Ramon Loves Michael Bergin!

I'd have to say that my first major gay crush was
Michael Bergin as J.D. Darius on "Baywatch!"


This show was a huge part of my sexual awakening as a child. I was about 12 when I started watching it, and I knew I loved me some men - but this was when
I realized I had a passion for them. Especially looking at Michael, and I couldn't believe my eyes!



Oh, those 6-pack abs, huge pecs, muscular arms, broad shoulders, gorgeous back, flawless tan skin, and his beautiful face. It was true love!
I was so obsessed, I even took swimming lessons!

I couldn't get enough of him running and swimming in those red shorts. I so wanted to 'drown' at a beach, with that hunk on top of me, giving mouth to mouth.


Michael still has a special place in my heart, and not just because he still has it totally goin' on.
With his beauty and sexual charm, he gave joy and hope to a chubby, awkward outcast who was realizing how most of the world viewed gay people.

Love you, Michael!

David Loves Jerry O'Connell

I was 11 when I hit puberty, and it was very evident what aroused me and what didn't. It wasn't until I was 13 though, that I had my first celebrity crush.

It was Jerry O'Connell on TV's "My Secret Identity." And of course, what young gay boy doesn't feel like he has a secret identity?


I was in love with this kid who was kind of awkward but kind of cool. I even tried to dress like him with a T-shirt under an opened button-down shirt.


He was cute and fun, and I always secretly hoped that he'd be shirtless during the episode. Years later I found him again on "Sliders," and I've followed his career ever since.

Nowadays, I like my men a lot bigger and beefier,
but I will always have a weakness for my Jerry.

Brian Loves Burt Ward!

My first gay crush was Burt Ward.

Twice a week for 2 1/2 years, I was in front of the TV waiting to see Robin, the Boy WonderWhen the neighborhood kids and I played Batman & Robin, I always played the villain.

Why? So I could find different ways to tie up Robin!

Those tights with a hint of bulge was the beginning of my wet dreams. Looks like Burt had some too?

So I guess that was also the start of my little rope/handcuff fetish.

And here's Burt Ward's official website with lots of great info, photos, and merchandise.

Alas, I couldn't find any used tights...

Dita Loves Kellie Martin!

I had MANY girl crushes growing up:
Madonna, Debbie Gibson, and Joyce DeWitt. 

But no one warmed my heart like Kellie Martin.


Her character Becca Thatcher from "Life Goes On" was sweet, awkward, nerdy, kindhearted. I wanted nothing more than to be her friend.

I identified with her frustrations and vulnerabilities dealing with school and family. I felt no one else understood her the way I did.


My crush evolved to full devotion when I got a teen magazine that featured Kellie in a bathing suit from "Wild & Crazy Kids" on Nickleodeon.

She was like a goddess.

Even drenched and wet, she looked perfect. Her smile can send my heart all a flutter to this day.


I've continued to follow her career through "Christy," "ER," and the "Mystery Woman" series. I even follow her on Twitter and Facebook.

She molded my idea of what I look for in another woman in my adult life today.

I even had an ex-girlfriend I called "My Becca" because she reminded me so much of Kellie.

Jay Loves Mike Lookinland!

So, I was a "straight boy" who came out at age 44. But, I have two answers and two gay crushes.

First was Mike Lookinland as Bobby Brady on "The Brady Bunch." I was only 12 and he was only 10, but I had such a thing for him. I even wrote to him, and received an autographed pic in return.

A few years later, my first really sexual crush was Christopher Atkins in
"The Blue Lagoon."

He was the first image I jacked-off to often.

Mark Loves Chad Lowe!

I was 16 when I had my first gay crush on Chad Lowe,
and his character Jesse McKenna on "Life Goes On"

I had a mild interest in the show "Life Goes On" when it first came on, but as soon as they introduced Jesse McKenna, I was like, "WHO IS that dreamy guy?"

It was revealed that his character was dealing with HIV/AIDS, and this made my heart break for the character, and love him even more.

Chad gave such an incredible performance. And soon 
I daydreamed of being able to comfort
Jesse, embrace him, and tell him I loved him.

I was grappling with being gay and actually had a girlfriend at the time. She wondered why I was so fixated with the show. But a thousand horses would never have been able to drag it out of me, that it was because of Chad Lowe. Haha!

Jerry Loves Austin St. John!

My first gay crush was Austin St. John -
AKA Jason the Red Power Ranger from
"Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers."

I was 8-years old. 

And as far as I'm concerned, there was no bigger heart-throb during my childhood than Jason, the Red Power Ranger.

I remember liking him so much that I wanted to be related to him.

That way, he could sleep over...


My parents got me a ring once, and they asked what color stone I'd like. I picked a red one so I could pretend we were together. No judgements, kids.


Seeing him in those cut-off shirts stirred feelings inside me I didn't even know I had. Or could name.

Joe Loves Jordan Knight!

The year? 1989. My age? 12. And I had something in common with every pre-pubescent girl of the day.

I was obsessed with New Kids On The Block!

And for one reason:

Jordan
Nathaniel
Marcel
Knight


Yes I am a dork and know his full name. I also know his birthday, May 17. Don't judge me.

I thought he was "cool" - but little did I know what "cool" really meant.

I loved his big brown eyes, rat tail, dance moves, his VOICE, and of course that SMILE.


Celebrity crushes have come and gone over the years. But Jordan will always be my first. 
I even professed my love for him via Twitter, to no avail. Sigh.

Did I mention he's gotten better with age?

Joe - Chicago, IL

Gustavo Loves Josh Hartnett!

I had my first gay crush when I was about 10.
It was Josh Hartnett in the movie "Pearl Harbor."

At that time I don't think I even knew what being gay was.

But I did know there was something about it that made me go crazy.


Many people didn't like this movie, claiming that it was too slow or too romantic to be considered a real war movie. 

As if I cared!

I asked my dad to buy it for me and he agreed.

He must have thought, "That's a war movie, the kind of movie I want my boy watching." Ha! Little did he know (or myself, for that matter) that the real reason I loved this movie was the fact that I was developing an early fixation for men in uniform.

When I finally got my hands on the DVD, I found myself watching the sex scene between Josh and Kate Beckinsale over and over again. I have never in my life been so jealous of a person, as I was of her.

I soon realized I didn't like this movie for the same reason as other boys. And to this day, I think dog tags are the sexiest accessory a man can wear.

George Loves Ricky Nelson!

My first gay crush was when I was 11, and started realizing I was attracted to men. I actually had four, all at the same time. I used to buy popular starlet magazines and save pix of them when I saw they were featured. My 4 gay crushes were:


Ricky Nelson
I watched "Ozzie & Harriet" all the time,
just to see him.


Tab Hunter
I fell in love with that cute face the first time
I saw the movie of "Damn Yankees." I met him
and even appeared on stage with him in a production of "Here Lies Jeremy Troy" years later.




Tommy Sands
He was from Houston where I grew up,
and strangely enough, I always wondered WHY he married Nancy Sinatra. Even at age 11,
that seemed out of character to me.


Troy Donahue
I fell in love with this hunk of a star when
I read in a magazine, under a column called
"Secrets Of Your Idols," that he slept naked.

Alas, Ricky and Troy are dead, and Tab and Tommy have become multi-millionaire real estate moguls. Tab declared himself gay, which is wonderful. They claim Troy was not gay, but I'm still not convinced.

Rowan Loves Mark Wahlberg!

My first gay crush was Mark Wahlberg,
when I was about 8-years old.

MTV was playing "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

It may have been the 'bad boy' attitude, the killer body, or the song working on some sub-conscious level? 

But, I got nothing but
'good vibrations' from him!


Further searching on the web revealed pictures of his days as an underwear model. 

And that was the moment my feelings turned into a full blown crush.

Honestly, not much has changed since. I'm still very fond of Mr. Wahlberg, and many others. But he will always be my first gay crush.
