TIM's Fuck Off Homo Resurrects the Orgy

Treasure Island Media's recent release 'Fuck Off Homo' lives up to that studio's reputation for superb production values, interesting match ups with established pornstars and new meat, and covering all the bases with daddies, pups, preppies, raunch, all familiar yet fresh.  What really connected with me, however, was the group scene defined as a '10 Man Orgy,' because director Max Sohl, either by design or inadvertently, recreated what was the standard means of barebacking during the early Condom Era...the no holes barred orgy.

Those of us who are of a certain age, recall the late 1990's as a transitional era when enough gay men were just beginning to reinvent their sex lives.  Bars and clubs as hook up venues had suffered greatly during the age of AIDS, and lest we forget, all the bath houses in San Francisco had been shut down completely (they still are!).  But at the same time, the internet was establishing itself as the primary means of communication.  In the beginning, there were the yahoo groups, and there were suggestions of bareback sex, as guys would post stories about their sexual adventures, but everybody was still pretty timid.  Then some guys started hosting parties in private homes using the yahoo groups to get the word out.  Believe me, it was very private; it was anonymity taken to the next step: anonymous group sex.  Of course, we were all strangers at first, but we didn't stay strangers for long and a whole culture developed: the orgy, always in a private home.  Then travelling businessmen starting hosting orgies in their hotel rooms but one still had to communicate through the internet, via the interest group or friends of friends.  The early bareback pornstar and founder of an early bareback hookup website called Bareback City, Kenboy, opened up his house in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.  He called it the LA SexHouse and that is exactly what it was...an all around the clock open house for sex.  I used to haunt house orgies hosted by a guy named Marshall in San Francisco's Castro district. The very early bareback videos of Michael McKey were all recorded sex orgies that took place in his private home in the Phoenix area, and you could tell by the participants that the connection was all about bareback sex without too much attention to 'type' although bears (some really BIG bears) and leather predominated, it was all about fucking and getting fucked, nobody much cared what you looked like.  A looky-loo wouldn't go there, not to mention the Chatty Matties and the virtual sexhound.  It was exclusive without trying to be.  And it still had the edge of riskiness and danger.

And then came Paul Morris and Dawson, and everything pretty much changed.  There was such a thing as a 'featured bottom' in the massive sex parties hosted by John Singleton and the late Bill Gardner in Palm Springs.  There was always a large leather covered platform with a porn star bottom on all fours taking anybody's load, but that wasn't the focus of the party, just a nice added feature.
Then Dawson refined the gangbang, and now we have recurrent pump and dumps in hotels across America posted online by self-styled cumdumps on PReP.  Wow, times really have changed.

Max Sohl's ten man orgy takes place in a hotel suite, and the action moves from the living room to the bedrooms and then to the showers, and that is exactly how it happened back in the day.  Whole houses were turned into an orgy venue, and sometimes the pool, backyard and garage.  Men of all types would show up, and there was no tolerance for attitude; it was all about barebacking.  While this format still exists here and there...places in Los Angeles and New York come to mind, and probably Provincetown, Fire Island, Key West and Fort Lauderdale (these places are beyond my circle of influence), it's not quite the same.  A lot of times, the guys don't even bother to take off their clothes.

The best thing about Fuck Off Homo (at least, for me) is the orgy scene because it brought back so many great memories.  Believe me, Max Sohl, you did it right; actually, you did it better.  Every orgy should have the All-American boy freshness of a Kyle Ferris contrasted to the street sluttiness of a Draven Torres, on their backs, side by side, taking one swollen plumped up cock after another, with so many combinations of lust that you'd need a seating chart to figure out who's who.  This scene alone puts Fuck Off Homo among my favorites and I hope you'll agree.  There is one thing the TIM crowd didn't have to worry about, and that is the consequence of ten or twelve men fucking on a California king sized bed, at the same time.  Ah, bring back those memories.
