COLT Men

More Doug

Yowza.

Rear view

Spread eagled

Last for now.

He seems nice

I saw those photos as a teenager and I couldn't understand why all of their models had peanut sized balls. After learning about steroids, it all made sense.

I used to see him at the Gold's Gym in Hollywood. That place was out of control. If you went at 5am, it was all the studio executives and agents. If you went at 8am, you'd see the major celebs: Leo D, Lenny Kravitz, Mark Wahlberg and his crew, Morgan Freeman, Jodie Foster, etc. 10am and after? ALL the gay porn stars and fitness models, including the guy above Doug Perry.

Jim French was an artist

r7 I saw tons of Colt models as a teenager in the 70s and young adult in the 80s. I loved those men. I also couldn't understand why I never saw any black models. It would have meant the world to see a bit of myself reflected back among all of the images of beauty I was being sold as a young, horny gay man looking for validation, community, and acceptance at a crucial time in self-development. Things were different for teens trying to come out in the 70s, especially if you were a minority within a minority. Who could you go to? Who would welcome you? These magazines were often the first exposure to the gay community.

Colt also did not like bare feet. An interesting fetish unfulfilled.

OP? Did Doug ever do Pron?

Weren't they all straight?

Beautiful! Yes, tiny balls but great thighs and penis.

R13, many weren’t, there was hardcore stuff too

Thanks OP. Finding Colt in my teen years was a revelation. Still the best IMO. Tough to find on sites like pornhub. I think they have stridently retained paywalls etc. But damn. Some fine men.

Oh. And they had a spin off label called Buckshot. Amazing

OPs gurl has mushroom dick

A lot of the models had magnificent bodies but mediocre or mangled genitalia.

That cut dick looks like a badly drawn caricature of a real dick OP.

Remember the gorgeous John Pruitt? He's still around. Here's a blast from the past, and a couple of shots taken in the last several years of him at his son's athletic event. Straight apparently.

Bruno turned me gay, and is gay. Real estate in south florida

[quote]OP? Did Doug ever do Pron?

Not OP.

Doug Perry did one solo jerk off, but nothing else.

He is my favorite all-time old-time Colt model.

Well, here's a bit of entertainment - he seems to be fairly anti-trump.

So, I feel a lot less dirty wanting him. He's older, obviously, but still looking pretty gorgeous.

love them

beefy and beautiful

smolder

Another fav...Gavin Blake

Where did all the men go? Porn is nothing but twinks who spend a lot of time at the gym.

They were the home of the boulder butts.

R21 I did some search work on John Pruitt and he turned out really well post-porn. He's now an investment banker, and used to work at Goldman Sachs.

rusty jeffers did well too

rusty as a colt model

cal hardwick or what ever the silly name was

Rusty supposedly wasn't gay.

just like all bodybuilders, right?

Today's Instahos and Tik Tok freakezoids aren't fit to hold these guys jocks.

franco corelli

Rick Wolfmyer

These guys used to make me shiver in . . . masturbation.

My favorite...Tony Ganz

So handsome

Rick Wolfmier and Mike Betts

I spilled gallons of sperm jacking off to Colt men. The best men and no one comes close Colt after all these years. Very high standards.

Back in the 90s when you had to download porn as binary files and then run them through a converter program to see the picture, I came across a Colt model that I've been searching for ever since. I don't know his name. But I remember in his pics, he had a boyish face, was wearing a baseball cap and hiking boots (signature Colt). The file name was "Scooter", but who knows if that was his Colt name or just some random name someone used for the file. If any of you DL porn sleuths have any leads, I will love you long time.

Him?

Yes, R46!

Thank you!

at your service

R45 - Scooter wrote an excellent autobiography under his real name, Jeff Snyder. It's called "It's Been a Business Doing Pleasure With You".

Would you recommend that book r49?

R50 - yes, indeed, I thought it was fascinating!

I ordered IT’S BEEN A BUSINESS DOING PLEASURE WITH YOU from Amazon, just now.

And that’s why Datalounge is valuable. Thanks for the recommendation r51.

They always seemed like a last hold over from the men’s physique magazines from an earlier time.

Doug Perry did a video called “His Secret Place.” The video quality is actually still pretty good.

Nick Chase....wish he had done porn.

Thanks, R54. He's so hat in that video. Sexy pecs.

I believe you mean Mayor Schulte, r55.

Recent Nick Chase/Steve Schulte

Moose

Colt is usually very protective of its work, so I'm very surprised that the link at R54 exists. They will usually demand any of their videos that appear on free sites be removed.

I once spooned with Moose way back in the very early 80's, at a private party, He was a very sweet, shy guy who really had no idea just how sexy he was.

The only Moose that really matters...

I bet that Moose has an undertaste!

I tried looking for "It's Been a Business Doing Pleasure With You" on Audible but it isn't there.

Some COLT otter guy named "Gunnar" or "Gunner" did it for me.

Tom Howard

R39

That's Rick Wolfmier....

Yup, such a hot ass

If I were an auto mechanic, these guys would definitely be hanging on the wall.

Wasn't Rusty Jeffers said to be a homophobe there was a story of him being an asshole to his gay fans at some Colt event years ago.

Doug Perry/Darren Lannaghan (sp) had some pretty bad tattoos last photos I saw of him a few years ago

r70, that's shitty

as far as looks he's fine, it really was jim french's filming and photography that made him

It's "darin lannaghan"

Quite a few videos of him posing under his real name are available on youtube

Not my taste in men, but you cannot say that they weren't beautifully lit and photographed.

Colt were definitely up there in the top 5 porn producers.

they were pretty exclusive

Did the talent scouts scour the gyms?

Tom Howard was the hottest to me because he was actually gay.

steve kelso was too

Is there a market today for Colt Men? Does it still exist?

Jim French, founder of Colt Magazine....

More:

R79,

Yes, now called "Colt Studio Group"

Gavin Newsom is a fan:

"In 2007, Colt Studio Group celebrated its fortieth anniversary. San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom signed a proclamation declaring February 23, 2007 as "Colt Studio Day" in celebration of this anniversary. This proclamation attracted criticism from conservative commentators including then–Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly."

From Colt Studio Group Wikipedia page.

COLT guys (San Francisco Gay Parade 2006).

nice to read about Jim French

I always thought it was a shame that Steve Kelso never did interactive porn.

And who could ever forget...Ledermeister?

I used to have sex with Leo Hooks back in the day. Look that one up if you want to be awestruck. I'd love to know whatever happened to him. Sweet guy.

Thanks R80 and R81 those were really interesting articles. Thank you.

Ryan Hayward

Jim French found the hottest men he could and photographed them expertly. Here is a tribute thread dedicated to him with many of his photos:

[quote]Where did all the men go? Porn is nothing but twinks who spend a lot of time at the gym.

True. SeanCody, CorbinFisher etc....just boys compared to these guys.

Most of today’s buff guys are grungy/greasy looking and are plastered with puerile tattoos. They don’t have the imposing and clean-cut look of the Classic Colt men.

Carlo Masi. Hotness and he also seems totally sweet.

R93 Today he’s a university math professor in Rome. Really.

It's nice that he had something to fall back on, r94...

[quote][R93] Today he’s a university math professor in Rome. Really.

The hilarious part is that it is true.

Dave Sansone was another hot one

Letch Feely & Dakota

[quote] It's nice that he had something to fall back on

You mean, besides another man's hard cock?

Doug Perry is pretty liberal. His FB is plastered with Biden/Harris signs and anti Trump stuff.

R96 He has became a TV celebrity in Italy. Last year a popular daytime woman’s show...think the Italian version of "The View" ...covered his wedding live. Here is his proposal. Very sweet.

And BTW the man Carlo Masi is proposing to in the clip...and later married... is Adam Champ.

Very sweet

I gave them a lovely fondue set....

Devlin

More pics of Devlin.

Devlin is hot!

Colt were the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer of porn studios.

"More studs than there are in heaven"

^ Yes, and each stud is a well-groomed, luscious stud.

R108 They had an over indulgence for Technicolor and musicals?

Who was their Joan Crawford? Their Clark Gable? Their Spencer Tracy?

Colt and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer had the highest production value.

Every performer was in peak condition. Expert groomers.

Nothing tacky, sordid or second-rate.

R113 They also feed Judy amphetamines all day to be thin and awake and barbiturates at night to knock her out. Many on this thread allude to steroids so I guess that’s another link.

Porn, for porn's sake?

R113 = Ann Miller

R101: That was beautiful!...and I didn't mind the ABBA reference.

R88

YW!

[quote] Nothing tacky, sordid or second-rate.

MARY

Meet Me Inside Louis was their dazzling salute to double penetration.

Bang, Bang, Bang indeed.

One more...just because.

GG

gordon grant was so fucking hot

Gordon Grant was beautiful. But the three videos he made for Colt are frustrating to watch, because they don't show his hard cock. They barely show his cock at all. Did he make any porn movies for other studios?

Yes

r121, Adonis, in the flesh.

I can't find a photo of the Colt guy who haunted my dreams for years. He had a beautifully shaped, long, uncut cock, and he had light or possibly even blonde hair. He may have been German, and I'm thinking the name Jon, but that may be way off base. I looked at the sites linked above and couldn't find him, but my details may be wrong. I can still see his beautiful dick in my mind, but my memory of the rest of him is a little vague.

Thank you, R125.

R122's Gordon Grant and R97's Dave Sansone are two different people? They look the same.

They really don't, r129.

Gordon Grant and Dave Sansone are definitely different people.

Sansone is a relatively famous bodybuilder.

I don't really see the resemblance at all except both having dark hair and muscular builds.

Same scowling eyes, same square jaw.

gordon grant seems to have been a real porn model, the other colt models seem to have been only for jim french and that is it

Jim French

What name did Bob Koherr go by, modeling for Colt? I can't remember. He was funny on Strip Mall.

Mmmmmmm...Pete Kuzak

Wow, thank you R125. Gordon Grant fucking and getting fucked raw. Hell yeah.

Finally found my guy. I was wrong about nearly everything. Not blonde. Max Schling.

Pete Kuzak was the one that did it for me.

Yes, R139, I liked Pete Kuzak a lot, too, and to a lesser degree, Wade Neff. He was ugly but he looked like he could manhandle me in a good way. But I'm so thrilled for this thread to remind me of Max Schling again.

r138, had a HUGE schlong

pete Kuzak after being a bodybuilder became a skinny yogi

He...vas...my...boyfrendt!

Clyde Wallace and his big bush and supple ass get my juices flowing.

jake tanner

Mike Timber

How old would some of these guys be now?

Maybe 60s and 70s, R147. If someone was 30 in 1980, he would be 70 now. Many were older than that, some were younger.

The steroid guys with nugget balls. Not that endearing.

Gunner Hyde

Gunner & Rocco

Bruce Craig & Ralph Whitaker

Gunther Keller

Tony Mills...THAT was his Colt moniker!

Damn R154, I would totally sit down on that dick!

He said in some interview that that was his version of bottoming, r155...because he would be...on the bottom.

R156 That would work too, but it's a shame to waste that slab o' meat.

I had forgotten how they recreated a lot of Tom of Finland poses.

R145 - IIRC Jake Tanner used to be found on the internet as a veterinarian in the LA area, but I can't find anything now. It seems to have all been scrubbed.

How would it go to waste if you're sitting on it, r157?

Oops, I misread the above comment R160

r154 here. This is his acting reel.

R159 Perhaps he's retired now?

Mr. Tanner

Mr. Tanner playing with himself...

Is Jake Tanner dead? Pete Kusak says he's straight(or did)he was on some kind of design show a few years back.

These COLT Men display all their Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer magnificence in these lush photos.

But their images are decaying on videotape which deteriorate into blurriness.

Pete Kuzak became landscape archtect Scott Peters...

...and then becane a yogi, possibly living in India for a while...

...and seems to have disavowed or distanced himself from the whole COLT thing.

[quote] Pete Kuzak became landscape archtect Scott Peters

Funny how his real name was more a porn name than his fake name.

Indeed. Seems odd.

Jake Tanner's body was a total 10/10 - absolute perfection. Literally one of the best bodies I've ever seen in my entire life. I have his dildo too.

it's on sale right now, seriously

Are you planning on returning it, r173?

the beauty of Rick Wolfmyer

[quote]...and seems to have disavowed or distanced himself from the whole COLT thing.

He and other Colt models were big just before the internet really took off in the mid- to late-90s.

Can you imagine posing and thinking that the market was probably relatively limited and the notoriety (or infamy) would be within a smaller community, only to have it blowup as it did.

Pron hos today know what they're getting into. Back then, it wasn't what they signed up for, they probably had no idea what would happen, and were probably harassed by stalkers who could now easily find them with a few button clicks.

"Pete" is an amazing person. He is my best friend.

Being a Colt model from the classic era is nothing to be ashamed about.

r178, is he still hot?

“Don’t cry for me America!”

This old bastard better be announcing he’s dying of something!

trump is NOT a colt model

Sorry wrong tread!

Can I be a Colt model?

R185 Too butch.

SJP, you’re coltish days are long over, you may dye your hair, but you’re still on old grey mare!

Your post has sullied this thread, r181....

Geez, the initial guys, at least, are artwork.

Another vote here for Steve Kelso. My, I’d certainly have been bold and pinched his buttocks!

OP, I cannot get enough of that pic. I apologize for not scrolling through the 190 preceding posts. Who is that gorgeous man? I want him in me deeply.

Colt model Doug Perry whose real name is Darin Lanningham. I wholeheartedly agree! 😀

Andy Miller who resembles CHIPs star Larry Wilcox a little bit.

Byron Hawkwood who looks straight out of the 70s with his distinctive moustache.

I just remembered John Pruitt. Oh, I thought he was gorgeous. He was, but now I think he looks a little clean-cut for my taste. Such a pretty man, though.

I also liked Dave Lash, who I read in one of the COLT magazines eventually became a cop.

For me, John Pruitt is the greatest of all time. Totally straight, but also comfortable with the idea that he could be an object of lust for gay men. Probably never understood that the internet would spread his nude photos to everyone, but then again, he never did a sex video with another guy or even jacked off. Even though there are many photos of his big hard dick (so grateful he agreed to do those), there isn't a single one where you see even a hint of precum.

He has nothing to be embarrassed about. Hell, if I looked that good when I was in my twenties and early thirties, I would have made sure to take as many photos as possible and I wouldn't care who saw them.

There are many photos where you get a good look at his cock. There is only one photo I know of that shows his hole.

There is one thing that I wonder about. He has two grown up sons now. Do you think there was a time when he and his wife had to pull the boys aside and let them know that their dad was a nude model? Did they show them the photos? How would you feel if you saw pictures of your hot dad, naked with a big hard on? I think that would be confusing for them.

How man Colt men were actually Sagittarius? Did they have profiles where it mentioned their signs and hobbies?

[quote]How would you feel if you saw pictures of your hot dad, naked with a big hard on?

Very curious to see them, but not turned on.

[quote] … his wife had to pull the boys aside and let them know that their dad was a nude model…

That situation is happening more and more now.

And it'll be happening more and more in the years to come because so many men are earning income on the side during the lockdown.

dcivd lash and Byron Hawkwood could be brothers

John Pruitt and some other models for Colt and other publications did nothing more really than male "physique" modeling, something that has been around in some form or another for ages. Men showing off well defined bodies existed in sculpture, paintings and illustrations long before pictures and film arrived.

Going back to early days of "physique" mags which heavily recruited from gyms/guys who were into body building the whiff of homosexuality was never far. Guys like John Pruitt and others who compete or competed in professional body building circuits can point out they never did anything to be ashamed of; just showing off bodies they worked hard to achieve.

It is the wanking videos and full gay porn that causes chatter in bodybuilding circuits and elsewhere.

You can go to many bodybuilding online groups or other internet sites and see endless discussions about guys (many of them the same Colt or other models discussed on DL) who did or do gay porn/modeling.

It is as mentioned several times in this thread; guys who modeled or did films back in 1970's through say 1980's had no idea what was coming; how cold they? But they all signed general releases meaning their images or films they were in can be distributed and redistributed in various new forms online or whatever.

Like escorting guys do porn or pictures for various reasons that suited them at the time. Many stopped and moved on thinking that side of their lives was over. Then up comes some panting fan seeking to run them to ground, dredging up things they'd rather not think about much less discuss.

As they feel compelled to say 20 times a day on the bodybuilding sites,

"No homo!"

Gordon Grant was Native American and had a bit parts in American Gigolo and a TV movie.

Colt men in the 90s. Nothing better. I still have a box with a collection of Colt Men calendars from that era, and a few mags also. I got rid of everything else but couldn't handle the idea of throwing these out. The "hairy chested men" versions were the best. I also have a whole calendar (circa around 1995) of just Steve Kelso in all his glory x12 and another of Pete Kuzak. Jake Tanner was another fav. The first pron video I remember watching on VHS was Jake Tanner "Behind the Barn". Perfection. Good times.

I remember reading years ago that Byron Hawkwood had a minor career as an actor in action and biker B-movies for studios like American International. But I just spent too much time searching to back that up and couldn't find a thing.

Think one reason why porn actors of old like Max Grande and others who have totally dropped off face of earth keep it that way is because not only have they moved on, but don't want fans or whatever dredging up their past.

Unfortunately some people just cannot help themselves and don't (or won't) respect limits and boundaries.

[quote] …Byron Hawkwood had a minor career as an actor…

I think I saw him in a secondary role in this painful movie. He may have used a different pseudonym because I can't see that Hawkwood pseudonym in the IMDB listing.

R207, oh, MARY

Byron Hawkwood’s stints in film and tv are detailed here. Plus, there are more current shots of what he looks like today.

super hot, and definitely underhung, I probably like small disked guys because of him

^ do you prefer internal or external drives?

[quote]Guys like John Pruitt and others who compete or competed in professional body building circuits can point out they never did anything to be ashamed of; just showing off bodies they worked hard to achieve.

Except, of course, for the fact that he did a solo jerkoff video...

R213

Did he? Will wonders never cease......

yup, he did

John Pruitt never did a solo jerk off video. If he did, show it.

OP, whoever that is in that photo is GORGEOUS! Body and cock, perfect.

he did one of those jim french films where he strengths, rubs himself, gazes in the distance and takes a shower, he doesn't cum, but he is hard and stroking

Just because someone says John Pruitt made a jerk off video doesn't make it true, Donald, ... er, I mean R128.

[quote]John Pruitt never did a solo jerk off video. If he did, show it.

You may as well admit you're the "who dis" troll if you cannot find it for yourself.

R207, they posed for what they knew would be reproduced in large numbers, distributed widely, and everyone is just supposed to just forget it ever happened?

R217 - he is "Doug Perry."

R220, you can't go find something that doesn't exist.

[quote][R220], you can't go find something that doesn't exist.

r218 is right - "he did one of those jim french films where he strengths, rubs himself, gazes in the distance and takes a shower, he doesn't cum, but he is hard and stroking"

Then again, I suppose it could have been a stunt cock like Matt Ramsey claims was used for all his gay films - lol.

I would imagine most of these men rounded out their incomes through high priced and very exclusive escorting.

[quote][R207], they posed for what they knew would be reproduced in large numbers, distributed widely, and everyone is just supposed to just forget it ever happened?

not r207, but...

I'd propose that there is a line between folks who did pron before 2000 when the internet was still in its infancy and after.

Prior to the widespread use by a lot of people, a video and mags would have a limited distribution to a very specific and limited audience. Finding people, google image search, and the collective sleuthing of large numbers of people were not as common. If you made a pron video in 1994, you couldn't possibly have known how it was going to explode and become known to virtually everyone.

[quote]Do you think there was a time when he and his wife had to pull the boys aside and let them know that their dad was a nude model? Did they show them the photos? How would you feel if you saw pictures of your hot dad, naked with a big hard on? I think that would be confusing for them.

R197 I wonder the same thing about Donald and Melania letting Barron know about his mom's photo shoots. Or maybe his step-brothers have already told him.

[quote]o you think there was a time when he and his wife had to pull the boys aside and let them know that their dad was a nude model? Did they show them the photos? How would you feel if you saw pictures of your hot dad, naked with a big hard on?

Well, at least they'd have an object lesson for their kids about consequences to choices you make when you're young...

R225 - Yes, the aforementioned book by Scooter is far more about his escorting days than his Colt Studios experience.

Scooter is hot

Wow, thanks, R210. That article is spot on that he was "hiding in plain sight" I've seen him as an actor on TV, especially that Miller beer commercial, and I had no idea that was Hawkwood.

Funny that he shows dick in that video, R231, smallish though it is.

R221

Yes, but "distributed widely" was quite different in 1970's than 1980's and certainly more so today.

Video cassette recorders weren't in the picture when those who made porn in 1970's or before which was shown only on film. So unless you happened to have a projector at home you went to an "adult" movie house. Those two things right there would have limited distribution, hence even Bel Ami even in 1990's or whatever telling their young stable of actors films wouldn't be shown in their native country.

Arrival of video cassette players changed things again, but no one even in 1990's could have foreseen technology that exists today where porn is available not just on personal computers, but devices smaller than touch tone handset.

No one could also predict huge archives of vintage/past porn would be put online accessed either for free or whatever.

As stated it isn't just the distribution of content, but that certain people running these former porn actors/models to ground decades later.

Just when I thought COLT STUDIOS could do no wrong I see this featuring model Mark Gamble.

How *very* terpsichorean, r234!

sexy studs

they have always done hardcore, but the latest effort have never been as hot as the old ones

Men are just not as hot these days. Every Tom, Dick and Harry wants in on the sex nowadays. It's too common. The "godlike" men are gone.

John has the best pecs...

Man boobs

No pecs, no sex!

I’d fuck him hard

Scooter's book is rather sad.

I cried when I typed this

[quote]Scooter's book is rather sad.

Really? Poorly written or recounting unfortunate incidents?

It sounds interesting.

Not that poorly written (though it jumps around a lot chronologically and is often repetitious). The guy does claim to have paid his way through UCLA by hustling - so he can write coherently and often poetically.

But. But. The depraved sex acts he's paid to perform. Insane, drugged-out clients who often cheat him out of money. His own 5-year coke bender. The AIDS deaths. After years of partying, "stardom," non-stop sex, and whoring himself out, he doesn't seem to have two dimes to rub together.

Were their Colt Women as well? One never hears about lesbian porn magazines? (To be clear, specifically aimed at lesbians, not the male gaze)

Who understands (or wants to understand) what lesbians find sexy? Not me.

Women don't tend to be as visual, pornographically speaking, r247.

[quote]Were their Colt Women as well?

Oh, dear.

R246

"After years of partying, "stardom," non-stop sex, and whoring himself out, he doesn't seem to have two dimes to rub together."

Multiply that by dozens or even scores and you have fate of great number of porn/adult actors or models.

Back when Hugh H. was alive and Playboy parties at the mansion where still an event to attend you'd always find at least several "mutton dressed as lamb" women. These were Playmates, former PB Bunnies, adult actresses or models, etc... long past their sell by date but with no other means of support. They "worked" those parties hoping some guy would want Miss November 1975 or worse 1965 and throw them a few coins in the process.

Reason why all these WEHT threads end up with more queries than definite answers is that a good many adult actors or models who didn't manage to get their heads on straight are now either incarcerated, dead, indigent, or some other sorry state.

Same applies to a good many hustlers/escorts/prossies straight, gay, trans, male and female. So much of the money made went into drugs and god knows what else, that they've got little to show for it when they age out (or should anyway) of the life.

R247

There's plenty of girl on girl action in straight porn...

And, NO, there never has been nor likely ever will females in Colt or whatever. Unlike mags such as Playgirl where male models were supposed to be straight, thus all those females in various photo shoots, Colt is for and by gay males, period.

Yes, under this new found equality and inclusion movement gay porn elsewhere has been infiltrated by females and trans, but Colt won't go down that road. They know push back would be strong and they cannot afford to lose customers.

Females in gay porn feed into fantasy of every frau that a gay man isn't exclusively that, and when situation is right will partake of fish.

If you're REALLY into Colt Men (and have some money to spare), I recommend the book "Jim French Diaries". It's HUGE and filled with pics of the models that I mostly hadn't seen before. The main topic I remember is that he said Rex Morgan/Buck Hayes was the only model who was ever high during the photo shoot. He actually went in the bathroom and took drugs during the shoot. I was sorry to hear that. He gives the real names of a couple of the early models, like, I think, George O'Mara? Unfortunately, there's no index, so it would take me forever to find that section in it.

Errr...it looks like it's out-of-print and Amazon only has used copies for $389! ABE books has one copy for over $800. So, yes, you'll need some extra money to spare for it.

I have a friend who's side hustle is selling old Colt magazines online

R255 - ooh, I guess I should get my stack of them out - they've just been sitting in a box for years.

(Sigh) COLT men were the ONLY men. Then and now.

[quote]Well, at least they'd have an object lesson for their kids about consequences to choices you make when you're young...

What consequences? R228, you're a fucking priss.

I've always thought that Andy Miller was so wholesome and sexy looking.

Another of the gorgeous Doug Perry

Andy Miller is a cross between Tony Dow and Larry Wilcox to me.

OP, that man is beautiful. I want a lifesize poster above my bed.

OMG, that opening pic of Doug Perry! His thicc thighs, the veins running through his arms, legs, and dick! I'm hard just looking at him.

Doug Perry modeled for the "Exercise for Men Only" and "Men's Workout" genre of magazines. Several others of those magazines' models posed for Playgirl or allowed physique photographers to take nude pictures of them.

I can't imagine Doug Perry's mushroom head did not stand out in his posing suits. If I saw that, I might have been distracted...

Jim French had criteria for selecting his models. Beautiful face, beautiful body, beautiful cock, if you had two out of three, you passed his test.

It's nice to see pictures of men when pubic hair wasn't scrutinized and modified. Way back when I remember the guys with the biggest bushes liked to walk around naked in the locker room a lot longer than the rest of us did. It's like they were proud of it. Maybe the Colt models were, too.

Dave Lash was one of my favorites. The matching mustache and bush was a nice look.

Andy Miller’s butthole looks very lickable.

Lou Buckley's nipple does something which makes me hot when I see some bodybuilders lifting weights at the gym. His nipple is sliding out of the tank top. It gets me every time, especially when it is perched on a well-defined pec.

The rest of him is nice, too.

I love Lou Buckley’s face. Thanks for sharing him. The nipple is great, too.

I was surprised to find out that an "undiscovered" film by Rip Colt turned up not too long ago, featuring a threesome of Jim Cassidy, Chris Dickerson and John Tristram. Cassidy was not a surprise, but Dickerson was a competitive bodybuilder and Tristram was one of AMG' earliest physique models. Watching the three of them have sex is like finding the pot at the end of the rainbow.

Jake Andrews was a fraternity brother at Purdue, Alpha Sigma Phi.

Rusty Jeffers in Playgirl before modeling for Colt.

I wish I could find more photos or videos of Troy Yaeger, but I think he only modeled for Colt. His video "The Best Man" is one of my favorites.

Wasn't John Tristram James Mason's boy toy, r269?

Wow, R273, I never heard that before! I do know that he became a college professor or something like that. He was extremely handsome, and had some great photos in Physique Pictorial for AMG. When he modeled for Colt and Playgirl, he had longer hair. I was very surprised to learn he did actual porn.

so beautiful

Too much muscle mary for me.

I didn't know John Tristram posed in Playgirl. Did he use another name while posing for those pictures?

The Doug Perry clip above being deleted, here's a different version with a cheesy post-Colt video interview, him pumping for a competition, then the 'nude stroll in the woods' sadly not jacking-off, scene:

[quote] Wasn't John Tristram James Mason's boy toy, [R269]?

R273 You're not referring to THE James Mason, are you?

OP, Doug Perry is beautiful especially those thicc thighs and veins in his arms and dick but he looks like he has varicose veins or some weird thing going on with his calves.

As a young Gayling I can remember shivering in lust looking at pictures of Colt men who looked and still look like Gods. The artistry of the pictures captured everything masculine in them. It made you proud to be a man and made you dream of being with them. Toby, Devlin, Bruno , Jake Tanner, Ed Dinarkos, Mike Betts . Rick Wolfmiester to name just a few caused major movements in my pants.

truly godlike

To this day no studio has ever produced better than what Colt produced in its hey day! The current company is a shadow of its former self and the models do not the Gods of yesterday.

I gave Jake Tanner a blow/rim job back in 86. Went over to his house in Venice. His lover opened the door. Ed Dinkios another bodybuilder. The were both nice polite gentlemen. We chatted a bit since I was in the "business" I remember being nervous because they had three enormous Doberman dogs. We got down to brass tacks in his small bedroom .I could hear his lover playing with the dogs outside. For clean up he gave me a freshly laundered white terry cloth towel which was thoughtful. Post coital Ed served us espresso and we talked Dodgers and stuntmen. I was a very satisfied customer. Colt Man and coffee all for $200. LA was cheaper then.

jake tanner

Guy McCoy and Mike Davis were my favourites

Is Jake Tanner still alive?

Yes.

I wish we could go back to the gold old days of pron, like Colt and Falcon Studios.

Pron today sucks. The idea that anyone and everyone should go nude on camera and fuck, and everyone gets a participation award for doing so, should be trashed. Who wants to see ordinary? I can see ordinary by taking my clothes off and looking in the mirror.

Yes, R289, prawn does suck these days. The transportation network has been affected by the virus. Prawn is fishy, and we have drag queens for that.

But I do agree, Colt models are the ultimate examples of manhood, all of the manhood. They're not afraid to share it with us. They have confidence in spades. Not many men would do the same.

[quote]Ed Dinkios

Ed DINAKOS. And I think he was an AIDS victim.

One of my earliest jerk-off videos was a loop from Colt called "The Bonus", with Mike Davis, Gunther Keller and some ugly guy named Shadow. I lost a ton of sperm over that video. I think Mike was a good friend of Al Parker, was sadly a very early AIDS victim.

If Jake Tanner survived has anyone seen him since he retired?

[quote] The transportation network has been affected by the virus. Prawn is fishy, and we have drag queens for that.

What does that mean in English please.

“AIDS victim”?

Back in the day that was the term

WHET Steve Kelso? Is he still in NYC?

nope, asbury park

Years ago I was told that there were some Colt models who were surprisingly short in stature, so you rarely if ever saw them photographed with other models. The example was Steve Kelso, who was said to be only about five foot seven. His muscles and cock look big when it's only him in the photo, but if you put him next to a guy who is six foot two, he would look tiny.

I've seen photos of Steve Kelso at fan events and he is quite short. But at least he is gay and appreciates his fans -- unlike Carl Hardwick, who is only five foot six inches, straight, and resentful toward the gay men who admire him.

No, R296, it wasn’t - it was considered highly offensive.

of course it was, but it was very commonly used in the 80's

We haven't mentioned Hank Ditmar yet, have we? He was my favorite (well, after Buck Hayes).

Another of Hank Ditmar (obviously from an old VHS tape). In his book, Jim French said that Hank and Jesse weren't really brothers.

hot ass

Why aren't there men like this now?

The classic Colt physique was thick and muscular but the not zero body fat type fashionable today. The men were voluptuous

which is what i like

Voluptuous is exactly what they were and why they are legends.

R300 It was considered highly offensive by The Scold Brigade.

The Scold Brigade exist in every decade; it used to be full of Christians and now it's full of Socialists and Wokeists.

What the hell has Bruno done to his face? He was my original sex god idol.

I don’t think these 2 pics of Doug Perry have been posted.

and #2

Doug Perry's dick is the hottest I have ever seen. That mushroom head drives me wild, it is absolutely pendulous, and the straw- colored hair around it is beautiful.

Is Doug Perry gay or straight?

Are there videos?

at R278, R315. In that video compilation, R314, Doug/Darrin mentions a wife and kid.

What was the relationship between 'Colt' and 'Buckshot'?

'Colt' for gods and 'Buckshot' for whores?

r306 I believe what the kids are saying now is "thicc."

WHET Colt Man Adam Dexter? He did several films with them about 15 years ago or so. According to his bio info at the time, he resided in the Detroit Area and worked in the IT field outside of porn.

Adam Dexter did a great video in a gym with a white guy. They were very much in to each other.

R320, all of his videos were great & with White men. I don't think he ever worked with anyone Black. LOL

Things are looking up for Ansel Kovak. What I wouldn't do to climb up that.

Cal Sinclair, sans mustache.

super handsome, never hard

I've always liked this Colt picture a lot.

Link Stinky R322.

OP pic - gorgeous man, weird-looking dick.

What's Adam Dexter up to nowadays?

his balls in butt

Anyone have any other pics of little known Colt model, Ed Calhoun?

[quote] The man is a god who can’t take a bad picture.

Colt may have smothered their men with pancake make-up but they didn't have the use of Photoshop in those far off primitive days when all of us were so desperately hungry for the slightest titillation.

There is a bunch of photos of Ed Calhoun on the studios' website coltstudiogroup.com.

Clyde Wallace was one of my favorites.

Oh, darling, r331, before Photoshop there was....ME!

Oh, darling, r331, before Photoshop there was....ME!

sexy

Bump.

COLT !

Anyone remember this perfect guy's name?

no, but I love the high tits and bush

I love guys like r339 - that's the kind of build that I find incredibly sexy.

R339. Please teleport him to try bedroom.

Err, my...

Gunner Hyde was my favorite (I love hairy Italian types) and one scene he did with a blond was very hot (I still have the book of it). However, in general, Colt hardcore wasn't very hot, suggesting that while the men were beautiful, many weren't really gay or weren't that into it. The photo sets were impressive, though.

R339’s model reminds me of the late actor/model Antony Hamilton.

^ Damn what happened to him?

Gunner Hyde did a scene dressed as a forest ranger. He and another hot ranger did the wild thing in the woods. 'T'was hot, hot, hot.

shit man

[quote]Gunner Hyde did a scene dressed as a forest ranger

Dressed as a forest ranger - it's funny how porn reuses certain tropes over and over.

One of my favorite scenes is from Sailor in the Wild where Bill Henson, dressed as a forest ranger, and the eponymous sailor hook up...in the wild.

I love that scene

That's Roger Callard, R339. He was a well-known professional bodybuilder who wasn't afraid to use his real name for the nude photographs.

I loved Hot Cop from Colt Studio. I was once told he was one of a set of brothers who were professional bodybuilders. I haven't learned anything since.

he came like a geyser

Jason Brahm.

And Jason today. Real name is Kip de Borhegyi.

who came like a geyser?

Thanks for the ID on Roger Callard. Here's 11 yr old interview with him by Ric Drasin who also did some Colt photos & videos (with Ken Sprague). Drasin died last summer.

r356, the hot cop in the video

Hmmm, Roger Callard must be pretty powerful if he is able to have all his naked photos scrubbed.

Colt Studio may have helped him do that, R359. Roger Callard, Ric Dracin and other bodybuilders were in Mae West's movies and stage acts. Some of the others posed nude in that time period, as well.

Here is Ric Drasin with Mae.

Loved ric drasin’s shots. He had a tiny dock, massive body, love that combo

Or a tiny dick

Bruno and Rick Wolfmeir were my fantasy men. Must have shot gallons of cum thinking of them when I was a young gayling.

I agree, also since they did real sex vids

Bruno was hot but he never looked fully hard to me. His dick was big but floppy in most scenes.

bottom bitch

Yet Bruno never bottomed on screen?

R355 Oh daddy!

I think bruno bottomed, but the films were such that you barely saw any penetration

The Colt magazine featuring Bruno was the first gay mag I ever bought. I thought he was the handsomest hairy build man I had ever seen. His face, his dick ,his ass were amazing and provided me with endless years of pleasure.

Bruno handsome ? LOL

Bruno was drop dead gorgeous in his day!

Bruno's videos for Colt were worthless. The other videos he made were fucking hot.

a star is born

He’s ugly

Bruno is still willing to get naked.

If I only...

That's Toby with Bruno in the last picture.

[quote]His face, his dick ,his ass were amazing and provided me with endless years of pleasure.

And did you ever even think to send him a "Thank You" card?

He appreciates gift cards

Who wouldn't appreciate a nice fondue set?

great for lube

I found this shot online. It looks like it's from Colt's 70s era. Can anyone identify the two models?

[quote]I found this shot online. It looks like it's from Colt's 70s era. Can anyone identify the two models?

Nom de Nude - Erron and Del

R339: Roger Callard also appeared in tan episode of, "Charlie's Angels" in their last season.

Thank you, R385.

R386, 70's sex symbol success

Wow, that Bruno guy is hot as fuck - never heard of him before, thanks for the tip!

and he's still around

Who was the guy in one of Colt's videos dressed as a highway patrolman wearing shades and jacking his big cock?

[quote] They also feed Judy amphetamines all day to be thin and awake

How else did you expect her to get up at five a.m. and "SPARKLE, Judy, SPARKLE!"?

these guys sparkle

This may have already been pointed out, I haven't read through the whole thread. But Erron was also known as Jeremy Brent. The scene he did with the uber sexy Jeff Cameron is legend.

You can watch that scene in this Bullet Videopac.

Nudies!

There's something about old school pron - the sex is less choreographed.

The stuff they do these days is like a gymnastics routine with required moves and positions.

unfortunately the video I posted at R395 does not have Erron/Jeremy Brent & Jeff Cameron. That scene is in Bullet Videopac 4 (which I can't find a link for). But he is in the video above with another hot stud.

Here he is in the great scene with Rod Mitchell. He gives Rod a home ground pounding I might add.

More of Colt men Erron and Del.

Erron was model perfect. He was a flight attendant .He later butched up but of course died in the plague 30 years ago. At least we have Jim French's photo to keep him eternally young.

Studs

Rod Mitchell is hot

That's Hot Cop, R391. He's in the photo at R352.

he seemed like a sex machine

Tom Howard (mid to late 90s).

DANG, I love that site

What happened to Tom Howard?

tall and beautiful

Tom Howard died a few years ago R407.

that's a shame

Perhaps a detail or two, r409?

LIKE THE FUCKING CAUSE OF DEATH??

One thing a lot of these models reminded us of - there is no machine in the gym to improve the appearance of your genitals.

you can use your hand

R408 beautiful ? Lol

Try Google R411 it's your friend and with your cunt attitude probably your only one.

R411 Tom Howard/Flex Gordon (born Christopher Welch) died on 27 February 2007 from HIV-complications.

shit

Pic of Buck Hayes/Rex Morgan that I hadn't seen before. Perfection, of course!

Thanks for sharing, R418.

Rex Morgan was GORGEOUS.

More Buck/Rex. Apologies if these have already been posted.

It's amazing how many Colt guys simply vanished. They were among the most popular nude male models from that period. Some, like John Pruitt, we know what happened to them. But, many others simply faded into anonymity. We really only know what happened to the ones who kept doing porn until they died.

I wonder what happened to people like Rex Morgan, not for sexual reasons, but simple curiosity.

You'd think that Mike Branson, esq., was helping them with his law firm with witness protection new identities or something.

I'd love to know more

What happened to Buck Hayes/Rex Morgan?

he's a delight. did he do movies?

he most certainly did

But, he was your classic "trade top" in that he never sucked cock, let alone bottomed.

I like a trade top

[quote] But, he was your classic "trade top" in that he never sucked cock

Well, he's certainly doing that in R426's clip.

he sounds like a ripe gay man

Were they all his models straight after HIV popped up?

Was Colt started by the guy who hated seeing dirty feet in porn (hence no foot shots). I get all those early guys confused. I know one was Black and Higgins got into a lot of trouble but otherwise, they seem pretty interchangeable.

I loved them all

"Doug Perry" is still a very handsome guy who seems to have aged quite well from his instagram.

Good for him that he seems like he's living a pleasant life.

Sounds like this Rip Colt guy loved a good gay baiter.

[quote]Sounds like this Rip Colt guy loved a good gay baiter.

Seems like he's not the only person who likes to bait people...

Colt Men the epitome of masculinity.

I found a fairly recent pic of Colt's Rick Wolfmier. I'm not sure when this was taken, but he's 68 now. Lost his muscle, but still holding up really well!

Climb every mountain

Wow, rick, well, good for him, sorry that david betts never made it this far

Colt men make me smile

As porn, the sex was almost always disappointing and very limited.

[quote]Wow, rick, well, good for him, sorry that david betts never made it this far

In the early days of the internet around 2000, Betts (It's Mike, not David if we're talking about the one who used to model with Wolfmier) used to advertise as an escort in Chicago. He looked rough. Still muscular, but not ripped.

He was gorgeous during his Colt days with a great body. The review sites claimed he had died although I've never seen an indepdent confirmation. DL seems to believe he's dead also (see r1 in linked thread).

Mike betts, that’s right, I used to dream about him

George Payne, who modeled for Colt back in the 70s, is still alive and living in NYC. He hasn't had the easiest times in more recent years though. He's hanging in there though. He's an eccentric but nice guy.

Yes, Mike Betts died. His real name was Robert Thomas Brawley. Born 16 Aug 1949 in Libertyville, Illinois, died 17 Aug 2004. Here's his tombstone.

RIP.
