Having been invited I'll 'spend a penny', too. I have no authoritative
comments, but my gut feeling about this lad has been 'Portuguese'. The
idea that someone has changed his eye color is hard to swallow, since in
all the pictures I can remember, they are blue. One sees pale blue eyes
with dark hair all over the Mediterranean, which probably says more
about the history of invaders than anything else. His hair seems to be
quite coarse and heavy, and that suggests Portugal to me. I have
traveled through most of the regions mentioned (except Corsica) and
strange as it may seem, have noticed the characteristics of boys from
place to place. Many, possible most, French boys have dark hair and
blue eyes, but there are subtle differences. The backgrounds have not
been helpful, and I haven't seen a video with a sound track yet. Of
Portuguese boys I have known (not many, admittedly), most spoke French,
too. My opinion is just that, an opinion.
As for JEN, I remember the first issue I found at a news dealer at
hidden inside another, devouring the images. At that time pictures of
naked boys were pretty rare. The magazine 'Jeunes et Naturales' was
also published in England as 'Young & Natural' and in German as 'Frei
There was also a Canadian edition published in Quebec. As far as I now
remember, they were of identical content. In the late 90s, scans of
complete issues of JeN, as well as the others, were commonly posted. I
may still have a set on old ZIP disks.
The dating suggested for the Oliver/Julian photos may off quite a bit,
because photos published in the 1990s may have been taken 10 years or
more before. Very little material of that kind is published in 'real
time'.
The work of Pojkart, van Houten and Gerd Berendt seems to have been
acquired by Azov Films (whether Azov is paying royalties is another
question), which suggests the original makers are no longer in business.
I walked out to the address he used, found a nice looking house, and no
one home (possibly no one answering). Even then I had the idea that the
films had been made several years before, based mostly upon the media
had seen at that time, and converted to video at a time when
contemporary videos were shot directly to VHS. So trying to guess
Oliver/Julian's age is speculative at best. The discussion reminds me
the real guys step up and convincingly identify themselves.
