It must be, for sure! I googled the image but only found out that it´s a 60s vintage pic, nothing else... 

Well, thanks for posting these - you've found some great photos - reminds me of years ago at the Gold Coast / Meat Market / Loading Dock back in Chicago 😉

Your welcome! As a matter of fact, I try to refrain from posting more of these pix because I´m not sure if it is everybody´s taste. Also eliminated a gallery with covers of old porn magazines from the 80s and 90s because I wasn't sure about copyright issues...

Ok @evilcoyote, I will! I´ll make a new album, retro style... A lot of Tom of Finland, for sure!

I think this is a photo of Peter Berlin. Not positive. But he was a hot porn model in the 60s.

WOOF!

Probably the photographer, but not the model. I googled Peter Berlin, and the model here is way too stockier than him...

You are probably right. Most photos show him as thinner And also with the longer hair you see here. But he was a favorite of Andy Warhol, who took lots of photos of Peter Berlin. But … and I’m dust relying on memory … Around the time he made a Leather porn video his title was I think “Night in Leather” he was a bit thicker. But ultimately, it’s neither here nor there. The original pic that launched this thread is hot! Lol

@DarkroomTaker I will! The gallery that I posted (and then deleted) was about all those FreshMen, Jock, Honcho, All Man, etc magazines that became part of my adolescence (and that no-so-adolescence stage as well 😈). In fact, there´s is a story behind it: when I moved from my parent´s house to live on my own, I was way behind schedule with the moving truck arriving the next morning, but I had to go to work. So my mom -in order to lend me a hand- asked her maid to help her packing all the stuff from my closet (no pun intended). Outcome: when I came back, I found out (in total horror) that all my porn mags collection (over 200, easily) were tidily packed in plastic bags and inside a bigger sports bag over the bed... We never EVER talked about it... Thereafter, I particularly tried to avoid -as far as I could- visiting my parents while the maid was there (context: mid-90s, so you get the picture); actually, I never saw her again! A couple of years later, since I was moving to another country and the internet was making its way to a good career as a porn provider, I decided to throw them away. BIG MISTAKE! Nowadays, I regret it and cry over all those dearly, cum stained lost magazines... 😭 Hence, this is gonna be my personal little tribute to all those fab porn actors that I fucked with in my filthy mind...

I sure did! Knowing that you miss all those nights (and cum) spent at the Gold Coast, this one goes for you buddy...

First, yes - that's Peter Berlin above, when he was first getting started. 

NOW.  I remember that first one very well - it hung on the S wall of the bar,  The bottom one looks like an ad in Gay Chicago magazine, announcing dates/times for events.  

It so happens that I have the "STOP: Dress Code Enforced" sign that hung above the stairs leading down to the basement area.  The john down there was tiny, but the action spilled out to the whole basement area.   I got it when the 501 location was sold (and turned into a chic little restaurant .... what a sordid end to a legendary place).

And, Dom gave me 2 of his signed originals, which hang proudly in the slingroom.    Pretty cool, huh ???

WOW! AWESOME!.. I didn´t know about Dom´s work until now. Thank you for sharing your story... 

I'm not sure I understand the above ..... you came right up with some of his work .....

And THANKS for finding it !!!

I was focusing on the fact that Dom gave you two of his signed originals, which means not only that you have a little piece of art in your hands (or sling room), but that you also interacted with him... I didn´t know the existence of Etienne and his work until I read you.

I still have a number of those old magazines, titles like COLT, OLYMPUS and others. And of course thrones for which I wrote, like TORSO, HONCHO, FIRSTHAND, MEN, FRESHMEN, DRUMMER, BLUEBOY, and some others. But only single issues of those. They’re like treasure to me.

A Tom of Finland man in the flesh. A turn-on for sure. 

Dom Orejudos is the artist who's nom-de-sketch-pencil? was Etienne (his middle name).  He and I were friends for years, and no, I never did.  One of the kindest, gentlest, talented men I've had the pleasure of knowing. He was also a fan-fuckkin-tastic cook.  When they lived on Wrightwood, their house had previously been the home of some club or organization - can't recall which - but it had a commercial kitchen, of which Dom made very good use.  Those were lovely times .....
