"Gay Sex in the 70s" documents the unbridled sexual passion and exploration that marked the 12 years from Stonewall (1969) to the first reported cases of AIDS (1981) -- with a filmic and photographic treasure trove of erotic life on New York's West Side piers, trucks, bars, dance clubs, baths and beaches. The cast of storytellers take us from the remarkably repressed pre-Stonewall period to an era of sexual excess unparalleled since ancient Rome, telling their stories with remarkable wit, humor and perspective.
