I was watching a late-night TV talk show and one of the yakkers made the comment that the word “star” is thrown around too lightly when used in conjunction with the word “porn” – not every porn participant qualifies to be described as a PORN STAR.
Lee Ryder.
Now Lee Ryder was a porn star.
Lee Ryder exuded a boyish manly masculinity that made sex between men sex between men. It’s hard to believe he only made 13 movies. I’ve probably jerked off to Lee Ryder more than anyone ever. I think I even owned the Lee Ryder “realistic” dildo at some point.
One of my favorite Lee Ryder movies is SCREENPLAY – winner of the 1984 “Best Gay Film” by the Gay Critics Association (recently re-released on DVD by Bijou Video) – if you can get past the lame ‘screenplay’ – some of the fuck sex scenes are pure Treasure Island – check out the final scene where Lee fucks the hell out of Jon King. I still remember Screenplay’s marketing that it featured the world’s first underwater cum shot! One of my favorite scenes is this very un-Treasure Island Media- clip where Lee gets a covert under the table handjob in a crowded dining room while a bunch of other guys are eating breakfast. It’s both super hot and super ridiculous all at the same time.
My other favorite Lee Ryder movie is SPOKES. Pre-condom my ass – these movies are about as bareback raw breeding as you can get.
They don’t make porn stars like Lee Ryder anymore (I mean c’mon – he’s sitting on a bear skin rug!).
Or at least – I haven’t found him yet – and believe me – I been looking.
Lee Ryder died in 1991 at the all too young age of 31.
So here’s to you Lee Ryder.
If he were still alive he’d probably be a Treasure Island Media exclusive.
Hi Max..well thats true they were hot. my favorit from these years are Al Parker’s movie and the Joe gage Trilogy (kansas city trucking corp, LA tool and Die..etc )
The Joe Gage Trilogy is one of Paul Morris’ favorites.
When I started working for TIM, he insisted I watch them
In fact, for a while way back when, we even sold them. But that was back in the days of VHS tapes!
How long does TIM Exist? I cannot imagine a remake of the jo Gage trology by TIM….
I think you misunderstood – I never said we remade it – I said the Trilogy is one of Paul Morris’ favorites and I think that TIM sold VHS copies of the originals – 6 or 7 years ago.
Treasure Island Media was founded in 1998.
Yes Lee Ryder was a star. I saw him do a live show at the Campus Theater in San Francisco. Once I saw him I went back every day he was there. Lee walked up and down the isles naked with is stiff dick, swinging it in the faces of every one that wanted to see it/touch it/ lick it/suck it. I think he may be one of the first truly exhibitionist I ever saw. It got me sweaty and light headed to see him flaunt his sexuality so freely. I found out years later in person he was a quiet guy that liked flowers with dreams of owning his own flower shop in LA. I’m not sure we will see the likes of him again.
Yes, Lee Ryder was a Porn Star and a (star) in life also. The nice thing about (Bob) a name i knew him by, was he didnt even know it. He was one sexy dude who didnt care but he was so dam sexy in bed. I knew him right before he got into porn and have nothing but great things to say about him. Another one who has the (It Factor) is Marcus Iron. I never knew him but can tell, he is like Lee, a star in Porn but also one in life too. I dont know a porn star today, that can top Lee or Marcus. I miss Lee alot and wish Marcus would make more movies.
