Send us a text The early days of making porn films were a grey zone which was very vast and unexplored. You could tell a story while making a hardcore film. In 1974 legendary filmmaker Toby Ross made his first film. Chances are… you’ve never heard of him. But he was filming gay stories when Hollywood didn’t even acknowledge we existed. Ross was known for playful, sexy films—but there is one film in his collection that is something else entirely. Part art film, part psychodrama, part vintage p...

Arthur J. Bressan's gay erotic feature film, Passing Strangers, was a departure from the gay erotic film genre and is one of the first notable examples of his unique tendency to integrate erotic sequences into conventional queer narrative...

If there was ever a superstar that is well-known, much loved and remembered today from the golden g...

Send us a text Described as gay Louis B. Mayer, the big producer during the golden age of Hollywood, Shan Sayles was a big, boisterous man who owned movie theaters, produced films and cemented his mark on the early days of all erotic film. It was a legendary production at the time of its release. Both for its subject matter and the various rumors and circumstances that surround the production. A beautifully chiseled body, gorgeous face and that damn mustache. A one-named wonder of gay ...

Send us a text Apollo Fates is one of gay adult entertainment's stars who in my opinion is still bubbling under; his talents and work are very well received and definitely noticed but I still think it is scratching under the surface. I first saw Apollo perform in a couple of scenes for Vision X Studios and knew the next time I find myself in L.A., I'd have to try and work with him. We did and it was lovely! During a recent visit to New York City, I was able to sit down and get to know Apollo...
Send us a text In his 40-year career, William Higgins, built a catalogue of over 3,000 films and is considered by many of his peers as one of the most influential and beloved gay porn directors of all time.

Send us a text The late 1970s were an representational awakening for homosexual men. They began to embrace a new vision of themselves as hyper masculine. The rise of the clone look and of bars that catered to them helped push forward this new gay masculinity, but porn took it to the rest of the country and the man who bridged the old world of the closeted straight man and the new gay masculine sexuality was filmmaker Joe Gage. The Road movie as a cinematic genre emerged aft...
Send us a text It’s 1971 and you’re at a Groovy Guy Contest. There, you set your eyes on Jimmy Hughes. Hughes would go on to win the contest and become a sought after model during the early part of the 1970’s before being entangled in rape and kidnapping charges that would landed him in jail in 1974. When a feature film becomes a massive box office hit, it has the capacity of shifting the cultural landscape, putting its finger on the pulse of the day and age. And it will almost inevitably as...
