This video documents a safe-sex group encounter among six men. The men—White and mostly in their 20s or 30s—candidly discuss their feelings about each other, group sex, safer sex, and sex in general. The video begins with short interview segments in which the men describe how long they’ve known each other. They describe having sex with friends as allowing them to be vulnerable and to explore boundaries in a safe environment.

The men also discuss: personal fantasies and feelings about sex; voyeurism; whether orgasm should be the goal of sex; the pleasure of anal sex; non-penetrative sex; condom use; eroticizing condom use; using condoms or plastic wrap for oral/anal contact; and the importance of talking with your partners about safer sex.

The second section of the video is footage from the group sex session. It includes kissing, massage, mutual masturbation, light whipping, oral sex with condoms, licking, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and anal sex with condoms. The men then express their pleasure in sharing sexual experiences with multiple partners, and their sexual “afterglow” experiences.

The technical quality of this video is high. The men comfortably share their intimate lives with the viewers in a positive manner without awkwardness. The video won an award in the “Homo Home Video Contest” sponsored by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
