History Unfolds Into the Gay Video



The Gay video has come a long way from the days of underground only distribution and taboo viewing. Gay video has evolved from being thought of as a scandalous hobby to being a solid billion dollar industry across the world. Gay video has been shaped by a long history. For a long time, the homoeroticism stayed underground because of obscenity laws and sodomy laws in various places. Pornography had a tough road in getting to become acceptable to the public, and on top of that, gay video makers had to work extra hard. Before gay video was deemed more accepted by the public, porn in general experienced a tremendous growth in the 1980s that cleared the way for gay sex to be on display. This super growth that the pornography industry and especially gay video experienced owed their thanks to the invention of the VHS.

With the invention of the VCR and VHS tapes in the late 1970s and early 1980s, pornography gave rise to many gay video stars, one of the most well known and respected being Al Parker. Al Parker was one of the most influential gay video actors of all time, sadly with a short life that ended at the age of 40 from complications of AIDS. Gay video icon Al Parker was an activist for safe sex, and his studio was one of the first that actively condoned wearing condoms in pornographic films.

Alan Flynn was a man responsible for improving media technology, improving zoom options on the cameras to get close ups for the first time of the actors genitals in action in straight and gay video. Along with the VCRs and VHS tapes, camcorders played an important hand in the evolution of gay video. Everyday people could now make their own private porn in the privacy of their own home with their partner. Anyone could then be a gay video star, and today, many of the gay videos that are shot by home video cameras are uploaded onto Internet websites and broadcast all over the world.

The history of gay video begins long ago in Ancient Greek times, maybe even before then. While pornography as a whole increased big time during the 1980s, gay video expanded greatly beginning in the 1970s. These were the days of the Turkish bathhouses and gay movie theaters, places where men could gather together to well, take baths and watch movies. As a result of the growing popularity of the theaters, porn studios increased the amount of gay video that was produced to be shown in these theaters. Many of the gay video films depicted ideas of sexual liberation for gay men, by way of showing hot arousing gay sex taking place in public areas. It was at these times that many of the men would frequently become aroused in the theaters and have sexual interludes right in the theaters with strangers who had been sitting next to them watching the gay film. Today, of course, thanks to the gay video, it is much safer to watch the movies in the privacy of your own home, not being able to be in a movie house full of aroused strangers along with you.
