The Man Who Made Gay Porn Chic: ‘My Actors Were Not Just F*****g’
“Way back in 1971, Wakefield Poole’s gay porn film Boys in the Sand did more than arouse people. It became a legit hit at New York’s 55th Street Playhouse, attracted a mixed crowd, including some surprising glitterati, and paved the way for the acceptance of porn on a mainstream level. Starring the blonde, game Cal Culver (who dubbed himself Casey Donovan after appearing in a film called Casey), Boys in the Sand was nicely photographed on Fire Island (on a budget) and had pleasantly evocative music backing its explicit sex acts–a far cry from the raunchy stuff that was running in 42nd Street porn theaters at the time.” Out
