[members - click here] I've been an FOGB for years... what... you don't know what an FOGB is...? It stands for 'Fan of GagBear'... which I've been. Actually, I've been an FOGB for well over a decade... drooling over GagBears' photos and videos that he's produced.

His name is Jim Grrowl yet he's better known as GagBear. I first came across his pictures online back in '95 or so on this wicked site called 'Big Ad'. Now Big Ad was first a magazine with ads from Bears and Chubs, and they were one of the very 1st companies to try and market their product online. They had a great site which they updated every so often with photos of cute guys that were in their mag. Unfortunately the site, as well as the magazine, went defunct (reasons unknown), however I did copy/pasted those photos of Jim GagBear and kept them on my hard drive because these pics were some of the very first 'Bear bondage' photos that I saw on the net.

It wasn't until '02 (7 years later) when I came across more of Jim GagBear's material. This time he was working with a couple of guys who made a few videos under the company name 'Realman Kink Video'. I contacted Jim for the 1st time and he turned out to be one of the nicest and coolest guys I spoke to online. I asked him if he was the same guy from the Big Ad spread, and he said he was, and that's when my admiration for this man began.

At the time I was working on Bear-Pics so I helped him promote their videos, yet the company didn't last long and they ceased production. However GagBear went on to a spread in Beef Mag, photo shoots for BearBound, and lately he has been making his own videos which you can purchase from his site BD Bear Studios.

GagBear has sent me many photos which I used to have up on Bear-Pics and I decided to bring them over to the PlanetBears Galleries. You can see them here (there's just over 200 photos). On a personal note: I've always hoped to work with him on a photo shoot, and we were supposed to meet up at one point in '02, however his schedule didn't permit it, and since he's 3000 miles away... well... sometimes things aren't all that easy to organize. For now, I'll just have to admire GagBear like the rest of y'all; thru the pics he puts out on the net, and thank Heaven for that.
