"Ain't I Seen You in the Movies?"

[Guest Bluedawg]

Unless I've gone senile (a definite possibility), it looks like 80's porn superstar Jim Bentley is advertising on rentboy and men4rentnow under the name "Ian." Either the pictures are old, or that stud has defied the ravages of time. Anyone know the truth?

I had to sort through more than 200 escorts on Rentboy before finding his ad. Next time a little hint as to which city, even if you can't post the direct link... which is:

http://www.rentboy.com/location/getrb.asp?rentboy=68047&Location=0

 

I met JB in passing in 04/04 and he was very well preserved at the time. Still, some of those photos do seem to come from his younger days in the 90s... His advertised age of 37 would be about right, but as always, you can never be sure with escort photos that they're a true representation in any case. If you really are curious or a fan and are thinking about hiring, why not e-mail him and ask him?

No, it would be about wrong.

 

He started doing porn in 1984 at the latest, so, if he was 18 (and more than likely older than that) when he started that means he is AT LEAST 41. My money is on 45 and probably older.

 

On an irrelevant side note, he and I messed around several times in the famous Chelsea Gym steamroom in the early 90's. Ah memories.....

 

And one final side note: he's one of those porn stars I'm stunned is still alive since he was a voracious bareback bottom in the early 80's. He and Calvin Klein are miracles of nature.

 

Nostalgically yours,

Good memory.

 

According to this review of his autobiography:

he started in 83 and is currently 47.

The review references his web site, http://www.jimbentleyxxx.com as well. It's a somewhat unique design to say the least.

Being slightly dyslexic, for a moment there I thought you said he started in '47 and is currently 83, at which point I thought, "He's remarkably well-preserved." :+

I have several of his old videos. If anybody is interested in having them private me and we can make arrangements to get them to you. I don't want to be paid for them. I would just like to get them to someone who might enjoy them.

Hmmm ... so he advertises "an honest 9 inches." Uh huh. x(

 

And now he's a top only. One of my favorite scenes was him bottoming for Giorgio Canali in SplashShots. }(

 

I recall seeing him in some porn produced around 2000, and he did look amazing for his age. :9

Well, to be clear, we don't know if it's actually him. It certainly wouldn't be the first time an escort found pics of an "old" pornstar and appropriated them. I'm not sure where the name "Ian" came from since it's not his real name, and if you're Jim Bentley wouldn't you want to cash in on that?

I saw him at a book signing about a year ago. TOTALLY do-able.

'Splash Shots' was one of the first gay porn movies I ever watched. A friend of mine brought the movie and I remember I was very impressed with it.

 

Aaah, good ole times ... chokin the chicken ... :+

I'm sorry, I was thinking 37 in 'escort years'...
