It wasn't the early days of Falcon when Chuck Holmes sold VHS tapes out of the trunk of his car, to the tune of $60 to as much as $100 a pop (in late 70s-era cash) when men would line up because there was nothing available in adult shops (making Chuck a wealthy man), but the resulting explosion in content producers made gay porn widely available in neighborhood video stores by the late 80s and early 90s.ĪIDs, however, struck and the gay porn industry went off the rails. First, people still paid for porn then, and pornographers could make a decent living. The era of gay porn you're describing probably was the golden age, but frankly, that's not saying much.
