Edu Boxer’s recent comeback started me thinking about the first instalment of this stunning Spanish stud’s career in porn. One of his best known early appearances is in Colt’s Big n’ Plenty, where he’s matched with hairy, tattooed Sam Shadon and stunning Latin bodybuilder Dave Angelo.
In the porn world, ‘comeback’ has come to denote the reappearance of models who have spent months – weeks even – in early retirement. Sometimes we didn’t even know they’d been away. This one’s for real though. Edu Boxer was at the top of the porn league table for several years, from his early days as a fresh-faced Colt pin-up, through numerous pairings with then-boyfriend Manu Maltes. It was in the mid to late 2000s that his time as a regular tailed off.
My Men at Play subscription ran out about a week ago. Luckily, before it did, I took the chance to raid their back catalogue and watch as many suit-sex videos as I could cram into my poor, porn-saturated brain.
I’ve always loved the way Men at Play manage to make their photography look like an upmarket fashion brand. It’s a clever idea and it still looks fresh after more than 10 years of doing the same thing. It’s like a dry spoof on the fantasy corporate world presented by men’s fashion ads, with its immaculately styled execs and imaginary board meetings.
This isn’t strictly a top 10 – more a list of 10 good ones. I’ve tried to pick from an even spread of years, singling out their most distinctive ideas. But if there’s one thing they’ve got in common, it’s that they’re all hot ones.
