I confess that during the first run of Wild Wild West on TV, I was not a big fan of the show. But being a TV addict from an early age with only 4 channels to choose from, I eventually did see plenty of episodes out of sheer desperation.

I was too young to understand the camp humor of the show, and I thought the ridiculous gadgets they invented were completely plausible. I also thought the show was a serious historical re-enactment, so I kind of tuned out of the plot, too. Besides, I was too mesmerized by watching Robert Conrad’s round bubble butt in those tight spandex pants to concentrate on anything else! I didn’t know why I was staring at his ass, but that was the best part of the show for me.

It wasn’t till I was much older and started hanging out with more butch and bearish guys that I found out others shared my youthful fascination with young Robert Conrad. Perhaps I missed some of the key shirtless episodes, but from what I later learned, Robert Conrad’s hairy chest turned many a young boy gay gay gay!

Robert Conrad was quite the tight little muscular package back in the day. He’s shorter than you think, but he had a thick body and nice pelt, so I think it’s safe to say he was a celebrity muscle bear cub at one time. If you have any thoughts about early influences on your sexuality, please add it to your Muscle Bear Cub profile.
