As for the "penetration" question, I am almost sure that I read somewhere that Tom Ropes' videos were bondage only due to fear of the government shutting them down for the combination of bondage/fucking/"rape"/etc. It is a shame as many hot bondage bottoms appeared in his films through the years. The most action that I ever saw was some "rough-housing", spanking, tit play and I think oral sex every now and then.. Whatever the case, Mikey always did it for me - but this discovery makes him even more interesting ;)

Well someone's not crediting someone.

Gay Porn Blog (and it was picked up from there by Fleshbot) posted this "news" on the 11th (after it was posted here on the 10th, shortly after midnight by Patek), using some of the same images and links as listed here, but no credit given . . .

BTW, for those who care, one of the comments on GPB disagrees with the ink analysis. I have to say I don't think the tats on the left shoulder/bicep are totally convincing, but it's hard to say from the angle.

His partner in the bondage clip (no pun intended) looks like Chris MacKenzie, who has been out of porn for at least 10 years. If that's the case the clip is probably too old for it to be Mikey V.

He was voted off. Think it had any thing to do with his past?

Why is it so difficult to believe that it's him? It's him. You can believe what your eyes tell you. I see why juries let people get away with shit even when it's on video. We really live in a backwards world where people can't conceive that a guy who's on a tv show (and most likely an exhibitionist anyway) is in a bondage video, but that same person will believe that a video he saw of talking cat is authentic. It's like people have a hard time trusting their own intelligence these days.

"Rope Rituals" has a copyright date of 1997.

Seeing Mikey this season I wouldn't have thought he's that old, but maybe he's just aged well!

for someone who's spent some time in front of a camera, he looked a bit uncomfortable during the hosting part. he needed to rip off his shirt.

i loved his little comment about how tall carter was. i'm sure he'd love for carter to pick him up, put him on that table and pound the shit out of him.

i don't think his elimination had anything to do with his past. his hosting was pretty weak.

fds - Thanks for having my back! LOL Yeah, it seems that lots of bloggers have claimed the story as their own by now. No sweat..

I'm not sure how anyone could be confused as to whether or not this is him - ink or no ink.. He is a very distinctive looking man - very obvious to me anyway. As for age, he is now 34 yoa. I would guess that he very much appeared to be in his early 20's in "Rope Rituals". Age makes sense too.

Too funy about his reaction to Carter last night. I could just see Mikey itch'n to get worked over long and hard by the hunky "tall" carpenter.. ;)

I think he looks about 10 years older now than he did in the porn film, which is about right. Of course, the buzz cut makes him look older too - (covering for hair loss, perhaps).

Patek, they did the same thing when we "broke the story" of what's his face (I don't say his name anymore to avoid giving the media whore any more publicity)pornstar/escort/whore being in the military and being anti gay and being in bed (figuratively speaking of course) with the conservative right wing. Isn't it funny though how you can do something that has the potential to go national?
