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 Wonder. When 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!
