Was/is Joey Stefano the most famous actually gay in real life gay porn star ever?

I'm not talking about g4p gay porn stars...

I've never understood the pron world's fascination with this guy.

Very queeny acting, lots of gayvoice, very ordinary body, and generally a lethargic, disinterested performer

He'd be in his mid-fifties now if he had lived, probably working a low wage job with periodic trips to rehab.

Just another gay porn star who died young.

At least he knew when to quit. I bet he had a better list than Epstein.

I would say Jeff Stryker was more famous in his day than either Joey Stefano or Mike Branson.

So was Ryan Idol.

Agree with you, Op, never understood the hype,

The concept of.famous gay porn star is complicated,mbut yes, probably Stryker. Unfortunately as he was not even gay.

by Anonymousreply 7November 11, 2024 11:32 PM

He was sexy, that was his appeal.

Beautiful face, great hair, excellently proportioned body, narrow waste, big ass, and a demeanor that just screamed 'I want you to cum in me.'

Joey was probably the only famous BOTTOM at the time when all the others were trying to out top each other. The reason it was notable is that for the most part, even today, bottoms are a dime a dozen and no one really cares about them like guys with huge cocks and top energy.

A second vote for Al Parker, The first openly, unashamed gay porn superstar. Up until the mid 70s, majority of guys in gay porn were skeevy, drugged out, rough trade and only in it for the $. The Joe Gage franchise changed that. For the first time, our gay porn models were rugged, masculine and handsome ...and gay.

It’s a great book. I met Joey in the early 90’s waiting to check my coat at Limelight. He was amazing in person. For me, his visage was the epitome of all those high school jocks you fantasized about in high school.

He could’ve just as easily been a Ralph Lauren model.

I have a friend who was an undergraduate with him at Northwestern. I doubt he studied with Alvina Krause.

Sad but true.

Joey S. was one of the most talented bottoms ever. She also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout her life. Despite that, she had a good heart, which is hard to encounter in a drug addict porn whore. At a time when gay people were oppressed beyond belief, they identified with her struggles and she theirs.

As with almost all porn actors, the videos from his first two years were the best. People still circle the drain in the life, although there are a lot better or easier outcomes for more people now.

I didn't know Stefano. Knew a few other big names and a lot with smaller or no names. Just like in the 70s-90s, everyone sells it and parties, and the porn, sex work, playing, substances, chaotic personal lives and risk-taking have individual and combined downward trajectories.

Yes, we know. No one is calming Joey was more famous. Joey was the boy next door. Unlike Stryker, he was not an fugly plastic love doll who's only asset was a huge dick. Stryker was such a weirdo even back then, looks like a freak now.

by Anonymousreply 79November 30, 2024 2:46 AM

Stryker used to sell it and also just give it away when he was on the circuit. Knew a guy who fluffed for him in videos, and Charles (Jeff's real name) would show up for blow jobs. He was like a cross between Bubba on Mama's Family and Elvis' bad acting in a gay porn, but resolutely lizard cool.

I have one of his dildos, autographed with xxx's.

by Anonymousreply 84November 30, 2024 7:18 PM

I picked Joey up in front of The Rage in West Hollywood way back in the 90s, (soon after I had moved here). It was 1:45a, during the days when bars would close by 2am and throw everybody onto the streets. It was a very quick pick-up. We saw each other in the street lights, I smiled, he asked if I wanted to go back to his place with him. Just like that. (I didn't know who he was at the time). He told me his name was Nick.

He lived in a 3-bedroom house. Told me we had to be quiet so as not to awaken his two roommates. We walked into his room, he had a big sign on the door "I'm a Porn Star". That could be the reason I never forgot the experience, as otherwise it was unmemorable.

The next day, I was in Circus of Books. I saw him on the cover of some porn magazine, "Oh shit", (like that scene in My Own Private Idaho). He was identified as Joey Stefano. Because I had so recently moved here, I was still very excited about living here, my first brush with "celebrity", and it felt like a baptism of sorts.

Joey Stefano had “it.” Beautiful blue eyes, pretty face but not at all effeminate. And if you ever watched him dance, he knew how to swing that ass and get that hole to wink at you. He was a great bottom who really seemed to enjoy being fucked.

Stefani was the first famous bottom in porn. He fucked anything that moved if they wanted sex but reportedly preferred men. He famously went looking for sex behind Circus of Books almost every day.
