This is the 900th “Best of 2012” list I’ve made this week, so bear with me… As delirious as I am from copying and pasting links, I feel like it’s my duty as a blogger to deliver the top ten Flashback Friday posts of the year. Well, it’s not just my duty! I enjoy doing it. Even if the tediousness of the process makes my brain melt a little.
So which “retro” guy had you stroking the most? Was it bearded sex god Al Parker? Classic Hollywood beauty Guy Madison? Or maybe, just maybe, incredibly handsome muscle jock Mike Branson? The answer is finally here! Drop your pants and take a stroll down memory lane.

10. BOYS OF ITALY (1976):
We wrote: “Today’s edition of Flashback Friday takes a break from pornstaches and muscle bears, as we feature a smörgåsbord of models collected from two separate issues of the late ’70s magazine Boys of Italy. Alas, these “boys” aren’t necessarily the type you’d see in a film like Bustin Beeber. They keep it natural down there, if you know what I mean (and I think you do).”

9. TRACK MEAT (1979):
We wrote: “Today’s offering, once again, comes from the lovely folks at Retro Men Plus. Frankly, we’re not even sure why you bother waiting for our Flashback Friday posts every week, when youcould just join their mailing list and have this stuff directly e-mailed to your inbox. Did I mention they’re wittier than me?”

8. THE MAGNIFICENT COWBOYS:
We wrote: “To state the obvious, The Magnificent Cowboys looks rather magnificent. The 1971 gay porn classic takes you to a quaint little ranch where the deer and the antelope play, where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and where a bunch of horny country boys pound one another’s brains out.”

7. RICHARD DUBOIS:
We wrote: “And now for something completely different! Today’s edition of Flashback Friday goes back further than the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and early ’00s content you’re used to seeing in this series. Thanks to a tip from our colleague Diego, our eyes have now collided with vintage male pinup model Richard Dubois (also known as Dick Dubois, a name I prefer for obvious reasons).”

6. GUY MADISON:
We wrote: “This week, my bud Matthew at Naked Pictures of Your Dad kicked off a countdown of the “100 Hottest Men Who Ever Lived”. I had the privilege of voting as an out-of-town panelist, and I recently submitted a guest post about the #90 finisher Guy Madison.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: Guy Madison is not a porn star, nor has he ever appeared in a gay porn film… But, gosh, the man is frickin’ handsome.

5. FAMILY SECRETS (1995):
We wrote: “There’s a reason Chi Chi LaRue‘s a legendary, award-winning porn director. She makes damn good films! The 1995 cousin-on-cousin flick Family Secrets is clear proof of this ongoing phenomenon, thanks to a hardcore foursome between Jake Taylor (pictured above), Rick Matthews, Steve Cannon, Sam Crockett and a practically monolithic dildo.”

4. JACK VENICE:
We wrote: “What ever happened to him? Where is he now? These are common questions we receive on our Flashback Friday posts. In the case of Jack Venice, we actually have the answer! He’s serving a life-sentence in prison, because he’s a total dick-wad of a human being.”

3. MIKE BRANSON IN THE FRESHMEN (1997):
We wrote: “Our last post about legendary gay porn star Mike Branson didn’t have any video clips in it. This is simply unacceptable, because you can’t fully appreciate Mike Branson’s unbelievably perfect dick without seeing it in action. In particular, you can’t appreciate Mike Branson’s unbelievably perfect dick (and everything else) until you’ve watched the locker room orgies from The Freshmen… So go watch them. It’s important to us that you learn to appreciate Mike’s dick.”

2. TIME FOR TWO (1985):
We wrote: “Are you ready to look at a 1985 Playguy photo shoot, in which two models show off their very prominent tan lines? If you’re looking for a reason why I selected ‘Time For Two’ for today’s Flashback Friday, please direct your attention to the one model’s sandy rump… Frolicking naked on the beach is never quite as magnificent in real life (sand in your crack!), but this pair manages to make it look like the most appealing activity in the world.”

1. TOM CHASE & ERIK KORNGOLD:
We wrote: “This clip of Tom Chase and Erik Korngold in COLT‘s Open House is a total classic! To be completely honest, I’m not even sure if that last sentence is true, but it’s at least a classic in my pants. Korngold’s foreskin is epic, Tom Chase is Tom Chase (aka hot as fuck), and that random pool guy whose name I don’t know, because I’m young, stupid and too lazy to look it up? Yeah, it’s a winning equation.”

HONORABLE MENTION:
A handful of Bijou Video releases just missed the mark, including but not limited to Rangers, The Bigger the Better, Inches, The Fantastic Heroes, The Idol, Fire Island Fever, The Experiment and The Light From The Second Story Window. These were some of my favorite movies to write about, so I highly recommend checking them out!

Mike Branson was so hot.

Agreed. The locker room orgies in “The Freshmen” are must-sees and his scene with Tom Chase in “California Kings” may be the greatest 2-man porn scene EVER.
OMG I am still very much obsessed with Mike Branson. That man is just…unf. Anyway, does anyone know what he looks like now? I don’t need to know his real name, just want to see a picture of his on current days.
