Bottom of the ladder hot blond lies on his hack atop a leather-covered table. Three hunky muscle men take turns mounting him. As each finishes, they spin the table like a Lazy Susan, passing the blond by F loyd S klaver along to the next. This fantasy opens Falcon Studios’ new leather film, Bootstrap, and the blond is Portlander Bryan Morgan. Growing up in Montana, Morgan (he goes by just his last name) first knew he liked boys when he was 7. “Dad’s Playboys didn’t do any thing to me like they did to the neighbor kids, and the neighbor kids did more to me than Dad’s Playboys," he jokes. His earliest sexual experiences were in junior high, and although he dated girls (“I’ve definitely put in my time”), he did it with ulte rior motives (“Every one [of them] I dated because her brother was really hot”). In high school, he also discovered that he got turned on by his own exhibitionism. “Showing off was something I just did,” he says, “probably to provoke someone I thought was hot to show off as well.” In 1997, after ending a relationship in Longview, Wash., Morgan landed in Portland, where his exhibitionism propelled him forward. He had nude photographs taken with an eye toward pom and then filmed a jack-off video. But the experience was underwhelming. “When I saw it,” he says, “I completely froze up and didn’t want to do anything like that Bryan Morgan, aka Troy Moore, appears in Falcon Studios’ Bootstrap. again.

I went: ‘Oh my God. I’ve seen that before. And, oh Lord, it’s big.’ ” For the next five hours, including an hour standing around naked and shivering while waiting for power to be restored (“I was like, ‘OK, you’re definitely not getting a rise out of me now’ ”), Morgan was impaled by “some of the bigger endowed men in pom." He says: “I just grinned and beared it...I don’t even remember [it ending]. When 1 got done, I was so exhausted I passed out on the couch.” But fame comes with a price for the hand some 33-year-old, who appears in Bootstrap under the pseudonym Troy Moore. “The hard est thing about all of it,” he says wistfully, “is that 1 lost some friends after I did it.... [They] didn’t want to be associated with someone who would do pom. They’ll watch it; in fact, they’ll be the first to buy it or rent it, but they don’t want to be associated." Morgan continues: “It’s just a fantasy 1 wanted to fulfill, and I’d do it again. 1 met some amazing people along the way, and it’s a fun ride—however you want to take that.” jFl 7742 se 13th avenue portland, or 97202 out out night life ¿a 45 far, iame. not 4/noti reservations 503 • 232 • 6151 assaggiorestaurant.com S pice up Y our N ights !
