This book is amazing! I can't believe I just found out about it quite recently. A true work of love by a remarkable individual and it deserves a Pulitzer Prize!
The films I’ve chosen in this fully-illustrated book have been instrumental in not only rescuing homosexuals from the dark ages where men were burned at the stake, the last two hung by the neck in Britain of 1835, but also freed them from the shame of self-pleasuring--the guilt of fulfilling the demands of Nature through masturbation--a double-jinx for boys who combined self-abuse with an accompanying lust for those of their own sex, the rejection of which exists to this very day in locker rooms where homosexuals are vilified by classmates if they reveal their preference for them rather than the chirping maidens in the showers next door. The first seed in the acceptance of the beauty of male-male love was sown by Bob Mizer in his 1969 film Billy Boy, a seed that developed into the oak of William Higgins’s Rapture in 1999, followed by liberating Internet, a veritable Renaissance that has led to a boy’s acceptance of himself and his sexuality. The films I have chosen have one common distinctive core, their homoeroticism, the key word in the selection of these masterpieces, some so rare they are in black and white, the directors unknown, as are the participants, but films that share the physical perfection of the union of all-boy flawless bodies, films that clearly and graphically display the exquisite beauty of the union of two virilities, ardent testosterone-driven lust that only one male can offer another.We will go behind the scenes to discover the proclivities of directors, Bel Ami’s George Duroy, for example, who had had ‘’merciless sex’’ with one of his models--‘’I did everything to him I could imagine’’--in revenge for the boy having declared his hatred of homosexuals. Or hugely-overweight William Higgins who stated, ‘’I insisted on bedding all my models’’, sending out his best-looking actors to beaches to recruit boys in exchange for a role in a film, and when that wasn’t enough, Williams expatriated himself to the Czech Republic where the boys had no scruples whatsoever about having sex for the cash that would buy motorcycles for them and gifts for their girlfriends.We will go into the backrooms with the models themselves: Casey Donovan who brought lube to shoots for cameramen and grips, knowing that sex with his partner during the day’s scene wouldn’t be enough, while Al Parker could spend hours at a pool party sucking, and had a van for his orgies, that he filled with friends and passers-be he nodded in.This nearly 400-page book is dedicated to homosexual masterpieces, led by the sextet of homoeroticism, J. Brian, Jack Deveau, Jerry Douglas, Matt Sterling, Joe Gage and William Higgins. It goes in depth into the firming itself, the men behind the cameras, the boys in front, every facet of their lives and sexuality laid bare in detail.
