FOCUS ON RICK PANTERA  Bijou Video is the place to go to cum as you explore the golden age of gay porn (the seventies and the eighties), but our range and breadth extends to a later period after the height of the AIDS crisis and the beginnings of the home video and the ensuring digital age. One of our major studs (and he is certainly studly) we love to showcase is Rick Pantera, who appears in our titles Find This Man, Sperminator, and also Robert Prion's Total Impact, all available on DVD and also streaming instantly.  According to Wikipedia, Rick was born in 1965 (he's of a later generation than some of Bijou Video's cast of retrostuds like Al Parker and Jack Wrangler) in Topeka, Kansas (not exactly the Jolly Tearoom of gay sex). His real name (I kid you not) is Glenn Patrick Glenn. There's next to nothing really specific available about what he did before 1991 (he apparently did some dancing in gay porn theaters) when he exploded onto the gay porn scene, a lean, mean, muscle sex machine, in the flick Headbangers. Not that I claim to be major size queen or cock chaser, but getting down and dirty, his cut 9-inch dick is simply gorgeous. I mean, he wields it masterfully in the films he stars in we carry, but just looking at it, one can understand the appeal of the cult of Priapus in all its manifestations.  A person is not just his dick, however well-endowed, and Rick (also known as John Pantera in some of his screen appearances) has revealed many, many interesting details about himself in an article that appeared in Fresh Men magazine soon after he made Find This Man with muscle stud Donnie Russo and cutie Danny Sommers. What I gather from the article, and I agree with the impressions of the interviewer Dave Kinnick, is his fresh honesty. He is not afraid to get down and dirty when he talks, but it's spiced up with a disarming yet enticing attitude. In Find This Man, Rick does a three-way with Tony Lattanzi and Danny Sommers, and in the interview, Rick is pretty clear on Danny Sommer's role in that film: “Getting fucked.... By me. It was a three-way scene. Someone was holding him up against a glory hole while I fucked the shit out of him from the other side. It was fun. They needed someone with a dick big enough to stretch through the hole and fuck him good, so they called me up.” All in all, this quote is definitely a great advertisement for the movie!  Rick's interview also gives the reader a slice of gay life in New York in the early nineties, when areas like East Village was still affordable and the Manhattan clubs and discos were still hot, vibrant points for gay men's sexual and social activities.   He says he danced, and he also makes a point of saying (interesting in light of the history of the AIDS crisis and its effects on gay sexual interactions, especially the closing of the bathhouses) that, “All the New York discos are basically pure chaos. They way they're designed and what goes on in them is a free-for-all. Manhattan's a free-for-all – you do what you want, where you want, and with who you want.” He also mentions the bar back room scene, which I do remember was very big during this period in Chicago as well (and not just in the leather bars), as well as the sex club scene.  Some interesting tidbits, mostly from his sex club experiences: “Dave: Under what circumstances might you find yourself with a foot up someone's butt? Rick: You usually start with a toe or something. Like if you're having an orgy and there's an odd guy … sometimes you're doing three or five guys at once. There's always one odd guy, so you try to find him and shove something up his butt.” “Rick: I love to eat ass. That's one of my favorite things to do. I can eat ass for long time.” “Dave: In a sex club, are your pants more likely to be on but with you dick sticking out or completely down around your ankles? Probably halfway down my butt. At least enough so I can get my balls out over the opening so people can lick them. I love getting my balls licked.” Now, what's also interesting here, even though it's clear that Rick is a confident, attractively cocky fuck top, he is also into more passive sex (ah, how many tops like to eat ass, let's face it, and I know from experience as the “ass-eatee”), and also sex that is less risky, which was a trend in the sex clubs at that time, many of which focused on jacking off. And speaking of passive activities, Rick remembers being dildoed in his first movie, Headbangers. He first refused to do it, but the producers said they would pay him more, and he said it was OK if it was a small one (hmm!). The first one they brought out was too big, and they brought one they claimed was smaller. Then, behold: “Now, this guy behind me has obviously never had a dildo in his hand in his life and he's, like, going to shove this one in my ass. So, I bent over and thought, I can handle this, I mean, how bad can it be? He took this thing and just, like, shoved it in – bam! And I let out the loudest scream. By the time I stopped screaming, you could hear a pin drop.” Well, not everyone can take what one can dish out! Rick shares his dancing abilities in this video interview with Tom Green, available here. I repeat: he's one sexy dude, and he's got those cheekbones that love the camera. And he's an unabashed exhibitionist. He's got it, and he's going to flaunt it, even when he's being dildoed!   Rick won the Best Ethnic Performer award at the 1993 Grabbys for his performances in Blackdraft and Hand Jobs 4 (Catalina Video). He is still around, living in Brooklyn in a work/live studio space. He's now a union actor, doing small parts in various movies and TV shows, and he's an active presence on social media, with a large twitter following.  |
