Forbidden Letters 1976 Watch Online – 12 Classic Gay Adult Movies Everyone Should See An odyssey of classic gay erotica, from Arthur J. Bressan, Jr.’s “Passing Strangers” to Wakefield Poole’s “Boys in the Sand”

At some point during the quarantine, a well-curated adult entertainment website approached me and offered access to peruse their extensive catalogue. Perhaps there are those who would dismiss or scoff at the opportunity. I dove.

I didn’t just watch porn all summer, of course, but I did watch more porn than usual. I also worked seemingly 24/7 from home, trying to keep up with the global tide of conflict and disruption. I mourned a death in the family along with the deaths of many I did not know. I masked and distanced myself, marched and protested, hiked through a forest and lay down on a beach.

They Know Everything We Do”

The journey through the virtual video aisles of the PinkLabelTV streaming platform began with a message from Jenni Olson, filmmaker, film historian and co-director of the Bressan project. Olson and the Bressan Project have worked for several years to restore the films of seminal gay filmmaker Arthur J. Bressan, Jr., including his seminal 1978 documentary

Bressan himself succumbed to complications related to AIDS in 1987, after a prolific period that saw the New York native direct ten films in a decade. Two of you,

, representing the action-driven gay male eroticism for which Bressan is better known, are the latest of his films to be restored by the Bressan Project. Both will be available exclusively on PinkLabelTV from August, either via streaming on demand or with a PinkLabelTV PLUS subscription.

Founded in 2013 by queer feminist producer and director Shine Louise Houston, the PinkLabel platform is a treasure trove of indie adult entertainment, with diverse titles grouped into multiple engaging channels. Virtually all genders and tastes are celebrated in a collection that spans decades, right through to some brand new releases. However, lured by the men, vibe and attitude of the sexually liberated ’70s and ’80s, I stuck with the PinkLabelTV Classics, billed as “vintage adult movies from the silver and golden ages of porn.” Bressan’s work was a highlight of my journey through time, but

, one of the few sexually explicit gay indies of the ’70s, with a grainy scene of straight sex – was apparently played on screen in a porn theater. Bressan portrays the projectionist who runs the flick and proceeds to wreck him for a good laugh and rant about what is considered standard in the XXX industry. “Washed colors, crappy prints, lousy soundtracks.” The rant makes for a smooth setup

To exceed that standard, which it does as a piece of filmmaking and same-sex romance that happens to feature copious amounts of nudity, anal, oral, and orgasms.

Set in brilliant black and white, the film follows disheveled 18-year-old Robert (Robert Adams) and 28-year-old Tom (Robert Carnagey) through the streets of San Francisco. College student Robert slowly steps out of the proverbial closet and ducks into an adult magazine store outfitted with private, curtained movie booths. Alone at his parents’ house, he dreams of being the center of a hilarious sex party and escaping alone, surrounded by his admirers. Meanwhile, Tom cruises Polk Street in the Castro, hopping between the bars and the baths, including the city’s legendary gay bar, The Stud, in its original location. (During the current pandemic, the stud farm has indeed been closed, possibly forever.) Real-life filming locations, many gone but not forgotten, underscore the value of these old erotic films as multi-faceted records of queer life, history, and culture.

, the two court each other through letters (voiced by other actors – Edward Guthmann as Tom and Bob Middleton as Robert). When they finally meet face to face, the film shifts to beautifully restored color and captures their romance developing into outdoor sex on Angel Island overlooking the bay. Though Adams and Carnagey are avid performers, Adams tends to have a pained expression when he’s not in the midst of hardcore ecstasy. Their chemistry is sweet rather than glitzy.

Still, the film delivers on the implied promise of the opening scene’s harsh criticism, delivering rich color and strong composition. The dynamic soundtrack shifts from Moog synths to sex scenes to groovy guitar rock and composer Jeff Olmstead’s keyboard score as the couple pedal through a sunny Sunday Monday. And the voice actors, including Jerry Johnson as projectionist, who Bressan plays on screen, are at least as expressive as Adams and Carnagey.

To the film’s credit, as opposed to idealized porn stars, the main actors are two regular guys looking for love. Their romance is understandable, even if it’s now overshadowed by the glow of early ’70s nostalgia. Indeed, the story and expression of the era come together beautifully near the film’s finale, when the lovebirds march in the actual 1974 Gay Freedom Day Parade. In the end, love and sex, and pride and celebration, go hand in hand.

Originally paved the way from art-house cinemas to its international premiere at the 1980 Berlin Film Festival. Rawr sexual than

, the film is fueled by a more exciting and engaging premise. Again dancing between black and white and color film, Bresson tells the story of separated lovers Larry (

The Mexican Press And Civil Society, 1940 1976 By Sala De Prensa

Star Robert Adams) and Richard (Richard Locke), poised to reunite once mustachioed daddy Richard is released from prison. To this day, Larry doesn’t sit idly by waiting for his man to come home, instead calming his worries with a series of dates, anonymous encounters, flashbacks, and fantasies.

Adams delivers another deadpan performance, although Bressan sidesteps the actor’s limitations by handing over most of the on-screen dialogue to costar Victoria Young and playing the couple’s friend Iris, a lucky tarot-reading hooker. Iris advises grumpy young Larry to “get out, go on a cruise, go to the movies, do something kinky. Watch a porn movie, get hot, have a quaalude, snoop around.” Like a Warhol superstar but sober, Young adds humor and playfulness, counteracting the serious folk-pop melodies that linger over the Man-on-man action lying. The film depicts Larry and Richard’s idyllic life outside of prison through an impressive sequence of still images, also set to serious folk-pop. The only major musical distraction from the ersatz John Denver sound comes with a trip to the crowded Disco Cabaret on a glittering Halloween night.

But despite all the parties, lovemaking, dates, solos and threesomes, the prevailing atmosphere is purely romantic. Adams and Locke generate spurts of heat, but their sex scenes are stiff and awkward. Rather, the loving bond between the characters makes a stronger impression than the hardcore action. As Larry writes to his mistress in prison – in letters he is reluctant to send lest he out Richard as gay – he had been looking for that special touch in a man to fill a hole in his life. He found that special sense of belonging with Richard, a bliss of “love, laughter, crashing waves and sunsets.” And not even prison could tear them apart.

), a film banned in France after its release and censored in the United States and elsewhere. Two prisoners in adjacent cells communicate with each other by knocking on the wall between them. The barrier trembles at her longing touch. They pass cigarette smoke from mouth to mouth with a straw through a tiny hole in the wall. The sensuality is almost palpable, enhanced by the lack of sound or dialogue.

Simmers with sexual tension, fueled by the caged would-be lovers and the jailer who enjoys peering in at them in various states of undress and arousal. While subtle enough to properly capture the imagination, Genet’s film is strikingly explicit for a 1950 release. The security guard enjoys a peep show of dancing hard-ons, free in his fantasies of getting his way with whoever he pleases, his obsession betraying a unique desire for control. If he approaches an object of desire, he doesn’t bring cigarettes or flowers with him, but a pistol. Power and menace are all he offers, a scathing portrait of authority in the face of prisoners’ quest for freedom and companionship.

, to the golden 70’s beaches of Fire Island, it’s just a short step across oceans of time and space to reach them

The most influential gay adult film of all time. Writer-director (and former professional dancer-choreographer) Wakefield Poole’s triptych of hardcore sexual hoopla, starring blonde hunk Casey Donovan, makes excellent use of the natural and architectural beauty that marks the island as a few unpaved miles of gay paradise.

The visual harmony carries over to the camerawork and editing, aided by layers of sound design that transport viewers onto the hot strip of sand and pine where Donovan turns wherever another macho stranger aspires to take him to handle. Donovan, a leading man in the vein of Robert Redford, emerges first from the bay, a nameless, voiceless hero wearing nothing but a stainless steel cock ring. As the film’s universal pleasure object, it may not seduce viewers as universally, but it exudes undeniable sex appeal. Some people just do it, and Donovan brings to the table an indescribable quality that has noticeably inspired his partners and clearly helped inspire Poole to create this true landmark of queer cinema.
