Striptease and Gold Diggers, two of Jay Anthony's best flicks from All Worlds Video. Austin can be seen in, among others, the award winning Naked Highway and Beverly Hills Hustlers both from BIG Video.

Hugely hung (we're talking 10") Mark Jennings can be seen in Jocks' Winners and Laguna Pacific's Frat House Memories. Check out the dynamic duo of Leo and Lance in Laguna Pacific's Leo & Lance. Dark haired dirty talker Brian Michaels did some great work in Falcon's The Bigger The Better and in Huge Video's A Matter Of Size. Brian Hawks was in Jocks' very first video Ramcharger as well as The Bigger The Better and Falcon's Spokes among many other videos.

Chad Knight (above) has appeared in nearly every video made since the turn of the decade. Check out his last video since he announced his retirement, Jaguar's Pleasure Principle. For more of his videos, get thee to a search engine and look him up. He's performed in many, many videos. Kevin Williams has his own best-of video, Catalina's The Best of Kevin Williams and is also quite fine in the William Higgins' award-winner, Big Guns. (Watch for an upcoming Falcon video to witness Williams return to porn.)

The man with those piercing eyes (and amazing cum shots), Lukas Ridgeston, has his own series of films, all with the Lukas' Story title. Sex maniac Dano Sulik (pictured left) is another European overachiever, having appeared in a wealth of porn, including Bel Ami's Accidental Lovers. Johan Paulik most recently showed up in An American In Prague.

Tall, blond, Jeff White does some of his best acting (and performing) in Studio 2000's Grease Guns 2 and Tail Spin. Adonis-come-to-life Jeremy Penn (another real-life professional model) can be seen working it in a number of Falcon films, including The Freshman and his swan song film, Current Affairs.

And we can't forget the Backstreet Boys All Access Video.

Whereas someone like Austin--pictured top and lower right--(aka Austin Ashley) certainly has the look going for him--he's blond, youthful and looks like a decent fellow. That, paired with the fact that he has professionally modeled--he's appeared on the cover of at least one teen magazine--only lends to his twink status.

Why is this twink status so appealing? It's the fact that on the surface, these men (boy bands, Anthony or Austin) don't appear to be individuals who would, or for that matter *should*, know that much about sex or how to be erotic. Their youth fools the viewer into thinking that because of their age, they couldn't possibly be lustful or prurient. That is what is so engaging about these men. It's the?obvious irony that is present in the equation that is so inviting.

It's not as if this twink phenomenon is something new in porn. Take nearly any Mark Reynolds film from the early '80s. The director discovered a string of porn stars: Mark Jennings (aka Danny Parks) Buster, Kip Noll, Scott Noll and so forth; all were the epitome of twinkdom. William Higgins became known for his eye for twinky men as well. Brian Michaels (aka Bobby Madison), Leo Ford and Lance--among others--all appeared in his films. Other men, like blond Brian Hawks (aka Shawn McIvan), began the '80s while superstars Chad Knight and Kevin Williams closed out the decade. In the '90s, imported twinks were all the rage. George Duroy, of Bel Ami fame, brought European men like Lukas Ridgeston, Johan Paulik and Dano Sulik to gay porn. Most recently, men like Falcon exclusive Jeremy Penn and Studio 2000 find Jeff White (below) continued the tradition.

While trends in gay porn shift seemingly every year or so, one thing remains a constant: A twink is a twink, no matter what the era. Jay Anthony would have been a star with William Higgins back in the day, just as Mark Jennings would have had a successful career in the '90s. As long as societal norms tell us that a young looking person should not, nor could not, know about sex, then the twink will always exist. For a twink is in direct oppostion of that norm and because it is a contradiction, and thus a taboo, it is incredibly appealing to you, the audience.
