<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">He was on "Lost In Space" from 1965 to 1967. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Having the hots for him at that time was not, um, pedophillic, if that's the word.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It was simply my first attraction to another boy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Back then, I would fantasize about being transported to wherever they were in the cosmos, so I could be the friend to get him away from that rascally <i>Dr. Smith</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Just recently, I had a dream that my husbear bought me a ticket for a trip on the <i>Jupiter II</i> for my birthday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I boarded the ship with the robot, then later <i>Will</i> and I were talking in the galley. As we talked, our facial features morphed so that we resembled each other. But our faces became elongated, so that's how I knew it was only a dream.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But <i>Will</i> said he had a long lost brother. And with our strong resemblance, we concluded that <i>I</i> was his long lost brother! As my heart fluttered (and not from too much caffeine this time), I awakened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">When I told my husbear about my dream (hoping he would somehow make it a reality for my next birthday), he was mad that I left with the robot to board the <i>Jupiter II</i>.
What did he think I'd do, leave the robot with him? <i>No way!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This was <i>my</i> first gay crush and this was <i>MY </i>dream! I think my husbear is the only person I've ever told this to until today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I was a much younger man in my dreams. Aren't we all? Yeah well, time flies don't it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It all started with the 1966 film, "Georgy Girl," which I'd been watching on television (NBC's 'Saturday Night at the Movies') in the late 60's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Though Bates is unrelentingly adorable and roguish throughout the movie, one sequence in particular is burned into my brain: it's when he is running after Georgy through a rainstorm, declaring his love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-align: center;">And when he gets to the apartment, he begins to walk towards the camera, calling out to her while stripping off his clothes -- down to his soaking wet tightey whities!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">That sight of Mr. Bates in his underwear became the central image in the fantasies of a 12-year old boy who had no idea what being "gay" even meant.<br><br>The rest, as they say, is history..."</span><br />

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br>I spent my gay puberty humping a bicycle around the campus of Arizona State University, and Hart was the quintessential example of the thousands of handsome young men I saw everywhere I looked.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It was the mid-70's, and on "Dallas" he played <i>Mitch, </i> the hot boyfriend of</span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> that slutty little midget, </span><i style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Lucy Ewing</i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">What a waste! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">And it's only in hindsight that I realize the absolute lust I had for this man. It's kind of funny, because he is </span><i style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">so</i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> not my type now. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But back then? He was a golden-maned god with perfect white teeth and the bluest eyes this side of Lake Tahoe. He was the male equivalent of Farrah Fawcett-Majors. Beautiful! </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I really do believe that I was straight before his appearance on the show.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Such was his power, that every time I saw him in a magazine or in some TV movie - "Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn" was my favorite; he played a male hooker - it was instant boner time. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Leigh brought out my inner-homo. As I had no concept for how to deal with these shameful feelings, I just jacked off a lot and did everything I could to look exactly like him. </span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Even to the point of turning my hair to straw with lemon juice and wearing lots of terry-cloth and short shorts. </span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If I couldn't <i>have</i> him, I'd <i>be</i> him!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">That was my thinking at the time.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">And the whole fandango came to an abrupt end when <i>BJ McKay</i> ran over poor Goldilocks <i>Lucy</i> with his big red truck. It was at that point I realized brunettes were my thing. And I spanked that monkey like there was no tomorrow.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y7AYqfFffZE/Vt3D8cuyofI/AAAAAAAAFq4/UAvzUZU4CMU/s1600/DevinSawa_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y7AYqfFffZE/Vt3D8cuyofI/AAAAAAAAFq4/UAvzUZU4CMU/s320/DevinSawa_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I'd known since I was about age 7 that I didn't feel about girls the way I felt about boys.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So I'd pretty much accepted that I was gay by that point.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One summer day in 1996 at age 13, I came upon a special issue <i>Tiger Beat</i> featuring the movie "Wild America" starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and an actor I'd never heard of before named - Devon Sawa.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One look at Devon's blonde, angelic, masculine features, those gorgeous blue eyes, full lips and taut frame wrapped up in that leather jacket, spotless white t-shirt, and tight blue jeans? </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">My heart actually leaped into my throat!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I'd had never (and still to this day <i>have </i>never) fallen so hard and so instantaneously in my life! </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ek4wGXh8ss/Vt3Nqz0CUvI/AAAAAAAAFrQ/ZzHeCZ0yRQo/s1600/DevinSawa2_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ek4wGXh8ss/Vt3Nqz0CUvI/AAAAAAAAFrQ/ZzHeCZ0yRQo/s320/DevinSawa2_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">For the next three years, Devon consumed my every waking thought. I immediately found every movie he'd done to that point.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I literally rewound the nude scene in "Now & Then" so many times I wore out the VHS tape!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Devon disappeared for a bit after "Wild America" but I was very pleased to see him make a resurgence on TV.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">And I was even <i>more</i> delighted to see that Devon, like a fine wine, has vastly improved with age. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />He's not just beautiful anymore, he's now a very sexy, full-grown man. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But I still feel a bit of nostalgia for the boy I used to crush over, dreaming of him lying next to me in my bed, with him wrapped in my arm</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">s.</span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">My first gay crush was actor Kent McCord!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I was 12 years old when I stayed up until 9pm watching "Adam-12" on WNBC in New York.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">And that's when I first saw that handsome duo: </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Kent McCord as <i>Officer Jim Reed and </i>Martin Milner as <i>Pete Malloy.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I was glued to the screen, and couldn't believe Kent's chiseled perfection and piercing blue eyes! </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Martin Milner was good looking too, but I never 'stained the sheets' wet dreaming about <i>him</i>.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><span class="s1">It was my mission since then to move to Los Angeles, and in my fantasy, to be 'cuffed' by <i>Officer Reed</i>. He is so handsome and probably isn't even aware of his <i>sex on a stick</i> perso</span>na.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I did actually move to LA years later, but I never met Mr. McCord in the 25 years I lived in the Valley. Which is probably a good thing.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I honestly don't know if I would've thrown myself at him (even if Mrs. McCord or his 2 children were in tow), or simply drooled as I stuttered like a teenager in heat asking for an autograph!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large; text-align: center;">He is STILL handsome now as a silver fox.</span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I was around 9 years old when <i>The Monkees </i>premiered on NBC. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">At that age I was also a big fan of music like The Beatles and Paul Revere & The Raiders.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I loved reading <i>16, Flip, </i>and<i> Tiger Beat</i> magazines, all of them cover to cover. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But I could never actually "see" my heroes, except in the movies. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I remember seeing The Beatles' "<i>Help!" </i>in the Pascack Theatre in Westwood, NJ. All the girls in the theatre screamed the whole time!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">With <i>The Monkees, </i>it was like I got to spend a half hour with my new "fave raves:" Davy, English and my height (LOL); Mickey, the perfect class clown; and Mike, the mature, responsible one. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">And then there was Peter. </span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">He seemed like someone I wanted to live next door, to be best friends with. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Sometime in the summer of 1968, one of the mags printed a two-page "Body Painting" photo of Peter. There he was, no shirt, almost down to his belly. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I grabbed my markers and started designing Peter with groovy psychedelic patterns and colors. I remember lying on our living room floor, on my stomach, drawing circles and squares around his nipples, his pecs, and felt some sort of stirring in my 11-year old loins. So I guess you could say that coloring Peter's poster induced my puberty!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Forty or so years later, I met him, and he is a super nice guy. And still cute! I didn't tell him about him being a catalyst in my becoming a man, but <i>I</i> certainly remembered!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DX6-LDKyeRo/VhREd9dQYMI/AAAAAAAAFes/35UaIllPYK8/s1600/DonnieOsmond_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DX6-LDKyeRo/VhREd9dQYMI/AAAAAAAAFes/35UaIllPYK8/s640/DonnieOsmond_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.jpg" width="510" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was 10 years old, and growing up as a gay boy in the 1970's was a magical experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Back then, my sister bought all of the popular teen magazines, such as "Tiger Beat" (my FAVORITE), "16" and "Teen Beat." We read them from cover to cover, and trust me, those magazines were dog-eared and tattered when we were done with them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2-pml5hbITU/VhRAxCxnK1I/AAAAAAAAFek/0_nkNx2fnJU/s1600/DonnieOsmond2_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2-pml5hbITU/VhRAxCxnK1I/AAAAAAAAFek/0_nkNx2fnJU/s1600/DonnieOsmond2_myfirstgaycrush.blogspot.com.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My sister also had a set of Donny Osmond bubble gum cards, which I snatched away. I saved them in a dresser drawer and would pull them out whenever I wanted to imagine myself kissing his luscious, lovely lips. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I kept my Donny Osmond desire a secret from my family. But to this day, I am still partial to dark haired men with pretty white teeth and full lips. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Thank you for all you do for the gay community with your blogs. You are much appreciated! </span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I remember that I was shocked by his beauty.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was roughly 12 in the early 2000's when I saw the movie for the first time. I loved how he was tough and a rebel, but also very sensitive and sad inside.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was very sensitive too, and I remember crying at every emotional scene he had with his friend Gordie. What moved me the most was how he was being protective with him, even with his own problems.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">At the time, I wanted to see them as a sort of couple, so I was jealous of Gordie and thought he was annoying and selfish. Ha ha!</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When I was around 12, I used to stay up late and read in the family TV room, as I liked the silence. I have a big family, so getting some time just for myself was rare. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Then one night in 1984, I was bored of reading and I switched on the TV. There was a show called "Hunter" just starting. I was just about to change the channel, 'cuz police shows were not my thing. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But then, I saw HIM. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A tall hunk of MAN with broad shoulders, black sunglasses, and <i>tight</i> blue jeans. I had never seen a man with a huge bulge like the one he had! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Of course, I was sold. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I watched the show and sat very close to the TV so I wouldn't miss any scenes of his <i>very</i> visible bulge.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />As this was "pre Internet searching" all I could do was watch the re-runs at night to get my fill.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">From the time "The Partridge Family" first aired in 1970, David Cassidy was the preferred boy idol of the girls in my grade school.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But then in the Spring of 1972, Annie Leibovitz's "Splendor in the Grass" portrait of him ran on the cover of Rolling Stone!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And I felt something truly illicit when I acquired a copy of it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But they fueled endless fantasies of David and I rolling around naked in the grass (for starters).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Looking at it today, I would <i>still</i> like to roll around naked in the grass with him!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Unlike a lot of the entries here, my tastes tend to run to older guys, and it was certain situations on TV that I found totally titillating. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Such as "The Rifleman" and "My Favorite Martian," where there was an older/younger male couple living together.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Or even two men against the world scenarios, like "The Wild Wild West." So I loved hotties like Chuck Connors, Bill Bixby, and Robert Conrad. </span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But honestly, the man who hit the biggest nerve was Sean Connery. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I’d always loved him in the "James Bond" films.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But when I first saw "<i>Zardoz"</i> (at age 13 in 1974) with a mostly-naked Sean running around and being probed? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><i>That</i> got me popping wood.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">To this day I still believe Sean Connery epitomizes masculinity and he will forever get my vote for the Sexiest Man Ever.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It was 1995, and I was 9 years old at the time.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had always loved <i>Batman, </i>so when "Batman Forever" came out, of course I HAD to see it. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">From the first time I saw Val Kilmer as <i>Batman</i>,</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was smitten. Oh, those intense eyes, pouty lips, great body and tight little butt! Who could resist someone who was so -- MALE!?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Val was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! And then there was his voice. The kind of soft, sensual voice that could just make you cream your jeans! WHOO DOGGIE, WHAT A MAN! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I swoon a little bit <i>now</i> just thinking about it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">There was no doubt in my mind that he was the man of my dreams. That is until I discovered Jonathan Taylor Thomas, but that's a whole other story!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I still have my "Batman Forever" movie poster. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I would probably <i>still</i> drool over it today! LOL!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My first gay crush was actor Scott Bakula!</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was age 13 in 1991, and I fell madly in love with Scott on "Quantum Leap."</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He had those kind eyes and that big nose. And even though he was so big and strong, he had that sweet voice.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I wanted him to hold me tight, and kiss me all over my face.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />I watched way too much TV back then, and had simultaneous crushes on the dad from "The Wonder Years," Ken Howard from "Coach," and basically the entire cast of "Wings" (particularly <i>Antonio</i> the cab driver).</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But Scott was the first guy I seriously thought about kissing and making out with. While I had no idea what to do in bed, I <i>did</i> know that every time he took his shirt off, I didn't want to look away.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had always watched "The Cosby Show" but it wasn’t until I was 8 that I really started to notice the beautiful Phylicia Rashad. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In 1988 we had just moved, and I was watching the show while my parents unpacked. There was a scene where she just floats into the room, hair flowing back, skin glistening, with a smile on her face. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">All of a sudden I felt a rush and I felt hot!</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">From that moment on, every time <i>Clair Huxtable</i> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">came onscreen, those same feelings arose. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When I hit puberty, the feeling became more intense. I thought she was the <i>Queen</i>!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I used to steal magazines that she was in from my parents, and I recorded every episode of "The Cosby Show" on VHS. I certainly didn’t tell anyone that Phylicia Rashad got my blood boiling, but <i>everyone</i> knew I loved her.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Ever a hopeful romantic in 1962, I first "fell in love" (at age six) with actor and dancer Russ Tamblyn as <i>The Woodsman</i> in "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm."</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">As a gymnastic dancer, Russ also appeared in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (1954), as “Tom Thumb” (1958) and as <i>Riff</i> in "West Side Story" (1961). </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">They often dyed his beautiful ginger locks. But to this day, if I had a physical “type,” it would </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">be a diminutive ginger with a big smile, such as I first adored in Russ. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Athletic dancers like Russ and Gene Kelly later spurred me to petition my backwoods high-school to start a gymnastics team. Their verdict: 'G<i>ymnastics is not a suitable activity for boys.' </i>Thank heaven for civic theatre where I occasionally danced in the chorus. But I was forbidden formal training in dance or gymnastics. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Back then, I often had to settle with just doing backstage work. But I eventually found a new love in writing for theatre and film.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">On Sunday October 14, 1962 I was 11-years old. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And back then, Sunday night meant only one thing:<br /><br />Gathering around the TV to watch "The Ed Sullivan Show." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />The number one song on the radio was "The Monster Mash." </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">But when Ed introduced the very exotic and dashing Italian tenor, I sat up and took notice as he stole my heart singing "Core Ngrato." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">"Ungrateful Heart" ... ironic, no? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He was simply the most handsome man I had ever seen! I decided then and there to save my pennies and travel from rural Massachusetts to Rome, where we would become great friends.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> And, perhaps more?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Suffice it to say, I was in love! </span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">At age 9, I totally fell for her in 1997. To me, she was simply the most beautiful creature in existence. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">There was just something about her that made me dizzy and made my heart ache.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I would stare at her picture for hours and try to draw her, dreaming up all sorts of plots and scenarios in which I'd get to meet her. I remember busily collecting "Titanic" posters and pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio with my friends. I had a strange little crush on Leonardo as well, which, in retrospect, seems just as gay?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I remember asking them, <i>'But don't you just think KATE WINSLET is b e a u t i f u l ?'</i> I couldn't understand why they weren't as into her as I was.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">My mom said I was too young to see "Titanic," so we rented "</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sense & Sensibility" instead.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I remember being terrified there would be a nude scene, and everyone would be able to tell what I was thinking. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Kate just tore a hole in my heart that day. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And even without a nude scene, I was blushing and excited all over throughout the entire film. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Thinking back, it’s hard to remember my exact first gay crush. However, the front runner to this day has to be Seann William Scott!</span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had older sisters and was allowed to watch the "American Pie" movies. I was a 10 year old in Northern California when the first one came out, and I was in love. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Yup, I was in love with the guy who played <i>Steve Stifler</i>. I don’t know if it was the arrogant attitude, his womanizing antics, and/or overtly sexual behavior - but boy, was I in love! He was a total jerk, but his body was perfect.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was unaware that this would explain the type of guys I’ve dated as an adult! But besides that, I followed all his movies, and one of my favorites was “Road Trip.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Embarrassingly enough, it's because of the scene at a sperm bank. He gets his prostate stimulated by a woman, and watching him enjoy that was the pinnacle of prepubescent "alone time" in my room.</span></div><br><center><iframe width="470" height="305" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oQVtxviEkDQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">That eventually lead to me getting caught watching that scene on repeat. Although my sister heard the scene repeating from my room, <span class="s1">it was still my big secret. Or so I thought!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">To this day, I still get excited whenever I see him in a movie or on TV. And I can’t wait for the "American Pie Reunion"!!!</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He was special to me, because it was the earliest time I can recall staring at a man's face on television. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">As <i>Officer Reed </i>on "Adam-12" he was serious, clean cut, and professional.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">He was a hero, a cop, and he sure looked good wearing that police uniform. </span></div>
