masculin international
I love the MASCULIN INTERNATIONAL magazine series – with handsome models photographed by the likes of Malcolm Hoare (the photographer for this issue featured here), Roy Dean, Jon Target, (maybe or maybe not Jean-Daniel Cadinot??) and Roy Blakey (there may be more); the tone is more sexy than sex, and that’s OK! So, I had a digital version of Masculin International 6, but saw a copy online for sale/auction and wanted to be able to scan better quality versions. Also, side note – notice the 4 men featured on the back? No pic of super sexy model Joe Porcelli (called Paul here)!! What’s with that? Anyway, I probably scanned the entire magazine before I realized something was up. The quality seemed off, so I looked for my digital file that I’ve had, and … WHAT?? Same number of pages, but the contrast was murkier – perhaps something that a generic photoshop can adjust but…. my hard copy only had 4 color pages – Front & Back covers, and 2 – page centerfold of the cover model; the old digital version had 5 additional pages in color, plus maybe 2-3 partial color pages! What gives???
or, rather, WTF?

quorum
have i only posted pics from Jim French’s 1976 book, Quorum once before? more importantly, please tell me I haven’t sold my copy on on eBay (no, that’s not me). I found the top two pics in a folder of scans “Auctions 2018” – but I had already moved out of NYC, and don’t recall doing any selling since that summer before I moved. Somewhere in the porn basement, this book might still be here!!
these are pics I copied from the interwebs – I need to dig out this book!
cruising
pet project that never took off – trying to ID porn stars who appeared as backbroound actors/models in the 1980 film, Cruising .
Malo (AKA Arnaldo Santana) of course (he’s the first victim, so not actually background!); and I am certain Fernando is in the film as well. Anyone else?
more cruising on BJland.
“Now that’s entertainment!”
so this rabbit hole could’ve gone on all day, except I (currently) have a job! I can’t remember exactly why I had saved the mp4 file for Swallow It (first scene, Swallow It is the clip, above) to my desktop, but likely something to do with wanting to ID the original sources for the scenes from this PM Productions compilation tape. A few moments in, there’s an autofellatio solo, so I look it up – Dr. Infinity? 3 films, two are compilations, the other is In Search of the Perfect Man – so I nab that digital copy, and begin to edit down just his scene, but of course have to include a bit of Michael Munsey / Michael Stone / Michael Muncie for context…..(see clip below) to compare the two, right?
But with a name like “DR INFINITY” there has to be more to the story, and there is!
Who was Dr Infinity? The Curious Story of Adult Film’s First Autofellator and from here – Gutenberg Vs Dr. Infinity – you can do the reading, but I must say, some of these “straight” films are kinda fun with their campy acting, etc. Check out for yourself with this clip from Every Inch A Lady (1975). OK gotta run!
splinters
ouch ouch ouch!! watch out for the splinters, man! Oh, Charley Smith – seen here from Mandate, and we know he’s graced the cover of Blueboy at least twice – September of 1980 and 1981; appeared in Blueboy at least twice more (January 1980, March 1982) + 1980 December Numbers, Honcho 1982, and of course the above March 1983 MMandate – and I am sure our JohnnyLlama can tell us more.
Meanwhile, enjoy a few more from a recently acquired Blueboy, below.
