    Gay Life Season 1 Episode 13 - Male Sexuality
    7.6/10(10 votes)

    #1 - Male Sexuality

    S1:E13

    From clubbers at Heaven and cruisers on Hampstead Heath to academics and journalists, gay men offer their candid views on sex and relationships. They give a brief history of cruising, rue the dashed hopes of Gay Lib, and, most interestingly, critique the goal of emulating the traditionally masculine ideal of the heterosexual man, a self-loathing trait still prevalent among gay men today.
