Additionally, one of the photographs poses three men together, with two of them sitting atop the back of the third, who is resting on his forearms and knees. The hands of the man sitting at the back of the two atop the third are has his The photo is captioned:

"The camaraderie among bodybuilders is a strong link that binds a group of men shut out from society by prejudice and fear. This kinship, which involves muslebuilders helping each other with exercises, gives way to fierce competition when the contests roll around."[1]


Adding names to the list

I can appreciate wanting to make List of gay porn stars as complete as possible, however, please read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a directory. This list is not a directory of gay male porn performers, it is a list of performers who warrant inclusion in Wikipedia as the subject of an article. Turning it into a directory is the quickest way to get it deleted.

Please refer to the proposed guideline at Wikipedia:Notability (pornographic actors), aka WP:PORN. A listing in the IMDB is specifically listed as a Non-Criteria; if you read the discussion of the guidelines, that point has gained wide consensus, even if some of the rest of the critera are undecided. This is only a guideline, not a policy, but inclusion in IMDB is generally dismissed as being important.

Several actors have been added lately that don't belong on the list; they have extremely small filmographies in unimportant films and they are not well-recognized in mainstream gay pornography. One possible way to show that they should be included is to provide evidence that they are considered icons of porn in their own countries (as Ken Ryker, Al Parker, etc., are here); or to show that films they were in were ground-breaking films at the time or were in some other way important to the history/development of gay pornography.—Chidom talk  22:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Copy and paste the information below into your edit page. Most of the fields should be self explanatory, except "measurements" which becomes Penis size. The field name is kept for historical compatibility with articles using earlier template versions.

Note: The perfomer name in the infobox is generated from the article name.

[edit] Move to San Francisco

Before moving to San Francisco, California, in the early 1970s, Dennis Forbes was the Assistant Director of Publications at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. He worked as the volunteer Art Director for the Society for Individual Rights (S.I.R.) monthly magazine, Vector. In that capacity, Dennis was noticed by David B. Goodstein, the future owner of Liberation Publications, Inc., publisher of The Advocate: Newspaper of America's Homophile Community.[3]

As the San Francisco correspondent for After Dark magazine, Forbes wrote reviews and contributed articles illustrated with his photography. He formed Paragon Photographics with model John Appleton and produced a "zodiac" calendar of his nude photographs of Appleton. The calendar was advertised in After Dark and sold well. A second calendar featuring photographs by Forbes of several nude models was planned, but was abandoned when Forbes and Appleton ended their association due to "creative differences."[4]

Forbes continued producing black and white photographs of nude males for a book project through the formation of Gymnos Studio. In December 1974, David Goodstein hired Forbes after having purchased The Advocate, a Los Angeles-based gay bar newspaper.

Between December 1974 and September 1975, Dennis Forbes served as Art Director of The Advocate, Liberation Publications, Inc. (LPI) Creative Director, and ultimately as Associate Publisher. It was in this capacity that he designed Crawford Barton's Beautiful Men, one of the earliest books of homoerotic photography.[5] [6]

Dennis Forbes left LPI and returned to freelancing in September 1975. As a freelancer, he continued to make contributions to The Advocate, both with the every issue feature The Madding Crowd, and the occasional writing, photography, or design special assignment.

As an independent contractor photographer and art director, Forbes acquired Falcon Studios as a client late in 1977. As photographer, he would shoot stills during Falcon Studio's production of the 8-mm hardcore gay porn loops. He also shot nude glamour photos of Falcon's "superstar" models, such as Dick Fisk and Sky Dawson.

As art director, Forbes designed the studio's promotional brochures and print ads and placed "beefcake" photos with the available erotic gay magazines (In Touch for Men, Mandate, and Blueboy, for example.
