Joe Dallesandro, the 1st boner-fied gay for pay star. Thing is, if you were young and hot and after gay sex in the 1970’s and early 80’s in most places (the ones without gayborhoods), then you probably had sex many times with straight guys who were either really horny, not so gay, hustlers, or all of the above. In which case you would probably find this guy somewhat typical and not all that interesting. The deep, deep, voyeurism of Warhol in this respect smacked to me of deep deep sexual repression. I guess looking back now it has a certain romanticism. But at the time, it was not romantic at all, which is why people responded so much to John Waters’ send-up of the whole thing. While all these New Yorkers were making all this tawdry 16mm stuff, Californians were just getting high and having fun in the sun where is wasn’t shining. And making money selling great porn. And that fact alone made me l-o-v-e the idea of California.
