When discussing vintage gay porn, it is impossible not to mention 1908's Le Menage Moderne du Madame Butterfly. Not only is this film, directed by Bernard Natan, a stunning example of vintage gay porn, it is also the first known film to depict hardcore bisexual and homosexual acts. The French film has a complex plot and the production value of the movie are exceptionally high. Because of legal restrictions, early gay porn was called forced to remain underground. That which was made commercially available was laughably tame and consisted largely of individual men wearing a g-string or in shorts posing like a body builder.

As for American vintage gay porn, also known as stag films, most historians agree that the first ever hardcore gay scenes are found in 1929's The Surprise of a Knight. Featuring homosexual intercourse exclusively, the movie focuses on two individuals: the lady and her gentleman caller. After flirting for awhile, the lady plops down on the sofa with her rear in the air, exposing her bare buttocks. The gentleman caller, also known as the knight promptly enters her.

After both individuals orgasm, the man walks off screen. Immediately afterward, the lady raises her skirt to reveal the surprise: she is really a he. The gentleman caller then returns onscreen and helps the lady remove the rest of his clothing, then the two dance together. After a cutaway, the lady is shown wearing a business suit, then winks at the camera and walks off of the screen.

The Surprise of a Knight led a brief movement of hardcore homosexual porn during the days of stag film in the era before it was banned by the legislative branch of the United States government. It wasn't until 1970 that porn became legally commercially available, and it wasn't until 2003's Supreme Court ruling in Lawrence vs. Texas that sodomy laws were decided to be unconstitutional.

When one thinks of how far the industry has gone and how much individuals and homosexual groups had to overcome to advance the cause, it really makes that type of porn more titillating. While hardcore gay porn is not as taboo as it used to be, at one time purchasing and possessing it was a jailable offense. Whether or not those types of consequences added to the eroticism of the media can be debated, but few people can argue that the advances made in terms of deregulation haven't been an overall positive.
