AOM Retrospectives: LUKAS RIDGESTON

All Hail "THE KING"

"Lukas Ridgeston (born 5 April 1974) is a Slovak actor and director in gay erotic movies and model in Bel Ami gay erotic magazines and books. He was born in Bratislava,then part of the former Czechoslovakia, now capital of Slovakia. Lukas Ridgeston is best known as "The King of Gay Porn" or just "The King".

Career:

His stage name originated with the editors of Freshmen magazine. (It is common practice for magazines to assign names to photos of models, rather than the studios or the models themselves.) The magazine did not want to use a name from an Eastern Bloc country and chose the name "Lucas Ridgeston" as sounding more "Ivy League". BelAmi changed the spelling to "Lukas" and both have been used ever since.

Ridgeston performed nearly exclusively as a top in his films; however, he does bottom in the films Lukas' Story 2: When Boy Meets Boy[4] and Lucky Lukas. (Lukas' Story and Lukas' Story 2 have since been combined and marketed as Lukas' Stories.)

When asked, "Do you identify as gay, straight or bi-sexual?", he replied, "I always say I am sexual"." (Wikipedia)

Back in the 1990's, when the Internet was young, Lukas became my first electronic boyfriend - a relationship that has lasted to this very day. I can still remember salivating as I downloaded pictures of Lukas. Internet speeds were so slow back then, I'd eagerly watch and wait as each of his photos would slowly crawl down the monitor screen (Dial up 28k). 

I vividly remember the first photo I saw of him. I was instantly captivated by his eyes, his smile, and his - well - everything. Once smitten, I saved every photo of him I could find. Of all the folders of models I have on my computer, the folder containing his photos have far more images than any other.

These photos are from one of my favorite photo sets of Lukas. This set is a prized possession. I call it the Green Set. I know we've all seen these many times, but every once in a while it is good to revisit such grace and beauty. He truly was and still is "The King".

Notice the shorts Lukas is wearing

The rim of the pockets and the tear on the left (his right)

These are the same shorts he wore in the video below

Here are a few more photos that I like

This first one is not the photo

That captured my heart

But it is from the same photo shoot/video
It is from the video Tender Strangers

And he just keeps getting better with age

In my opinion
Lukas RIdgeston just has to be 
one of the most handsome guys
To have ever walked the earth
WOOOOOOF!

Tender Strangers (Bel Ami 1994)

The first video made for Bel Ami, directed by George DuRoy in 1994 after leaving Falcon. 
It includes 9 solo scenes, the first of which marks the video debut of later gay porn-superstar, Lukas Ridgeston.

When you have time and want to relive the early years of Lukas on film

I suggest you watch from from the beginning to 14:08 then skip to 23:53 - 33:34
The rest of the video is just various guys masturbating

Notice the shorts Lukas is wearing in this video
They are the same ones he wore in the photo shoot above
I'm guessing the photo shoot was taken the same day as this video was filmed
