I may have written about this before. The odds are that I have. But I love men who display.

It could be on a beach or in a park. It could be on a sidewalk, when you notice the guy is flaunting his package. The best place for me was always the supermarket. That’s where the exhibitions really come out. They stroll the aisles and drop a hand to their bulges. They’re not buying - they’re selling. In fact, they’re not really selling. They’re simply parading their male goods.

The worst case was when a dude was cruising the fuck out of me in a Florida Publix. He followed me aisle to aisle, and he was hot, too. I was interested. But I was caught outside by a friend of a friend. My stud stood there as I made small talk with this doctor. I think he thought I was hooking up with the old bastard. He was wrong.

I sincerely hope that as gay porn becomes more integrated, more mainstream, we won’t lose so many stars to drugs. As we have in the past. Sure, some stars survived. Roger, Jack, a few others. But too many went the way of heroin and early death. Like the fantastic Lee Ryder.

What was it? The nasty underside of the business back then, a combination of shame and wild partying? Joey Stefano, Vincent, even the relative newcomer Haus Weston - all gone. I wonder what made them turn to drugs. I suppose it could have been that filming gay porn back then was just too traumatic. I’ve known amateur stars, too, who passed away from AIDS. But usually, from all the bios I’ve read, it was smack. Let’s let sanity take over. Men make choices these days. And if there’s anything to be said for increased gay freedom and rights, it just may be that we don’t watch more talent die from a needle.

Not long ago I paid tribute to a vintage top, Jon Vincent. Now it’s time to salute a man who really led the way in topping, and who was probably the first Latino star of his day. Anthony Gallo.

I used to think he was Italian. Well, the last name is Gallo, after all. But it turns out he was Brazilian. And he was very, very hot. Is he still with us? I hope so. I used to marvel at that chest - I’d never seen one so sculpted. Then there was his big uncut cock and the passion he put into all his scenes. He was balding, he was handsome, he was hairy, he was sexy as anything. Just to watch Gallo eating ass before plowing it, those pecs heaving…I never needed anything more.

I always marvel at men who can inhale big dick. I’ve tried it, believe me, and not just one time. We all make those promises pre-hook-up, anyway - oh, baby, I’m gonna take you down all the way. I’m gonna suck you down to the root.

Sadly, I can’t do it. I gag. I choke. I can take maybe four inches down but then my gag reflex kicks in and I have to pull back for air. On the plus side, good hand action works very nicely with a decent amount of sucking on the head and first few inches. But I still wonder - how do those major cocksuckers do it? You’ve seen them. If you’re lucky, you’ve been with them. They effortlessly swallow nine inches all the way down, no choking, no gagging. It’s a gift, I guess. Yet I also feel that the sword swallowers don’t give all the best there is. They can take it all in, yeah. But the greatest pleasure comes from the lip and tongue action, and I tend to think that gets lost when the dick is planted down the esophagus….

Hats off to EC, who first pointed me to gaybeef.com. There’s nothing quite like seeing great pictures of fucking, and this site has hundreds. Actually, thousands. Here are a few of my favorites…
