The Lost

I never said I couldn’t find sex in the 50′s and certainly not in the 60′s There were a few bars and plenty of hustlers, as well as casual encounters and old-fashioned romances even in the 40′s. I was referring to public and commercial gay material; films, novels, photos, etc. They were around, of course, but they weren’t above the counter in every bookstore and news stand. Especially in the early and mid 50′s. If you Google gay films made in the 50′s, you’ll find there were very few, especially compared to from the 60′s on. And even in the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s and 90′s there was nothing like the hundreds of short gay films from all over the world available for anybody from Mud Puddle, Mississippi to watch on their computer. And there certainly weren’t the thousands of young guys performing at home in front of their computers, I assume believing they are only being seen by some girl on the other side of the screen. Perhaps the above film wasn’t meant to be gay, as someone else pointed out, but it was certainly a treat for these queer old eyes. I just thought some young people might not realize this stuff hasn’t always been available to everyone.
