Happy Valentine's Day! Heart Throbs from the Past

Hello folks, Will here!

Well, it's been some time since I have signed on with that line. I hope you all have been well in the interim!

With a title like the above, I'll be digging back - way back - in my memories of men with whom I have had the Pleasure! After recently celebrating my diamond birthday, I thought it might be a good idea to write about these guys while I still have it fresh in my mind! But, then again, how could anyone ever forget the experience of being with likes of Al Parker, Bruno, Jim Bentley and of course Richard Locke!

There were other heart throbs of that time and slightly later with whom I never got to experience the pleasures. But, I do have a vivid imagination. And, here at Bijou you are just a click away at bringing them right into your own man cave!

Al Parker - Icon of the ages.

I never even knew that I was going to make a film with him until that very day. It was an early Falcon production - Weekend Lockup. I was freshly transplanted from New York to San Francisco via an offer from Chuck Holmes, the studio's owner and creator.

We had a lot of fun working on the scenes that day... if you could call it work! I really hit it off with Al and his lover, Steve Taylor, who co-starred in the film. At the end of the day, these two invited me to their home in Manhattan Beach for a weekend of our own kind of lockup! Needless to say, I didn't get to see much of the beach! Boy! Those two were real sex machines.

Bruno - Another face and body that you saw plastered all over gay media!

This particular meeting and shooting was quite unusual. My friend, Lou Thomas (of Target Studio fame), had arranged for me to take off a couple of hours off from my lifeguard job at the Boatel (of Fire Island Pines fame). He was friends with my boss, John Whyte - the Boatel owner. Lou had made arrangements with owner of a beautiful Pines home, complete with pool, as our set for the day. Once again, I was taken by surprise as I was only told hours before that I was "on loan" from John.

As I remember, it was a Wednesday afternoon when I sauntered up to the beachfront location and first laid my eyes on Bruno. We had never met and I really did not know what to expect. I mean, yes, I had seen my fair share of his pics. But, I did not know what a gentle giant he was and how passionately and authentically he performed. If I were not already in a relationship, I could have easily fallen for this tall, dark and sensuous man! Alas, we only had that afternoon. But, he left his impression!

Jim Bentley - "Is it true blondes have more fun?"

If it's Jim, the answer is a resounding YES! Energetic, fun and sex to the Moon and back are my memories. We met on the set of Cabin Fever. Although there was a fairly large cast, sparks started flying between us immediately. We didn't need a script or props - all they needed to do was to keep enough film in the camera! Off camera, we developed a really fun relationship. Of course, sex was at the center. But, we had other mutual interests, to boot.

When I first went over to his Polk Street apartment, he warned me that there was a huge "cage" in his living room. Me, being a bird fancier all of my life, I thought that was really cool.

After a night of endless flip-flopping, I awoke to see his huge cage uncovered. Ironically, he was breeding Moluccan Cockatoos. I had a beautiful female of that species at home named "Gloria!" She took to Jim right away leaping from my shoulder right to his. He loved her, too. Such a nice man. And, so many memories!

Richard Locke - (Speaking of Icons!)

Well, I did know in advance that I would be working with Mr. Locke via the crew that interviewed me for the part of Wylie in L.A. Tool & Die! My interview took place in San Francisco. But, the movie was shot in Los Angeles.

Richard and I were both living in S.F. at the time. Somehow, word got out about the two of us and this upcoming blockbuster. Another studio asked us to film Cruisin' the Castro before the filming in L.A. It was a smaller production, but was packed with some steamy sex scenes. That's where Richard and I first "met!" It was really good chemistry on the set... one whose formula we were able to keep alive and hot for our L. A. adventure.

He had a natural sexiness that I found irresistible. One that kept me panting despite the lighting, sound and many other techs present to give this film its "major studio" feel. I also love Richard's professionalism. We were there to make a fuck flick and by golly that's what we did! Yeah, it's work... but, somebody's got to do it!



I hope all of you folks out there have steamy and fun memories that Cupid and his arrows can dig up for you to relive! Happy Valentine's Day!

Will! 💖
