Cycle Studs

The modern age of gay porn arrived for real in 1970, the year after the Stonewall Riots launched the political gay liberation movement. Companies like Le Salon and Bijou popped up, making grainy and amateurish film loops showing naked men sucking and fucking. The honour of being the first commercially released gay hardcore film seems to belong to Le Salon's Cycle Studs: the gay equivalent of Birth of a Nation.
