If you believe in fate, it is easy to say the porn star career of Nicholas Iacona (aka Joey Stefano) was inevitable because of his backside.
His looks were never called into question, and his body, while not “gym-centric,” was a pleasure to look at; however, his looks and his body do not account for his derriere. Stefano’s backside was large, curvaceous, and ready for those who could handle it.
In the first video I saw him in, a wretched piece of schlock called Sweet in the Bootie, Stefano is taking a bath and looking at a gentleman in a shower. The shower boy has a rather large penis, and to entice him to come out, Stefano turns on his stomach and sticks his posterior in the air.
The water barely covers the mounds of backside flesh and when Stefano spreads his cheeks, his ass resembles a fleshy ripe mango. Stefano plays with his ass a bit, looks at the big penis man, and returns to his ass. The gentleman is properly aroused and joins Stefano in a coupling that is only worth remembering because Stefano’s butt takes all of the dick.
Good looks and a plump, mango-like ass, however, do not make a porn star (they help of course). Something else added to Stefano’s presence on screen. Put simply, Stefano was the randy boy next door. Granted, that is the archetype for all porn stars, but for Stefano it was true because he turned to porn to have sex with attractive men.
Charles Isherwood, in Wonder Bread and Ecstasy: The Life and Death of Joey Stefano, quotes the following line from Chi Chi LaRue (porn director, who is credited with discovering Stefano):
“He [Stefano] would rattle off lists of names of guys he’d want to have sex with…they were mostly guys from way back, like Jack Wrangler, Cole Carpenter, Eric Manchester, and Chad Douglas.”
If Stefano was not attracted to his partner, that would show on the screen, and there are many Stefano videos that show his complete boredom. Yet when he had the hots, Stefano was centered on pleasure and he had no fear about showing it.
In Jerry Douglas’s More of a Man, an opus to sex, religion, and political activism (one character is an ACT-UP member), Stefano plays Vito, a closet case who searches for love in all the wrong places. Vito’s first encounter is in a restroom and Stefano’s sexuality melts the screen. When Stefano engages in fellatio, he does not do the quick short-suck. He takes his time to suck the dick that is offered him. He kisses it, laps it a bit, then ever so slowly works his way to the base.
When he first gets fucked, Stefano is hard and has the look of unadulterated pain and pleasure — the look that all bottoms know — a look that is not scripted, and it can’t be acted by our best thespians. It was this look that made him stand out because the look acknowledged what gay porn so rarely does: pleasure.
In the world of gay porn, a world that glorifies the representation of gay sex, there is a trend to mythologize the work of the top, while the bottoms are seen, at best, as two-bit players. Necessary to the world, but not the main attraction.
The porn stars who earn the box covers and make the most dollars are marketed tops. Tops who would never dare to show any interest in their partners unless to say how they want the butt they are invading “nice and tight.” We are given the allure of the top (which is actually the allure of the straight man, but that is for another time), and like compliant sheep, we follow.
Every so often, however, a gay sex performer knocks us off our sheep backsides and reminds us that sexuality, at its most powerful, is not about absolute lines between top and bottom. These performers show us that sexuality is about desire and connection, and the obliteration of contrived lines.
Joey Stefano’s performances asked us not to be sheep.
That ever lived? I don’t know about that, but it did prompt me to pull out my copy of On The Rocks, a video that includes a hot three-way between Matt Gunther, ubertop Jeff Stryker, and uberbottom Joey Stefano. As I watched the scene again, I was reminded why Joey has passed into the realm of porn icons. Truly, Joey was a top in a bottom’s body — content to rule from below as his natural right. Knowingly or not, the video plays off this energy. Stryker plays the classic top and fucks them both to climax, but Joey is the aggressor as the action unfolds. As he approaches Stryker and leans in with a confident gaze, he asks, “So, how come you never kiss guys in your films?” Joey gets a nibble of Stryker’s pouty, sneering lips, and just so there’s no doubt who’s drawing the most energy into the scene, Joey shoots twice — first and last.
The code phrase here, the key to the secret, is “contrived.” Erotic attitudes, erotic skills, role play are all culturally conditioned, which is to say “contrived.” Cultivated, in short.
Anal erotic sensitivity can be cultivated. But we live in a culture that attempts to obliterate anal eroticism by associating it with feeling of guilt and shame. That cultural goal is fairly easy to achieve because the anus retains and excretes feces, which is more offensive than urine, it anal sensitive is more easily repressed than dick pleasure, which is necessary to procreation as anal pleasure is not. Nor does is the pleasure of listening to a well-performed violin concerto contribute anything to procreation. Socio-phychology 101. No Charge.
Hey – I’da fucked him.
Me too darl! Twice!
solisito envien informacion videos y todo lo relativo al mundo gay
I knew Joey personally, and he had a wonderful, charming side to him. He called me from Philly shortly before his tragic death and told me how well he was doing and how happy he was. His death came as a blow to those whom knew him off stage and screen. Some will judge, but others will not and will regret the loss.
no, the greatest porn bottom was by far the beautiful Domino. so much more handsome, so much more devoted to the cock in his ass, always hard wet.
Who in the fuck is/was “Domino”?
kevin williams might be the best bottom ever.
ur ass is ugly
heheeee
Actually, I think Jon King was probably the hottest bottom who ever lived… however, Joey comes in at a very close second!
I don’t know if Joey was the “best” bottom, but there is one thing that helped him pass up the rest of the pack… He LOVED getting fucked! And that totally makes a difference! You could tell that while it was happening, he genuinely LOVED it. He didn’t just oooh and ahhh for the camera with pouty lips. His acting wasn’t “acting”… he was really having a good time!
Always wanted to be Joey. Wilfred Knight is my new favorite. He crawls on top, but when he bottoms he exudes a joy of submission reminiscent of Joey
Is there any website with the real story of al these dead pornstar
No doubt about it – Kevin Williams IS the uberist of all uberbottoms!
Definitely, the best EVER. The first porno I started watching was Falcon in the early 90s. When I saw Joey Stefano lower his pants and bend over I couldn’t believe it. Just amazing. Funny, I would definitely put Kevin Williams as my #2. I still pull out those old VHS tapes from time to time and I still get hard and get off. Wish I would have spent the money to hire Joey for a night way back then!
Joey stands out because he truly embodied on the screen the same joy
Tom of Finland gives us on paper. Sex, it’s fun. It’s pleasure.
No guilt. All the others are acting, Joey LOVED it all.
Are you serious? His ass is not all that!
To Howard E. Cook – a lot of B__ __ S__ __ __ __!
The problem is that gay porno should be depicted in a different way – rather as a realtionship than two ( or more ) guys just having it off
I’m a weel experienced older man – I had all the videos & even prayed for himm all the time – one of the few really DEVOTED guys in the sex trade who showed his enjoyment & usually gave us his all!!
Jon King for sure
hot bottoms now are brent corrigan and mason wyler.
brent looks 16 and when he gets fucked he makes it look both painful and ecstatic. his ass doesnt look as gapingly opened and used as much as stefano’s did. joey was hot but a big dick seemed irrevevant in his ass- he swallowed up everything with nonchalance. mason wuler is a hot nasty bitch when unleashed with the right co star- or all his co stars in “spokes 3″. as for kevin williams, i saw a clip recently of chad douglas fucking him hard on a bench and his hair didnt move and he looked bored. i like seeing them thinking they are gonna have trouble walking afterwards…
the extremely handsome boy getting fucked by TONY Stefano in Inch by Inch (the one who was trying to steal his piss stain shorts to pay his rent) looked like he was being split open- what was his name?
lovr that ass…..want to feel that too….
No one’s mentioned Rick Hammersmith, another bottom who clearly enjoys it. And he’s all man to boot.
This may be going back a bit, but what about Kevin Wiles.
He was one of the first insatiable bottoms out there. His scene with Chad Douglas in Big Guns is still porn’s classic.
Joey in my opinion is the greatest gay porn star of all time. He is the first man I ever saw in a gay movie that made me stop and find out what his name was and I never forgot it. He was an amazing bottom and I have never seen anyone who did it better. Kevin Williams in up there too. He also appeared in Madonna’s “Sex” book and I believe he would have become more famous to the general population had he lived longer. In his short life he made a huge impact on the gay adult film world and I would have loved to watch him grow into a beautiful old man. In respone to some of the earlier posts about “his butt not being all that”… you really have to see him in one of his movies to appreciate how beautiful he was. He showed me at an early age that gay men could be just as beautiful and appealing, if not more so, than straight men. RIP
i lov this site and just lov males penis i m also a gay and i lov gays
I could never EVER get enough Joey in the early 90’s. He was almost like a role model for us bottoms. Those smoldering beautiful eyes, along with his boyish good looks..and especially the way he’d pick up some of his own cum and eat it and suck his fingers!!! WOW!!!
I will say, though, the the new Millenium has brought us a new best bottom ever. His name would be DAWSON. He is the most insatiable bottom I have ever seen in 40 years on this planet. It’s almost as if part of Joey lives on in Dawsom.
all u dudes are wrong – i’m the best bottom that ever lived!!!!
“The extremely handsome boy getting fucked by Tony Stefano in Inch by Inch (the one who was trying to steal his piss stained shorts) looked like he was being split open- what was his name?”
The smooth, lily-white-assed boy you’re speaking of was Steve Henson, one of the un-related, but very talented Henson Trio of the 1980’s… Steve was a very hot top and bottom, but I suspect that he truly did have drug problems because by his last appearance in 1989’s View to a Thrill, he really seemed to be a shadow of his former self, with hardly any lines…
I loved Joey’s deep voice. I had the pleasure of dancing with him at a club called 1970’s back in 1989 damn he was sexy. He said he liked dancing with Marines…which I was at the time…..believe me i wish it could of been more than dancing. He was very nice and i liked the fact that he didn’t care if i was hispanic(not blond or blue-eyed)…..he just liked men ….period.
how did joey die?
Joey was a beautiful man. Those fantastic lips; the blue green eyes;the great smile (with the less-than-perfectly straight teeth —all the better!; and the olive skin. I’m sorry to think he must have lived a very sad life. How may gay/lesbian people growing up in lower economic classes can relate? Social non-acceptance and shame prompts alcohol/drug abuse, not sexual orientation. We must support all GLBT people with these problems. How else can they come out and accept themselves?
I hate looking at Joey’s pictures because everytime I do, the feelings I get is generally anger, sadness, and loss.
I know its stupid; Joey was killing himself with the drugs, possibly unprotected sex, and so forth. And I even know some people are going to continue to do what they do no matter what; but damn.
To die at 26,(needlessly) is a helluva shame.
Honey if I had his looks, the last thing I’d do is die from a drug O.D.
KYLE McKENNA surpasses them all. He was unique. There has never been anyone like him–either before or since. There was nothing “sleazy” about Kyle–that’s what made him “different”…
Kevin Williams would have been the best top ever if he would have full filled his real life fantasy and did a black gang bang. He’s really into hung blk cock. He would have loved to do the Chi Chi La Rue’s Black balled series.That would have been So HOT!!
I met Joey (Nick) at a club and we hooked up. He was incredible in bed. We made love all night and he brought me to hights I never knew I could achieve. He was a really nice sensitive guy who most people don’t see on the screen. I am pretty hung which Nick was really aroused by and I enjoy having sex with him and making love to him. We got together a few times after that, but then he died. He was a good person he was just trying to enjoy life and I think he did. I’m sorry he’s not here today because I’m sure he would have gone places.
As far as hungry bottoms go, Joey Stefano was it for me!–He just jumped off the screen and into your bedroom! WOW!!–That amazing ass was something to behold and his east coast italian boy good looks just sealed it in blood for me!
I have several of his old films on DVD now, but my favorite was the one where he bottomed for another of my faves from back in the day…versatile sexy hung latino hunk Rod Garetto, with that awesome 10 inch cock and that cheezy Village People moustache of his! (LOL!!) Joey was one of the few bottoms who could make Rod swoon with pleasure while he was fucking him! Their scene from “Inside Vladmir Correa” was an incredible pairing of a top and bottom!–Rod could take some dick himself too!
There is a rare scene too where Joey Stefano takes on sexy black studs Gene Lamar and Ty Jones, I forget the name of the movie, but they fuck the hell out of him in every position known to man and he just looks up at them, as if you to say…”Is that all you’ve got?” The scene ends with both black studs and Joey cumming buckets!–You can tell that they meant it! Another favorite bottom, or should I say versatile bottom of mine from back in the day was Danny Brown! Holy geez!!–That kid was sexy as hell, and that ass of his was made to be pounded! He could do it all!–Bottom, top, fuck men or women, rim asshole or eat pussy and kissed like a dream!
He was another hungry bottom that made Rod Garetto and every other top he’d ever done a scene with, swoon with pleasure! With both Joey & Danny, you knew you were seeing bottoms who loved what they were doing and it was empowering!
Joey Stefano, Rod Garretto and Danny Brown were my guys in the late 80’s
and early 90’s!
Kyle McKenna was the best S&M bottom of all time. He wasn’t a PrettyBoy but he had a beautiful, handsome face with full, pouty lips and a smooth, powerful body. He never switched roles–a total submissive/masochist who never disobeyed, never hesitated to do exactly what he was commanded. Although he performed superbly as a sex partner (frequently as the center of a GangBang and usually in bondage), he never projected lasciviousness (like the immortal Joey Stefano), and he handled pain beautifully. Even though he was the quintissential recipient of “bare bottom discipline”, I always felt that obeying orders was his basic “thing”. He never smiled. There was a strange wholesomeness and a haunting sadness about this guy, but his intense “performances” always looked spontaneous and sincere. Fortunately, he left quite a legacy for his legion of fans. Two of his many frequent Tops were Anthony Gallo & Joe Romero. A prolific director referred to Kyle as “The best butt in porn!” Unforgettable. Why don’t you have photo’s of him? He passed-away in 2000 (suicide). What a Loss…
Watching Joey in action – early in coming out – was highly educational for me. The experience, beyond turning on like never before, taught me that man to man sex, scalding hot, hungry and adventurous thorough sex as a bottom can truly be so good you just wanna stick it up your bum and then eat your cum. *Yes – I learned that from you Joey!* I learned some of my self confessed highly aclaimed secuality from You Joey! I will think of you now, every time I chow my own load.
I was coming out, looking for normal looking guys. I met Joey Stefano one chilly night in 1991 in front of Mickey’s in West Hollywood. He looked so normal that I forgot for a second I’d seen him getting fucked by Ryan Idol on screen a week before. He was dreamy. We moved in peripheral circles and had mutual friends but I never really got to know him. Last time I saw him was also at Mickey’s. He was dancing and was high as a kite, which saddened me. He looked just like he did in the Madonna “Sex” book. We should have gotten together. We could have ruined each other’s lives. I still miss him…and NOBODY was a better bottom.
joey`s pink butthole was the most beautiful, delicious thing i have ever seen.
I wish i had a chance to lick and suck that hole of his. It was so clean and yummy looking. I could taste it through the screen and just would eat eat all day long.
The way Joey could push his asshole out and in was quite a tease for me.
It was amazing how perfectly clean, pink and smooth his asshole was.
I always dream about what it would have been like to rim that pretty
boy puckered hole of his. For me, it wasn`t his cock, but his smooth,
hairless, pink asshole that drove me insane !!
I just saw a great scene where joey gets his asshloe sucked on, spit on and
thoroughly eaten by 2 hung black dudes. It was amazing how joey would push his asshole out and at the same time have his pink starfish sucked and chewed on. Amazing !! Ted cox, kevin williams and jeremy jordan are three cute dudes who
rival joey`s good looks and lean hairless body. Also they have pefectly shaved pink assholes that you could live in and eat 24 hours a day. For cuteness, Ted cox wins, but for a sweet little boycunt, i`d say jeremy jordan is every man`s dream boytoy.
Jeremy`s asshole was so tight and pink that oftentimes he struggled to take huge man cock but eventually that pussy of his opened up and he took it like a champ.
One thing i failed to mention about joey is how much he loved sucking cock. Joey could deep throat a cock like no one else in porn, male or female. He would gag, spit, choke, slurp and devour cock down his throat, much the same way his tight asshole would swallow cock with ease and beauty.
One memorable scene is in REVENGE with Jon Vincent. Jon spanks and fingers joeys asshole in this scene with lust and pleasure and joey returns the favor savoring Jon`s 9 inch thick juicy cock. Joey would also often drool over cock. Jon`s cock was too thick for joey but he managed to gag and suck on it for hours. He was the most amazing adult star of the century !!
