In this Season 5 prologue of DGP, we explore how VHS technology, the AIDS crisis, and a new generation of filmmakers and stars transformed gay adult cinema from underground entertainment into a powerful form of visibility, identity, and survival. This is the first part of the story of the 1980s gay porn revolution — the people, the films, and the moment that reshaped the industry.

S5E2: The David SF Interview

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/450796/fan_mail/new] David SF, also known as David Wichman is an award-winning author whose work is shaped by nearly two decades as a sex worker—bringing a rare, unfiltered perspective to conversations around desire, intimacy, and shame. His writing doesn’t sanitize the experience; rather it leans into it. In his new book, The Four Rooms, David invites readers to explore sexual freedom and self-acceptance by confronting the parts of themselves they’ve been taught to hide. I've been following David for years after working with him in 2018. When I saw he released this book and we would be at the same place, at the same time, I reached out to reconnect. In our interview, he speaks candidly about that journey—what he’s lived, what he’s learned, and what most people still aren’t willing to say out loud. Enjoy!

S4E39: Toby Ross | Do Me Evil | Bill Eld

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/450796/fan_mail/new] The early days of making porn films were a grey zone which was very vast and unexplored. You could tell a story while making a hardcore film. In 1974 legendary filmmaker Toby Ross made his first film. Chances are… you’ve never heard of him. But he was filming gay stories when Hollywood didn’t even acknowledge we existed. Ross was known for playful, sexy films—but there is one film in his collection that is something else entirely. Part art film, part psychodrama, part vintage porno.  Big Bill Eld, was only in a handful of titles during the golden age of gay erotica but his unforgettable image and legacy has endured the test of time.  On this episode we are going to celebrate the strange, bold, kinda beautiful world of Toby Ross, a prolific visual storyteller who was one of the first of his kind on the west coast making thought provoking and innovative gay porn films with full-on plots, characters, even comedy. We will explore one of the most slept-on films in gay erotic film history Do Me Evil. This isn't your typical vintage gay adult film. It’s a fever dream, a noir, a psycho-sexual puzzle, and yes — it still has plenty of skin.  And we are going to celebrate Bill Eld, a star whose career began as big as his well..and faded into obscurity just quick.  Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/demystifyinggayporn]
