(To our GAY SEX TUESDAYS family: The other days of the week were feeling left out, so we're screening this one on a Wednesday. Don't come on Tuesday -- or rather, come in the comfort of your own home on this particular Tuesday: this week, Wednesday is your day for some hot homo cinematic sex).

 

"The most melancholic porn film I've ever seen"
--Yann Gonzalez

 

A handsome young stud rides his motorcycle through a myriad of sexual fantasies in this moody -- yet extremely hot -- classic French porno.

After a couple of films that flirted with the boundary between sexy and offputting, GAY SEX TUESDAYS returns with an even more provocative move: a stonkingly hot gay porno -- replete with gorgeous faces, hot bods, and big, beautiful dicks -- that no red-blooded homo could fail to be aroused by.

That's not to say that this film is the sort of bland pablum to be found on OnlyFans or PornHub today. Equation to an Unknown is underscored by a sense of unmistakable melancholy. As our unknown hero drifts around the queer underworld of gay Paris, he never seems to be able to satiate his horniness. No matter how many exquisitely beautiful boys he fucks, he's never quite satisfied (relatable, n'est-ce pas?).

Equation to an Unknown is also a visual treat, sumptuously filmed on 35mm, and directed by the mysterious Dietrich de Velsa, a painter and cabaret owner who also went by the names Francis Savel and Frantz Salieri. Monsieur de Velsa used his painterly eye to craft a series of gorgeous porn tableaux, and for that we say: merci beaucoup, you horny bastard. 

 

 

GAY SEX TUESDAYS is an occasional screening series dedicated to reviving the lost art of watching hardcore gay intercourse as it was intended: on a large screen, with an audience, and on any day of the week we damn please. Along with landmarks from the golden age of porn, we'll be showing queer arthouse classics and avant-garde erotica -- basically, anything beautiful and/or interesting that can offer a couple of hours' escape from the existential boringness of our jobs and our social media feeds.

GAY SEX TUESDAYS: because gay sex isn't just for the weekends.
