Carl Hardwick
Carl would be #1 if it was just about looks. He's one of only a few men I can jerk of to simply looking at a picture. He has two videos which are nothing more than extensive shower scenes, but that's enough. Carl soaping up his furry pecs is the hottest thing in the world to me. He did several hot jerk off movies but no hardcore, so I couldn't in good conscience let him crack the top ten.

Jake Deckard
I feel weird putting ol' Jake on this list because I actually know him. However, any personal interactions I've had with him in real life do not change the fact that he was an amazing porn star. A beautiful ass, body and cock, but also a great stage presence and a unique look. His scene in "Side Effects" with Tober Brandt was life altering for me (in that it introduced me to Jake and Tober, not that it helped me find god or anything). In addition, his blow job trade with Steve Cruz in "Lords of the Jungle" is something I could watch forever...what an amazing cum shot Jake produces. I know he has pretty harsh feelings about the industry these days, which is too bad because he made quite a mark on gay porn, both as an actor and director.<

Billy Herrington
Let's get this out of the way: Billy Herrington doesn't really deserve to be top ten based on his fucking ability. He seemed to struggle to stay hard in many of his scenes, and his gelatinous cum shots bordered on upsetting. But that body is off the hook. He's the best true bodybuilder in porn in my humble opinion. Even his fucked up tattoo remnants couldn't ruin that perfectly dimensioned build for me. I don't know if I've ever been as excited about a porn movie as when I found out he was flip fucking Tom Katt in "Conquered" (as an aside, that movie was also my introduction to Colton Ford). “Body Shop” had some classic Billy in it as well, including a pec worshipping scene I feel was specifically made for me. I wish his fucking scenes were longer in all his movies, because when he got going, nothing looked better.

Paul Wagner
Paul was the shit when he first appeared on the scene. I actually referred to him as “my boyfriend" for quite a while. His fratty wholesomeness was a welcome change to the porn guys I usually go for. He's been quite prolific too... he seems to have embraced the industry for longer than most performers. His peak for me was watching those muscley thighs of his as he got plowed by Ricky Sinz in "Roll in the Hay". I enjoy his Men at Play stuff as well--he does the “fresh out of business school” look well.
#7
Spencer Reed
Before he retired and became DJ Spencer Reed, he was probably the hardest working guy in porn. Apparently he made over 300 movies (source: DJ Spencer Reed). He also underwent one of my favorite pornformations ever--from a twinky marginally good looking whatever dude to an incredibly hot muscle bear in the matter of a few years. Although I don’t really believe this, I find it interesting he retired right after his first bottoming scene (post muscle bear transformation), bringing to mind the phenomenon of being “shot out” in straight porn (when a starlette does so many scenes that no one wants to see any more). In reality think he was probably just making a graceful exit after a long, successful stint in porn. I know I’ll remember his oeuvre fondly.

Chris Rockway
I think he's the probably most classically handsome guy on this list. He has an everyday stud look that I could see on the captain of the football team or a that hot guy at the gym. The sort of guy you'd see on the street, but who'd make you turn your head as he walked away. Refreshingly devoid of tattoos, his light skin accentuates his perfect musculature and beautiful dark hair. His on-screen persona leans toward goofy, but I find it endearing rather than boner killing. He never branched out from Randy Blue and has been making movies with them for a decade, which says something about Randy Blue as a company and how they treat their stars. Don't retire anytime soon Chris!
#6
Chris Steele
I like that Chris Steele stayed in the adult industry as a director, but he stepped behind the camera too soon. He was in nearly 20 movies, but some how it feels like less to me. His aggressive style of fucking and the impressive power in his ass and thighs made me overlook his somewhat wooden delivery (at times) of "oh yeah"s and "take that dick"s.
His scene with Dean Coulter in Sex Pack 4 "Porn Noir" is a career highlight, although "Heat" will always have a special place in my heart as I had my first all boy threeway with it playing in the background. He has an unreleased polish movie called "Polish Steele" that I would fucking KILL to see (anyone....?please....?).
#4
Zeb Atlas
I know, I know. Zeb Atlas is a beast. He's so big he borders on monstrous. But he's got an equally monstrous cock, which I dont think has ever happened before in gay porn. And he's a good top. And he's a hairy bodybuilder (sometimes). I've been following ol' Zeb since since first beat off videos, and each time he delved deeper into hardcore I could've sworn someone was reading my diary. His acting is pretty poor, and I don't approve of the half sleeve, but god I love watching the muscles in his ass when he pounds some innocent boy.
#3
Arpad Miklos
The dearly departed giant Arpad Miklos nee "Peter" was a fixture in my neighborhood for many years. I had the priviledge of seeing him at the gym a few times and occassional parties , although I never met him. One of my friends however was quite close with him and was devastated by his suicide. I know my friend doesnt like Arpad being remembered as "just" a porn star, but I think having the impressive career in porn that he did is no small feat. I wish porn stars recieved the sorts of accolades from society that other screen greats do when their careers are remembered, but people always frame their lives in terms of tragedy rather than celebrating their accomplishments. But enough seriousness...
I first remember seeing Arpad scowling from a boxcover in a TLA catalogue for a movie called "Tune Up", and it stopped me in my tracks. The movie was forgettable, but Arpad was suddenly everywhere after that. In his scenes his extra long cock was somehow acutely visible in every thrust for its entire length, which is I think one of the reasons why he was so enjoyable to watch. His sheer size was part of it too--he dwarfed many of his scene partners, even if they too were muscle boys. As a fan of his art form I mourn his loss, although made so many movies I think I could discover new scenes for years to come.
Alex Marte is my favorite porn star who is still performing. His perfect chest and ass, menacine sneer and the fact that only speaks Italian. I prefer him as a top...although his ass is glorious to behold, it looks better pumping than being plowed and prefer to see him dominating his scene pertners. Im surprised Colt hasn't snatched him up. Seems like it would be a pefect match.

Eric Evans
Eric has been out of the spotlight for a turn, and he was never super duper famous, so he may seem like an odd choice to some. But Eric and his perfect chest were an integral part of my maturing gay sexuality in the 90s, so there was never much of a question to me that he would be number one.
He was amazingly prolific for about 15 years, tranforming from a skinny twinkish guy to a barrel chested muscle bear before my very eyes. His upper body around 2000 is the standard I compare all against, even now. He has a killer ass too, but I'm more of a pec afficianando in my heart. His later "Cover Boy" years were almost exclusively with then boyfriend Brett Baines, which got a little old for me. I liked Brett too, I just wanted more.
Due to his extensive work in the VHS age, Im sure Ive only seen a fraction of his work, so hopefully I will continue to find Eric's gems as time goes by.
Well the best 40 countdown is complete, but the memories will last a lifetime. A few glaring omissions became apparent once I made my list so, I wanted to mention them now. First and foremost, how could I omit Al Parker???? Well, the answer is, as much as I admire his je ne ce quoi, I've never watched one of his movies. I know my porn afficiando's card should be revoked for that, but it's true. He does grace my iphone case and a poster in my bedroom though, so you'd think he woulda been on the list.
Another surprise in retrospect is that I forgot to include Steve Regis. He was an early fav of mine for his bulgy muscles and ubiquity in the 90's. But I forgot about him for about ten years. And here we are. He should be somewhere around 25 on the list I reckon.
A huge oopsie pointed out to me by a friend is Zak Spears. I honestly don't know what I was thinking, because he should have been top ten. In the 90s he was the only really butch-yet-versatile porn star around, and his comeback in his 40s as a hot muscle bear should teach us all a lesson about aging gracefully. My head was just in my ass about Zak. Apologies to the porn gods....
The title of today post is kind of a joke because "Eliad Cohen Naked" is one of the most popular search terms that gets people to my site according to google. But I'm not just pandering to my audience--I did uncover a very convincing fake of him lately that inspired me to post a few photoshop gems from the web. BTW guys if there are true photos of Eliad naked, I dont think they'll look like this. He spends enough time in a speedo that I think we can safely say he's no Jon Hamm.
Props to Luridblue where I got a lot of these fakes, and the proud author of a Sam Worthington fake that fooled me completely a while back. Another notable is the third pic: "John Micklow hairy" which fooled many a website into featureing his new look.
I've started to tag my internet porn collection for easy searching, which is no easy task when you are an obsessive porn weirdo like myself. Some categories are obvious: "Blow Jobs" "Cum Shots" "Bear Fucking" etc...but one of the more expected miscellanous grouping to emerge fromhe the pile was the surpising amount of hot boys kissing. I would not have thought such rated G photos would do it for me, but Ive amassed some pretty hot ones. And here they are.
I don't know who these folks are, but its been far too long since I uploaded "original content", so I thought I'd go through the archives for some vintage smut.
I'm on vacation this week in Provincetown, MA, which promises to be filled with relaxation, heavy drinking, and envious looks at the 6, 8 and 10 packs which everyone seems to have in gay beach towns. It will be even worse this summer because the theme of this year's carnival is "Heros and Villans" which means that the town will be filled with men dressed up as Superman who actually have Superman's body. I thought in honor of this spectacle (which I will fully document of course), I'd post some of my favorite unachievable physiques which ensure I never have a healthy self image.
The first: Nathan Rench, dimple chin and all.
Well its four days until the gay men of Ptown (myself included) parade around in speedos and spandex showing of their pecs. I'm showcasing a few of the bodybuilders I know who have both comic book propertions to their bodies, and the square jaws of supermen.
Case in point, Dave Johnson:
Bob Paris the 80's hunk version of the superhero thing, with his coiffed hair and day glow speedos. Someone even photoshopped him in Superman colors (see below). I remember a whole site devoted to morphs like this but DC comics sent them a cease and desist, which is practically a hate crime.
As promised here are some pictures from the parade in Provincetown. No shortage of abs for sure, but I have to say I was surprised there weren't more giant pecs on giant men (read as : steroid bodies). But then, that's why I go to Ptown and not the White Party I guess. BTW I'm the aquaman who keeps photobombing.
