Buck & Rex

Buck Hayes, also known as Rex Morgan, was a notable figure in the world of male erotica and photography, celebrated for his rugged appearance and captivating persona. His photo shoot for Colt magazine is from 1986. Hayes worked extensively with renowned photographers of the time, such as Bruce of Los Angeles and Bob Mizer of the Athletic Model Guild (AMG), who captured his physique in both artistic and erotic contexts. As “Rex Morgan,” he often portrayed the archetypal rugged man—sometimes embodying cowboy, biker, or military themes—which aligned with the era’s fascination with hyper-masculine identities. The duality of his names, Buck Hayes and Rex Morgan, allowed him to navigate the worlds of mainstream physique modeling and more underground erotic imagery, embodying different aspects of masculinity.
