On another thread, one of our esteemed forumites, Repareur mentioned Jack Wrangler and it made me think of the first time I ever knew of gay erotic, (porn) movies on the big screen here in New York City. I can recall seeing little advertisements in the NYC tabloid papers like The Post and The News, even before I was old enough to venture to "adult theaters".
It sure was thrilling for this closeted gay teenager to know that these movies were actually playing in the city and I eventually got on the subway by myself and hoped they would allow me in, which they did, and I got to see early stars like Jack Wrangler and Casey Donovan.
They and others were the forefathers of gay porn as we moved from movie theaters and porn arcades into the age of VHS players, DVD's and internet porn. Without Jack Wrangler then, we might not have Tanner Valentino today, as the porn world turns.....LOL
