The vast majority of the men who founded the studios covered in this book were devoted to the worship of the male body in exactly the same way as their predecessors, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Cellini and Caravaggio. As such they are worthy representatives of what Tim Cooke called his greatest gift from God, his homosexuality, a gift that dates back to the Greeks of ancient Thebes where it was declared illegal to maintain that sex between men was not beautiful. The male body is the Earth’s most sublime splendor, as is the human voice the most exquisite musical instrument. Even Medieval churches recognized the right to portray the naked human form, simply because it had been created by the hand of God and passed on to us in the carnal envelop of his son Jesus Christ, something the American Supreme Court finally recognized in 1962 when it declared that the human body was not in itself pornographic, 2000 years after the Discus Thrower of Myron, 500 years after Michelangelo’s David. This book tells the story of the industry founded on ‘’making marvelous-looking men look their most impressive’’, as Rip Colt stated, pioneer Bob Mizer opening the way to the exquisite all-boy pornstars who have enhanced our days, brought solace to our nights, Al Parker, Darius Ferdynand, Hoyt Kogan, Ariel Vanean, Pavel Novotný, Casey Donovan, Pavel Korsakov, Johan Volny, Alex Stevens, Bill Henson, Chris Lance, Jeremy Bilding, Alex Garret, Kurt Young and scores of others
