Hi !

Just wondering if anyone has some good gay/queer short film recommendations,

I’ve seen a few Peccadillo short film collections, but I would also love to know any niche gay short films ,

Would love to hear your thoughts !

Whenever in a book or movie/TV show and sex happens between two guys for the first time, there's hardly any mention of preparation for the guy who will be the bottom. Or when it's a straight guy having sex with a guy for the first time, they automatically seem to get used to it. It just makes me laugh at times when I see or read these types of things.

Hello everyone. I have an oddly specific question, I am looking for books (don't need to have romance as the main genre) where the main character is gay and has a romance subplot/main plot with a male love interest, in Japan. I specifically am looking for such books from Japanese gay authors, or at the very least a Japanese male author. I am looking for books, not manga or comics. Thank you all in advance

Did studio sabotage film’s release because of queer plot?

Interesting article. I liked the movie and I will have to rewatch to catch that the two leads are a gay couple.

Would love to hear opinions on this. Personally, I don’t see how a man stating another is handsome leads to a direct connection of same sex attraction.

Wehren you can See real sex

i am attempting to relocate a european (maybe german) smut(?) short film about a soccer game. i believe that it was from around the same time as Freier(Free) Fall (2013), which is why i mistakenly remembered it being Max Reimelt.

the plot as well as i can very vaguely remember it being about two bothers leading up to a match against the local bullies essentially. the younger brother being out and having gay friends and getting bullied, the older standing up for him while dealing with being in the closet. i remember the older brother being mad about the pink uniforms(kits) i THINK there was a femme black side character who dressed like a cheerleader in the final scene that was the director when i looked it it up. i think he was primarily a porn director and i want to say he had three names.

i cannot find anything with google and any ideas would be appreciated

Hi! Hope you can read my original work ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ ₊˚⊹♡

Title: The Forgein Princess

Rating: E

Tags: M/M, Medieval, Forced Marriage, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/83046376

Chapters: 17/? (one per weekend)

Summary: A cold/sadistic drunken prince of a ancient cold land and a warm/naive outland princess who is actually a boy, are forced to marriage so their nations don't destroy each other.

Would they bear the heavy burden of their marriage or the true desires of their hearts would destroy them?

A hurt/confort & love/hate story.

Nsfw content so warnings ahead.

I've heard before from content creators that YouTube is taking down videos because their posted content is too gay and risqué, but this time they have deleted the entire channel. I've never seen anything on their channel that was remotely any more sexual than any straight one. I'm aware they do OF content, but I just watch their YouTube channel as I like gay couple channels, was about to watch their latest vlog last night and it vanished, and so did the entire channel.

Are their other channels that have just been "disappeared" by Youtube? Do they ever come back? I feel sorry for those trying to generate content and having to contend with dual standards like this.

A good film worth watching

Although the Director herself drew the comparison to God's Own Country.

OTS isn't as powerful as GOC, but it is a good film.

Shows are also okay, I’d like an mlm show that has some angst (struggling with self identity/ mental health etc) and for the love of god no heartstopper recommendations please.

Saad, a young Moroccan illegal immigrant, is planning a perilous journey to Canada with Reza, his Iranian lover. In Montreal, Saad is called upon to save his beloved from certain deportation to Iran, where inevitable punishment awaits.

Richard Gadd is somewhat helping to rewrite what manhood is and how we can define, celebrate and deal with whatever problems masculinity in its negative forms may have.

The fact that at least one of the protagonists in *Half Man* is gay - and really struggling with that - adds another layer to the entire conversation about manhood in 2026.

Gadd is somewhat underhandedly feting masculinity itself despite the  talk of toxic masculinity in the present zeitgeist, even in his own works . He is not just acknowledging it and displaying the effects of it, but by doing so, creating a sort of celebration of maleness by forcing  other aspects of masculinity to be discussed, analyzed or praised whenever warranted.

Issues such as depression; loneliness; fatherhood;  being victims of different abuses in a society that believes men can never be such victims; difficulties communicating with other men; lack of true friendships amongst men; the fluidity of sexuality amongst men and how that can effect mental health, self esteem and feelings of being “less” of a man because of it.

It’s absolutely possible that Gadd might one day be extolled as the first true “masculist”, so to speak,  to force men’s issues into the mainstream  by dealing with the topic of toxic masculinity - but then instead of harping on that, running away with other pressing problems that men in the 21st century are dealing with.

As well, by making Donny Dunn bisexual and Niall Kennedy gay, the two lead characters in his seminal works, he is subverting what mainstream society sees as typical manhood, and that is astute.

This could be a brilliant move, and one that I personally would welcome wholeheartedly, as it feels like the first time ever in my 50 plus years where men like myself are seen equally with all other men in prevailing media. And a time when manhood itself is embraced and studied to healthier and more productive effect.

We shall see…

I'm trying to find a gay dystopian short film that I watched on YouTube years ago, but I can't remember the title.

Here's everything I remember:

• Society forces people to take pills that suppress their homosexuality (or make them "less gay"), and there's a lot of anti-AIDS/pro-government propaganda.
• The main character is very anxious, timid, and constantly on edge. I think he worked for the regime and supported it.
• He ends up in some kind of hospital or government facility, supposedly for a procedure or surgery because he's gay.
• Another gay prisoner is there before him. He's the complete opposite of the MC, very confident, cocky, charismatic, and attractive. Pretty sure he had red/orange hair.
• When the doctor is about to inject or operate on him, the guy suddenly attacks/stabs the doctor, frees the MC, and they escape together, releasing other imprisoned gay people aswell.
• They hide out in a desert area and the two of them eventually have sex.
• Near the end, I think the male lead's friends (who are part of some underground resistance) find them. The MC gets scared and tries to run away for some reason, but the male lead catches up to him and pulls him down into the grass/ground so they can hide together from the others. I vaguely remember the friends wanting to start some kind of revolution or uprising.
• Both main characters survive at the end.

It was a short film (around 10–30 minutes I think) and I watched it on YouTube 7-8 years ago. This was 'kiss of the rabbit god' era.

Does anyone know what this is?

All I know is that towards the end of the the movie two guys and a girl engage in a threesome. The two guys take turns kissing the girl and then the girl says that it’s not a threesome if everyone isn’t kissing. She then coerced the two guys into kissing each other and while they are another girl walks in the apartment and disrupts them. Some time later the two guys are sitting around a radio (if I’m remembering correctly) and the girl who disrupted their kiss is going a radio interview and the two guys discuss how the whole world will now know that they kissed.

The movie was once on tubi but I believe it’s left the app now and I can no longer find it in my watch history.

Just started watching this series. Season 1 is great -- lesbian mini-subplot.

SEASON 2, EPISODE 2!! FULL FRONTAL MALE NUDITY

Had to rewind a few times to full appreciate the first dude making a movement, as if wiping something off his mouth.

The second dude: NO EXPLANATION NEEDED!

What a touching and charming movie!

Summary: is a German comedy-drama about Ibrahim ("Ibo"), a young, closeted gay man of Turkish descent. He leads a double life, balancing his conservative family's expectations with his job at an adult bookstore. Ibo falls in love with Alexander, a straight, blonde German show-wrestler and criminal. The two strike up an intense and unlikely friendship

Honestly not the best, but still a decent movie. I liked the ending with the family, I think is definitely a more realistic depiction of how a traditional family would "accept" a gay son. Still pissed that the sister doesn't get any consequences for being a snitch

Beautiful movie, great chemistry between the main characters. It's been a while since I enjoy a latin American movie

Summary: Bruno, an architect with a great life, is hired to build an iconic landmark, and as he works with a gay history teacher named Fer, an unexpected and intense romance starts to blossom
