First TV Crush As a Young Gayling

Zak on Saved By The Bell

Ron Ely AKA Tarzan. He made me tingle down there...

Davey Jones

Kerr Smith. He played Ryder on As the World Turns, and then Jack on Dawson’s Creek. I thought he was so beautiful...

Eddie Cibrian was a distant second (those dimples!). Can you tell I have a type?

Burt Ward as Robin on Batman.

If you were old enough that "... at one point I jizzed my pants I had gotten so turned on" then you were old enough to know what a crush was.

This is useless without pictures

William Conrad as Frank Cannon.

Homer Simpson

Jason Bateman, he was on some shitty sitcom that didn't last long.

John Banner from Hogan Heroes

I can't tell you how much seed I spilled watching Will Friedle on Boy Meets World.

R12 = Matthew Lawrence

Kevin Kubusheskie from You Can't Do That on Television. I was 8.

Nate Richert aka Harvey Sabrina's boyfriend on Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Shaun Cassidy on The Hardy Boys.

Tommy Rettig of Lassie.

Bobby Sherman on Here Come the Brides.

Hugh O'Brian, "Wyatt Earp" The chest hair got me excited,

Lou Grant, Mary's boss

Fyvush Finkel, Picket Fences 🍆💦😮

R12 & R13 Will and Matthew's characters totally had a "gay" vibe to it. I know it was meant to be "bromance comedy" that was common in the 90s, but if that show was written today, they would have become a couple.

Joey Lawrence on Blossom...WHOA!

Mel Sharples

Bea Arthur

Mark Goddard on lost in space reruns. Or Burt Ward. I always liked sidekicks better. I named my first cat Bert because Ernie got all the love.

Vivian Vance on ILL

Tom Selleck in Magnum, P.I. In the opening credits when he comes out of the surf in short shorts with that hairy chest.

Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many to list here....

clint walker, steve reeves, reg park, robert horton, lee majors, gil gerard, tom selleck, reb brown, jon erik hexum, the batman tv series, mike henry, various soap opera stars, and so on and so on...

[quote] Joey Lawrence on Blossom...WHOA!

Joey Lawrence on Brotherly Love...WHOA!

[quote] I can't tell you how much seed I spilled watching Will Friedle on Boy Meets World.

R12, what did you find attractive about him? I thought he was sexy as well.

Albert Ingalls when he was a teen.

This was my guy.

Jesse Metcalfe on 'Passions.'

There must have been others before him, but he was the first to come to mind. So fine.

Lorenzo Lamas swanning around 'Falcon Crest' in a Speedo. Or shirtless. Or shirtless in his Speedo.

Parker Stevenson of the Hardy Boys.

My first was Jack Wild. I was 9 and had just seen Oliver! And I was watching PufnStuf.

For DLers of a certain age, it all begins and ends with Robert Conrad.

Runners-up: Van Williams (The Green Hornet) and Brian Kelly (Flipper) and Tony Dow (Leave It To Beaver)

Chris O'Donnell as Robin

Doug McClure on "The Virginian"

oh wait that was a movie, not tv. never mind.

Carlos Ponce on Univision.

I'm with you, R40!

Randy Mantooth, "Emergency!"

I third R40

Mark Harmon on “Flamingo Road”

Grant Goodeve and Bubba Higgins

R40 speaks the truth. I LOVED Friday nights with Robert Conrad shirtless and in tight pants.

Rick Nelson

Alejandro Rey

R52 - apologies for derailing this thread, but how did ANYONE sell a story about a nun who could fly because of her habit to TV execs? That is fucking nuts.

Not only that R53, but the show is filled with intense sexual chemistry between the young nun and that Carlos guy.

I forgot how sexy Carlos was!

There was a nun on the show? I didn’t notice.

Dr. Kildare. (Sorry, to lazy to post pic)

Jason the Red Ranger.

Hank the Ranger in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS the animated series was the first 'person' I remember crushing on. Later, it was Zack Morris in SAVED BY THE BELL and Jason Priestley in 90210.

Here's the same answer I always give: Dave Hedison on "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea;" circa 1965, I think. I was a wee little gay, but I knew I liked watching him.

Dorothy Provine, from the early ‘60s TV series, The Roaring Twenties.

[quote] Dorothy Provine, from the early ‘60s TV series, The Roaring Twenties.

Despite R61 being a post about a cis man expressing attraction to a woman, this is the gayest post on the thread thus far.

When I was a kid, the local station started showing Flipper reruns. I couldn’t figure out why I felt tingly when I was watching it.

A couple of years later, The Dukes of Hazzard premiered and I finally KNEW what I was feeling.

I had never heard of Dorothy Provine before. She looks like Doris Day.

Bo and Luke. Sigh.

I first heard of Dorothy Provine because she starred in the B-movie THE BONNIE PARKER STORY, now a cult classic. Tarantino has stated that the film and its director influenced him.

Kent McCord, Adam-12.

Jeff East from the 1973 Tom Sawyer movie. There was an article about him in "Boy's Life" and I would just look at those photo's...I was 8! I recently found the issue of "boy's Life" on e-bay and it's nt as hot as it was when I was 8!

[quote] I recently found the issue of "boy's Life" on e-bay and it's nt as hot as it was when I was 8!

This will cause more wilting:

[quote] I recently found the issue of "boy's Life" on e-bay

Link to seller on E-Bay please.

The Green Hornet...when I was 4

Tom Berenger

Another vote for Jason Bateman. So fucking cute and funny on The Hogan Family 😍

[40] I completely agree. Wild, Wild West always "flooded Mama's basement." Of course, it didn't hurt that they always seem to restrain him immediately after getting him out of his shirt. Not only did it make my 9-year-old boner harder than differential calculus, but gave me a vague foreshadowing of bondage scenarios, which fueled the hormone storms that made up my adolescence.

[quote] "flooded Mama's basement."

?

'Carlos Ramirez' on The Flying Nun

Sabrina Duncan, Charlie's Angels.

Antony Hamilton, circa 1982.

R76, meet R52

Hamilton on horseback -- about 30 seconds in -- was like a living Marlboro Man, except hotter.

I didn't know gay boys in the '60s and '70s lusted after TV characters. I thought that was a fairly recent phenomenon.

[quote] Joey Lawrence on Blossom...WHOA! [quote] Joey Lawrence on Brotherly Love...WHOA!

Joey Lawrence on Gimme A Break!

Jon-Erik Hexum

But I didn't want him to fuck me; I wanted him to protect me like Bogg did Jeffrey on [itliac] Voyagers! [/italic]

[italic] Voyagers! [/italic]

That's sweet, r83.

Chad Allen on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

R86 Chad Allen in the later years of Dr. Quinn for sure, but I think Joe Lando (Sully) made me gay.

Bad boy Bobby Briggs played by Dana ashbrook, billy zane also in twin peaks.

Also sometimes Jason Priestley as Brandon Walsh, never really dug Luke Perry.

Now my taste would be for Michael ontkean

Billy Mumy

R89, you’re a bad man! You’re a very bad man!

Jason Bateman in "Valerie", "Valerie's Family", and "The Hogan Family".

Topher Grace

That 70s Show

Pauly Shore

MTV VJ, Encino Man

Max Baer on the Beverly Hillbillies. I imagined he was hairy downstairs.

Politics aside, this guy

ADDING to my earlier post, (R30) how in the world could i forget guys like kent mccord, doug mcclure, hugh o'brian, brian kelley, van williams and of course robert conrad...been watching old episodes of adam-12 lately and kent mccord was flawlessly facially chiseled handsome...

baywatch with david chokachi and in earlier seasons all the male eye candy including some in bikini speedos in the background as extras..

chris o'donnell should have live in his robin outfit! thanks joel schumacher for highlighting him in that outrageous homoerotic outfit...

ricky nelson was so damn pretty! whew!

bo and luke duke from the dukes of hazzard (that episode where bo (john schneider) is hypnotized is beyond erotic kinky hot!) also gotta love chris mayer who was one half of the "replacement" dukes.. perfect example of the dark feathered hair with amazing blue eyes hunk!....

Ryan O'Neal. Sorry.

I fell in love with this girl the moment I saw her in Cinderella in 1965 (I was 7). She (and others like her, most notably Diana Rigg in the Avengers and Marlo Thomas in That Girl) became "my type" for many years to come.

Initially, Bruce Willis

But ultimately is was Chris Meloni in this short lived sitcom.

Ben Murphy.

AL so William Shatner as Kirk when he is tied to a revolving table shirtless and barefoot.

Erik Estrada

I cast another vote for Joey Lawrence on Blossom and Ricky Nelson. I don’t know if anybody else here remembers Disney Channel used to air reruns of Ozzie and Harriet back in the late 80s/ early 90s. I had no idea who Ricky was, but I knew he gave me a funny feeling in my groin.

Is Will Friedle from Boy Meets World gay? He pinged to me.

R103 I just googled him and apparently he married his long-time girlfriend in 2016. He actually never pinged for me, though I always thought his character was meant to be gay/bi but they couldn't say it in the 90s.

Doug McClure, though he long played a cowboy, he had a certain softness.

I can't remember by first big TV crush but I do recall that Scott Wolf on Party of Five caused my first orgasm.

R106 Scott Wolf was cute! I loved Jason Behr on Rosewell!!!!

Peter Barton - Powers of Matthew Star. Terrible shoe, but he was/is gorgeous. Never married.

shoe = show ;-)

[quote] Terrible shoe

[quote] shoe = show ;-)

And stocking too.

Gary Sandy on WKRP. In particular the episode where his character is asked to pose in a bathing suit for a print ad. I pretended at the time that it was Loni Anderson who was getting me hot and bothered!

Starts around the 7:30 mark.

R110 LOL - I used to buy Tiger Beat and Teen Beat just for photos of him (and Rex Smith and Rob Lowe). I lied and said they were for my sister.

Gregory Harrison on Trapper John, M.D.

R111 I remember watching WKRP reruns with my dad when I was teenager in the 90s. It was awkward cause Gary Sandy's tight jeans made me drool hahaha.

Chad Everett - Medical Center

Richard Simmons( no, not THAT one) star of "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon." Oh Daddy!!!

Vince Edwards, star of "Ben Casey." You just KNOW he was a very sexy, fit-fat(uncut, please) hairball. Y'all can have 'Mr. Custard at Room Temperature' Richard Chamberlain.

Clint Walker. No explanation necessary. The man always seemed to need a bath. Hooray!

R115...yes, yes on chad everett...

does anyone remember the late 1980's/early 1990's superboy tv show! feauturing first drop dead gorgeous pretty boy john haymes newton as superboy and then handsome hunk gerard christopher as his replacement!... both were hot in different ways, although newton looked more like superboy come to life off the pages of the comic book...

I can't believe he hasn't been mentioned, after all the threads we've had on him - Max Gail in "Barney Miller". I've been an ass man ever since I saw him as a kid.

John Denver. I loved his tv specials.

Marc Singer on V

Superstar Sajid Khan.

Dirk Benedict, was the first.

I also had a crush on Robert Fuller, when he played Dr. Brackett on Emergency!

Kirk Cameron (now a douche)

Jonathan Frakes season 1 STTNG

Toby Danza Who’s The Boss?

[quote] Toby Danza

Oh dear

TONY (it was early and that damned autocorrect demon crept in)

Robert Urich in VEGA$.

I was allowed to stay up late during a school night to watch VEGA$. Robert Urich appeared in a bathing suit and / or shirtless in every episode.

Paul Michael Glaser

Paul Reubens

I started noticing Tommy Norden from Flipper during season 3. He was 15, I was 13.

R126 - in case you haven't already seen it, I made an album of caps of Urich's butt here.

^Nice!

R126 and R130...Oh, yes! Robert Urich made me tingle down there. First saw him in S.W.A.T. when it came on TV in 1975. I was 12. Also Steve Forrest as the Hot Daddy Commander tingled my taint!

In 1977, I remember Grant Goodeve in "Eight is Enough" making me squirm in a good way

Ralph Macchio from the Karate Kid films

Fred Savage in the Wonder Years

Rider Strong and Matthew Lawrence in Boy Meets World

R123 Yeah Jonathan Frakes had some great VPL in season 1 TNG and to a lesser extent in season 2. The season 3 uniforms were more comfortable for the actors but far less revealing sadly.

^Agree. He gave major tenting VPL whenever there was a side view. I kept thinking if the uniforms were white, they’d be that much more revealing.

Hello R130 and R132, this is R126. You guys have good taste. I was about 12 or 13 when I noticed Robert Urich in VEGA$ and I didn't understand why I was so mesmerized by him, especially when he took his shirt off. I would think that I'd like Robert Urich as my roommate, but I couldn't figure out why. R130, looking at that album made me smile like a teen. He really was a handsome man.

I bought the Vega$ box set last year just so that I could see him in all his splendor.

I liked Mark Arnold, who played Gavin Wiley on The Edge of Night. He looked so good in his jeans. I also had a thing for Charles Grant, who played Preacher Emerson on the show.

Urich was great. He had those bedroom eyes, and plump cock-sucking lips.

And so did Mario Van Peebles...

Great clip of Cinderella R98. Leslie Ann Warren was talented but her teeth were jacked.

Danger Island!

Jan-Michael Vincent consorts with the natives...

R140 I'm sure more than a few gay guys were in love with her Prince Charming in that Cinderella, Stuart Damon. I was too young to have seen it, but even when I saw him much older on General Hospital he was still a great looking guy, even with a few extra pounds.

Mine is Doug Savant when he did the underwear scene on Desperate Housewives. I still have wet dream of it these days.

I had a poster of David Cassidy on the wall opposite my bed so that he’d be the first thing I’d see every morning. When I tearfully came out to my mother twelve years later, she casually cited this and went back to reading her book.

R142..i vaguely remember seeing CINDERELLA when i was a kid and i remember seeing handsome men in tights, i think prince charming played by stuart damon was one of them in tights?..imagine if they had had had the guys including damon wearing codpieces in those tights like male ballet dancers! oh wow!!!!

I watched Cinderella every year just to see Stuart Damon. Ten minutes ago I saw you....

Eb on Green Acres

Tom Lester

Gil Gerard on Buck Rogers.

R148.... love love gil gerard as buck rogers! only on for 2 seasons, the first one being the best! him shown off in that white spandex uniform and when not in the uniform in spray painted pants, and wide open shirts showing off his sexy hairy chest! totally homoerotic and served up on a platter he was in episode after episode! loved that he was beefy and poured into such outfits and of course he was handsome with that great smile!... great jack off material then when i was young and now these decades later... i have the entire series on DVD......

James Franciscus on "Mr. Novak"

Robert Conrad on "Wild, Wild West"

Ricky Ricardo (I can remember lying on the floor in the morings watching reruns and thinking Ricky was good looking.) The gayness kicked in really early.

Then it was the professor from Gilligan's Island.

Incidentally, I always found the name 'Ricky Ricardo' redundant. I'm assuming his real first name was 'Ricardo,' which is Spanish for 'Richard.' Ricardo Ricardo?

^I think that’s the joke. Ricardo Ricardo is funny.

robert conrad did NOT age well unfortunately even from the years of the wild wild west to a decade later when he did black sheep squadron.. i'm thinking too much sun and drinking (i believe he became a alcoholic) and perhaps the occassional smoke...

however, i loved his ass in black sheep squadron! in the Wild wild west his ass was smaller, pert, shapely, muscular in those stretchy pants... when he was older, a decade older in black sheep, he had gained a bit of weight and his ass looked bigger but just as shapely and yes, he continued to wear his pants ( khaki pants his uniform) extremely tight! so tight i don't know how he could move!....

more than one episode his khaki uniform pants were so spray painted on you could actually see his underwear panty lines in those pants! does anyone realize just how tight his khaki pants of thicker material have to have been to see his underwear panty lines??!!!

so so awesome! i have the black sheep squadron show on DVD.... both seasons... great jack off material!..

R151, where were you the day Lincoln was shot?

R154, agreed! I believe that part of it was that Conrad like to show off what he had. I'm sure that if he'd requested his pants not be sprayed-on tight that the costumers would have accommodated him, but I'm almost certain that he knew about his ass's legendary status and loved the attention. Even the coveralls that he wore on BSS were tight.

R156...i so so hear you! i wonder if he ever got any razzing from the crew and the other actors about just how spray painted on his khaki pants were! yes, when he wore the coveralls they were also so snug, his entire package would be off to the side and lewd shown off! awesome!...

later in his 1 season NBC show in the early 80's "a man called sloane" conrad continued to wear the skin tight polyester pants..

ever notice his walk? he walked with a sexy "spring in his step" because he had to know people were scoping out his ass AFTER they fell in love with his flawless pretty face (when he was young that is)

Lee Majors on The Six Million Dollar Man.

Robert Urich on SWAT and later on Vega$.

R158..yes of course LEE MAJORS in the 6 million dollar man.. especially seasons 3, 4 and 5 when they made his character SEXIER! lighten his hair, one season he wore that porn mustache, wearing tight polyester pants, wide open shirts ridiculously unbutton to show off his sexy tanned hairy chest, that is when he wasn't shirtless in a episode and so on and so on..

loved the episode called "rollback" in season 4, where his character dressed up as the most homoerotic robin hood ever, complete with green tights where in one scene it's plainly visible that he is wearing a jockstrap and NOTHING else underneath those tights!..

R148, R149: Me too!

Totally, R157. He wore those tight pants up until he couldn’t wear them anymore. And that walk was definitely a dead giveaway that he knew what kind of assets he was working with.

Hugh O'Brian, for eh hem, obvious reasons.

Anyone remember Robert Conrad when he was Guest Murderer on "Columbo"? He had this extended scene where he just wore shorts. It seemed like the scene would never end (or maybe it was just me...). And this was a decade or so after the demise of The Wild, Wild West. Man , he looked fine.

As for Lee Majors, I thought he looked better in The Big Valley.

[quote]apologies for derailing this thread, but how did ANYONE sell a story about a nun who could fly because of her habit to TV execs? That is fucking nuts.

My money's on the TV execs ALSO flying because of their habits!

I think John Schneider as Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard was my first TV crush, though I wouldn't have been able to tell you why I was so intent on watching him and got so tingly when he appeared shirtless. By the time Simon & Simon hit the air with Jameson Parker, I knew.

I was too young to know why, but it was probably Wesley Eure from Land of the Lost.

Of course, as we now know, he bats for our team!!

[quote] I was too young to know why, but it was probably Wesley Eure from Land of the Lost.

I love him in Panic! at the Disco!

r155 you don't have to be that old to watch I Love Lucy reruns. They have been on continuously since they first aired. Same with Gilligan. (bitch)

Steven Weber in Wings or Gary Cole in American Gothic.

Ryan Gosling in Breaker High.

R164...yes, i remember that episode of conrad on "Colombo"... he played a gym manager who killed his partner.. conrad wore red shorts, and the scene showed him stretching and doing some sit-ups i think... he was still fit and trim, but he had lost his pretty boy looks (due to age, drinking and too much sun)....

lee majors on the "big valley" was so pretty, his first season his hair was very very blonde... was it dyed to be that blonde or was that natural?.. his hair turned a bit darker blonde/brown as the season went on... more than a few episodes had him shirtless... love the episode where he goes to a small town and is captured by the handful of residents, all who are literally insane in some way (guest star leslie nielsen as the ring leader) and his character is accosted by 2 women as they rub up and fondle him as he is handcuffed, and the men wide eyed and smirking while watching it... later, in a bed, he and his hairy chest is played with by one of the crazy females... another episode had him shirtless and tied up and made to be a slave to a band of bad people (men and women) who want revenge on him for some reason... hot to see him tied up and shirtless and submissively made to do whatever they want him to do...

Kirk Cameron

Tony Dow - Leave it to Beaver was in syndication and on right after school every day.

Richard Hatch on The Streets of San Francisco for the season after Michael Douglas left. I watched reruns with my father every night in the summer, and was always happy when he appeared.

R142, R145, R146: Damon was your standard milky milquetoast. HERE'S the real Prince Charming, in the far superior version from 1997.

Michael Ontkean. Currently in all his glory this weekend as 'Decades' TV is playing a marathon of 'The Rookies'.

Found during the search for Ontkean pics, this mislabled pic of Harry Hamlin, WASTED OUT OF THIS MIND...

r175 Ontkean was hot, but like baboon hot. Some men look like baboons. Long face, close-set eyes.

Michael Ontkean in all his glory, R175.

Burt Ward.

Most people loved Michael Ontkean in "The Rookies", but I preferred Sam Melville, who played Kate Jackson's husband. Sam also did a brief nude scene when he was younger in some soft-porn flick "A Taste Of Honey" (or something like that).

Mickey Dolenz as Circus Boy. I was 8 and age appropriate in my crushes.

[quote] age appropriate in my crushes

Explanation please.

Caitlyn Jenner in the trans bus on "I Am Cait."

Clark Gable

Edson Stroll from "McHale's Navy"

Thanks for that R178, that was a great scene. Gotta rent that movie...

And here he is with Harry...

Jacking off to my Rick Springfield poster when I was 9.

How did you know to do that, R187?

Gary Collins in Born Free (1974)

On another thread, I suddenly realized that perhaps my first male crush on TV was an actor on The Ann Sothern Show named Jack Mullaney. The show ran from 1958 to 1961, so if I saw it only on the first run, let's just say I HAD to have been born that way. More likely, I saw the it on reruns but still in the 1960s. I thought he was handsome and likeable, and he gave me a warm feeling (I guess that's what attraction felt like to me at that age). He was also in the mid-1960s TV show, "It's About Time."

I’m a 90s gay so my first crush was Joshua Jackson on Dawson’s Creek when I was in 7th grade.

Fred on "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?"

r190 If you're a fan of Mr. Mullaney, check him out in "South Pacific." He's in the beach scene, early in the film, when all the sailors are singing "There Is Nothing Like a Dame."

R193 I didn't remember that he was in the movie, but I was probably distracted by all the men around him, particularly Ken Clark (Stewpot), who had quite a VPL in some of the shots.

John Schneider from Dukes of Hazzard.

R166

I was hot for the dad on Land of the Lost. In college I took a course in linguistic anthropology which actually had an example of Sleestak as an invented language!

Timothy Van Patten as "Salami" on The White Shadow. Frequently soaping up...here giving us back.

Jonathan Jackson on General Hospital

Gregory Harrison on "Trapper John, MD." I recorded the opening credits, played his "shower moment" over and over again, then freeze-framed it and came.

200 posts in, I can't believe that no one's mentioned Maxwell Caulfield!

In the summer of 1990 (when I was 10), I inherited a lot of old magazines from the older boy next door who was heading off to college. Among them were several Dynamites, including the one pictured below. I instantly became smitten with Greg Evigan on the cover. At the time, I didn't know who he was, just that I got a happy feeling in my chest when I looked at his cute face and smiling eyes. He also seemed very jovial and carefree,; someone who I wanted to take me under his wing, in more ways than one. I remember sleeping with the magazine next to me and would kiss his face repeatedly.

Greg was indeed hot as fuck.

202 posts in, and I can't believe no one's mentioned Allan Kayser.

Jack Mullaney

Posting that bland milktoast's picture twice R204/R190 won't make him any hotter.

Brian Kelly, of course.

FLIPPER was my favorite tv show. Ever.

Trying to find a young Gary Cole shirtless was tough but this is closest to what he looked like back in my day.

R199, the Trapper John shower door thing has been cited so many times here that ITV should be a DL meme. It’s a wonder that the millions of erections it stirred didn’t cause a weekly tsunami in Japan in the late 70s.

R205 who made you the arbiter of gayling attractions? This thread is about individuals' first TV crushes. We get it. You don't find Jack Mullaney attractive, but R204 and R190 did and I'm sure many gaylings of the time did. He's not at all unattractive. And he's got a clean-cut, boy-next-door thing going.

I had a thing for Dwayne on What's Happening! He had a cute dimple and always wore tight pants.

Mr. James Rockford!

[quote]I had a thing for Dwayne on What's Happening! He had a cute dimple and always wore tight pants.

Pants that showed off that exquisite bubble butt, which was still just as bubbly on the rebooted series, What's Happening Now!

Michael Ontkean on "The Rookies"

Ben Murphy from "Alias Smith and Jones"

Lee Majors as Steve Austin, the "Six Million Dollar Man"

The seldom-seen dad on WHAT'S HAPPENING defined "fine"! Like Jack Spratt and his wife compared with Raj's behemoth of a mama.

Zachery Ty Bryan on Home Improvement. Before the meth bloat and MAGA bullshit. He WAS good looking in the 90s....

the young blonde hunky actor Tommy Puett on "life goes on", who played the young daughter ( of patti lupone's character) dreamy unattainable love interest...

he was a cutie and wore his jeans spray painted on showing a great shapely butt! NICE!..

left acting years ago, now married, 2 kids and runs a sports business...

Producers desperately pinned their hopes of Tommy Puett turning into a pin up sexy boy but they ultimately fired him once Chris Burke took on that role.

Pretty soon Corky was gracing the poster section of 16 and Tiger Beat, many times shirtless to show off his amazing specs and washboard abs. Many a young girl used to cover their bedroom walls with Burke's posters as they dreamed of one day marrying him.

Another vote for Dwyane Wayne

Tommy Puett turned 50 this year.

Boy George. I was 5 yrs old.

Michael Landon, AKA: Pa:……..Charles Ingalls on Little House/ Holy sex on a stick . Confusing memories for me…

R221. you have can michael landon as long as you leave me tall beefy hairy merle oleson (a.k.a. jonathan garvey)!

The lumberjack dad in "Tom Thumb in Trouble". I wanted to be his little son who lived in his pocket.

Dads feet

I thought Richard Crenna was dreamy in OUR MISS BROOKS.

I have distinct recollection of Bill Bixby in THE COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER.

Bill Bixby was special.

WAIT, WAIT... nearing 300 posts and no mention yet of CARL BETZ!!!!!!!!!!! the square jaw chiseled chin hubba hubba father/ dad from the Donna Reed show?!! he was so so sexy and handsome as hell!

Carl Betz is sex on a stick.

But Hugh Beaumont is even hotter.

Hugh. Oh, Hugh.

sadly, I got stuck in the crush phase; I think more of being held than fucked even now as an adult.

hugh beaumont had the better body than betz, but betz was WAAAAAY handsomer...

Both were dream boats.

When I was 14, I was absolutely in total love with MTV's Dan Cortese.

Occasionally I'd catch him with his shirt off but no real nudity.

Cortese had (has) wonderful tits too.

Alejandro Rey in the Flying Nun with Sally Field. I was about five years old.

You reminded me of my MTV crush R234. I always preferred Eric Nies for his little dusting of chest hair.

I didn't even think about being gay until grade 8 or so. But Jayce from Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors from almost before I could walk!

Neil Carter

Dennis Franz

LuLu Roman

Wilford Brimley

Mama June

Who is Neil Carter?

Rivers Phoenix.

I remember the summer break when I was 13 or 14 where I spent every weekday watching General Hospital to see Antonio Sabato Jr and Steve Burton stranded on an island, either shirtless or in wet clothes.

greg kinnear on talk soup

R237 I’d forgotten about him. Hot indeed.

Jason Bateman

Now my revived TV crush thanks to Ozark

well besides the usual actors.... and pro wrestlers... and sports heroes..

the american gladiators and their international gladiators counterparts!.. handsome musclebound men in spandex that left nothing to the imagination from top to bottom and from front to back!..

Launchpad McQuack on "Duck Tales."

R236, totally forgot about Rey. I was 10 and definitely watched that show to look out for him.

He-man :p

If we're doing cartoons, then Aquaman was my crush.

Al Lewis. Grandpa Munster.

Rey shirtless. I wish Playgirl was published in the 1960s. I'm crying, Argentina!

Aidan Quinn in Desperately Seeking Susan.

I watched it on HBO for Madonna as a kid but Aidan would soon grow to be a big part of my teenage fantasies.

Then I discovered Reckless.....with nudity!!! I was hooked.

in regards to cartoons, space ghost! imagine that beefy muscle built drawn character played in a live action show with a real beefy musclebound actor and in white spray painted on tights that left nothing to the imagination! OH YEAH! LOL!..

Alejandro Rey in "The Flying Nun".

Sam J Jones in Flash Gordon (especially in the leather short shorts). Jason Donovan when he was in Neighbours and a pop star in the late-80’s early 90’s. I guess I liked hunky blondes.

David Faustino in Married With Children. The opening credit shot of him shirtless and kissing his bicep with his hairy armpit peeking out from underneath definitely excited me as a 12-13 year old.

Cowboy Bob. Swoon!

One of the local kid's show hosts in central Indiana. He was dreamy. To me. When I was 7.

Grant Show on Melrose Place......whacked to him time and time again.

Chris William Martin on Hillside/Fifteen

Johnny Olsen.

James MacArthur, a frequently shirtless Disney star. Later on Hawaii Five O.

It was between George Reeves as Superman, Bobby Driscoll in "Treasure Island," Popeye or Mighty Mouse.

Can't believe no one's mentioned David Sederholm. Dude was on a soap, Frasier, Friends...but always 'the hunk'. Too handsome for real roles...

Better pic...

When I was really young, it was Jack Wild (The Artful Dodger in "Oliver!" and also on HR Pufnstuff). It then transitioned to Peter on The Brady Bunch. Then it was Lance Kerwin on James at 15 and James at 16 (I was a year younger than his character at the time).

R262

Even at that young age back then, I figured Dan-O as McGarrett's b itch. (a role I coveted)

I loved watching Peter Lupus on Mission Impossible as a kid. I heard Peter did a nude centerfold in Playgirl and I had to see it. I didn't believe it was real. Ultimately I stole an issue from the corner drugstore. Can you imagine getting caught?

I ran home and removed the plastic wrap. Lo and Behold! There he was, in full glory. I jerked off immediately. I couldn't believe he had done it.

Peter Duel was o e of the earliest though not fully recognized at the time. Randolph Mantooth. Erik Estrada. I have a thing for dark haired men.

R264/R265.. i remember that soap opera actor david sederholm from back in the day, but i never knew his name until now... yeah, he was a true HUNK of the 1980's variety! great face, smile and nicely built body in snug clothes! where is he now i wonder?

Boss Hogg from The Dukes of Hazzard.

Mr. Sheffield on The Nanny. That salt and pepper hair with the accent just did something for me...

Bo Duke.

R270, that's the $64,000,000,000 question. His last credit, as 'Handsome Man', was 20 years ago, which was 25 years after his 'peak' in that soap. No doubt he still has that hair, but scared to think what happened to the face...

R269, Ben Murphy did it for me. Far hotter than Pete Duel IMO. He had those plump, Paul Newman-like, cock-sucking lips.

Did a quick search for Sederholm on Spokeo. Looks like he's 68, living in Playa del Rey, CA.

There's also a Linked In for someone with the same name, as an 'Independent Contractor' with LA Models...

Dick Van Dyke

I liked the tall, skinny, goofy dads. He also was kind.

I liked his hag too.

R274/R276... didn't sederholm start out as a male model? i think i remember seeing him all the time in various magazines including GQ back in the day when they ONLY showed male models on the covers and inside the pages..

Not sure R278. I googled his name and 'model', and came up with this pic at the link.

Also apparently there's a new model with the same name. Not nearly as hot though...

Hey R278, if you click on the photo at R279, it actually IS an invite for the premiere issue of 'Exercise, for Men Only'...that mag that featured gay models almost exclusively.

I didn’t really have a crush but the Batman tv show definitely turned me on, especially Batman and even Catwoman. I also grew up to have somewhat of a bondage fetish.

R281

My favorite episode of Batman featured the Riddler threatening to remove a tied down Robin's brain!

When I was a kid, I had a crush on young actor John David Carson. He was never a big star, but he was on tons of episodic TV, and I liked him in the movies Day of the Dolphin and the absurd B-movie, Creature from Black Lake. My dad took me to see that and I was WAY too young for it. I of course didn't know what I was feeling, but the tingly feeling for John David made the terror worthwhile.

I had forgotten about him until many years later when I saw camp classic All the Pretty Maids in a Row, and learned his name and a bit more about him. He was the son of Kit Carson. John David died from lymphoma at age 57.

Lee Kinsolving was gorgeous and a great actor; dated Tuesday Weld and Candace Bergen, but for whatever reason, he didn't catch on. I saw him once on The Twilight Zone and was immediately encrushed,

As a teen, I would watch this show just to jerk off to this in the opening credits of Trapper John MD:

Tom Welling was a revelation. I couldn’t wait to see that show. I still like him now

Why a revelation?

Trump, the Apprentice

jan michael vincent in the disney movie "the world's greatest athlete"....

and of course men M-E-N like clint walker, steve reeves, robert horton, doug mcclure, reb brown, lee majors, jorge rivero, mike henry, gordon scott, reg park, gil gerard, jon erik hexum, van williams, cal bolder, miles o'keefe.....

i know i'm missing others....

I think I encountered Green Hornet reruns too early in life to properly appreciate Van Williams' beauty and develop a crush, though I certainly made up for it decades later.

Will from "Land of the Lost".

And maybe my prepubescent gaydar was starting to be calibrated, because he later came out as gay!

Larry Kenney, Bowling for Dollars

Abe Vigoda

In Boston they called it Candlepins for Cash.

R290 I'd hate to be the people that sat in your seat at the next showing of movies.

They're films, but I first watched them when they aired on TV as a kid in the '80s -- Captain Von Trapp in THE SOUND OF MUSIC and Bert in MARY POPPINS. Both Christopher Plummer and Dick Van Dyke did it for me as a gayling and started my yen for older men, particularly fatherly types. Mike Brady (THE BRADY BUNCH) and Ward Cleaver (LEAVE IT TO BEAVER) would later join them when I discovered both shows on reruns.

Zac Efron circa High School Musical

R281, the episode that did it for me was Robin being tied up and gagged to that porcelain horse while the Mat Hatter was trying to take off Batman's cowl.

Really, Bats should have been arrested for child endangerment.
