I’m one of those people who didn’t get it. My expectations some 40 years ago were way off – after all, I first saw Fred Halsted’s L.A. Plays Itself at the Nob Hill, not at some highfalutin Art Film Institute. Even if the setting had been appropriate, I probably wouldn’t have dug the flick....
Joe Gage is not his real name, of course. But it became real. Gage has explained, “When the Tim Kincaid side didn’t happen the way the Joe Gage side did, I just went back to concentrating on the Joe Gage side.” That was the side that made Kansas City Trucking Co...
Among the many festivities leading up to the Folsom Street Fair was the 6th Annual IXFF. That unpronounceable acronym translates as Indie Erotic Film Festival. It was presented by Good Vibrations, and I was able to be at three of this year’s five events. I spent a fascinating evening with Susie Bright, was somewhat...
It’s often said that the past can rise up and bite you on the ass. That’s nothing. In the two volumes of Vintage Bareback – Underground Kink, it rises up to shove right in our asses electrified rods, zucchini, Jalapeno peppers, green olives and, almost prosaically after those rarefied items, fists.

It’s the annual Good Vibrations Indie Erotic Film Festival, which in the middle of September concluded its fifth year at the Castro Theatre with a clutch of independently made hetero films. For the first...

Several weeks ago, I gently criticized Jeffrey Escoffier for reporting in his history of porn, Bigger Than Life, that Bob Mizer’s mother knitted posing pouches for his models at AMG. I’ve never seen a knitted pouch, I scoffed. Sure enough, soon as my words hit paper, my eyes landed right in a patch of...
So many people have for so long been telling me I’ve simply got to write a history of porn that I’m truly relieved that Jeffrey Escoffier has done it and gotten me off the hook. Escoffier has written books on gay sexuality, politics, history, music and dance. He has written for the book review...
Remember when fucking wasn’t condomed, and a lip-smacking mouthful of cum was the goal and reward of gay sex? When hairdos went smoothly down, not spiky up? When mustaches, not goatees, were de rigueur? Remember when testicles had hair on them? Then you were around and watching adult movies in the early 1980s. Bijou...
