Thankfully there was always a straight movie playing with a gay movie as I would have been too afraid to go into a gay booth. 
What was funny was when you came across a movie that was obviously shot on silent 8MM film and they had dubbed in sound and music. The people not even talking and the soundtrack going "oh yeah suck my dick" - LOL |
Few years ago, a major sex club in San Francisco, CA, (SoMa) showed a number of those 8mm movies, John mentioned above. I was quite amazed
. Mostly because, neither my buddies nor I had seen any of those in our time and day. We go back to the Betamax and VHS but the 8mm gay movies have never crossed our radars. (Somehow, the str8 ones did make it into our part of the world, but were deemed totally 'old fashioned' even then...)
Very few of the guys who belonged to our m2m sex coterie actually admitted to having any gay porn. This was a bit too risky to start with, and far too expensive in those days, for most of the college kids living on their rather meagre allowances.
The very few guys who owned the original VHS cassettes of mostly Falcon productions guarded them with their lives. They also made few illegal copies that were given to the guys whom they 'owed' something. Sure, a full-feature gay movie was a valuable asset in an age that did not know of internet, free clips, torrents, etc. The story had it that every good party, i.e. a threesome or a foursome had to start by watching one of those flicks: 'to get the guys going'. Having such an option in your video collection made you a most desirable host who usually had the first pick of the guys, and who usually controlled the play to some extent. Not a trifle thing in those days...
