My first real gay crush when I was around 11, was actor Brian Kelly. He played the dad on "Flipper."
He was always shiny and sweaty, or in his swim trunks and scuba gear. His character as a strong, strict, loving father was my ultimate fantasy.
And the other was actor Vince Edwards, who played "Dr. Ben Casey." I was fascinated by all the dark hair on his forearms, and sometimes getting to see his chest hairs peeking out of the top of his shirt.
To this day, I am still attracted to dark Irish or Italian looking men. Even as I look at these pictures now, they are mighty fine!

Thanks for reminding me of these two hunks. As a kid I just loved to see any chest hair peeking out of a man's shirt.
I was soooo in love with Dr. Casey, and considered Dr. Kildare a blonde wuss...not manly at all (ironic, eh?).
Then, of course, there was Burt Ward, Robert Conrad, Tony Dow, Ricky Nelson, Montgomery Cliff, Bobby Sherman, and Richard Crena, and I could go on and on.
Jeez, I was such a fairy!
Me too! How I wanted to be friends with a dolphin AND hang around with Brian Kelly and Luke Halpin in shorts!
Even now at the age of 51 I still find them both HOT!
Any man that had chest hair also set me dreaming.....Lee Majors, Burt Reynolds, Rock Hudson.....my partner of twenty years!
Now I'm off to YouTube to find clips from Flipper!!!
I had forgotten about Brian Kelly even though I know i saw Flipper as a kid. I saw him on something last yr and thought wow such a handsome man so I looked him up and found he was the dad on Flipper so I started watching Flipper. Hey smalltownboy they have all the episodes on HULU and its wonderful and great video. I have enjoyed every episode of it and he and LUke both look so good shirtless and in swim attire. Brian is the ultimate dream man.
