Does the name Chad Douglas ring a bell? He was a prominent figure in gay pornography during the 1980s, known for his masculine presence and physical attributes.
Born Martin Cox in Puerto Rico in March 1957, Chad Douglas was a gay porn model and actor in the mid-1980s.
Standing at five feet ten inches, he was known for his classically handsome features, hairy chest, and tattoos. His most distinguishing feature was a very large penis, reportedly 11 inches long.
Masculine, mustachioed, hairy-chested, tattooed, handsome, and probably in his 30s when he was making porn, he tended to play domineering daddy-type roles in his videos, usually having his way with one of two of the young, wispy blonds who were the standard fixtures of gay porn at the time.
Career and On-Screen Persona
Chad Douglas was active in the industry from 1987 to 1990. He was an exclusive "top" in every one of his films, and may never have even so much as sucked another penis on film.

He was always a top. The standard scenes for him were the ones involving him and some sweet looking younger, blonde guy, whose ass would be at the receiving end of Chad’s thick cock.
Many of Douglas' videos were made by Falcon Studios, then and now the gold standard for "vanilla" gay porn with good-to-excellent production values. However, Douglas' performances were anything but vanilla. He was an athletic performer -- placing his partners in every conceivable position, including holding them in the air, during intercourse. He vigorously and relentlessly dominated his partners.
One of his notable works includes the 20th-anniversary edition of the movie Big Guns, which won the Adam Film World Gay Movie of the Year award in 1988. The film, produced by Laguna Pacific, co-starred Kevin Wiles.
We are in William Higgins country now so expect moustached hunks and hard bodies, real man-on-man sex and no holes barred.
The Man Behind the Screen
Interestingly, there are stories that reveal a different side of Chad Douglas. ‘The late Scott O’Hara recounted an amusing story about Chad Douglas in his book “Autopornography”. It seems that Chad wasn’t by nature a tough guy.

To the contrary of the butch Papi he played in his porn films, amongst those who knew him personally, he had a reputation for being a talented bottom who could and would easily sit on dildos equal or greater in stature than his own enormous penis. It might surprise some to know that he was also very adept with a pair of shears and sitting for a haircut with Chad Douglas was always entertaining.
An article from Vice Magazine recounted a story of a person who had Chad Douglas as a babysitter. Chad is described as being ‘sweet and cool and wonderful’ and this little story gives us a glimpse of the man behind the porn shoot; a caring, uncle figure.

Transition in the Industry and Rumors of Demise
Douglas came along just as gay porn transitioned from movies shot on film and played in XXX theaters to movies shot on video for the home market. At the time Chad was working the porn industry was going through a change. Movies were previously shot on film and made for cinemas (the XXX variety), in Chad’s day things were changing and video was starting to be used, making the movies more accessible for a home entertainment market.
He also made all of his videos before condom usage became the standard, so all of his work is condom-less.
Having disappeared from the scene after the late 1980s, Douglas is believed to have died in obscurity of HIV/AIDS, the first of many XXX stars to contract the diease and die before condom awareness was an established standard of the porn industry.

Chad Douglas was rumored to have died in 1999. Was that the reason then that I found a reference to his death, from AIDS, in 1999?
I tried to check out what had happened to him and found another reference, from a fan on a blog site, saying that those rumours were false and he was still alive in 2004. Checking some more I found the same rumours persisted.
However, conflicting reports exist. Some sources suggest he died of HIV/AIDS in 1999, while others claim he was still alive in 2004.
Whether still alive or not, the work of this friendly uncle type guy who made hard porn still lives on. Check some titles at cduniverse.com where nine of Chad’s movies are currently available.
