Who was the most beautiful male to you, growing up?

Mark Spitz

When I was young my mom and I would watch the 10:30 pm movie on Saturday nights, and it would always be some ancient tearjerker like "Backstreet" or "Madame X" or of course the ultimate tearjerker of all, "Imitation of Life." As an eleven year old, I thought "Thoroughly Modern Millie" was the most PERFECT film ever, lol. So for me it was John Gavin. That was before I was old enough to care that he was a Rethug.

How many times, in how many ways, are we going to be asked to answer this question. Once more, Tim Considine.

r3 You didn't have to answer it!

If I'm going to take the time to read it, I'm probably going to answer it, dumbass.

I did not see it at the time, but now I know Pierce Brosnan was incrdibly good looking.

I used to watch Remington Steele religiously and wished he'd hook up with Stephanie Zimbalist. Little did I know that they hated each other while they were filiming RS.

From celebs it was Fernando Colunga. And from people I knew it was one my dad's co-workers: he looked like a sexier version of Chris Noth. We usually spent summer vacation together with his family and it was great fun to watch him walk around in his speedos.

My moms youngest brother. He ws a late in life baby,so was only about 10 years older than me. He was tall,with black hair and green eyes,slim yet muscular,and always threw a huge bulge. I remember being around 6 or so,and just staring as his muscles rippled while we were swimming at a lake. He was the first time I can recall wanting to touch a man THAT way . The perfect 70's man really,all tight clothes and longish hair. It also didnt hurt he was very,very sexual and had women (and a few men) throwing themselves at him since his early teens. Just to throw out a teaser,but when I was 16 or so I got me some of that and the reality was beyond better than the fantasy ! Its a trip to me now to see him as an old man,when I clearly remember how incredible he looked back then.

Young Alain Delon.

Ew. Nephew porn from the nephew.

Loved r8's story.

My father. He was really handsome (but aged not so weel. Mostly his face) Dark hair-blue eyes. Great body. And his clothes during week-end was always very elegant. But anytime I’m tryed to date a guy like that everything failed sadly for me... I gave up this kind of guy.

Among persons known to me, it was my classmate Mike who was considered the best looking boy in our high school. He was blond and blue-eyed when I have almost always been attracted to dark haired men. He was the football quarterback, ran track, and played on the basketball team. I could not take my eyes off of him in Phys Ed when we did swimming. I was so worried I’d get hard when we were in the showers but I timed mine to his. His body was smooth and defined like I love. He sat next to me in first year French, and I fed him all the answers to quizzes, though I wished he had been feeding me his glorious cock as I breathed in his blond Adonis pube musk. Have not been able to locate him on social media.

Ted McGinley. We went to high school and college together, although he was 2 years younger. Besides being hot, he has a nice personality- friendly to everyone.

Gregory Peck

Well, first Cubby the Little Drummer Boy, then Spin (not Marty), then Wally Cleaver. But mostly Zorro (Guy Williams)!

Many more in my teens! Robert Conrad (initially in "Hawaiian Eye"), Paul McC., Michael Burns ("Wagon Train"), Mike Pender (" The Searchers"), Vince Edwards (Dr. Ben Casey), Peter McEnery ("The Moon-Spinners" with Hayley Mills), Dave Debuschere (Knicks), Joe Namath, Sandy Koufax, Mark Spitz.... etc.

But forever and all time: Tyrone Power.

Ooh, why did they hate each other R6? I've heard that Pierce Brosnan is a really nice guy irl.

"Spin" was played by Tim Considine, r16.

Jon-Erik Hexum

I'm drawing a blank with that name R19.

I see what you did there R20.

James Garner.

Cary Elwes In ‘The Princess Bride’ made me feel a certain way as a boy. Oddly, he’s not my type as an adult.

[quote]Its a trip to me now to see him as an old man,when I clearly remember how incredible he looked back then.

Uh, R8, if he's only about ten years your elder, then you realize that YOU'RE AN OLD MAN TOO!

James Franciscus.....damn, he was beautiful.

OP is a pedo apologist.

R26 is part of Pedo Anonymous. His post is part of his step 9.

There were so many, the guy living next door, the bagger at the grocery store, my father's assistant manager, probably a few I forgot, but the most beautiful to me was probably Robert F Kennedy.

R24 Well no shit,Sherlock !

r23, Christopher Atkins in the Blue Lagoon had the same effect on my, but today is totally not my type. Although I also thought Brooke Shields was the most beautiful person on the planet, so I may have attributed those feelings to her.

Rod Taylor, especially in “The Time Machine” (1960), which I saw when it first came out, many times.

Stocky, muscular, hairy, very masculine.

When I was 16, I actually joined his fan club. Yeah, me and 487 middle aged women.... Not too obvious.

Brad Pitt and still would.

I second that choice (Jon-Eric Hexum!) It was tragic, he accidentally killed himself while on set of a movie he was making playing with a gun prop loaded with fake bullets, but he pulled the trigger next to his head and the force of the explosion tore an artery and bled to death! But he was gorgeous: piercing blue eyes and wavy blood hair! (I think he was only 22 when this accident happened).

Someone to remember actor Jonathan Brandis (especially his water’ scenes) ? Too sad when I learnt he committed suicide years after.

r33...He was 26....Hexum was apparently unaware that his actions were dangerous. Blanks use paper or plastic wadding to seal gunpowder into the cartridge, and this wadding is propelled from the barrel of the gun with enough force to cause injury if the weapon is fired within a few feet of the body should it strike at a particularly vulnerable spot, such as the temple or the eye. At a close enough range, the effect of the powder gasses is a small explosion, so although the paper wadding in the blank that Hexum discharged did not penetrate his skull, there was enough blunt force trauma to shatter a quarter-sized piece of his skull and propel the pieces into his brain, causing massive hemorrhaging.[1][7]

I think when I was VERY young, it was definitely Guy Madison. In teen years, it was Tab Hunter and Troy Donahue. Early adult years, Robert Redford. From then on, it's been varied...for the past several years, it's been model Justin Clynes, who I find devastatingly handsome.

r26 How so?

Tony Dow

R17

Perhaps hate is too strong a word. I did read that they did not get aong, things were tense on set, and Stephanie envied Pierce's popularity.

bump

In 7th Grade, my Science teacher Mr. A. I literally got a boner every time he walked into the room. He was so hot and yet had married a fat ugly wife. (A few years after I graduated high school, he divorced the wife and married a student as soon as she graduated). I was in 7th Grade when the first season of Charlie's Angels premiered. He talked non-stop about how hot he thought they were.

[quote]But [Jon-Eric Hexum] was gorgeous: piercing blue eyes and wavy blood hair!

He only got the wavy blood hair when he pulled the trigger.

Tom Selleck

Yes, Hexum's beauty is rarely matched.

Early 70's. It was Redford's world but I had a hard crush on Bates

For me it was Christopher Atkins.And I’m a black man who still has a fetish for cute-butted blonde twinks to this day.He was heavenly.

My Sunday School teacher. Early 20s, blonde, blue eyes. Once we all went to the beach and I couldn't stop staring at his muscly, lightly blonde peach fuzz hairy chest.

I was obsessed with the Swedish tennis player Thomas Enqvist when I was in my early teens. And hunky Carlos Moya.

Brian Bloom was the star of As the World Turns and the star of all my childhood fantasies... Thanks mom, for being such a fan of "As" as she called it... "Oh, As is on!"

James Franciscus as Mr. Novak. Sadly there were no Mr. Novaks in any schools I attended.

I think his name was Peter Brown? He was the brunet in the western Lorado. But there were many others- Bill Toomey the decathlete... woof

In 7th grade I kept this box of Wheaties in my bedroom. I thought Bruce Jenner was the epitome of masculinity and so handsome.

Probably David Gandy. I remember being 8 and seeing him in the Dolce and Gabbana "Light Blue" ad in 2007. I thought he was the most visually pleasing creature in existence.

Warren Beatty..after seeing him in Bonnie and Clyde when I was a teen. I had the biggest crush on him! That movie was on TCM this morning.. lol.

So, so many.

OJ Simpson

When I was 8 and at summer camp run by a religious order of monks, they played an old Tony Curtis movie called"The Great Impostor." In one scene, he took his shirt off to help wash the dishes. I still don't know why he took his shirt off, but I was glad he did. He was one of my first clues that I was not like most of the other little boys.

I hope that Bloom guy at r49 learned at some point to stop putting his mascara on with a trowel.

My grade 8 teacher was so beautiful. He was only 23....he was my first real man crush.

Jon-Erik Hexum, hands down.

DIck Gautier

[quote] Yes, Hexum's beauty is rarely matched.

Nor his idiocy.

Freddy on "Scooby-Doo." Then Aquaman on "Super Friends."

Oddly, I did not develop a thing for blonds as an adult.

R62, must be nice going through life being perfect and never making a mistake.

Prick.

Overall I'd have to say it was Lloyd Bridges. I couldn't wait for Sea Hunt every week to catch a glimpse of him in his tight swim trunks and no shirt. Then I segued over to Robert Conrad. Wild Wild West was required viewing for my young burning loins. Also I was enchanted by Mark Goddard from Lost In Space.

Loved Joel McCrea. He had a natural sexiness and tall lean body. I am in my 50's. so I only know him from old movies, but damn, he was fine.

It started with Kent McCord, segued into Mr. Hopkins (my 24-year-old sixth grade teacher) and ended with Coach Dorr (my junior high school gym teacher...looked just like Mark Spitz).

R8 Do you have any photos of him? If not, which actor or model did he closely resemble?

Race Bannon

Then Jim Palmer from his Jockey ads.

Then Greg Louganis.

Now it's like every muscular Asian guy on Instagram who "models" underwear or Speedos and there are a ton. (Edison Fanye and his gang.)

Of course, William Shatner.

Also, batman and robin on the TV show.

Max Baer, Jr.

Demond Wilson (not really into black guys) but his bulge always got me. Hey, grammar queen guy, I spelled bulge correctly so you don't need to throw it in quotes and say "oh dear"

Nathan Lane

R69 OMG! Race Bannon was my first crush! And I was in 1st grade.

Race Bannon, good one!

I think Race Bannon was buggering Johnny every night after he and Dr. Quest spit roasted Hadji.

Gene Shalit.

I went through my series of boyhood crushes on dark haired actors beginning with Peter Dual, then Kent McCord, Randolph Mantooth, Erik Estrada.

At age 13, I fell hard for my tennis coach. He was 23, 6'3" tall, blond, and beautiful. He had travelled around the world, and he fascinated me with his stories. He never treated me like a kid. He must have known that I had a crush on him. I still get hard thinking about him taking me in his arms.

Nothing ever happened, but I did become a better tennis player because of him.

Rod Taylor in "The Birds" and "The Liquidator". I watched them a few years apart and lusted after him in both without realizing it was the same actor in both.

Paul Newman.

I cut out the various Jockey ads with Jim Palmer in them. I caught an interview with him, and he credited the lighting director as the true artist behind those ads.

Yes, the lighting (and shadows) were good. But that hairy muscular chest was perfection to 12yo me.

Like R13 I also went to school with a guy named Mike and he was my biology desk partner. We got to know each other very well during the year we sat together and also had a few other classes together. I think he wanted to be more than friends but I was too much in awe of him I was afraid to take the next step. He was so beautiful in so many ways. I saw him several times in the shower and he was so fine from head to foot. He wasn't super well-hung but it was good enough. He caught me looking at him while he was naked and I think he liked it. Perhaps if we had mutual interests we could have done something together after school. Anyway, that was a long time ago.

I still think about him standing in the shower soaping up his beautiful body and I get a bit hard and it makes me smile. Thanks Mike!

I actually thought I was straight until about the 5th grade. It was then that I developed a crush on a boy in my class named Daniel. He was so cute. I would say and do whatever stupid thing he told me to so I could make him laugh. I knew was just making a joke out of me but I didn't care. I would let him because he was so hot.

[quote] I hope that Bloom guy at [R49] learned at some point to stop putting his mascara on with a trowel.

I'd say he did.

When I was about ten, the best swimmer on the summer team was a 15 year old guy named Shannon. Maybe he was 16. But at my young age I looked up to him. Because he was such a damned good swimmer. That soon turned into what I guess was a crush. He was tow headed blond. Lightly wavy blond hair. Amazing swimmers build. Thicket of blond hair under his arms. On his legs. Drove me wild. I remember remarking for the first time the sight of a "treasure trail" on a guy. Damnnnnnnn. Wonder what he's up to.

Another vote for James Garner. I thought he was the perfect man then, and I still do today!

Another vote for Robert Conrad.

The Professor - Gilligan’s Island

There was a beautiful blond haired, blue eyed boy in my class in elementary school and it was pretty difficult not to stare at him. He was the prettiest but I knew he was a little shit and kind of a moron sometimes so I enjoyed looking at him but didn't really want to get close. Also once during recess he kissed his (male) best friend with tongue for a dare, than made puking sounds the whole afternoon. That was fun.

There was a boy in my grade who had a chest similar to Miles O'Keefe...he would wear those velour type shirts with the deep V....I was stunned and secretly lusted after him....(O'Keefe was prime JO material for me so this kid was even more so)

My next door neighbor.....he looked like Jon Hamm.

There were a bunch of guys one grade ahead that I always lusted after. The two that come to mind were both sort of Nordic - one had blond hair and was medium height and very muscular, one was very tall with brown hair and way beefier. I had gym with both and both of them were packing nicely.

My roommate's dad during my sophomore year of college, who was beautiful in a sort of young Mark Harmon way. He'd always call me "sport" and rest his hand on my shoulder as he said goodbye after dropping his son off for the week. I so wish something would have happened.

When I was about eleven I had the worst crush on David Bowie. The worst. I could recite his whole discography year by year, musicians and all, could date any picture based on his hair, knew everything there was to know about him. I borrowed his bio at the library and copied the whole thing into a textbook. (Yeah, that was pre internet). I was obsessed and it wasn't pretty. Still think he was beautiful, and his voice still warms me up.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Just about anyone but Tim Considine

John Herbert

Randolph Mantooth

Richard Chamberlain

Lee Majors. Years later, I learned Rock Hudson brought him to Hollywood and the Farrah marriage was a sham.

Harry Styles

Scott Baio. Too bad he's gone insane.

There were so many.

Mike Minor from Petticoat Junction. Lyle Waggoner from the Carol Burnett Show, and of course, Robert Conrad.

Two guys in high school -- Paul B. And Steve A. -- both had gorgeous features and muscular bodies. Both still looked pretty good at our last high school reunion.

R14 More about Ted Mcginley please. Did he get a lot of pussy in high school and college?

[quote]Another vote for James Garner. I thought he was the perfect man then, and I still do today!

Wellll, today maybe not so much.

Errol Flynn

My best friend's older brother Mark who lived across the street from me. He was gorgeous with an amazing body that he loved to show off. He rarely wore a shirt and I would watch him from our front window with binoculars whenever he was cutting the grass. I used to watch their house whenever they went on vacation and I'd go through his underwear drawer and his room looking for whatever I could find. One day I found his porno stash and I put on a pair of his underwear and shot my load in them in about 10 seconds. I didn't know what to do so I kept them and jerked off in them all the time. I wonder if he ever noticed they were missing.

Burke Ramsey.

Like most gaylings of my generation I had the usual crushes on Lee Majors, Mark Goddard, Gary Conway and a host of 60s-70s TV stars, but the one that helped me figure myself out was James Naughton, from TV's Planet of the Apes. Flash forward to the then-new revival of Chicago on Broadway, in which Mr. Naughton was starring. A friend of mine was dating one of the chorus boys, and he managed to not only get us tickets (hottest ticket in town at that time), but he invited us to mingle backstage. I remember Lorenzo Lamas was there, looking oh-so-delectable, and oh, so bored... Anyway, as my friend and I were saying goodnight outside the stage door, out comes James Naughton. In one of my only moments of courage I stopped him, told him how much I enjoyed his performance, and then blurted out that I had had a huge crush on him back in the day. He had the grace to smile and say, "Aww... Thanks. That's really sweet of you." and wish me a good night before heading home. Beautiful man, inside and out.

Mac Davis

Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko. He’s still the most beautiful specimen of a man in my eyes. x

Gregory Harrison

Rutger Hauer

R108, I will forever think fondly of him for being kind to you at that moment.

I've worked as a celeb journalist and seen incredible moments of kindness and horrific instances of pure meanness.

If someone appears vulnerable, then it's on the other person to be kind -- fucking fake it if you don't really mean it. But just be kind.

Tom Selleck

He made chest hair sexy again

Batman

Chad Allen during the My Two Dads era. He was my same age about then too. There was a commercial with him shirtless in a pool I had on tape and I would pause it and stare every time. My tastes changed a lot as I got older, and by the time Dr. Quinn came out I was over it.

River Phoenix, and he always will be.

R115 More details, please. Which one is your favorite Batman? (actor)

It changed every 2 years or so. I just watched the American Experience special on Woodstock (1969). I was a boy. We were always in Woodstock, the town. Young men were nice and sweet, then. The vide was to be peaceful, turn on, drop out. The drugs helped. I always liked handsome men who were sweethearts. Wasn't until my 20's I became attracted to many other types.

😍💋❤👅

Gregory Harrison in Trapper John, M.D.

Gil Gerard in Buck Rogers. That hairy chest and meaty bulge....
