Thanks to COLT‘s Icon series and my own propensity to jizz over hairy men, the Flashback Friday series was dominated by muscle bears and hirsute daddy types this year. Subjects like Steve Kelso, Chad Douglas, Bruno and Carl Hardwick proved that lusting after mustaches isn’t a thing of the past, while guys like Dick Wolf, Colton Ford and James Hamilton showed us that you don’t have to go back to the ’70s or ’80s for decent masturbatory memories.
Moving forward in 2014, I’d love to make a conscious effort to bring you Flashback Friday at the end of every week, but you know, it’s easy to say things like that and neglect to deliver when there are 40,000 other semi-urgent things to write about. For now, why don’t you just enjoy the best ol’ school throwbacks we did this year? We’ll figure out the rest later.

Take a look at the best Flashback Friday posts of 2013 below:

10. TOM HARTUNG:
We wrote: “This spread, entitled ‘Fire Island Memories’, appeared in a August 1990 issue of Honcho magazine, though the photos were originally taken by Target Studio in 1980… That decade difference between 1980 and 1990 might be enough to prove that Hartung’s good looks have stood up to the test of time, but the fact that I still want to do him today is even greater proof he’s a timeless beauty. I’m loving the way those tan lines look on his clenched cheeks, and the front view ain’t too shabby either!”

9. CARL HARDWICK:
We wrote: “Who was your first gay porn crush? Mine was, without a doubt, COLT model Carl Hardwick. I have vivid memories of browsing gay porn thumbnail galleries for this fuzzy muscle bear god, then waiting patiently for his images to load on my shitty dial-up connection. He was my gateway drug to Pete Kuzak and Steve Kelso, and together, those three helped me come to terms with my sexuality behind closed doors.”

8. BOYNAPPED:
We wrote: “The most interesting thing about the 1975 erotic film Boynapped? For me, it’s the inclusion of disco star Dennis Parker, who appears in the movie under the name Wade Nichols. It’s sort of hilarious to watch him in the goofy music video for ‘Like An Eagle‘, then see him aggressively face-fucking a tied-up blond twink.”

7. JAMES HAMILTON:
We wrote: “James Hamilton has technically been in the gay porn business as long as Cody Cummings, Phenix Saint or Mason Wyler. Your guess is as good as mine why he never reached their superstar status. Maybe it had something to do with his tattoos? His girlfriend? His police record? His bizarre resemblance to Trent from Daria?”

6. COLTON FORD:
We wrote: “Colton’s new video ‘All For You’ has been making the rounds for the past few days, and it’s kind of comical with its ’90 boy band vibe… More importantly, it reminded me that Colton existed, and now I’m going to spend the weekend jerking off to some of his old scenes. You’re welcome to join me, if you’d like.”

5. BRUNO:
We wrote: “Bruno has been referred to as ‘the quintessential gay porn icon from the ‘gay macho’ period of the 1970s and early 80s’. Much like Al Parker, he maintains a huge following to this day. If you follow dirty folks like me on Tumblr, you’ve probably seen his pictures floating around every now and then (even if you weren’t alive during the height of his career).”

We wrote: “I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve wanked to Dick Wolf and Aiden Shaw‘s scene in Perfect Fit. Back then, I didn’t know the title of the movie, the names of either performer or anything else of the sort. There were just a handful of MOV files floating around on thumbnail gallery sites, and quite honestly, I was addicted to the sight of Wolf’s big, round muscle ass and Aiden’s ginormous rod slamming into him.”

3. CHAD DOUGLAS:
We wrote: “Chad has made no less than three appearances on Flashback Friday, including scenes with both Kevin Williams and Cole Carpenter. We have not, however, dedicated an entire entry to his fuzzy chest, silly pornstache, commanding presence and downright mouthwatering cock.”
_______________________________________________________________________________
2. STEVE KELSO:
We wrote: “There isn’t much I can say about hirsute COLT pin-up model Steve Kelso that wasn’t already covered right here in his first Flashback Friday entry. Blah, blah, blah! There was this one time that I saw him at a bar in New Jersey, and I was too starstruck (and pathetic) to say anything. Blah, blah, blah! He’s one of the first men I ever masturbated to. Blah, blah, blah! Once upon a time, I drew a clumsy picture of his likeness in MS Paint, printed it out and jerked off onto it…”

1. PETE KUZAK:
We wrote: “Pete Kuzak joins Steve Kelso as one of the latest models to be inducted into COLT‘s Icon series. It’s highly appropriate that both Pete and Steve have had this honor bestowed upon them since, along with Carl Hardwick, they’re some of the first men I ever masturbated to. Back in the day, I’d browse thumbnail galleries and wait longer than I can remember for jpeg files of these hairy gods to load onto my computer screen. It’s funny to think how spoiled we are today. One click, and all that retro beef is directly in front of our faces.”

Dennis Parker/Wade Nichols was also well known for his role as a police detective on the serial ‘Edge of Night,’ the only porn star to transition to network television.
so many hotties.
All hot, but have always loved Colton Ford. He is a true hunk of a man.
Pete Kuzak = Wet dreams galore!!
That Dick Wolf/Aiden Shaw pairing was one of the first scenes I ever saw. I remember reading about it in Men or Unzipped and finding it on the internet shortly after.
I have Aiden Shaw’s monster cock in my night table. He cums out to play when I’m feeling extra feisty. His friend Chad Hunt cums out too. 😀
Mmm, I would love a front row ticket to THAT show!
Hell with it, if Santa decides I was a naughty boy and gives me what I want. You can film it so I’ll never forget it. Your debut as a porn director! 😉
