn superstar, Casey Donovan, and other stars, Al Parker, Bruno, Roger, Jon and JW King, John Davenport, Eric and Jeff Stryker, and the many more from the 1970’s, ’80’s and ’90’s will be remembered. Today, there are very few men I would consider to be genuine “Gay Porn Stars” as the industry has been infected with a great many mediocre “performers” rather than stars who happen to be allegedly reinventing themselves as “straight” (is this the new gay persona, I wonder?), or are Bisexual that makes us a great many acting in gay porn films today or bringing the industry to it’s feet with dreaded online “studios” such as Jake Cruse debasing the industry with more Gay-for-Pay” men bringing the industry down to a base level. I have written literally hundreds –including Eric Hanson, Colt favourite, Tag Adams, Andre Bolla, Tom Chase, and many more. The 1990’s also offered us also some Icons and Legends such as Aiden Shaw, Colby Taylor, Bobby Blake, Sam Crocket, Steve Fox, Ray Harley, Blake Harper, Jason Branch, Jack Simmons … and many more of whom I have written Bios about and/or had contact with writing for both pre and post 2000 groups I co-own and have moderated since 2007. The Golden Age of gay porn is thought by Historians of the industry and fans of “Vintage” gay porn to have been the 1970’s and ’80’s – when (how the mighty have now fallen) studio Colt was at the top of the tree – the stable for Beefcake Stallion models and porn stars – once owned and controlled by iconic photographic artist and legend, Jim French.
