WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Inspired by the 1969 #1 National bestseller Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask, sex*but takes you through a series of questions and answers that reveal the inner workings of the mysterious and previously hidden world of homosexuality. Based entirely on Chapter 8: Male Sexuality, this educational flashback is directed Erik Sniedze.

Sex*But is presented as a question and answer forum. The questions include: What do homosexuals really do with each other?, Are all homosexual contacts as impersonal as that?, An Artificial Vagina?, and Aren't homosexuals afraid of being arrested? The piece also features special "friend of the director's commentary," an underwear fashion show and an unforgettable dance break!
