'80s Hunks

Can you imagine how much sex he had back then?

Robert Rusler

Billy Hufsey:

William Zabka has aged into a very hot daddy now.

80s hair and clothing had an amazing ability to neutralize sex appeal.

Miles O'Keefe

....

Scott Bacula

Pete Koch

Tom Selleck.

Lee Montgomery.

Hot daddy now!

Gregory Harrison

John S

Brett Michaels?

One of the enduring sex symbols of the era, presented without comment.

Gorgeous Sasha Mitchell (Dallas, Kickboxer, Step by Step)

Rick Rossovich, the hottest man in TOP GUN...

More Rick...

DISCIPLE OF XENU!

Rick then and now. Why didn't he have a bigger career?

That body was sculpted by the GAWDS!

Matt Dillon

I would have said Tim Daly. And those Rick Rossovich pics reminded me how they both starred in a supernatural thriller called "Spellbinder", alongside Kelly Preston.

Ra Blow

Ted McGinley in his Dynasty prime.

Bruce Willis?

Tim Daly was always handsome, but he always has a "just okay" body. Never great. (Steven Webber, his WINGS co-star, had a better body during that run.) Tim was primarily "a face guy."

I always knew he was straight, because my assumption back then was that if he were actually gay, he'd have more of a "gym body." The 80s raised the stakes for men, because the growing expectation was that hunks would have both body and face.

R1 back off, sister. He’s mine.

I think Tim must have put the effort in for "Spellbinder" because he had a few shirtless scenes and pretty good abs. He still looked good well into his forties, here in The Fugitive.

Tim Daily is beautiful. It really messed with my head when I found out who his sister is. It just threw me.

Whoops. Daly.

R2 Robert was so crazy hot

Adrian Zmed

Harry Hamlin Rinna

Who’s the boss?

R28, I was madly in love with Bruce Willis when "Moonlighting" first debuted. It was only later after finding out he was a Rethug douchebag that my opinion completely changed.

The hamster master

Adolph

A Greek demigod

Jon-Erik Hexum

I've always thought that Rick Rossovich looks like Matt Battaglia.

Hexum owns this thread...

Johnny Depp might have owned this thread if he hadn’t aged in public view.

The Beastmaster, a/k/a Marc Singer.

This movie was on tv at least once a week in the 80s.

The 'Hot men Industry' was new in the 1980s.

It was naive, unsophisticated and set a lower standard that we would accept today.

They didn't have Photoshop back in those days.

[Quote] Tim Daily is beautiful. It really messed with my head when I found out who his sister is.

Who is his sister?

I can't post links but Lee Montgomery from Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Tyne Daly, R49

John Terlesky.

I love Tyne Daly by the way. It just threw me to learn that they are siblings and that Tim is the himbo half of the pair, with Tyne being an unusually asexual female character actress.

Their dad was gay and when he died the Dalys kicked his partner to the curb.

bump

R11 Oh no!

More Matt......

R29- Tim Daley is GAY and his sister Tyne is a LESBO.

I'm Whip Hubley as "Hollywood" in TOP GUN. And like RIck, I'm way hotter than either of the lead actors.

R21 that is the literal sexiest moment in Top Gun

Sly Stallone

My favorite was from the movie actually titled HUNK.

John Allen Nelson was on some soaps, a DEATHSTALKER and BAYWATCH, too. Plus the cult classic KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (!).

Rick was and remains hot as hell. He was sexy because he wasn't arrogant or made it obvious that he knew he was hot. He could also play a lovable doofus which only made him sexier.

He has a great body but he seems naturally athletic. I love watching him in The Terminator in his briefs. When Arnie is throwing him around - so hot!

Johnny Depp and Rob Lowe are / were waifs.

They're not and have never been "hunks."

Clayton Rohner (I just learned his name) made me feel a certain way as a kid in the trans classic “Just One of the Guys.”

Carl Weathers

Lou Ferrigno

Jean-Claude Van Damme

I just now rented Rumble Fish because I wanted to see a young Dillon! He’s so purty!

I don't know how we got to 70 posts without the quintessential Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Christopher Reeve

Michael Biehn in The Fan, The Terminator and Aliens.

Right, DL has already revisited Michael Biehn to death this year.

Taimak was gorgeous in THE LAST DRAGON.

Then his face went to seed.

Kevin Spirtas from FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 7 stepped on to the screen in cutoffs and gave me chills!

Thom Mathews of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 6 should have stripped nekid!

CREEPSHOW 2 hunks Paul Satterfield ...

... and David Beecroft.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT's Robert Brian Wilson:

Then there's ELM STREET 4's Danny Hassel, "one major-league hunk."

Honestly, the OP would like our "Hot men in horror films" thread.

There was Michael Schoeffling, the guy who played "Jake" in 16 CANDLES.

I can't believe nobody mentioned DL fave Steven Antin, who gave Zabka a run for his money for the title of "80s Movie Bully."

If Jon Erik Hexum "owns this thread," how come nobody posted a picture of his glorious physique?

Dolph Lundgren also deserves a better photo.

I was into Christopher Atkins.

Olivia Newton John was right to snatch up Matt Latanzi.

Anyone remember bodybuilder James Dietz, who played "Buck" in Madonna's WHO'S THAT GIRL?

Phuck yeah.

Of course Flash Gordon and PLAYGIRL model Sam Jones:

[quote] Tim Daily is beautiful. It really messed with my head when I found out who his sister is. It just threw me.

My first introduction to Tim Daly was in the Judith Krantz miniseries I’ll Take Manhattan, sry in the cutthroat world of magazine publishing.

Tim was the eldest son, older brother to the heroine Maxi Amberville, played by legend Valerie Bertinelli. Tim’s character is affected by the tragic condition of BSB, blockbuster spontaneous blindness, and becomes tragically blind. But his blindness allows him to fall in love with Maxi’s best friend, India West, the most beautiful film star in the world, played by Julianne Moore. Tim’s blindness means he sees India for the person she really is, and not just her beauty. So heartfelt.

He also appears shirtless in it.

"Their dad was gay and when he died the Dalys kicked his partner to the curb."

No. The mom wanted her ex-husbands and tried to sue for it.

The kids testified in favor of the partner, the actor Daniel Travanti.

You could make the argument that Travanti himself was an 80's hunk.

I mean, I wouldn't, but different strokes...

Speaking of which, here is a random photo of Gary Coleman to confuse the people just looking at the pics on this thread,

Well, hello!

Does this hunk of a woman have a place here?

Aidan Quinn.

Daniel J "Hill Street Blues" Travanti was the late James Daly's lover? Wow. That's the first time I've heard that.

[quote]According to his son Tim Daly during an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning, James Daly came out to Tim as gay a decade after divorcing his wife Hope. His struggle to come to terms with his sexual orientation nearly put a rift between him and his family. As homosexuality was still considered a mental illness until the early 1970s, he and his wife tried and failed at "curing" him. After their divorce, Daly decided to limit his contact with his children out of fear that they would end up mentally ill themselves.

Even on DL, we often forget just how bad and unenlightened times were a few decades back. Pop culture nostalgia is a lot of fun, but we shouldn't lose sight of the larger historical context. I cherish my adolescent memories of 80s hunks, for example, but I remember what a truly terrible time it was to be a young gay kid.

Post us a picture of Daniel Travanti, r92!

Duh.

r91 is why I love DL.

R95, just say it - AIDS/Regan

Daniel J. Travanti in his Hill Street Blues hey day.

Travanti at a network stars competition.

A recent pic of Travanti. He generally plays villians now.

Sometimes actor and Chippendales calendar boy Greg Bradford

Soloflex Guy!

Scott Madsen. Soloflex Guy. Nice shorts!

Tom Hintnaus. First CK underwear model.

Joe Penny

Tom Berenger

[quote]My favorite was from the movie actually titled HUNK.

LOL - r62, I loved that movie.

What kind of undies are those at R33?

Those are girlie gitch loosey goosies R109? Did nobody go to the gym in the 1980s? There are 3 pics on this thread that I find attractive. That Hexum guy and Gregory Harrison and the dude in the speedo. Arnold was just grotesque. All the rest of them need to hit the gym and build up some chest and leg muscle.

WEHT Grant Cramer?

Fuck yeah.

What was Grant Cramer in?

Here's a free bootleg of HUNK on Youtube for all to watch, starring the gorgeous John Allen Nelson and gay icon James Coco!

Jon Erik owns every 80s hunk thread Because he was perfection, but I’m adding Greg Evigan (the BJ and the Bear years).

closet queer tom selleck and thief????

Bruce weber the one sued for sex harassment by sum models?

Bo Jackson

Greg Louganis

Daniel Travanti--and this isn't even the hottest pic.

Chris Durham

Rick Edwards

R119 Looks like Albert Brooks

Is Lee Montgomery dying? He was so cute in the 80s.

I think I've had my fill of Daniel Travanti.

Billy Warlock

Gregory Harrison

Oh, yes, I remember Grant Cramer from HARDBODIES and KILLER KLOWNS is a campy classic.

DL also has a lot of FACTS OF LIFE freaks.

Josh Brolin, of course.

Anyone remember Craig Sheffer?

His River can Run Through me!

And then there was Mitch Gaylord, who Lorded over my Gay ass.

I've seen ZAPPED!, GREASE and some FACTS OF LIVES, but I don't remember Greg Bradford from them.

Sasha Mitchell was hot in the KICKBOXER movies.

Jeff Stryker

And he can still shred it up as an old man!

And I've got plenty more where that came from.

And there're plenty more.....

Ok, where’s the “more”? You posted the same pic twice.

Russell Todd

Before Gregory Harrison was a successful actor, he had to perform as a stripper. For ladies only.

R137, sorry, alright?

There are rumors that sexual harrassment/assault allegations (around the time of STEP BY STEP) ended Sasha Mitchell's career pretty abruptly. He was no actor, but he was fun to look at back then.

"Secret Admirer" starred an adorable young C Thomas Howell alongside convicted felon Lori Loughlin.

And the recently deceased Kelly Preston.

Ah, youth.

Steven Bauer

John Matuszak

Michael Dudikoff ❤️

J. Eddie Peck

Allan Kayser

Dan Gauthier

Pat Peterson in this manly pose.

Maxwell Caulfield

Scott Strader from the cheapo '86 sex comedy JOCKS. In this episode of GImme A Break, he was poured into jeans so tight that they showed off every curve, bulge and crevice. Starts at the 4:30 mark...

Ken Olandt

Peter DeLuise was WAY hotter than Johnny Depp

...and so was Richard Grieco

154 posts an no one mentions Jason Gedrick? B movie hunk and fap man o my dreams??

I had a thing for John D. LeMay from FRIDAY THE 13th: THE SERIES.

Brian Bloom!!

Jon Hensley, one of the hottest guys ever to grace a soap.

Where are they now?

Steve Antin

Olympic swimmer Steve Lundquist

Todd Hallowell aka Jeff, Tootie's on again-off again boyfriend on The Facts of Life

Tom Byrd

Patrick Duffy on DALLAS

Yuji Okumoto

LDP...

R89...I SO SO REMEMBER BODYBUILDER ACTOR JAMES DIETZ FROM 'WHO'S THAT GIRL" MOVIE! i remember going back a bunch of times to see that movie just for his shirtless scene as dumb but full of cum character BUCK!... he also was in the weathergirls music video "it's raining men" (he was the stud in the green speedo), ... also in the movie "hot resort" where the running joke is his character is always having sex with his woman anywhere at the resort... great great scene of him in a car with his woman showing him fully nude in side profile between her legs!...

i wonder if dan gauthier and john terlesky have to fight each other over roles...since they were the same type?...

R102... so so pretty greg bradford!.... he also played blair's hot sex on a stick boyfriend in the first season of "the facts of life"..

REMEMBER THE BLONDE "CONAN" stud in the movie "where the boys are 84" anyone!? animal print bikini! oh yeah! ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY i actually prefer the dark brown haired better built and handsomer bodybuilder in the white speedo dancing in the "hot bod contest" ! damn he was fine!...

R162, I read your comment and for some reason “Tootie” has made me start laughing and I laugh every time I think of her name. Just one of those things that hits you sometimes. Why the hell was she called Tootie? I think I remember her name was Frances but nickname was Tootie.

What’s hot is the muscle guys. Most of them look like they got Their physique from working out I’m the field house.

There are exceptions. Swimmers and guys with the right genes. The rest look like they were on a simple regimen that they just pushed hard. Not like the perfect little gym bunnies that have become so ubiquitous these days.

In the field house.

80s model Cameron Alborzian, most widely known for appearing in Madonna’s Express Yourself video. Now a married (to a woman) yoga instructor.

A God.

[quote]Why the hell was she called Tootie?

I think they explained it in season 1 that she was so chatty and gossipy that she tooted like a horn. Hence, "Tootie."

Marc "The Beastmaster" Singer

R151: The casting director of that show was gay. He later sued the producers of [italic]The X-Files[/italic] for discrimination.

R151... he's so so YUMMY! .... love that thick feathered mane of hair and his chiseled face... such a "pretty boy" and oh i wish society would return to snug if not spray painted jeans on men look from the 80's!...

Hart Bochner

Lou Diamond Phillips

Thank you R165 I didn't think anyone else appreciated how beautiful he was. When he took his shirt off and threw it to the girl any question regardingmy sexuality was answered!

Nope, r155.

Nobody knows who that is.

r84 already covered Steve Antin, r160.

Find a horizontal beefcake pic for him if you're going to repeat.

We've already done Marc Singer.

Michael Beck had his fans.

R183 Looks like Andy Gibb

the chippendales of the 80's when you HAD to be gorgeous in the face....

the golden era of male bodybuilders in the 80's (and seeped into the 90's) when 9 out of 10 bodybuilders were breathtakingly handsome in the face..

Perry King, one of my early 80s crushes. A TV Guide cover on which he appeared was part of my adolescent jerk off stash.

Mitch Gaylord, talented gymnast and untalented actor. Hell, the entire 1984 men’s gymnastics team was hot

Simon Le Bon

Whoever these guys were from the Chicago International Film Festival. This was from around '83 or '84.

I don't think of Simon Le Bon as a "hunk."

More of a pussy. NOT ... that there's anything wrong with that.

Alex McArthur, Michael Biehn

Michael Bowen (Valley Girl, Private Resort, Less Than Zero) was a hot stud who always played a jerk (still does, even as an older character actor). Trivia: he’s half-brother to Keith and Robert Carradine, as they all three have the same mother.

R175, Randy Stone was married to Barbra Streisand's sister for five years. I wonder if she knew he was gay.

With all the talk of Jon Erik-Hexum, no mention yet of Antony Hamilton? Apparently he was quite the voracious bottom, based on the gossip here.

r180 - Jason Gedrick was hot as fuck - he was even in Backdraft.

Alec Baldwin may be a pig now, but he was hot as fuck in the 80’s

Love the shorts

Joshua!

Todd Allen. An unsung ‘80s hunk. Was in Mask, Witchboard and Uncommon Valor. The cowboy in him prompted him to drop out of St. Elmo’s Fire to appear in Silverado.

I forgot how white the 80s were

Michael Woods

I had a huge crush on Phil Morris who was on the 1988 reboot of Mission Impossible.

Love the scene in Lady Beware when hottie Michael Woods is masturbating while talking to Diane Lane over the phone.

R201 and R203... oh, i so so hear you on michael woods! man was he sexy as hell! the perfect "man's man" devilishly handsome, sexy smile, hairy chested fit body !! so dreamy he was!

and i love the masturbation scene in "lady beware" and don't forget the scene where he is hard in his snug jeans and rubs up against diane lane's character ass on that crowded bus! so deliciously wicked and pervy! both scenes are masturbation yourself worthy!..

William Hurt. Not your typical hunk of the day but I thought he was gorgeous and fell in love.

[quote] and don't forget the scene where he is hard in his snug jeans and rubs up against diane lane's character ass on that crowded bus! so deliciously wicked and pervy! both scenes are masturbation yourself worthy!..

Oh yes, that scene is fuckin' hot too. I would have given in to him if I was her, creepy and pervy or not.

Alec Baldwin got his start at Studio 54!

All the apocalyptic realness of 2020 has me longing for Lord Humungus of THE ROAD WARRIOR!

Confused queens on the FRIGHT NIGHT thread recently brought up the swole saxophonist Timmy Cappello, from Tina Turner and LOST BOYS fame:

Rick Hill, the first Deathstalker, was hot.

The guy in the Voices Carry video.

R211 i dont remember that handsome guy from the video. Not in keeping with the New Wave look but very handsome

"I'm SO glad the band's doing well." He snark is classic DL.

^his

r207 ON ALL FOURS!!!

The guy in the Voices Carry video.

There are hunkier pics of Grieco in his prime.

I may have knocked one out to the guy in the soloflex infomercial when I was a tween.

That infomercial is a classic!

Young Morten Harket from A-ha could take on me...

Those Soloflex commercials were like soft core porn, from the sets to the music, the cinematography and of course the two hunky red shorts-wearing Soloflex guys, Scott Madsen and Randy Potter.

ALL THE HOMOEROTIC "sword and sandals" movies of the 80's.... the paul brother twins (the barbarians movie), dolph lundgren in "he-man" , lou ferrigno in those hercules movies and his sinbad moviesand the other b-level movies of this genre, including carl weathers being total eye candy served up....

countless soap opera hunks who were allowed to wear speedos and bikinis and salivated over in scenes and dialogues (how did we go from that to how it is now?)...

sex on a stick mexican cinema sex god JORGE RIVERO!...

Ken Olandt

Zabka has aged well. He was too preppy and smug looking. He looks good in Cobra Kai.

R223, meet R152.

R225, meet rapey-boy Derek Stuart.

I hate repeating these stories and names like we've done on a thousand threads before.

But I want to watch this clip of Ken Olandt stripping in SUMMER SCHOOL again.

Olandt played the guy who raped Judy Hoffs on 21 Jumpstreet as well. I guess he was starting to be typecast.

r227 We supposed to believe he's 17 though?

Mark Harmon in Summer School is the ultimate 80s hunk in my mind - good looking and stupid! Nice legs on display through the entire film and a couple shots of the feets! He’s never been much of an actor but he looked particularly pretty in this one.

IN REGARDS TO SUMMER SCHOOL.. Mark harmon looked handsome in the face, but his body was MEH!.. surprisingly since he was a college football star... no muscles at all?

ken olandt was so so sexy as the stripper, those moves and his bulge in red thong! like the scene where the older blonde milf puts her cash down the front of his g-string and he gasps! wonder if his character also was a escort/gigolo screwing these women old enough to be his mother? was that the implication we were suppose to think because of this scene of him and that woman?

speaking of 80's hunks, "where the boys are 84"..... ALL THE ATTENTION was on the blond actor who played CONAN in his animal print bikini, but I actually prefer the dark brown haired bodybuilder in the white bikini in the hot bod contest! he was GORGEOUS and what a sexy dark tanned muscular body too!...and i love how he shook his ass too!

Press "play," r225.

R204 what? He was gross in that movie. Drunk Ben Affleck vibes.

^Gross is in the eye of the beholder. Woods was walking sex in that flick.

Did any of them turn out to be gay?

Zabka actually gives me downlow energy. Anyone else?

R234.. yeah he was! big michael woods fan! just seeing his handsome face and manner in that omen part whatever it was number movie was enough for me!....

We were supposed to think Ken Olandt was fucking some of his fans in SUMMER SCHOOL, yes.

But the women wouldn't pay him anymore than the tips for his dancing during the show. There may be some kept boy/ sugar mamaíng going on, but women don't pay for sex. Most of them feel it's too degrading.

However, they will have casual sex with famous, charismatic or rich and powerful men as fans; maybe even trying to snare them as boyfriends.

Real Chippendales strippers have lifestyles like rock stars or athletes where they pick up fans and groupies at shows. If the men weren't famous and perceived as having money, the women wouldn't throw themselves at them. But get hundreds of people stanning for a man and a woman will take an interest.

I know straight guys who Chippendance and they party like rock stars.

R238... very interesting post of yours... makes me wonder which chippendale/chippendales back in the day were the biggest male whores? who would literally screw anything from 18 to 80 because "it's just sex" and "hey, if the young nympho or really old horny broad wants it, why not" mentality?....

personally i love to think there WAS actually a woman or more than 1 woman who slept with tons of the chippendales dancers back in the day as a kinky wicked "power trip" of hers! to say she "had them" and a bunch of them! surely such a woman existed?! I also wonder if these guys never thought about the fact that THEY WERE THE ONES seduced and "captured/conquered" by such a woman/women?...

Legendary straight porn stars Colt Steele and Mark Davis danced for Chippendales in the ‘80s.

[quote]Mark harmon looked handsome in the face, but his body was MEH!.. surprisingly since he was a college football star... no muscles at all?

Typical 80's skinny-fat. Too much cocaine. Not enough strength training.

I don't know, r239.

I don't know of any lady who married a Chippendale's dancer and lived Happily Ever After. Or had a "significant othership" with one. Especially if she started as a fan / guest.

Women want monogamy and they know strippers are a young, slutty man's game. They know the guys are there to fuck around with a lot of women like rock stars. So maybe they're good for a ride or the novelty to most female fans.

R242... well no one is saying about these women marrying or having a relationship with any of the chippendales (by the way i'm talking about the great heyday of the chippendale men of the 80's and 90's NOT today's version)... i was just pondering surely there were the women fans who LIVED to screw as many as they could and getting off on the power trip of having "had" them........ and these men not realizing it was them that were seduced, captured, conquered and HAD by such a woman/women... surely there was a woman or two back in the day who did have a sex life like this and who could claim a huge black book of conquests of chippendales...

LOVE LOVE this, it's a turn on for me to think about and surely it has to have been true...i mean for that era, the chippendale men were seen as THEE EPITOME Of male beauty, sexuality and sexiness, for a woman to have made it her sexual life and turn on goal to get as many as she could in her bed i would think would be the ultimate turn on and power trip for such a woman because of who these men were and what they represented beyond their great looks and bodies...

R240.. and we know that charles dera did and does full on hardcore straight porn and one of the greatest chippendales of all time, the big hairy musclebound handsome as hell early 80's chippendale sam cupae did porn using names like sam cooper for instance...

other then that, i think all the chippendales retired to do quote "normal jobs" after the stripping, posing for playgirl and whatever else to do with their looks and sexuality and bodies ended...

I know Ken - very nice guy, very straight.

Saw him in the post office when he was middle aged. In person, BETTER looking and very kind, friendly seeming.

[quote]I know Ken - very nice guy, very straight.

How do you know him?

Lee Horsley

Geoffrey Scott

[quote]Geoffrey Scott

. . . or Mandy Patinkin?

Kyle MacLachlan. I don’t think he’s been mentioned yet.

On second thought, that photo makes him look like he has pink eye. This one is a little better photo of “Paul Atreides”.

R248... loved me some lee horsley! although i think people considered him at the time the "poor man's tom selleck"... he was so hot, not much of a body though unfortunately...

R249... oh yeah, hell yeah, geoffrey scott on "dynasty".. so so handsome... loved how alexis tried to stir up trouble between krystal and blake by bringing him, krystal's first husband, to denver and then when it didn't seem that was going to work out, she alexis decided to have him in her bed and screw him 24/7 as her stud! and he eventually became her "man friday" catering to her every whim..

i distinctly remember the episode where fallon who was interested in mark jennings (g.scott) knocking on his door of La Mirage wanting to talk to him not knowing her mother is in bed with him! when she gives up and walks away, alexis and mark go at it again and the LOOK ON ALEXIS (JOAN COLLINS) FACE as he is on top of her and about to begin screwing her is TOTALLY EROTIC SEXY! as she wraps her arms around his back,she smirks and slyly grins in ecstasy like the cat who ate the canary, with the expression of "i got him again!" power trip capture conquer satisfaction!...great masturbation material (at least for me!).. thank goodness i have this episode and scene on dvd...

R246, I've had a crush on Keith Carradine ever since this scene in "Nashville." Wow, so he's even better looking in person, and great to know he seemed friendly and approachable.

Nicholas Clay. Excalibur, Alexander the Great on PBS, and his infamous speedo in Evil under the Sun

I love how GAY most of these men look. And why not? But goes to shows, over and over again GAYS ARE ATTRACTED TO GAYS or gay LOOKING men.

That NONSENSE that gays are all after straight men is utter bullshit.

[quote] Typical 80's skinny-fat. Too much cocaine. Not enough strength training.

What a dumb thing to say. Harmon did not have the designer muscles from working out in the gym a model would have. He had an athlete's body with the right muscles for his sport. And not an ounce of fat.

No, r243, women don't approach sex like men or want it as much.

[quote]GAYS ARE ATTRACTED TO GAYS or gay LOOKING men.

Not me. I’m not at all attracted to femme men, which none of these guys are.

A man doesn't have to look femme to look gay. You're obviously new to the gay world.

^Um, no. And what does “look gay” mean, specifically?

[quote]^Um, no.

You must be new here, but, for your further reference, it's considered very rude on DL to just point at a person in that way. I will not be pursuing this conversation further.

My clothes aren’t gay enough for mexican, so I’m off to get a gyro.

One of you dear people covered Aidan Quinn for me. The world is not totally lost. I need to do squats.

John James was a real fave of mine - and even hotter in real life. I saw him walk across the lobby of the Plaza Hotel in NY back then, and I was NOT disappointed.

R264 - gosh, I forgot all about John James. Thanks for reminding me!

What was John James' deal? He seemed pretty straight on DYNASTY, then I saw him interviewed a few years back. He was well-preserved but with peroxide blond hair.... and he pinged louder than an Ungaro frock and a basketful of parrots. PING!

R266, He's a Republican. There's your answer.

And he hit a wall quickly!

Joel Higgins - daddy hunk!

Yea or Nay? 🤔

R258.. perhaps MOST women don't act that way in their sexual life and mindset, but there are some who do, including those who attended chippendales shows back in the 80's and 90's, some ARE on the prowl and get off on the power trip aspect of having "had"a chippendale or two or three or many more...

just like they are women on the prowl for handsome built pro athletes and the best looking built bodybuilders at their gym....

R258 lives in a mental gayland - that can be the only place he's getting such information.

OK, r271. Name one.

And then tell us why you asked abut it if you already knew the answer.

R272 = accusing others of what he’s guilty of.

In the 80's, I was a little obsessed with model Chris Whalley.

I first saw him in the International Male catalogue, and I could hardly believe such a beautiful man existed.

He worked at Chippendale's as a stripper and appeared in one of their videos as the main attraction. They used to play this video at one of the bars I frequented, and whenever his scene came on, I couldn't take my eyes off him.

He popped up briefly in an episode of "Married with Children" (the one where Peg goes to the male strip club).

And I think he won Star Search one year as the male model, although I can't find any record of this.

In any case, it's funny how my tastes have changed over the years. I still think he was smoking hot back then, but way too much of a pretty boy to turn my crank nowadays.

In my mind, Tim Hintnaus' famous Calvin Klein billboard marked the turning point from the 70's aesthetic of the burly, hairy-chested man as the masculine ideal, to the smooth, hairless, lean muscled look which took over in the 80's.

I may be wrong (and I'm sure somebody here will tell me I am), but in my mind this photo is when it starts to shift.

Yeah, r276. A little before or a little Hintnaus and the CK pillar, I noticed how gay (and chest-hairless) GQ had become. It all started in this issue, which featured my modeling superstar for that part of the decade, Michael Ives. It was before we knew anything about AIDS. The Preppy Handbook would come out at the end of the year. I liked the clothes and I liked the men, especially Michael Ives.

Did somebody place an order for some 80's hunks?

Michael Ives is the guy in the lower right corner, yellow shorts and football.

Jack Scalia

He wasn't an athlete, but he played one on TV.

There should be an "ewww..." button. I would click it at r279.

And he could dance, too!

Maxwell Caulfield

Kip Winger

JFK Jr

R278... oh yeah, david hasselhoff during his KNIGHT RIDER days! i never watched the show that much back when it aired and i never thought much about him since, but lately on cable they have been showing re-runs of the show Knight Rider and i was STUNNED! he was gorgeous in the face back then! handsome chiseled tanned face, that big baby blue eyes, and so on....

R276 exactly. As a 1984 high school graduate, that shift to classical male beauty with smooth chest formed my sexual desires. To this day that’s how I like my men

Jameson Parker

Jeff Aquilon

Huey Lewis

Neil Giraldo

This magazine cover gave me instant wood as a teen!

This one too!

You fuckers will bring up that two years of hotness Steve Guttenberg’s butterface brought you. I know it.

If you insist!

Jon Hensley

Michael Praed

David Marshall Grant

Timothy Patrick Murphy

Stephen W Burns (240-Robert, The Thorn Birds). He and Timothy Patrick Murphy both died young from AIDS.

Paul Keenan

Vinny Testaverde

Pat Cash

In the 80's, he had the biggest, shapeliest thighs in tennis.

David Oliver

r294 I was six, but I remember it!

Crockett and Tubbs

Young Woody

Was Stephen W Burns gay? According to Wikipedia he contracted AIDS via a blood transfusion.

R305.. i think sexy johan kriek might give pat cash a run for his money on the legs and short shorts department! speaking of tennis hunks in the 80's, tim mayotte! oh yeah! i remember on ESPN they showed his NCAA championship victory and it was clear as day he was wearing a jockstrap and NOTHING ELSE Underneath his white see thru sweaty shorts! incredibly blatant and homoerotic it was!...

shlomo glickstein (now there's a name from the tennis past!) also had great big sexy legs too! and roscoe tanner (he of the 1970's and 80's was quite handsome)....

R310, well, according to this article, he lived in Silver Lake, had a cat named 'Svatch' for company (what? No girlfriend?), was writing a rock musical, and when he was 5 years old, he would stay up late to watch old Hollywood musicals.

Hunk and a half!

Some of you basic bitches are hard up.

I mean, Huey Lewis? Tony Danza? Steve Gutenberg? Daniel Travanti? Their lame artwork alone should turn you off. They're not hot, either.

Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson were at least on a good show. But they're NOT HOT.

Steve Gutenberg was sexy! Hairy chest, too.

I never cared for David Hasselhoff. But I did enjoy when bodybuilder Richard Brose used Kit's reflective surface to check out his own muscles:

The Gutes was NOT a butterface.

Bruce Greenwood

Steve Gutenberg is a cornball who always did corny artwork.

DEALBREAKER.

Gutenberg was a regular at the Playboy Mansion back in the day.

Replacement Dukes. With Cameltoe!

“Artwork”?

Todd McKee

R321.. oh yeah, loved me some "replacement" dukes..... CHIP MAYER WAS STUNNING!....strange that he passed away a few years ago at his age of "natural causes"?..... r.i.p.

speaking of Chip, Teri Copley tv star and pin up girl who jay bernstein tried to make into a modern marilyn was married to him ,Chip Mayer, AND 1980's/90's ultimate blond chippendale the one and only CHARLES WAHLHEIM! man, talk about ONE LUCKY LUCKY LADY! WHEW!..

Michael Pare from Eddie and the Cruisers. Not cute, not overly built but hot and hunky nonetheless.

Not cute? Michael Pare? Are you mad??

No, I'm not mad, r326. What I am is unclear. To me, Pare is hot and hot is better than cute, much better than cute. Zac Efron, for example, is cute but not hot. Pare is sizzling.

Sizzling! Now that, I can agree with. I still swear that this scene between him and Barbara Carrera is real. They're fucking. His orgasm face is a little too on the money.

R328... ole barbara carrera must "love it" hard on film! ... ever seen her scorching sex scene with hairy hunk back in the day armand assante in the movie "i, the jury"?!! wow, it's hot, as he is a hard thrusting beast, when his character clearly has already orgasmed into her puss , he still thrusts hard over and over almost violently into her ensuring the last moments of pleasure for him and her! and her face shown in closeup in closed half lidded eyes ecstasy... awesome straight like soft porn sex scene worthy of masturbation!...

SPEAKING OF 1980'S MOVIE SEX SCENES: the scorching scene between christopher atkins and leslie ann warren in the camp classic "a night in heaven"... you actually see his hard dick off to the side and his bush as she is removing his light tan corduroy pants!.. i've always wondered though in this scene as a viewer are we suppose to think as we are watching based on how the two character act as they are screwing that either A) he's so great a lover, this young stud and his erection is so awesome in her that is why she acts like a cat in heat and out of her mind with moaning pleasure

OR B) it's not so much him, his looks, his body or his erection and screwing skills, but more that she has been so so horny and lonely for so long that ANY DICK on ANY GUY would make her react this way?.... i've always wondered what a or b we are as the viewer suppose to think?...

p.s. looking back on this movie now the neglectful workaholic husband was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay handsomer, sexier and hotter then boyish christopher atkins! that man was a MAN and atkins a boy...

Thank you, r328. I have to be honest, I was bit turned on by that and sex scenes that have females don't usually do that for me.

Back before I knew I was gay, I considered Barbara Carrera to be my ideal woman. I even had a poster of her on my wall. I saw every shitty movie she made..."Embryo", "The Island of Dr. Moreau", "I, the Jury", etc.

We knew.

Galactica 1980

R330, that’s a lot of thinking. Just enjoy the show.

R335.... can't help it, i'm very analytical and wan to know the "truth" even in sex scenes...

I love that Michael Pare' sells 8x10's of his full frontal scene in Bad Moon at conventions to autograph

I had a huge crush on James Farentino from watching “Sins” and “Dynasty”. Mature man hunk!

Michael Pare was fucking sexy in Streets of Fire. Also loved the soundtrack.

Michael Pare was also HAF in "The Philadelphia Experiment."
