Description: Fred Halsted, dick in hand, narrates this survey of gay pornography, starting with the Apollo "physique" magazines which eventually evolved into 8mm loop films.
"Posing" star Ed Fury, in Day of Fury, is shown, and is perhaps the very first gay movie. Other early magazine stars include men from the Athletic Model Guild, Gary Conway, Glen Corbet and Stanley Jackson. The first totally nude model (tattooed and boy-next-door type Monty Hanson, posed in languidly provocative positions without an erection), the first cum shot, and other firsts are presented. A barrage of fuck and suck scenes is offered to the viewer, too, commemorating the landmark mid-1960’s Supreme Court decision that granted First Amendment protection to sexually explicit material (and thus opened the floodgates).
Discussions and footage include: Pat Rocco’s films at the Park Theater in Los Angeles, a softcore award-winning film called Yes, a signature release called One, A Study of the Teenage Masturbation Syndrome, a long scene from Tom DeSimone’s Assault, the first feature -length gay film (called The Collection), the pool table sequence from Duffy’s Tavern, the 1972 movie that broke world-wide acclaim (Boys in the Sand by Wakefield Poole and starring Casey Donovan), shots from Halsted’s LA Plays Itself, and footage from films like Bolero.
