What could be hotter than lying under the covers with your lover while watching hot gay films? It doesn’t always have to be porn! The film industry has produced a lot of gay films that are well worth watching. We present a selection of films that offer plenty of romance, love, drama and sex. Maybe you’ll also find a new film or two that you haven’t seen yet.
Lust for Life (Y Tu Mamá También) – Love and other disasters
This Mexican gay film tells the story of Julio and Tenoch, two teenagers who are good friends. They couldn’t be more different, Julio comes from a poor background, Tenoch is the son of a well-known civil servant. The two teenagers finish school and set off on a holiday trip to Italy together. There they meet Luisa, an attractive 28-year-old who arouses their interest.
However, their attempts at seduction go awry until the beautiful woman realises that she has been cheated on by her husband. She has sex with both of them, which quickly leads to discussions. During a lively threesome, they all fall in love with each other. Although there is neither a happy ending nor any more gay scenes, Lust for Life is still a worthwhile film with many emotional moments.
Holding the Man – romantic and sexy
It is 1993 when Timothy remembers his childhood friend Pepe. He calls him and the two meet. The film tells the story of their lives and encounters in flashbacks. They attended a boys’ boarding school, where they met and fell in love.
They experienced ups and downs for 15 years, whereby relevant topics of the gay scene are depicted very well. Discrimination plays just as much a role as marginalisation, jealousy and taboo love. The erotic scenes are tingling and inviting, so get your masturbator ready.
Brokeback Mountain – that goes to the heart
You’ve probably already seen Brokeback Mountain, because it’s probably the most famous romance film in the gay scene. Its release was not without its critics, but Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal definitely set gay hearts racing. The plot of the film takes you back to 1963, where the two lonely cowboys are herding their sheep.
As a viewer, you sense how their feelings for each other grow stronger and stronger, and a sexual relationship promptly ensues. Although there are no explicit scenes on the screen, the tingling sensation is undeniable. There are two reasons why you’ll need pocket protectors for this film.
On the one hand, Ledger and Gyllenhaal are real eye candy, but on the other hand, it gets damn sad at the end. Both men marry a woman, but can never let go of each other. Their love is also a reminder of how important acceptance is in the gay scene.
Postcards from London – deep and hot
This gay film was made in 2018 and is somewhat more topical than the titles above. The film tells the life story of Jim, an attractive young man who moves from the countryside to vibrant London. He has neither money nor shelter, which brings him to the “Raconteurs”. This is a group of male escorts who offer their services to wealthy, art-loving and older clients.
His artistic savvy ultimately ensures that young Jim becomes the muse of famous artists and completely changes his life in London. You will miss explicit sex scenes here, but it does get erotic and above all profound.
A Single Man – aesthetic and special
In 2009, the film “A Single Man” was a film that was not only emotionally gripping, but also stylishly staged. The film depicts the life of George Falconer, a college professor who has lost his partner. This stroke of fate leads to a deep crisis and makes life seem pointless for him.
This Gay Film is about how George tries to regain his footing and the encounters he has along the way. The LGBTQ+ scene has had a positive impact on the film, even if you have to do without explicit sex scenes here. This gay relationship and depth is portrayed in a gripping way.
The Cake-Maker – gripping drama with gays
You won’t need your dildo in this drama, either, but you will need your lover to cuddle with. The Cake-Maker tells the story of Thomas, a German baker who leads a spicy double life with his lover Oren. Oren is actually married and only visits his lover occasionally. When he has an accident on one of his trips and dies, Thomas’s world is in ruins. He makes his way to Oren’s home country of Israel, where he also meets his wife. The two become friends and Thomas ends up working for Anat, Oren’s wife, in the small bakery.
Cycles of Porn Sex/Life – gripping documentary
More naked facts can be seen in this film from 1997. A documentary filmmaker joined a group of gay men who earn money with their bodies. This is portrayed in the first part of the film, which was released in Germany in 1998.
The second part, on the other hand, deals with the influence of the internet on the gay porn industry. Jochen Hick, the documentary filmmaker, visits the same group of men again and accompanies them for a while. Nudity, eroticism and an insight behind the facades of the porn machinery are the order of the day here, compared to the usual in gay films.
My private Idaho – worth seeing, with top actors
“The End of Innocence”, as this road film is also called, is a real high-calibre film when you look at the cast. Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix and James Russo star together in front of the camera. The story is about two hustler boys, Scott and Mike, who primarily serve male customers in Seattle.
Scott comes from a well-off family (his father is a mayor), Mike grew up on the streets. As young Mike suffers from narcolepsy, he repeatedly falls into deep sleep spontaneously and has flashbacks. In such situations, he becomes the victim of his clients, so Scott protects him. A deep friendship develops, but only Mike is in love with Scott. He, on the other hand, is not gay and only feels friendship.
This gay film, which is well worth seeing, doesn’t have a happy ending, but it does have sex scenes. The fact that Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix and James Russo get it on with each other on screen is particularly hot. Admittedly, we would like to see more, but what is hinted at is enough to make for a tingling evening.
Conclusion: Many gay films without a pornographic background
The porn landscape offers you heaps of big dicks, hot bodies and submissive boys. Most porn films have one thing in common: they are good for a quick cum and getting hot, but there is no story at all.
Although the above gay films do not show any explicit scenes, they are a real must-see for gays. Romantic moments, intimate kissing and the odd tear are inevitable. Grab your best friend, your lover or your cuddly blanket and enjoy a gay films night once again.
