I charmed the pants right off of you? Cool, now it will be extra breezy ;) I was a kid when Welcome Back Kotter was a hit in the pre-cable days, and caught many of the episodes at that age since my folks liked it too. I especially enjoyed the hot guys in his class, Barbarino of course and Epstein to an extent – I thought Robert Hegyes still looked pretty good when he showed up on later seasons of Cagney & Lacey. Washington not much – and Horshack not at all. But his huh-huh-huh laugh and the way he’d say the teacher’s name was sort of his shtick, like Flo saying Kiss My Grits on Alice or JJ’s ‘dyn-o-mite!’ on Good Times, etc etc. We had such a shared history still then, before there were so many channels and content niches for people to dive into.

But yes, your Sister Mary Elephant signature is what sent my brain back to find a reference from the same era, great minds think alike, regardless of how warped they might be! Mostly referring to myself but I think it’s like that Seal song (to use a later reference) ‘we’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy’ so I mean it as a compliment.

I stay logged into reddit and use it as my primary (pretty much only) social media outlet, and I have it set to show me all the NSFW content which is one thing that’s pretty good about the site. There’s a subreddit for everything, some may not amount to much but that concept exists as much for porn as for anything else, and a large enough branch of that porn is gay or at least male-focused. So I guess you don’t get to read my reviews, which I’ll say I’m glad BJ found me on there and links to some of them, which is flattering. And that I type a lot, just whatever my brain lands on which is why I enjoy writing them so much. Neal Cassady spontaneous prose, if Neal had embraced his queer side as much as his occasional fuck buddy Ginsberg did. That pretty much sums up most of them anyway.

The Lee Stern who went by Lee Mann for Higgins was a big porn crush of mine, around my age and I’ve mentioned him before in different comments here. As Matt Sullivan in Heroes he plays this shy (but super hot) student who crushes on his teacher Cole Tucker, along with Rydar Hanson. In Delivery Boys he’s in that sex scene you posted the pic to, but doesn’t get to show as much of his goofball personality as he does in Preppy Summer (the threeway scene and also when he’s the waiter under the satin sheets), and especially in Beyond Hawaii which I think is highly underrated. The original film, I guess later DVD versions mixed up all the scenes and added other footage. Lee was so hot in that one, I loved how he back stroked his dick to reach orgasm, thumb closest to his pubes which is unusual but I’ve seen other guys get themselves off that way.

After Higgins died a few years ago someone left an anonymous comment on the Sword article they posted, and alleged that an actor died while filming Beyond Hawaii and that Higgins had covered it up. I’ve never been able to shake the possibility that it could have been Lee, there were only six guys credited in that movie. And two of them (Cory Monroe a.k.a. Sandy Shaw who had a long porn career after) and Mike Gibson (who I suspect left that comment) were seen in later films, who knows if that really happened but I wonder about it sometimes. Lee’s last credits were all films that came out in 85, same year he was Lee Stern in Aspen 2.

The Jack Dixon without the arm sleeve tats is hotter to me, but I look at both their dicks and think they are both scrumptious. I like guys wearing cockrings anyway, they seem to have gotten a bad rep at some point but they enhance the whole package, if it’s a nice dick to begin with even more. It was just a more recent example of what you were talking about, the same name thing and one of the few where it put a crimp in my filing system for saving porn actors pics. Always nice chatting with ya obsessed, you crazed and knowledgeable fanatic you.
