Gay men have always been very resourceful when it comes to finding sexy fun in a sometimes hostile world. Before guys found each other on apps and websites, they figured out creative ways to come together.
Today Jack Ryan, TV host and creator of “The 10% Show,” Chicago’s very first cable access tv show for the LGBT folks joins us to talk about the evolution of men meeting up for sex, from cruising the street back in the day to the latest hook up apps.

Here is Alaska’s Ice Bucket challenge video, which impressively is even better than Chris Pratt’s (but not as sexy.)
Lube and ass! LMAO! Oh Marc, behave! Behave!
What an awesome show! I loved Jacks stories about how it was to be gay in the 70’s. I just did a research paper for history class on the Stone Wall Riots that has really gotten me interested in early gay life after those riots. Bravo to another great episode and congrats on making your CwDQ goal!
P.S. – Alaska’s Ice bucket challenge is so funny simply because the light reflection makes it look like she has gigantic cartoon pupils. Shades of Jessica Rabbit!

you guys really got me remembering things from back in the day. I forgot to tell you that besides, bars, and discos there were HOUSE PARTIES. They were the best. People’s entire house all floors would completely get crazy with food, music, liquor and sex. In the 70’s when a queen thru a party it wasn’t just red and white wine. It was EVERYTHING and lots of it. All drinks! And one thing all gay 70’s parties had was a room or floor that was for getting off. Every party had a sex area. Even if it was just where they kept the coats. People got DOWN.. lolol (ok, I’m done)
