Different time, I'm thinking particularly the young blades David Perry and Richard Lengin. Perry was handsome, Lengin not so much, but distinctive looking enough to be easily recognised. I reckon he was possibly a nephew or something of Jean-Pierre Armand as they resembled each other in the face. Both Perry & Lengin had nice athletic physiques & oozed confidence. They managed, between 1995 & 2002 to have practically every starlet that went through the doors of DBM, Private, & are in practically all Silwa shoots of that period. And remember the beauty of Czech & Hungarian (particularly the latter) who saw porn as a respectable option has never been replicated, due to economic & social reasons. So these guys really were given the keys to the citadel.
Now this is my point. Many beautiful women who'd never have dreamt being in porn, particularly in France & Germany would've been aware of these guys through their husbands, or boyfriends, or brothers viewing habits.
How often a beautiful wealthy or professional woman would likely have walked up to these guys at the airport & slipped their phone numbers into their hands? (I think mobiles had broken through by then?). And these beautiful 'respectable' ladies would have seen these guys as the definitive object to transfer all their 'unspoken' lust upon. It might be a bit similar right now in the USA for Marcus Dupree come to think of it due to Tushy fame.
But the 1995-2002 guys? They were literally given the key to entire Czech Republic & Hungarys finest for about 5 years - and then to have this additional potential bonus that I mention? Must've been some life. And remember there was only a handful of them that really seemed to be in every scene between them. Wow.
You certainly couldn't say the same about 'Tamed teens' / 'Allinternal' Raul Christian etc stuff from 2005-2010 as the male actors faces were never really in view, probably due to lack of story plots in 'gonzo' stuff.
