Throughout the world, the name Bel Ami stands for a masculine ideal of uninhibited youth and virility. When George Duroy founded the studio in the early 1990s as a labor of love, he set new standards for gay erotica. Since then, hundreds of young men have come to symbolize the classic “Bel Ami boys.” 101 of them are collected in this book celebrating more than 30 years of the studio’s history, including such Bel Ami legends as Kris Evans, Jack Harrer, Dolph Lambert, Mick Lovell and Kevin Warhol. They personify exactly what Duroy aimed for from the very start: seduction.
