Who was your first Gay crush??

[dblrinz]

Jon Erik Hexum

What 80's something show was he in? I didn't miss an episode of that because of him...Otherwise I don't think it was all that good. IIRC there was many a scene with him awakened in the middle of the night sleeping in his undies of course...OR maybe that's the only part of the show I remember...AND the theme song was "Holding Out for a Hero". To which I ask, "Weren't we all?"

Here in tolerant

Europe, (that is, Easter Border Germany going south, north and all the way to the West), the question gets answered more along the line of 3/4 of all men try sex both ways and then we see the 90% straight, 10% gay pattern settle in and stay by the early 20's.

The christianists can scream and shout all they want, but now that science and medicine have clearly shown we are neither perverted nor defective (rather, anatomically speaking the opposite) it is only a question of time before we are granted human status throughout the West.

Several people have pointed out - including a few hot photos, thanks, that I meant Greg and not his son. Frankly, I meant both. My mom wouldn't let me watch Mission Impossible until I was old enough to have my own TV and she didn't know.

Ah, yes Mr. "Has to wear two jock straps" Burt Ward, 'cause we don't want anybody to thing Bruce's ward is a man...?! Poor Adam West, who was stuffing his, er, stocking, like mad, having to stand next to this:

Reno 911

All I want is Junior from Reno 911 for Christmas. I'd LOVE to get strip searched by him.....Bill in Az.....

Lest we forget our patron saint.......Jim Palmer

This gentleman was my very first Gay crush. I remember that he was featured prominently in all the periodicals aimed towards the "FE-males" of the day such as Better Homes and Gardens and Good Housekeeping amongst others.

I'm sure I'm not alone here, as he was kinda that goofy alpha male that many fantasized over. I feel however, that what's MORE important, is that he helped bring male sexiness OUT during most of the late 1970's and 1980's. It was this advertising campaign, that broke the taboo of a man having a "package" and not some airbrushed bump. As soon as I saw Mr. Palmer in his Elance' briefs, then I knew I was. Gay, oh happy gay.

He still makes me fan myself....

Panthera,

Obvious we have good taste in men. I was 13 when the Wild, Wild West first came on. Like I have said in my previous posts, I wasn't into Westerns like my Dad and other brothers. But there was something about Jim West in this show that set my hormones rushing! I just thought he was the coolest, sexiest man I have ever seen. Always had nice clothes and a nice body to go with it. My fantasy at 13 was to be Jim's side-kick/friend (with all the benefits of course) like " Artemus Gordon" I believe I still have a large poster of him. I still like to watch the reruns to this day.

Brian Kelly!

I don't recall Hexum having a series, but do remember a made-for-TV movie he did with Joan Collins who at the time was a hot commodity due to her Alexis Carrington-Colby-Dexter character on "Dynasty." If I recall correctly, the TV movie was titled "The Making of a Male Model," a blatant beefcake offering if there ever was one, showing off this hunk's incredible physique. He had the deepest voice of anyone in the business at the time. Just all man, and buffed out beyond belief.

He couldn't act at all, but who cared?

Lawrence, I'm with you on Dan Blocker, but he actually held the #2 spot with me for Bonanza men. Pernell Roberts had my full attention until he left the show, then it was all Dan.

Clint Walker? Yes, I waited hopefully for a scene that showed at least some of his beautiful chest whenever I came across any show he was in.

My take on "The Wild, Wild West" was that it had the most potential of any TV show by far for a glimpse of a hard bodied male. Conrad had his shirt off in what seemed like every other episode, and it was appointment TV for sure.

Hexum couldn't ACT?!

I never noticed, but I sure did watch everything he was in. Can't imagin what was distracting me.

The Wild, Wild West - GAWD I miss that show!

 

[panthera]

Hugh Jackman

can't act, either - but who cares.
Now, one German actor whose poor English I am totally willing to forgive is Logan McCree.
Like to see him on TV.
And I don't mean pay-per-view, turn on the vibrating bed, motel TV, either.

He'd be a great private Dick...

Davy Jones

Patrick Duffy as the Man from Atlantis and the Dukes of Hazzard boys!!

I also went through a phase of wanting to be Lindsay Wagner....oh to be able to Bionic vacuum!!!

 

[toggleswitch2]

I have not found the button/tab on this advertisement where they change/swap underwear.

Jon Erik Hexum

I was aware that Jon Erik's cousin is David Paulsen of WWL-TV in New Orleans. I see a slight resemblence there!

As for Jon-Erik's career, The show he was starring in at the time of his death was "Cover Up", with Jennifer O'Neill on CBS. I still have old VHS tapes of the original airings of "Cover Up", as I never missed an episode.
Another sad tidbit about "Cover Up" is the actor who replaced Jon-Erik after his death, was an australian model named Antony Hamilton. Hamilton sadly died of AIDS in 1995.

Jon-Erik also starred in the 1983 movie, "Making of a Male Model" with Joan Collins, and the short lived TV series, "Voyagers" with Meeno Peluce.

 

[dblrinz]

Hamilton was cute...

But Hexum MADE the show...

Sounds like it is movie night at your house!

For me, he is not my first, but has remained a fantasy figure still today. "Just look at the play of those muscles. Musical, just musical."
