Men of Softcore Porn Appreciation Thread

Evan Kensington in "Secret Desires of a Housewife".

Remember Campfire Video and Greenwood-Cooper?

R2, this was by far my favorite Greenwood-Cooper movie:

So do they make gay softcore film for HBO these days? Or it is strictly straight business.

No. They've never ever shown gay softcore porn on HBO. I mean, "Looking" was as close as they ever got.

I think you 're missing Oz, but wow R5, with all its wokeness appearance , HBO is still old fashioned.

Oz was like, 20 years ago.

Paul Michael Robinson was another gorgeous man who appeared in several softcore movies, including the Emmanuelle In Space series with Krista Allen (who later played Billie Reed on Days Of Our Lives).

Peter Ratray was so damn hot back in the day. His role in "Young Lady Chatterley" was almost X rated. And unbelievably he is the father of that big hog Devin Ratray who played Buzz in "Home Alone" and turned into a veritable farm animal today.

Hard to believe this came from the loins of Peter Ratray.

R2: No, I'm not familiar.

R3: Who is he? He's very handsome!

Here's the full DVD cover, R11... no idea who was in it

That guy at R3 went by a few names but Jeremy Webb is the one I remember. He was in a Playgirl feature shot at an airstrip and was in a Sharpshooter video with nude volleyball players. Circa 1997. I thought he was gorgeous and would love to see what he looks like 20 years older now.

I always loved Jared Carey. I think he also used the name John Smith. He was hot as hell.

Thank you, R12. It looks very interesting.

R14: Yes, Jared Carey was great. I love that Passion Cove scene. Has he been in anything recently?

He disappeared in the early 2000's like the rest of the actors in those movies. He was so beautiful and not a bad actor, he could have done more mainstream stuff. Our loss.

Patrick Wright was the real star for me in Young Lady Chatterly. Big beefy daddy. I caught that on cable as a kid and he was full frontal. It has stayed with me my whole life. Too hot.

Most soft core now use adult performers. A lot of the actors in the old 90s early 00s movies were legit actors who were at a dead end career wise. The name changes were in hopes they wouldn’t show up on an IMDb page.

Bobby Johnson did a pictorial for a gay magazine where he even posed for a holeshot, is he gay/bi?

Robert Nassry

'Steve Curtis' regularly featured his sweet brunette features and beauteous ass in many Skinemax movies.

Robert Abrams as "Randy" on Hot Springs Hotel.

R21: I loved Steve Curtis. He was a straight twink, very cute and sexy.

Craig Stepp did a lot of softcore porn, even into his golden years.

I too am a big fan of Bobby Johnston. I recall fondly his photos in Playgirl and Advocate Men (1998). He's a Canadian and I was pleasantly surprised to see him in a Canadian insurance company commercial a few years back. He portrayed a Dust Bowl era farmer to convey the message that the company had been there to help common folk for several decades.

Craig Stepp did one of those awful Sharon Tweed movies where you get a shot of his huge flaccid cock.

Screen caps, R26... I demand screen caps!

Cute little Joe Souza who was in the Naked Boys Singing video ten years ago was in a bunch of softcore from 2001 to 2009 with titles like The Witches of Breastwick, Sexual Needs and Bare Naked Desires. He gets minor roles in mainstream TV shows today.

Clayton Cannon

Timothy di Pri was a compact little Italian guy with a gorgeous ass, who appeared in all the 'Emmanuelle' flankers that were such a staple on Skinemax.

And Paul Michael Robinson was the inexperienced guy who Emmanuelle always had to break in to the pleasures of Eros.

Yup. I remember Craig Stepp and his big dick. Indecent Behavior 2. I saw it as a kid and it shocked me.

Is this Craig Stepp?

Craig Stepp dick at 1:29. Never knew he did a nudie. I always thought he was gorgeous.

Are any of these guys gay?

Damn I can't remember the guy with the wavy mullet'ish hairstyle. He played like a private eye or something. I remember he wore suits and suspenders a lot. He looked similar to Eric Edwards is all I remember.

R9 - I had a similar reaction to Nicholas Clay soaping himself up in the 1981 version (once it made it to cable). It made 10-year-old me so horny I didn't know what to do with myself.

^ bah! DL is blocking the link. Google it and watch; it's worth it!

"Softcore" can be so hot!

-R 37

Damn, OP, you brought up some memories. Bobby Johnston and Craig Stepp were so hot. Another one I remember was Brad Bartram (sp?), sexy man.

I remember that Nicholas Clay scene so well. I was 15 when it was on HBO late at night all the time, so - I knew what to do with myself. He really was exquisite. Beautiful man who died way to young.

R24: What a stud! I'm not sure I am familiar with him. Surely, I'd remember such a handsome man.

R25: I'd love to see that. He must still look really good.

R28: I love Joe Souza and he is also gay if I'm not mistaken. He made a movie once with an actress Tamara Landry and was extremely noisy in bed during their scenes. It was so hot!

R29: Gorgeous! He's a favourite of mine as well.

Jason Schnuit … saw him first in "Club Wild Side 2". He was so fucking hot.

He's done a TON of movies according to imdb.com

Strangely, I can't find a ton of pictures of him.

R43: Yes, I remember Jason Schnuit. He was in a movie called Close Enough To Touch with Bobby Johnston.

Mark Ritter in "Life Of A Gigolo". There's a scene in this in which he teases a woman by ever so slowly rubbing a scarf back and forth between her legs.

Michael George in "Web of Seduction".

Jason schnuit has tried to run away from his soft core past despite it being the bulk of his work. He had a meltdown when someone put up a fan site of his soft core work because it was the first thing that came up in a search of his name and he was trying to break into legit acting.

Joe Souza is gay and also tries to downplay his soft core porn work.

I very briefly dated a soft porn dude. He had a role on either Cinemax, or the Playboy Channel. I don’t recall which.

I dumped him as soon as I saw his work. I couldn’t date a struggling actor who did any type of porn. I was working in a very conservative industry at the time, and it just didn’t fit into my social and professional network. I still wouldn’t date someone who did that for a living.

I have several girlfriends who have been relationships with porn actors, and they have all said that these dudes are really mechanical in the sack. Lousy lovers.

You're a terrible, insufferable, shallow person.

R40 I agree. Nicholas Clay is a great beauty and his scenes in Evil Under the Sun made me stand up and take notice.

OP, men magazine wasn’t ever a straight mag

R50 you mean, made your dick stand up

R50 Yes that's what I mean.

R49: ???

Gary Santangelo in "Sensual Friends". He's so handsome and muscular.

I don’t get softcore porn. It seems like it would be more difficult to stay flaccid and not stick it into something than to just actually screw. Why even bother making softcore? Can’t they just take shots of sex from different angles and edit a hardcore version with visible penetration and also a softcore one without?

Your Bobby Johnston guy.

"I still wouldn’t date someone who did that for a living. "

Particularly since none of them seem to know how to fuck.

Is Bobby Johnson gay he was always my favorite?

R59 If Bobby Johnston is willing to do this and is not gay, then he’a at the very least in the realm of gay for pay.

Hmm...I’ll try this again. -R60

Aren't you guys forgetting me?

R62 Duchivny dehydrated me during the original run of X-Files. What a sexy Jewish Russian.

Scott Carson had a perfect body, and an innocent boyish face. This is from 'The Key to Sex' with slutty Maria Ford.

Whatever became of Bobby Johnson?

The pectacular Alton Butler, who graced "Blonde Heaven" with Julie Strain. The sight of him sent my teenage self into erotic spasms, especially when he was banging away behind the heroine while wearing a cowboy hat. It was directed by David Decoteau, who would later helm all those boys-in-underwear Direct-To-DVD horror movies like "The Brotherhood" and "Wolves of Wall Street," along with Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies (I know...). Decoteau had to have fallen out of his chair when Butler -- then a "nightclub dancer" -- sauntered in for an audition. Butler now runs a successful production rental company in Hollywood. Married with kids, and eminently doable.
