These videos, sold separately, are pre-condom classics from the Gay Film Institute. In Writers Delight (1982), from P.M. Productions, a gay erotic novelist is having trouble writing the sex scenes, so his characters come to life to demonstrate what he should write.
    The first scenario is between a blond and a brunet in front of a full-length window next to a Christmas tree. They kiss and roll around on the floor and jerk off to climax. Then the brunet sucks the blond to another climax in his mouth.
    The next scene takes place on a staircase carpeted in deep shag. It's another blond-brunet duo with oral sex only and deep in-the-throat cum shots.
    A pool table features in scene three as the platform for two cheery guys who laugh and smile a lot as they undress each other. you get the idea that they've never had sex but they have wanted to for a long time. If the background music sounds familiar, it's from Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. The two very cute, smooth, big-dicked boys sixty-nine on top of the table, then fuck, with the bottom working as hard as the top. It's experimental, first-time boysex the way it oughta be.
    For the writer's final chapter, a naked young man is at the bottom of an empty swimming pool admiring a mosaic mermaid. When he rubs her tits, she comes to life — as a guy. The youth is not at all put out by this turn of events: he takes his mer-man by the hand and leads him to a couch where they suck and fuck.
    In Muscle Bound (1976), a young man visits a bathhouse that caters to every sexual fantasy and fetish you can think of. The opening credits are the graffiti on the bathroom wall.
    The club has a locker area for workout fantasies, and the action varies from voyeurs to soloists to pairs and groups. Definitely something for everyone. there's more action in the sauna and showers, and there's the usual hall full of private rooms. the bathroom has the obligatory glory hole, and even a guy in there cleaning — though his behavior makes you wonder if he's an attendant or a patron. The bathroom action, all oral, is enhanced by unusual camera angles.
    In the hall of mirrors, a young man embraces his reflection while another eats his ass. Another part of the bathhouse has various game machines. There's also a room with a sling and another room full of individual stalls — like you would see in a barn — with men held captive in each stall. The youth from the beginning of the film is adducted and put in one of these stalls while a voice coming through a speaker tells the captives "I possess you."
    It soon becomes apparent that everyone who visits the bathhouse ends up inhabiting one of the stalls, although before the evening is over, the captives have turned the tables on the bathhouse manager who had engineered their capture. They fuck him and put him in a stall, then emerge to greet a rainy dawn.
    In both Writers Delight and Muscle Bound, the visual quality suffers the ravages of age, but the depictions of gay sex in the era of free love before AIDS are terrific. The DVDs have scene selection and 45 minutes of trailers from dozens of vintage porn films.
