Who was the hottest guy when you were a gayling of say ten y o?

Jon Schneider.

*John

David Hasslehoff

Jan Michael Vincent

Edward Everett Horton

The Man from Atlantis, Patrick Duffy.

He was not the horrest guy, but my main crush for quite a time was Michael J Fox.

Josh Brolin in "Gooinies"

Richard Barthelmess

Rod LaRoque

Tim Considine (L)

Tim who?

Christopher Atkins - Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields. One of the original twinks. Even at 10, it made me feel like a pedophile.

Francis X. Bushman

Lee Majors as The Six Million Dollar Man - he made me feel kinda funny in a way that I didn't understand!

Ramon Novarro. Who wouldn't want to fuck this guy?

Oh Ramon!

DiCaprio.

DiCaprio in her lesbian phase. Yes, she was very beautiful.

Robbie Benson

The Hardy Boys. I loved Shaun Cassidy.

R20 - have you seen him lately? Holding up very well.

Burt Reynolds was my first wet dream. I'm sure he would be thrilled to know that.

Of course.

Bubba on Mama's Family....those tight jeans, that bulge....I knew I liked guys as soon as I saw Bubba on tv every week. Mark Paul Goesslar wa second....

Michael Jackson circa 1983.... I know....

Max Gail.

Hey Michael was hot af back then, R26.

Parker Stevenson

My brother.

Randolph Mantooth

Miss Hathaway

River Phoenix

Wallace Reid

Tom Cruise

Robert Conrad

Lee majors... the big valley..

George Maharis

Race Bannon

R20 and r22 Definitely Robbie Benson, in the movie One on One, with my other favorite actress, Annette O'Toole. You get to see him in a jock strap, and shorty-short yellow basketball shorts. Sexy costar burly basketball player pal in this one as well. Also had one of my favorite songs, My Fair Share by Seals & Crofts.

He showed skin in Running Brave's shower scene. Tighty whities in our gayest fav, Ice Castles. Through the Eyes of Love....

He was the boy next door, gosh shucks kinda guy.

R21 While my sister swooned for Parker Stevenson, I too felt twinges for Shaun. Pretty sure part of it was sibling rivalry because ugh.

Chad Allen

Matthew Oakley, who sat in front of me in 4th grade homeroom. He turned into a supreme asshole in high school, but he was my first crush. Him, or Mario Lopez in the Nickelodeon days.

Maxwell Caulfield

James K. Hackett

Corey Hart.

Matthew Modine always appealed to my pre-teen self. He seemed attractive but nice too (Vision Quest and Birdy were the films I liked him in)

Rob Lowe.

I had crushes on Ethan Hawke in "Explorers" and Jonathan Brandis in "Neverending Story II". I didn't recognize them as crushes, though, and just thought of it as wanting to [italic] be[/italic] them.

R40, when I was a kid I was often told I looked like Robby Benson. It miffed me. He looked so nerdy to me, but that was appropriate as I was/am a nerd.

Jon Erik Hexum

R45 I saw him first.

R40 lol. I just created a thread about that movie and that scene from Ice Castles yesterday. Didn't think that movie was that popular.

I lived for episodes he had his shirt off. Which was a lot of them.

Kurt Russell (one of the left below)

Andy Gibb

River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves, My Own Private Idaho

He was before my time but younger Robert Culp's sexy long legs and bulge drove me wild. They don't make sexy masculine men now like they did back in the 50s and 60s.

I can remember buying 45 singles and feeling a little guilty buying an Andy Gibb one because I mostly wanted it for the pictures and I was afraid the cashier would know.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar

No George Michael??

lex barker as tarzan

George Michael would be on a thread titled: who was the nelliest man around... I doubt many gaylings lusted after the likes of super fembots like George Michael, Boy George, Prince, MJ, or Elton John. The frauen made these men's careers.

R62, and we don't have to feel guilty about it, since it was before he raped Cheryl Crane.

jean-louis trintignant, "and god created woman"

Valentino

Abe Vigoda

Nick Carter

Wilford Brimley

james dean. "rebel without a cause"

cuddle me bro

I was 10 when “the world’s greatest athlete” was released. So, I agree with r4, Jan-Michael Vincent did it for me. Saw that movie again and again, didn’t quite understand what it was I was feeling.

Burt Ward, before he became a tub of goo.

Gregory Harrison

R60 & R70 Yes to both!

Adding Rutger Hauer who was before my time but sooo gorgeous in Ladyhawk. When I first saw it on TV, I loved the sound of his leather costume crinkling over his body when he moved. Couldn't stop thinking about how it looked on him whenever I heard that sound. So sexy.

Jan Michael Vincent was very hot back in the day.

R75 Yes!

Gif of JMV.

Michael Ontkean from The Rookies. I used to lay on the floor, belly down, to conceal my 10-year-old boner.

Jan Michael Vincent today. He's 73. And still has the blonde hair.

He gots a dead fisheye.

R79, Oh dear oh dear oh,dear

Yes, R78, MO was mouth watering.

Pope Paul from the 1960's. I loved his hat and smile.

Abraham Lincoln

At 10, I had crushes on Sally Field, Patty Duke and Hayley Mills.

I was well into my teens before I became aware of the male species.

R84 Wrong thread, you dumb bitch. Hottest guys only.

Peter Breck. Hot and handsome.

Peter Breck when he got older. Not quite the same.......

Michael Landon was always a hottie.

Lloyd Bridges in Sea Hunt.

Gardner McKay in Adventures in Paradise.

All those young contract stars who had leads in TV westerns and and detective shows in the late 1950s/early 60s Warner Bros. TV shows, so often photographed shirtless.

Below is young Jeff Bridges with Daddy Loyd in an episode of Sea Hunt. Daddy was often photographed in brief speedos showing distinct box and for the time big pex. Then called a big chest.

Ask for it and I'll post ultimate daddy Clint Walker in Cheyenne.

David Soul on Here Come the Brides.

I almost forgot about Bobby Sherman.

James Darren in The Time Tunnel

The only reason I watched WKRP.

Try again

Damn so of y'all are OLD!

Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes - an amoeba. Yuck.

In 1976? Probably Clint Eastwood.

Tom Selleck was also very hot in 1976, but he wasn't that famous yet.

Jesse mccartney the better beiber

I had my first wet dream at the end of third grade. I dreamt about Christopher Reeve. Remember it like it was yesterday.

R100 Fellow millennial here and Jesse's bod was always...less than stellar

r24 Gee, Wally.

R101 Agreed about Christopher Reeve. His body was sexy, not overly built. Stunning blue eyes and what I am assuming was dyed black hair. I guess Elvis made dyed black hair la mode.

R102 didn’t matter when he started out he was everything! The middle school girls and gaylings were all over that shit.

JFK Jr. had it all!

R106 link no work. Don't link Pinterest

But yeah fucking hot!

Rob Lowe!!

Rob Lowe is too generic. That is like saying Bruce Willis is hot. He is just an everyman.

He was before my time but I grew up with a crazy dirty dancing addicted aunt babysitting me and Patrick Swayze !!!! I wanted him even at 5!

R93 you are so,right.......Gary Sandy in those tight jeans. That bulge gave me my first hard on

R110 Swayze was sexy and adored by a billion frauen. He was known to have a huge fat cock. In his Dirty Dancing days few would have refused his big cock.

Another vote for Robert Conrad in 'The Wild, Wild West'.

Robert Conrad: broad, hairy chest, big pex and hot bobble ass. But eventually turned out to be a dwarf.

R114 I love bobble ass!

Oh yes Robert Conrad.And Larry Wilcox.A thoughts of Robert Conrad and Larry Wilcox.And then Gil Gerard opened the door and walked in.

Taylor Hanson the pretty one

Sorry, r115, typo. Bubble ass, not bobble ass. Conrad was hot in all the particulars but he was even smaller than me, and I'm barely 5'7".

R118 I know! Just fucking with you

No hard feelings...DON'T FF and block me!

Wonder Woman's Lyle Waggoner

Errol Flynn

another vote for Jon-Erik Hexum, more to the point, Phineas Bogg.

Hot, Heroic. Surrogate dad to fatherless boy.

I still swoon over that God help me and God rest his soul.

Robert Conrad

Devon Sawa (Casper)

George is casting an approving gaze Bob's way!

Davy Jones.

R125, that might not be all that he's casting.

Yes...we ALL know that he looks like a crackhead now R79. Thanks for the 20-year-old update.

Oh, OP honey, let me disabuse you of the notion that Howell was the gorgeous one in THE OUTSIDERS.

Everyone knows it was Macchio as Johnny Cade. Those beautiful smouldering eyes, that vulnerability!

All about Bob.

Sky King but you're all too young to remember that show

I was 10 in 1962. I loved Johnny Crawford who played Mark McCain on 'The Rifleman' .

Bruce Jenner

Milburn Drysdale.

R24 = Larry Mondello

For those gay men about my age, it's difficult to image that Brian Kelly did not occupy alot of their incipient dirty thoughts.

Rob Lowe, and I'd still do him.

R136 Who is Brian Kelly?

I was nuts too about Burt Ward. Thought he was the most handsome guy ever. After Batman did he just stop the karate and do nothing but drink milkshakes?

Somebody no body but nobody ever mentions and I was crazy about was Bill Bixby in Martian and Courtship. He was so cute. Shocked that he died so young. I was so hoping he was gay but apparently not.

Brian Kelly was the father on FLIPPER.

Episode after episode, he never seemed to wear a shirt.

I think I was just a little too old for Flipper. Thanks, r140.

I'm pleased that one person has already named Robert Culp.

Brian Kelly of Flipper. Daddy, law enforcement officer, and often shirtless. The trifecta!

I clipped a number of Jim Palmer Jockey underwear ads and kept them in my bedroom. He later credited the lighting team for the pictures, but the subject was damn fine

Elder Gay here,

Ryan O'Neal from Peyton Place days, Just beautiful.

Nothing beat the mid 70s Jack Scalia

Nick Kamen in that Levi's 501 commercial from 1984. I'd never seen such a beautiful man ( I was 9).

Loved this commercial and the nerdy guy in the suit. The hero is just trashy.

Continuing the theme of guys in commercials, I recall the now deceased Scott Madsen when he was promoting Soloflex.

Pat Boone in Journey to the Center of the Earth. He had a nude scene!

Drake Bell, Jesse McCarthy, Aaron Carter.

Mozart

I don't recall dong, r150. And I saw JTTCOTE a number of times. Didn't he cover his dong with a sheep?

Goodness. WHO writes R152's dialog? SO clever.

Today there are no pressures to be in the closet if you come from an enormously famous prestigious liberal family known by the entire world. Everybody is totally comfortable with their homosexuality especially if they have political or theatrical ambitions.

Are you talking Schlossberg, r155?

Leslie Cheung. Ah, those lips.

R129 Wrong. Macchio was too plebeian for my tastes. Like Rob Lowe. Generic. I thought C Thomas Howell was a good actor and I loved his tight jeans. After C Thomas Howell, the sexiest would be Swayze and Dillon.

The Pat Boone nude scene involved a lamb and a flock of nuns.

The appeal for me of actors like Robert Culp is their sexy fleshiness. I'd love to rest my weary head on his soft tum-tum. Sadly the next generation brought us the rock-hard abs look.

Not wrong, r129. Macchio tops Howell in The Outsiders.

Another vote for Jim Palmer. Beautiful man.

Clark Brandon from Mr. Merlin.

Harrison Ford in "Raiders of he Lost Ark"

R161 Whatever, fascist.

Lucky Vanous {Diet Coke}

Alexander the Great

If I were ten today, I would say Julian Morris.

Rod Taylor was from before my time, but I saw The Birds when I was around 10 years old and thought that he was the hottest thing I'd ever seen.

R12, see Mike.

Zack efron he was so beautiful

Some of y’all had serious daddy fetishes at 10.

Yeah - Christopher Reeve!! 10 year old me fell in love with him after watching Superman: his eyes were so blue, hair so black, that curl, that smile, that body, that scream! (such emotion!) before he turned back time to bring Lois back.... By far, my biggest childhood crush! (still is when I watch Superman I and II again).

R26 I have to agree.... there was something so soft about him but he was strangely masculine in appearance (at the time, of course). Shame what happened.

Hugh Beaumont, of course. Beaver Cleaver's father.

He was smokin' hot.

Fuck all of you that are glad I'm Dead!? You'll never make what I did in my career!

Don Grady / Robbie Douglas

At age ten, I was all about Tom Wopat and Jameson Parker.

@R177 Yes ! Don Grady was indeed hot. So was the young dude who played Wally Cleaver (Beaver's bro).

Ten in 1973:

Robert Redford, Paul Newman, O. J. Simpson, Mark Spitz, James Caan, Rock Hudson

I didn't know OJ Simpson ever made anyone hot. Thanks for sharing.

once upon a time....a boy with moonlight in his bush.......

When I was 10 I found my mom's Playgirl mag under her bed. I was very careful how I put it back.

I guess this stud (Al Cavuto) was my first "crush".

I didn't understand why but I knew there was something about this picture I really, REALLY liked.

Eric Stoltz fully nude in Haunted Summer was an HBO favorite.

(lord HBO put me through puberty, and parents never knew)

another vote for george maharis, didn't know then he was family, but i wanted to be in his family

paging dr. kildare

paul newman

Gil Gerard on Buck Rogers.

Tarzan Mike Henry

Agreed on Gil Gerard. I bought Buck Rogers season 1 on DVD just to drool over him. I loved his skin tight spandex costume. He always bordered on being fat but that smile always got me.

The top three: Robert Conrad (Wild, Wild West), Brian Kelly (Flipper) and Vince Edwards (Ben Casey). I think half of all gays in the sixties jerked off to Conrad.

I used to wait for TV stations to schedule Robinson Crusoe On Mars, just to see that blink-and-you-miss-it scene of Paul Mantee nude.

[quote]The top three: Robert Conrad (Wild, Wild West), Brian Kelly (Flipper) and Vince Edwards (Ben Casey). I think half of all gays in the sixties jerked off to Conrad.

I was in the "didn't" half. I barely knew who he was before I joined Datalounge. I never, ever watched westerns.

The Bay City Rollers. All of them.

Billy Idol. I think it was that bad boy snarl/smirk

Kurt Russell, and continuing for 30 years.

Ted McGinley personified peak mid-80s hotness.

I find it hard to believe that so many of you were turned on by adult men when you were ten. You're just projecting your now-adult fantasies on men of that era.

it was just sex, it was romance, what son wouldn't trade in his boring dad to be doted on by lloyd bridges?

wasn't

John Saxon

R197 WTF! That is the stupidest thing I have heard today. It is normal to be turned on by "daddies" or older men when you are a young boy of ten or even younger. The topic is who you thought was the hottest when you were 10. Doesn't mean most boys were having any sex with older men at ten, ya stupid fuck.

Someone explain to R197 that children of both ages get romantic crushes on fully grown schoolteachers of both sexes too.

r194 Billy Idol never looked like a real boy. It always surprises me to learn he had a working penis.

r197 is a fucking idiot.

r197 would be calling you "pedo" if you were attracted to anyone who wasn't an adult male, even though you were only ten.

John James in Dynasty, ocassionally getting out of a swimming pool slowly, or stepping out of a shower.

And, shortly thereafter, Billy Zane who I was obsessed by before I even understood that I was a gayling.

After seeing Sean Connery in "Goldfinger" at age 12, I was smitten.

R29, aka The Big One, according to Kirstie.

R197- yeah cuz I’m walking around in 2018 with a potent sexual crush on Ted McGinley in Revenge of the Nerds. 🙄What a fucking idiot.

Definitely Shaun Cassidy.

I had my sexual awakening during a matinee screening of the roadshow version of CAMELOT.

I was 13 in 1988 during the height of the Aids debacle, but that year my biggest crush was Brian Kerwin in Torch Song Trilogy. Known for his Ivy League looks, he had a hot face and perfect body. He is probably dead by now, at least his career would be.

The AIDS debacle did nothing to kill r212's essential cuntescence.

R213 That stench of diseased cunt you smell is you, little girl.

R212, Brian Kerwin is alive and straight. Last film/tv credit I find is 2015. His wife died in 2016. He is in rehearsal foe a play at Second Stage.

Max Gail. I could just imagine he had a nice thick pud.

Nick Nolte in Rich Man, Poor Man always gave me a hardon.

Nolte was really sexy in TEACHERS. Every young boy’s dream.

Mark Spitz

Chace Crawford.

Joey Lawrence

Joey Lawrence. How plebeian of you.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Ryan Phillipe

Freddie Prinze Jr.

Will Estes

Erik Von Detten and the rest of the So Weird Cast

Rider Strong

Matthew Lawrence

And of course Brand Renfro

What was Will Estes in, R223? Do you still watch him in Blue Bloods?

[quote]say ten y o

Sorry, creepy illiterate queen. I don't speak Tagalog.

R226 is enough of a cunt for 50 bitches. Please play in traffic, take some cyanide, fentanyl, whatever.

Ryan pinkston Chris colfer Matthew Broderick

r227 is obviously well-versed in "cunt."

Lloyd Bridges in Sea Hunt.

Carl Betz in The Donna Reed Show.

Julius Caesar was a stone cold stud.

When I was really young, before puberty even, it was Michael Shea AKA Huckleberry Finn. He is the one on the right.

Apparently he gave up acting by the time he was around 20 and became a police officer for 30 plus years.

Bobby Sherman, his feathered hair and his choker.

I had a huge crush on Huckleberry Finn, too, but from the 1973 movie version, Jeff East (with Johnny Witaker as Tom Sawyer and Jodie Foster as Becky Thacher).. Boy's Life had a photo spread on him when the movie came out, and I'd look at his photo and think how beautiful he was.

Mark Spitz and Bruce Jenner. Ugh, Bruce now, never..

Ryan O’Neal, in What’s Up, Doc? Without a shirt and his pants down to his ankles, he awakened the imagination of my 9-year old self.

So many .......... Back when men proudly flaunted their bulges!

[quote] Erik Von Detten and the rest of the So Weird Cast

I’m dying at ErikVonD. He used to be a DL antifave, WHET to him?

I had the most insane teenage craving for him in the knockoff DINOTOPIA series (not the Disney one with Wentworth, but the lesser-known and slightly better one) and that shitty cancelled ABC sitcom ODD MAN OUT (which a foxy 30-something Brandon Routh was in, as was a young Trevor Ferman of CLERKS fame).

10 years from now, 20 year old twinks will be adding "Michael Avenatti" to this thread.

If I had encountered him when I was 10, I would have been transfixed.

Seriously R239? I respectfully disagree with you on that call.

Same here, r240. He's BALD.

Shaun Cassidy - had a hit album and was on The Hardy Boys

John Schneider and his big bulge was always hot in the execrable Dukes of Hazzard.

[quote]Same here, [R240]. He's BALD.

So was Mr. Clean.

How I wished he would show up while I was playing in back yard.....

Karen Valentine's early 70s husband whoever he was. I noticed him from an issue of Modern Screen or one of the movie magazines from that time. In the article there was a full page color photo of Karen and him in a nude embrace that showed some butt crack.

R238 Totally forgot about Trevor Fehrman. I kept confusing him with Topher Grace but looking back, Trevor was way hotter. Like Von Detten, he seems to have disappeared.

Al Santos.

Jake from “16 Candles”. Close the thread. I win!

Trevor Noah

Movie star Cornell Wilde.

Leo in Catch Me if You Can

R183, that's some beaut. Not like today's inflated himbos. Anyone know if he's around?

My first ejaculation was within seconds of reaching puberty and it was while watching Thunderbirds on Saturday morning in my bedroom. Ever since I've been attracted exclusively to men with thick necks, big lips and glassy eyes. And Julie Christie.

Burt Reynolds

R254 I was madly in love with John Tracy as a little kid. I was a loner albeit ostracised as a child so I related to his quiet solitary existence all alone out there on Thunderbird 5. Also, those Bowie-esque cheekbones!

R256 You were in love with a cartoon. Sick fuck.

Yes to von Detten. That boy was fucking gorgeous. I drooled over him in all of those Disney movies (Brink!). Classic SoCal blondie. And he looks fine as fuck these days too.

Tommy Kirk in Swiss Family Robinson. They showed his ass (clothed) a lot.

Richard Chamberlain

James Franciscus when he was starring in the tv series. Needless to say I wanted a teacher who looked like Mr. Novak but it never happened.

The picture shows him in a movie not in his tv Mr. Novak role.

R261, He was Jane Fonda's first boyfriend back in the 1950s.

Mark Spitz

Randolph Mantooth the paramedic on Emergency!

There were so any, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Ricky Nelson.

Luke Perry and Jason Priestly. Now Brian Austin Green looks way better than either of them, he looks like he fucks hard

R263 See R219

This picture was j/o material for me.

I agree with Mark Spitz but only when he showed his belly button below his medals.

Of course JM Vincent courtesy of Buster and Billie. It's ironic how shocker Vincent and anti-nudity crusader Kilmer have both gone totally to seed.

True dat. How will they explain Val Kilmer's wretched appearance in Top Gun.

OMFG. Val Kilmer is back. Yikes. How long till that old gal goes tits up?

Bud and Sandy on flipper

....

Gil Gerard, before he got fat.

R274 a with his boy toy Gary Coleman when he guest star on Buck Rodgers. Oh with Ernie Reyes Jr. On that other show

Josh Hartnett.

My stepmom found my collection of his shirtless pics torn from magazines and confronted me about my sexuality. Then my father beat my ass, hoping, I guess, to turn me straight.

OMG I was like literally in love with Justin Bieber like YAAAAZ DADDY

R276 too bad they never threw you off a 200 story building too. Fuck off with your trolling.

That seems an extreme reaction, r278. Ignoredar reveals nothing about r276.

R279 is R276. Ignored.

Gregory Harrison and Matt Dillon

Randolph Mantooth

Harrison Ford
