Cybersocket Magazine has been running a yearly column called "Our Favorite Gay Porn Blogs" since they first began publishing. I have been blogging since 2003, and every year I check to see if I made Cybersocket's list. Sometimes I'm disappointed, but this year I made it and they even used my logo!

"Because they're free and easy to create and maintain, blogging has become the most efficient way to reach out and touch someone. Whatever the agenda - whether to inform, entertain, promote, or all of the above - blogging is now an essential marketing tool. Blogs represent one of the easiest ways to communicate ideas instantly to a worldwide audience and no industry had embraced them as heartily as the porn world."

"Since 1995, San Francisco-based Lavender Lounge has been sending its smutty gay paparazzi to cover outdoor festivals, hip bars and nightclubs, and gay porn star gatherings. The talented writers add a fun edge to their coverage of gay porn culture, making it one of our all-time favorites."

I just added a new gallery to the Vintage Bareback VIP Room called "Rock Hard" that features J. W. King and a blond hunk in an outdoor scene in the mountains. I sort of have an idea how the shoot happened, even though there is no actual way of knowing. The magazine it came from had no masthead, no photo credits, no company name and no copyright information. The magazine was titled "Rock Hard" because it mostly takes place on rocks (duh) and it is Volume 1 Issue 1. Were there subsequent issues? Doubtful.

My guess is an aspiring photographer got hired by a cigar-chomping guy with gold chains and shady reputation. The only directions were to "go out and shoot some boys and don't spend a lot of money". The photographer was probably just out of school and anxious to impress his new client. He probably heard of J.W. King as the "it" boy of the bar scene in LA or San Francisco and hit him up to do a shoot. With a hot property like the big dicked King locked in, the young photographer got the grandiose idea to do an outdoor shoot in the mountains.

To shoot hardcore porn in an outdoor setting, you really need to go somewhere completely remote so you don't get families or cops seeing you. That means a long drive and a long hike off the beaten path. No doubt it was just the two models, the photographer and a very rudimentary 35mm camera from the mid-1970's. No flash, no reflectors, no auto focus, no white balance and no digital playback. He probably left his light meter back at the dorm room, too.  

This type of shoot always starts out as all business, but after a long drive and a long hike to get away from onlookers, the "work" part becomes an annoyance compared to having a pleasant day outdoors. As the hours pass and the drugs kick in, the focus turns to the getting the sex over with. Surrounded by numerous trees, logs, rocks and undiscovered sights up ahead, it's hard to choose one spot to start shooting. The clouds shift, the tree branches move and the lighting changes as soon as you pick a good angle. Without a flash or a reflector, you are at the mercy of natural light. When your subject is half in bright sun and half in shade, the camera doesn't know how to give a good balance between overly bright light and deep shadows. Some of that can be corrected in photo processing lab, but there's no guarantee it will look good. After shooting digital for so long with the ability to preview each shot, I can't imagine going back the the uncertainty of not knowing how the shots will come out. Plus, even if the lab came up with some good photos, the printer could easily screw things up when putting it into magazine format.

Such is the problem with "Rock Hard". Most of the shots were in black and white, so I was able to do some remarkable corrections to the photos. The color photos still suffer from the dreaded color banding that I'm sure can be corrected somehow, but not known to me. Rather than presenting a series of muddy, washed out images I was able to improve a majority of the shots significantly, even better than they look when holding the magazine in your hand. Some of the close-ups actually look like, dare I say, fine art photos, with more detail than I expected. Some shots admittedly are duds, but given the possible scenario I dreamed up coupled with the antiquated film processing and low-end printing techniques, I think "Rock Hard" will be a delight to view for VIP Members of Vintage Bareback.

And, yes, they suck, rim, and fuck without rubbers on rocks, in trees and in front of a waterfall. J.W. King is gorgeous and works his giant cock like a trouper. Well worth the price of membership.

PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release

RETRO GAY PORN WEBSITE LAUNCH: VINTAGEBAREBACK.COM
Current Lavender Lounge Members Get Access to Both Sites!

Lavender Lounge Studios is pleased to announce the launch of their long-awaited website completely devoted to vintage gay porn. VintageBareback.com will be a showcase for rare and collectable gay erotic movies, magazines and still photos from the personal collection of site owner, Mark Kliem. And the best part is CURRENT LAVENDER LOUNGE MEMBERS CAN USE THEIR EXISTING PASSWORDS FOR BOTH SITES!

"In the past two years, my personal collection of vintage gay porn has grown large enough to warrant building a separate website," says Mark Kliem of Lavender Lounge Studios. "The most exciting part has been the purchase of 400 or more gay porn movies on 8mm and Super 8 film. I have already transferred a big chunk of them to digital format to show on VintageBareback.com. These are films never before available at LavenderLounge.com!"

In addition to several large purchases of vintage films, Lavender Lounge has also acquired hundreds of gay erotic magazines from the 1950's through the 1970's. "I've been scouring eBay and garage sales for the most obscure old porn. Gay imagery of any kind, even the most innocent or mundane was considered shocking at the time, so you can imagine how rare it was to find nudity or hard core gay sex in print. We've forgotten how secretive and underground the adult industry was at the time. As a result, most of the old magazines I've unearthed have no masthead, no contact address and no copyright information," says Kliem.

Sexuality is the core component that gay men share with each other and these films and magazines were often the only connections gay men had with other members of the tribe. Below the surface of mere exploitation of naked bodies, they are a time capsule of how we lived, how we dressed and how we connected when there were no rules, norms or precedent. "Building this site is a labor of love for me," says Mark Kliem. "I will be approaching the material from a somewhat historical perspective without being too scholarly and dull. The home page of VintageBareback.com is essentially a blog, so I will be using that forum to connect the dots between various cultural references and always looking for humor along the way." 

LavenderLounge.com has been Kliem's flagship site since 1999 and vintage gay porn has always been a compliment to other original content on the site. Vintage gay porn became one of the most popular sections of LavenderLounge.com, but as the site grew, it became apparent that the main site should be split into smaller, more niche-specific sites. Creating a spin-off site of vintage-only material is the second phase of the recent re-launch of LavenderLounge.com. Current members of LavenderLounge.com will have full access to VintageBareback.com with their existing passwords. New members of VintageBareback.com will also get full access to LavenderLounge.com with their same passwords.
