"vintage" porn stars music in gay porno VHS cover art

BILLY the grocery boy

AAAArrrgggghhhh! One of my readers (and I would add contributor – you know who you are) got me hooked on reddit – seemingly harmless enough. My first 2 days on the gay porn subreddits I enjoyed ID’ing pics and vids, then quickly spent less time daily, and just a couple check ins. But occasionally, something would send me down the rabbit hole of researching… and this pops up Friday

I know I know this, I know I know this….. Cosco? Fox Studio? from Halsted’s Earth Man series? Butch Barnes, Butch Barnes! who’s the other guy??? some time later I’ve figured it out, post my finding (Fox Studio’s Furlough contained in the Muscle Up collection). and my buddy confirms I’m right, but points something out while not seen in the animated GIF above, there’s not only one other guy (I knew that) but claims there is a fourth. And of course mentions the Patrick Cowley music .. so now I am compelled – COMPELLED – to dig out the VHS and watch, listen, perhaps digitize – but its not on my collection list. So I go to the hard drive for evidence, and only see the boxcover art, and image I created back in the summer of 2017. Did I sell it, did I sell it? no eBay auction file, so maybe it’s here – somewhere – in the porn basement, and I just neglected to add it to the porno collection spread sheet. I located the 3 other FOX VHS tapes I have, but alas, no Muscle Up. typo. what about a typo? maybe its a typo – I search for “Mucsle_Up” in my files, and BAM! I see I sold that darn thing in 2017, back when I was trying to lighten the load for the big move, as well as put some dough in the bank before leaving the full-time job. So then I try various websites to see if I can easily find the scenes, and that’s all of this morning, into the afternoon when I give up. BUT but but..

But. let’s go back to some harddrive file searches, Fox Studios, Muscle Up (and various misspellings) , then FOX_BROCHURE and we get this, below!

Hitchhiking marine stud BUTCH BARNES gets a lift from DENNIS and back at DENNIS’s house they strip for a swim and wind up sucking and screwing. DENNIS’s gardener MARIO watches through the window. MARIO almost shoots when he sees BILLY the grocery boy arrive and BUTCH sucking him to a 10-1/2″ climax. Too much for MARIO he climbs in the window and….

and..? AND?

below are my notes from when I (stupidly) sold my large original color big box VHS version of MUSCLE UP

note: used VHS videocassette tape, IN BOX, plays fine

Director: (non credited) (1981 VHS release) 65 minutes running time + 17 minutes of previews

Starring: Tom LeDuc, Tex Murdock, Kurt Lassen, Mark Rutherford, Butch Barnes, Jeff York; Dennis Costa, Mario Venzal, (don’t forget BILLY)

  • Muscle Up – Tom Leduc with Kurt Lassen frolicking and posing in the sun while at the pool. It soon turns into a passionate all embracing muscle worship love scene.
  • Big Shot (AKA The Quarterback) – Next handsome, super hung, Mark Rutherford performs in his only solo and adds whopping new dimensions to just a shower.
  • Leather Bond – Muscular, leather hunk, Tex Murdock gets adored by equally muscular Tom LeDuc in a sexy body worship with a leather twist. We originally called this hot loop “Leather Bound”.
  • Furlough – Butch Barnes, at the time an enlisted Marine, and his muscular Marine lover, whom he brought to us from the base; show us the intensity of their hot rugged love for each other, in a passionate sex scene Mario the gardener watches, then joins! (and? and????)
  • Originally shot and edited on 16mm film.
  • amazing music soundtrack by Patrick Cowley look it up!
  • + 17 minutes of previews for other FOX STUDIOS titles

If you got hooked on reddit (or at least boomeranged back to it) that must mean you have nerd tendencies too, in my world that’s a compliment ;) Because nerdiness can apply to math, science, porn, music, TV shows, gamestop, whatever you can think of really; and reddit can be a nerdfest if you have the patience and desire to wade through the less-than-ideal aspects to it as a website.

I found the film on xhamster, that may be where I snagged my copy from. I saw that the reply above me has a link to a different tube site so I won’t link to it again but it’s definitely out there, and I was able to confirm what I mentioned in my reddit comment to you by just watching it.

Great find to dig up the brochure! So the guy who picks Butch up in his truck is Dennis Costa; the gardener with the prominent tattoo on his bicep (looks like an eagle) is Mario Venzal; and the unknown (to me as well as gevi and iafd) delivery guy is Billy, much younger, less hairy than Dennis and without a mustache.

“Too much for MARIO he climbs in the window and….” and..? AND?”

Mario walks in with his boner sticking out of his jeans right after Butch has sucked and then given Billy a handjob, Billy disappears soon after (guess he had to get back to work) and Butch sucks and handjobs Dennis on the same couch – btw 10 1/2 inches might be a bit of a stretch but Billy has a very nice dick.

My notes for the Patrick Cowley songs from that film: Seven Sacred Pools; Pigfoot; Primordial Landscape; Cat’s Eye and Tides Of Man (the two that play during Furlough) and then repeating bits of those songs for the rest of the film. Those songs only existed in the porn films before Dark Entries remastered them and put out the retrospectives of Patrick’s music but now they are on youtube and elsewhere.

Finally this post to the Patrick subreddit, I’ve become a big fan of all his music from the disco/Hi-NRG to the porn music he made … but specific to Muscle Up, the way the first scene with Tom LeDuc and Kurt Lassen was filmed was striking, the images of them on the diving board are really beautiful:

Sorry if my response to you caused you any ‘oh shit WHAT was that called and WHAT did I do with it??’ stress, but as usual you proved your mastery with so many things vintage gay porn related, so kudos to you bud, cheers.

Ha! It was fun! I also found Furlough as a standalone download. More on that later. And popped in the album School Daze during the search.

One of the gratest porn ever made, like many other of the Fox Studio. Especially the first scene with the two olympians in the garden is awasome – thats how i imagine the gay paradise. Wonder if they were gay for pay.

i would have a hard time believing Tom LeDuc isn’t gay – or he’s a really really good actor! he seems to really enjoy himself. Kurt Lassen, his co-star, no idea – don’t know if he did any other porn

The sub ‘gaypornhunters’ is consistently active, and has been for a few years now. They have a rule that keeps adapting that you can’t post amateur porn there, but with so many guys pimping themselves out on only fans etc. that distinction becomes blurred. I think that was where somebody posted the gif from Intruders above. A lot of times I’ll start there by searching the word ‘vintage’ and seeing if there’s anything recent but some queries about older films don’t always use that specific word.

Among the subs devoted to vintage porn the one that is currently the most active is ‘vintagegaypics’, the main problem is that most of the submissions are put there by people who don’t seem to care who the guys are or what film they are from. So you’ll figure something out, kindly leave a comment and the poster just says “yeah” or “oh ok” or something non-committal. There’s also ‘vintagegayporn’ and ‘vintagegaypornnsfw’ but those are hit and miss, sometimes no new posts for a few weeks running (though even archived posts from years ago can still be seen, just not replied to). Another which was great is called ‘vintagegayvids’ but the only moderator has been awol for so long that nobody can post there anymore, unless they are approved by the absent mod who doesn’t respond to messages.

(I’m not BJ, that’s just been my experience there)
