Charles (Dera) in Charge

OK, we'll admit to reading Playgirl every now and then—not because we're particularly into softcore porn and soft willies, but to get a preview of the next crop of gay porn stars. Charles Dera is a rough and ready former Marine who's just been voted Playgirl's "Man of the Year", and the copy on the Playgirl website promises us the story of "how he lost his virginity before enlisting and his affinity for sex in cars." Turns out that Charles also has an affinity for frolicking with other "straight" boys in, uh, "exercise videos"—"Underwear Undercovered" is a sort of "Boys Gone Wild" for tighty-whitey models ("This frisky pack poses together in a series of fun, fully naked group shots. Between takes these uninhibited guys even 'fluff' for the camera.") Sounds pretty straight, doesn't it?-RM
