I was recently challenged to figure out who the cover guy from the above Arena 1 magazine (1978) is, and what film, his only, he was in (seen in this magazine with the more prolific Joe Roberts ). took me a couple of days, but I got it!

took me about 15 minutes- google searched Joe Roberts/gay porn, found this retro page, on side had links- found Arena 1….
Good job!
I want to thank you; david, and Buck Naked, for helping me connect the dots.
For the longest time, I’ve also wondered who the “Arena #1” porn guy was. Was he only a print dude, or did he also do some porn on film. It can get pretty confusing, when models alter their appearances, and use various aliases.
I now know that “Dick Miller†was in “Bad, Bad Boys (1979)â€. But earlier, he also used the name “Richard Millerâ€, when he was physically thinner. I now recognize him as the guy with David Carter, in the loop and correlating publication, “David Meets the Woodsman (1978)â€.

In 1980, he was also in another loop with David Carter called, “Three Summer Afternoonsâ€.

You remember David Carter, right? He wrote the book, “The Iron Gameâ€. Maybe you should feature him in some future posts. He really seemed to be quite an unheralded figure, in vintage porn – not only as a performer, but as a director and publisher.

OBSESSES – at the risk of losing a valued reader, don’t know that I care much for Mr Carter’s looks – but I will check out the links, in pursuit of research. I do have that one post with Mr. Carter – The Iron Game, by David Carter (or, why I can never get anything done around here!)
Hey, no worries! As I said before, I value your opinion, even if I don’t agree with it. We can disagree, without being disagreeable. Your blog is so valuable, that I would NEVER think of abandoning it. I’m always discovering new things about vintage porn, which helps me connect the dots – much appreciated! For the record, you don’t care for David Carter’s look, as for me, I don’t get what you see in Joe Roberts. But hey, different strokes (!), for different folks! ; )
