This three-minute film from Leo Herrera is billed as celebrating, ‘The History and Power of Gay Sex, Fetish & Cruising’. For something with such a provocative title, it’s certainly not hardcore (although the soundtrack is pretty steamy at times), instead take us through three different situation and allowing the sex to ooze out through style and mood.
It also suggests things have gotten increasingly fetishised, going from glances and backrooms off the 50s, to full-on BDSM of today.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Leo Herrera, a NYC-based visual artist, filmmaker, writer and advocate with a focus on cataloging and presenting gay history, today announced his latest work “3 ERAS of GAY SEX in 3 Minutes” an original piece illustrating 3 generations of gay sex in three-minutes, featuring Pre-Stonewall cruising; 1970’s/80’s Leather BDS&M; and Present Day App usage, filmed in NYC and San Francisco.
‘Instead of presenting gay history as sexless or focusing solely on AIDS, the film celebrates Gay Communication in its most sensual form, through the glances, codes and technological breakthroughs that have allowed gay sex and gay communities to flourish through generations of oppression.
‘Taking us on a time machine into archetypes of Gay Sex and the unspoken communication methods of these communities, “3 ERAS of GAY SEX in 3 Minutes” informs us and a wider audience, of the rich sexual history of the modern gay male; the symbolism and power of our once ‘secret’ encounters; and a glimpse into the infrastructure of deviant gay communities that are the foundations for the modern gay civil rights movement.’

Considering that it often seems like Zac Efron rarely does anything with his shirt off, it’s almost miraculous that he manages to wear one in the first pic from the set the Baywatch movie – especially considering the amount the skin the TV show was known for showing.
