I am Fundraising for The Trevor Project this month. give.thetrevorproject.org/bumblebeef You never know what demons someone's battling. May they always know they're not going it alone.

This could be us

I love seeing all your beautiful fat cocks on this holiest of days. 🥵

Well, who was? Jack wasn’t my first, but he’s been the most persistent.

Who was your first Porn Crush: What a surprise: Jack Radcliffe

Jim @jiminsf.bsky.social was gracious enough to loan me Bear issues 1 and 2 for scanning. I never expected to see physical copies - much less hold them in my hand! Thank you, Jim. This is gay history. #gay #bear #bearmagazine #bearded #hairy

I’ve been following @copperhead999.bsky.social’s art for years. If you love bears and kink, consider chipping in!

Playgirl, April ‘79. Meet Bob Blount. He lived in New York where he did design work for department stores. Moved to Los Angeles where he’s a bartender. Likes riding his motorcycle to Palm Springs and San Francisco. You can watch him top in Joe Gage’s LA Tool And Die.

In 1982 John Matuszak was playing football for the LA Raiders, and he posed for Playgirl. He’d had a few acting roles, but was still 2 years away from playing Chunk in The Goonies. He was a proto-bear for sure. I never got into football, but I certainly admired a bunch of coaches and players! 🥵

Happy Folsom!

Like, if you really cared about masturbation, you'd buy vintage analog.

Husky started in San Francisco a few years after Bear, with the first few issues being digest sized. Issue 5, from 1992, featuring cover man D.J. You can almost see where I live in the 4th photo.

I’m at Steamworks for the twice-monthly bear event, and the music has gone Depeche Mode > Joy Division > Joan Jett > Bauhaus > The Cure, and right now it’s Nine Inch Nails. ❤️‍🔥

Before I knew the word “bear” I knew that Stephen Caffrey in Longtime Companion had my attention.

I don’t ever expect to get issues 1 and 2 - of which there were only 40 and 120 handmade copies respectively - but I do have a book which reprints the photos from those two. Can’t believe I’ve finally got these.

Very happy to add these to my collection.

A seller has started offloading 25 bankers boxes of Brush Creek archives, and I’m beside myself with what might be in there. I was able to grab a set of contact sheets containing 200 photos that Chris Nelson shot of Mike Snofield for issue 15.

You know you’ve done a good job when someone who claims to be a total top busts a load ALL OVER you just from eating his ass.

I heard from another Bear model this morning. He’s joined Bluesky, so welcome! I’ll let him introduce himself if he wants. He’s 64 and still kicking.

Cheers, December

Bear issue 50, July, 1998, featuring Jimmy. The 50th issue of Bear celebrated by printing some or all of the models in color. Jimmy here appears first in an issue that famously features Jack Radcliffe on the cover. 1/

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Here’s my cock.

John takes beautiful photos of men, many of whom are bears.
