Shows That Turned Us Gay - "CHiPs"

Saved By the Bell.

"The Wild Wild West". Why was seeing a lithe, muscular, hairy man in bondage week after week so titillating to a young child? It triggered me into wanting to see all the other guys in the TV shows I watched without their clothes on. Alright, sigh, even Captain Kangaroo.

Late ‘70s/early ‘80s network TV was very into its cryptogay couples. Ponch and Jon, the Duke boys, Starsky and Hutch, Simon and Simon … the list goes on. What was that about?

What about Laverne and Shirley? Was the "L" on her sweater a clue?

“Kukla, Fran & Ollie”

Poncho's ass and the ass of Robert Conrad in WW West made me gay. end of story. Strangely, I became a pig bottom later in life.

I’m was also converted by WWWest. I waited every week to see James Conrad shirtless and wearing those skin tight pants

Small Wonder

Solid Gold dancers.

I think it started with Porter Ricks (Brian Kelly) on [bold]Flipper[/bold], then James West came along and sealed the deal.

Dukes of Hazzard

Johnny Quest

1st and 10 with Delta Burke (pre designing women) on HBO circa 1984. I remember as a kid trying to pretend I was into football just to sneak and watch it. I think it was on every Friday. But it was the much earlier precursor to the male eye candy show that OZ on the same network became. Because it was HBO you saw a lot of locker room beef, naked asses and I am sure a couple of soapy dicks.

I accidentally ejaculated to Ponch at 14- and had no idea that was what it was all about!

As a 13 yr old gayling, one of my first memories of masturbation over a celebrity was when Luke Halpin first displayed armpit hair. and I immediately erected. I was in heaven.

Anything starring Tim Considine.

First, Spin and Marty. Then, the Hardy Boys. Next, the Swamp Fox. All Disney productions. R15's armpit reminiscence made me think of the time Tim Considine was shirtless on Swamp Fox. Unfortunately, it was for a whipping scene at the home of some British general, but oh, my eyes rolled back in my head seeing him with his shirt off.

I wasn't old enough to have an orgasm, but I do believe I was solid as a rock.

I already knew I was gay by the time The Dukes of Hazzard came around. I watched on as many Friday nights as I could, in order to catch Tom Wopat in his obligatory state of shirtlessness. His blond brother failed to excite me. It's always been that way for me with blonds. I find it difficult to distinguish one from another.

The Hercules movies they used to show on TBS on Saturday mornings, especially when the muscleman playing Hercules (or Goliath or Maciste or whatever the hero's name was) strained and flexed and bent bars and broke chains. I think those movies started my lifelong muscle and strength fetish, and I still have a soft spot (well, a hard-on) for those sword-and-sandal movies. I loved it best when the rest of the family was out taking my brothers to their soccer practices, and I could hump the floor in peace.

Also, Bluto from the Popeye cartoons, especially when he'd flex his huge biceps. Could never figure out why Olive would chose that runt Popeye instead of that slab of beef Bluto.

WKRP In Cincinnati for sure. We all know why too...

R18, I always wondered if I was the only one who noticed how tight Gary Sandy's pants were. ;-)

Speaking of WKRP, Les was Herb's bitch wasn't he?

I always remember being fascinated with Duane's bulge from What's Happenin' too.

Was "Ponch at 14" like "James at 15," only sexier and Hispanic?
