An Instant Classic

This is my 100th post! On this auspicious occasion, I thought long and hard about how to celebrate this milestone. I decided to return once again to one of my favorite topics: the wonder that is Mitch Colby.

Mitch appeared on the scene at BG East only about 3 years ago, but it feels like I’ve been adoring him for much longer than that. He’s listed at 6’2″ and 206 pounds, and his bodybuilding site suggests that he perfected that fine form fairly recently, reminding us all that it’s never too late to get fit. I think what first caught my attention about Mitch was, in part, his age. He’s certainly not ready to collect social security, but he’s also not quite one of the countless just-finished-puberty boys that fill the ranks of the homoerotic wrestling genre. I love those captured moments when Mitch’s younger opponents (like Alexi, here) are clearly checking out his stunning body, despite themselves.
As I’ve mentioned, another fantastically attractive quality to Mitch is the speed with which he becomes completely soaked in sweat. He’s working hard against his opponents (and for us), and it shows.
Mitch suffers nicely. He sells his character as the bodybeautiful narcissist whose cockiness sometimes gets him in over his head. At 6’2″, Mitch shows some great ability (and readiness) to be twisted and lifted and thrown. His dismantling by the much smaller hardbody badboy Cole Cassidy is that much more stunning for the size differential.
Mitch continues to evolve in his salesmanship in dishing out punishment. He gave nearly as well as he took against Cole. This scene of Cole suffering in Mitch’s prolonged bearhug is an awesome display of Mitch’s beautifully muscled back and Cole displays the exact same face I make often when I’m thinking about Mitch!
His most recent bit with Derek da Silva showed Mitch exploring a new range that is very, very promising. I’m hoping someone will please smack him (hard) when the loses his concentration and looks into the camera, as he often does (Brad Rochelle needs to give Mitch “a lesson” in this, among other things). But it is a thing of beauty to see Mitch trap his opponent’s head between his legs, face to crotch, and squeeze those muscled thighs. Mitch seems genuinely transported into an ecstatic reverie in those moments, entirely present, and him getting turned on is a very hot turn on to watch.
Mitch seems to be venturing more into hardcore, and frankly I’ll only follow him so far down that path. But whenever he signs up for another wrestling match, particularly one which devolves from competitive passion to erotic passion, I’m there.

The Substance of Wrestling

Someone who recently signed up to read my gay wrestling fiction commented that, after reading this blog, he thinks that he’s just as much a fan of sweaty, naked men as I am. There was something sort of competitive about the comment, which, frankly, seems entirely in keeping with the spirit of what turns me on. So in honor of those who get an extra thrill from slippery, sweaty muscle-bods, here are a few of my favorite things: sweaty, naked grappling.

Some guys are just gifted in breaking out into sexy, soaking sweat. Sweat becomes a major (hot) feature of Casey Cutler’s mat action against Bud Orton in the BG East classic X-Fights 20. Orton looks like he stepped out of the shower about two minutes into the tussle, causing Casey to comment that he’s just too damn slippery to keep hold of! A breather between falls features mutual toweling off that turns into some sensual displays of muscle and power. Both hardbodies are naked and sliding across each other and the mat before the tale is told. While it falls just shy of full on body worship, I love this match for the humor, the explicit sensuality, and, most of all, the slippery, sweat soaked muscles! But what happened to the Wade Cutler/Doug Warren match from this set (or anything having to do with Doug Warren)!? I’m so glad I got my copy before it was dropped. While not nearly as sweaty, it could never be a bad thing to see Wade Cutler drop his delicious bubble butt across anyone’s face.
I’ve mentioned it before, and I’ll likely wax adoringly about it again, but Mitch Colby and Derek DaSilva are both champion sweat-studs. In their recent head-to-head in Crotch Crushers, they’re both soaked within minutes, making a freshly tanned Mitch absolutely glow. While Mitch stays in his trunks (I cry foul!!!), Derek is stripped and hard as a board halfway through the match. While ball torture isn’t really my idea of fun, I confess to being completely awestruck by the sight of a soaking wet Derek pleading for Mitch to pound his balls more as he’s heading to his climax.
I recently re-watched old-school workhorses Rob Cryston and Eduardo in Rip ‘n’ Strip Wrestling for Close-Up Entertainment (found on Can-Am’s site). Like Derek DaSilva, these muscle warriors quickly find their hairy bodies soaked in sweat. Despite some very up close and personal ball licking, Cryston and Eduardo don’t quite convince me that they’re actually enjoying the battle. The lack of chemistry is off-set, though, by Eduardo’s fantastically hairy pecs shimmering with a sheen of sweat.

I’m always on the look out for some genuinely sexy, sweaty action, so let me know if you have some favorites I haven’t mentioned. Sweat brings all the senses into focus in a homoerotic wrestling match, I think. The tactile joy of bodies slipping and sliding… what must be the fantastic musk of man scent… the sound of wet bodies slapping together… the salty taste of the evidence of sincerely hardworking men grinding and pounding. Needless to say, the sight of sweaty, naked bodies on the mats or in the ring is a thing of beauty, if you ask me.

Another Ode to Mitch

The preview of BG East’s newest catalogue (available through their Arena membership service) doesn’t include any new matches featuring Mitch Colby, sadly. I’m looking forward to seeing more of some of the recent additions to their stable of talent, though, including Kid Karisma and Rio Garza.


I’ve received a couple of messages from folks mentioning that they’re with me in appreciating Mitch. I recently enjoyed a viewing of Mitch’s older match against Bobby Horton in BG East’s Backyard Brawls 5. The Patrick Donovan/Alexi Adamov match earlier on this DVD is more satisfying for sweaty, close-up muscle pounding. Mitch’s match takes place, for the most part, in a pool, so the camera angles are from a little bit of a distance, you can only see what’s above water, and delectable sweat is washed away. Horton plays a nice smart-ass punk in need of a beating, and Mitch, God-bless him, gives even better than he takes. I like the story line including Bobby’s reluctant concession that Mitch is “the man,” though the match ends without anyone really feeling the love. No nudity, moderate sadism (including Mitch bound to a tree and gut-punched), and a nice opening scene of Mitch oiling himself up with sunscreen.
Speaking of binding Mitch, for those keeping track of such things, Mitch did a hardcore bottom role for Showguys.com with Manuel Torres. The Kink.com network also produced Mitch getting tortured by boyfaced Dak Ramsey on BoundGods.com. Too many accessories for my taste (where do you find wooden clothespins these days?), but I’m sure it’s right up a lot of guys’ alleys (so to speak).

I’m happy to share Mitch across genres, and I’m happy for him to have plenty of work to keep him busy these days. But as for me, I’m rooting to see more of Mitch wrestling, suffering, dominating, and then claiming his hard-earned prize.

So You Married a Porn Star


I haven’t mentioned my fanaticism for Mitch Colby lately, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been on my mind. He has some recent shots up on his
MySpace page with his “hubby.” The idea of the porn star coming home from a hard day at work to curl up with the partner seems on the surface to be a mood-killer. But the more I sit with that image, the more I like it. Of course, Mitch could crochet doilies and I’d pay cash to watch, but seriously, I hope that the objects of my objectifying gaze have a warm, loving home to be happy in. I sympathize with the critiques of porn as de-humanizing, so it’s a nice corrective to know that the boys of porn have homes, go on vacations, and enjoy time with loved ones. Imagining arguments over who forgot to take out the trash… now that’s a mood-killer. But the happy faces of a porn star and his hubby… that’s hot.

Similarly, I was happy to find a MySpace page for David Taylor, who I’ve mentioned before for his fantastically stunning ink. His eyes are hypnotic, though I confess that it isn’t his eyes that hold my fascination in his match in Can-Am’s Wrestle Bait… it’s his tats (that’s my story… I’m sticking to it). In any case, bi-boy David’s MySpace page features prominently his adoration for his girlfriend. I can’t bring myself to picture David coming home to his girlfriend at the end of a long day of screwing and getting screwed at work, but I’m happy that David has someone, nonetheless.
Ultimately, don’t we all end up wanting someone that we can depend on to love us when we walk in the door each evening? I like knowing that even the porn boys, with their rock hard bods starring in my favorite erotic wrestling fantasies, look forward to coming home to the warm embrace of a loved one.

Two Thumbs Up… Two Thumbs Down


Have I mentioned that I think the porn-dude Mitch Colby is beautiful? Again, just to remind you, I am not stalking him, just casually searching the net for more about Mitch. In addition to enjoying finding his MySpace page, I’ve become a fan of his wrestling videos with BG East. I’m already a big, big fan of his new wrestling release with BG East, pitting Mitch against another sentimental favorite of mine, Derek Da Silva (who also has a MySpace page… not that I’m obsessing or anything). In this new release entitled Crotch Crushers 1, it appears that Mitch and Derek spend their match torturing one another’s balls, in various states of undress and embrace. Both men excel at getting sweat-soaked (love that), and the initial pics from this release suggest that their action is once again wet and sticky. While I find watching cock-abuse a little distracting (can’t help but wincing), this looks fun.

On a related note, I also see that Muscle Adonis has released a photo shoot of Mitch in full frontal self-stimulation. While in theory this totally works for me, the teaser photos are NOT Mitch’s best. Seriously, these wouldn’t be flattering camera angles for anyone. For Mitch they make some things round that should be flat, and flattened out some things that, to Mitch’s credit, should be round. And he’s got a vaguely cerebral palsy look about him (not that there’s anything wrong with that, if you, in fact, have cerebral palsy). I hope that Mitch has an opportunity to vet his photographers and videographers a little more thoroughly in his future work. He deserves to have someone holding the camera that truly appreciates his beautiful body and displays it in the most flattering fashion. (hear the “click, click” of my Olympus in the background?)

Personal Wrestlers


Browsing the internet, I came across this ADORABLE
personal ad. The poster goes by Bay Wrestler, and the photos are candid shots of the BG East and NHB-Battle wrestler Patrick Donovan. It seems like he mostly gets the crap beat out of him in his wrestling matches, but he is stunning to watch – what an amazing chest! I can’t attest as to whether Bay Wrestler is actually, in fact, the same hottie wrestling under the name Patrick Donovan, but if it’s a fake, someone went to a lot of trouble posting a very charming, extensive personal ad with his photos. If it isn’t him, how disappointing to answer his ad and find someone else waiting for you!


And on the subject of my NOT being a stalker, I stumbled across Mitch Colby’s MySpace profile (Facebook, too) just a few days ago. As I posted
earlier, he’s one of my current favorites in the homoerotic wrestling video genre these days. His MySpace profile includes a lot of pics of him at his bar in Florida, including several with another favorite of mine, Zack Vazquez. What a nice, small virtual world. And just to repeat, I’m NOT stalking (though I suppose that’s what a stalker would say). And I’m hoping not to infringe on any copyrights, here. I just enjoy spreading the word about beautiful men, and all the better when they wrestle!

A Fan Favorite







Clearly I’m not the only one who finds wrestling inherently homoerotic. Many gay video companies specialize in wrestling products. One of my favorite wrestlers is from BG East, appearing in several of their productions in the past couple of years. He wrestles as Mitch Colby, and he has a bodybuilding blog under the name Marc. He’s got a gorgeous face and body, and he’s recently been doing more explicitly erotic wrestling. When he dominates and then makes out with his opponents, it’s a provocative work of art! Keep them coming, Mitch/Marc!
