“In chaise longues on each side of me, poolside, sit Colt’s newest discoveries, Rod Kasznar and King Donovan, desert sun warming their oiled musculature. They met, not surprisingly, in a West Hollywood gym.”
As promised, here ya go! For downloading, here’s a zip of the cover (which is not them) plus all these pages, article/interview and photos – MANDATE 1981 APR zip I actually teased here that I had the issue, not sure anyone noticed. Irregardless, here we go!
I love the graphic for the film Gemini, but I find this ad from/for Selo Films to be kinda strange and/or misleading – doesn’t it make you think Jack Wrangler is in all these films from this production company? But actually he’s only in Gemini (1977) But why not make a post, with all the SELO Films in one place, as kind of a placeholder. I ought to at least try to get a preview video or two, eh? OK – enuf meandering – list of films, a few pics, some videos, ready to… (reserve the right to re-edit after hitting “publish”!) I guess the point is to look at a production company, rather than the too often, mistakenly credited distributor as the maker of vintage gay male porn. God bless Bijou Video for all they’ve preserved over the years, but they are primarily a distributor, and as far as I know, actually only produced a handful of films, perhaps mid 80’s or beyond? That’s another topic, for another day.

can’t recall posting this specific pic, and I’m working on 5 posts simultaneously (so needless to say, none are ready!) so here’s….. DAN – AKA Rocky
Brothers (1973) – director: Jason Sato
“Mountain as a gay man who welcomes his straight soldier (Rick) brother home for a visit.”
I found this promotional preview somewhere on line, can’t recall where – and it looks like an interesting film. Alas, I don’t think I ever saw it on video as a complete film, but found just one scene, ironically from a compilation tape called Choice Cuts (- not sure “irony” is the right word when you’ve cut out random parts of a scene – pissing, perhaps a bit of S/M- and call it “choice” – the wrong choice!!! to edit out parts of an original film…. But I’m rambling again … where was I? Oh, that abbreviated scene is below. Too bad, but it’s likely the incest theme was too much for distributors by the time videotape came around. And isn’t one of the more note-worthy films that someone would be inspired to re-issue as a complete film (if that even exists anywhere) – but even the edited version, I’d like to see it – even just for the mustaches!
(you may recall that I have previously posted another abbreviated scene that appeared in “Choice Cuts” – Straight – with Kurt William)
Vol 1, No 1
anyone remember this post? Good. Then I don’t feel so bad. I did in fact have the magazine scanned, but, alas, the settings were way off and many of the photos were too dark.
It was primarily a personal ads magazine (probably 40-50% of the magazine)- with some very nice Man’s Image photography (maybe 22 pages, including front and back covers); and maybe 15-20% “regular” advertising like other magazines, erection “assistance” products. Let’s see, Gordon Grant, Big Luke, Bart.. a couple others. So this will have to do, as I don’t feel like digging up the hard copy, looking for the scanner, and re-doing, ok?
who you may remember from such films as:
Kasznar – previously on BJland
so maybe you remember Rod Kasznar from such publications as:
I will say, hairless muscle guys aren’t usually my thing, but he’s a notable exception – the thick cock, beefy thighs and ass help, of course! But I think his sexiest photos are when he’s paired off, especially when he’s kissing, say Frank Vickers (hubba hubba!) Oddly, I couldn’t find an image of him and actual partner King Donovan kissing, (remind me to post the April 1981 Mandate feature on them) but the “MENSROOM” pics are super hot! And a few pics with someone named Matt Cromwell are super sexy more for the way they mingle, in my opinion.
who you may remember from such films as: oops – NONE! shocking once you look at his thick thick meat and hairy hairy body
but at least you may remember him from such publications as:
likely all the above are from the same photoshoot – now before we get to the “cop” photos from 1982, looking through his pics, I wondered – no ass shot! No where, no ass, no fuzzyfurryass shot! The Stallion pics – 5 pages, over 12 – all frontal, plus one side view where they cut off the contour of his ass! But….
but – BUTT!! I am 98.7% sure that the unidentified model below from the the October 1980 issue of Mandate is Patrick – in a space-out fantasy photo spread – 1980: Space Oddity – by Malcolm Hoare – it’s got to be him right?
