Erotic Twinks

Erotic Twinks
Jerry Douglas’s Tubstrip , a risqué comedy set in a gay bathhouse, was a popular sensation when produced onstage in 1973-1974, in the era of gay liberation and the sexual revolution. The play, often dismissed by mainstream critics but hailed as “funny, sexy, and important” by the gay press, ran for 140 performances off-Broadway, then toured to eight cities over nine months, and returned to Broadway starring the legendary adult film star Casey Donovan in the lead role. Despite its unprecedented success and acclaim, the play was not officially published until 2019.
Along with the debut publication of the script of the play, this edition includes a foreword by Jordan Schildcrout titled “Tubstrip and The Erotic Theatre of Gay Liberation”, which examines the significance of the play as one of a wave of erotic gay plays (most of them forgotten or lost) that emerged between 1969 and 1974. This edition also features rarely seen publicity photos, posters, and advertisements from the original production of the play.
Jerry Douglas , a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, was pursuing a career in the legitimate theatre while also writing and directing “all male” films, including the classic The Back Row . He went on to have a major career in gay male pornography, directing numerous award-winning films between 1989 and 2007, such as More of a Man , Flesh & Blood, Dream Team , and Buckleroos .
Jordan Schildcrout is Associate Professor of Theatre & Performance at SUNY Purchase.
Chelsea Station Editions is distributed by Ingram. Tubstrip on Amazon.
Tubstrip opened off-Broadway on May 17, 1973, and ran for 100 performances at the Mercer Arts Center — until the building collapsed.
Dean Tait , who originated the role Dusty the hustler, also appeared in Jerry Douglas’s film Both Ways (1975).
After the crumbling of stage censorship laws and the popular success of Hair (1968), nudity become much more prevalent on the New York stage, and Tubstrip took full advantage of the new freedom.
Larry Gilman plays Brian, the gay bathhouse attendant looking for love in the era of sexual liberation.
The off-Broadway production re-opened at the Players Theatre for 40 more performances. Lee Barton, reviewing the play for The Advocate , called it “funny, sexy, and important,” but wondered whether mainstream critics could “tolerate anything gay that is so open and healthy.”
Tubstrip was remarkably sex-positive for its time, showing the S&M couple Tony and Kevin as loving partners. See Wikipedia for more on Jamey Gillis's prolific career.
Some critics regarded the tour as “homosexploitation,” but the Philadelphia Enquirer called it “something of an event in the history of gay liberation... asserting as it does not the sickness but the validity of homosexual affection and homoerotic appeal.”
Gerald Grant, who played Tony the sadist, also appeared in Radley Metzger’s film version of Jerry Douglas’s play, Score (1974), opposite Casey Donovan .
After the New York run, Tubstrip toured to eight cities over nine months: Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Al Levitsky played Bob, the Green Beret just back from Viet Nam, who’s come to bathhouse to meet the boy who had a crush on him in high school.
Walter Holiday played the role of Andy in all of Tubstrip’s 500 performances. Jerry Douglas credits Holiday with the inspired decision to have his character assert himself in Act Two by donning an Afro wig.
One San Francisco review praised Tubstrip as an exemplar of gay liberation, remarking, “When is the last time you walked out of a play or film about gays and felt good?”
Casey Donovan / Cal Culver told the San Francisco Examiner , “I’m not the last bit ashamed of those films I made, but I hope my career will take off now in a more serious and legitimate direction.”
The entire cast of Tubstrip appeared in the Los Angeles Pride Parade in 1974.
Jake Everett played the “skinflick mogul” Wally in all of Tubstrip ’s 500 performances. Actually 26 years old at the time, he shaved his head and created his own “fat suit” to play the middle-aged role.
When Tubstrip opened on Broadway in October 1974, the critic for Show Business reported, “Tubstrip is not for everyone, but it comes pretty close. It’s not for the prejudiced puritan, but it is for the romantic.” Most mainstream critics disagreed, and the production closed after 37 performances.

Because I’m a hard-hitting investigative journalist in the time of COVID, I pursue all leads on my way to a good story. So when I got an anonymous email from someone with murky motives offering a supposed lead, I was skeptical. Then I saw it took me to a video with dirty dancing twinks and I decided this could be my Pulitzer.
The link I got was to the YouTube page of an L.A.-based blogger named Matthew Lush who, apparently, is trolling for an online boyfriend. Lush is a kinda cute otter himself in the “yaaasss, kweeeennn!” mold, so I took a look.
The deal is, Lush sets challenges for contestants to partake in by sending videos of themselves doing the task, then others vote on their favorite; the lowest one gets eliminated. (It just launched about a week ago, it seems.)
The reason why my confidential source suggested I look into it was because a local man named Sergio (lives in Denton) is in the mix. The informant thought there might be a local angle.
But I gotta tell ya: I don’t roll that way. I’m not gonna just be a cheerleader for the North Texan. (Also I tend to like meatier guys.)
This week, Lush and his non-socially-distanced buddy totally Randy-and-Paula the shit out of the videos, with the theme of “dancing in your undies.” It takes about a half-hour to watch a bunch of twinkie young guys shake and grind in cravenly thirsty tease videos. Yes, it has come to this. Still, there are worse ways to spend 30 minutes in quarantine.
OK, check out the video below. I will now go back to my fearless pursuit of the truth.
Somebody pluck out my eyes and ears now. Slow news day I guess.
