Waitin' for the Weekend: Gay Swim Party, 1946


From the collection of Harold T. O'Neal, a gay home movie buff who made many films of gay life in California from 1939 to 1989.  This one begins with a well-dressed but rather dull garden party, followed by scenes of several beautiful young men splashing about in various states of undress somewhere along the American River.  A lovely glimpse of what seems a much more innocent time.

Double-click the screen to go full size; hit escape to exit.

Once again, I state what M.P. says, and he ought to know:  if they're only swimming, it's not porn.

Reminds me of Lake Harriman in Vermont (the Ledges) except that us gay boys were all "au natural" (back when we were "boys" in our 30s and 40s)

I once got to visit an unofficial gay beach/nude beach on a barrier island in the Gulf, some 35 years ago. Lots of good-looking scenery! But too far away from home to revisit, darn it.
