The rare French gay porno Le Beau Mec (1979) was almost lost to the hands of time, only existing on grainy VHS tapes until 2024, when it was remastered using the original 16mm film. That means that everyone can relive the wild world of late '70s gay porn in France.

Le Beau Mec is about the life of Karl Forest, and it weaves together actual footage from his porn past as well as original footage taken for the film. Forest’s legacy of hotness can now be enjoyed by future generations, and can we just say, merci.

Le Beau Mec boasts the same cinematographer (François About) behind the insane, rare 1980 gay porno Equation to an Unknown. Similarly, the hardcore action here is simply unbelievable. 

Karl Forest exposes every inch of himself in these sex scenes, going so far as to check out his own asshole in the mirror while jerking off, cumming on a motorcycle helmet, and — of course — breeding like there’s no tomorrow.

We highly recommend that you check out all of the extremely NSFW scenes HERE. Warning: Viewer secretion is advised.
