Gay Sex in the 70s
Trace the history of 'innocent' pre-AIDS public sex through Stonewall, to the rise of gay culture as we know it today in this documentary consisting of photos of old haunts, interviews with the men who inhabited them and footage of the hedonistic goings-on of the day. Incorporating politics with anecdotes of men cruising the piers, fornicating in the backs of trucks, and attending discos, bathhouses, and S&M clubs, the film is entertaining and educational.
