Five filmmakers explore male sexuality and longing in the collection ‘Furious Desires’

The concept of desire is explored to the fullest in Furious Desires, a collection of five international short films exploring male sexuality and longing.

The Other Side, from Mexican director Rodrigo Alvarez Flores, chronicles the romance between two young men who will not let the border come between their love. Mexican filmmaker Denisse Quintero’s The Tiger’s Fight is centered around a homoerotic harvest ritual where village men are expected fight one another.

Finally, from Italian director Simone Bozzelli, Loris is Fine follows a naïve 20-year-old whose need for affection drives him to make some life-altering choices.

With all of the shorts combined together, this stylish and diverse collection runs a total of 91 minutes… and will surely leave you with some desires of your own.

A sex-worker embarks on an unusual odyssey in the surreal erotic drama ‘Strapped’

The strikingly handsome Benjamin Bonenfant stars in the sexually-charged 2010 indie film Strapped as an unnamed hustler on an unusual odyssey.

Stunningly photographed by writer-director Joseph Graham, the film follows the young man during a routine trick that soon leads him through a series of life-changing encounters.

This amicable and sexually efficient rent boy begins to look at himself differently when he finds himself lost in a maze-like apartment building. On his journey through the building, he meets up with a variety of different clients. Sex is the commonality, but out of that commodity comes raw, unguarded emotions for all involved.

Witty, sexy, surreal and ultimately touching, Strapped offers up an unforgettable look into one young man’s moving journey toward understanding himself and the world around him.

Watch the trailer for Strapped below. Though it’s long been difficult to find, Strapped is now finally available to stream on Dekkoo! We also have an interview with director Joseph Graham where he discusses this provocative film, plus a making-of documentary available now.

Don’t miss the delightfully insane (and insanely funny) new queer comedy series ‘Marque and Hector’

We’ve seen generations of cisgender men playing trans women in media. Maybe it’s time we flip the script and let a trans woman play a cisgender man for once!

Welcome to the hilarious world of Marque and Hector, a brand-new, hysterically funny web series in which gender norms have been torn to shreds and put together ass-backwards.

Joslyn DeFreece stars as Marque, an aging gay queen who is thirsty for YouTube fame and enlists the help of his dumb-as-a-bucket houseboy Hector (played by Linus Ignatius) in his mission to conquer the interwebs.

Woefully stupid, but gifted with a heart of gold, Hector proudly serves as Marque’s Vanna White, his magician’s assistant and his punching bag. The only problem? Marque bungles everything he touches — including his hopes and dreams.

In an age where representation is so sensitive and some productions feel like they’re only allowed to portray LGBTQ+ characters in a heroic light, this joyously demented comedy series is here to remind everyone that trans, queer and gender-noncomforming people are still allowed to be funny as hell!

Watch the trailer for Marque and Hector below. The full 5-episode first season is now streaming on Dekkoo.

Dekkoo Films presents Bad Together – now available to rent or own!

From creator Jono Mitchell, the writer, director and actor behind Making a Scene, Thirty Candles and Miles from Nowhere, Bad Together is a brand-new Dekkoo-original that follows the evolving friendship between two gay men as they learn to accept and love both themselves and one another.

Andres Erickson stars as Robbie, a sensitive young casting associate who is reeling after a recent break-up. When his best friend Emma drags him to a work party in an effort to cheer him up, he meets the charming and freewheeling Cameron, played by Queer Niro.

The story checks in with the pair at different moments throughout the years-long relationship that develops. Are these two just friends or are there deeper feeling that aren’t being expressed? And, more importantly, are they even a good match for one another?

Intelligently written, acted and directed, Bad Together examines modern queer relationships with a keen eye and a lot of heart.

Bad Together is now available to rent or own from all major VOD platforms. It will be available to Dekkoo subscribers in 2024.

A newly restored HD version of ‘Boy Culture’ is now available on Dekkoo!

Back in 2006, director and co-writer Q. Allan Brocka created a gorgeously textured gay indie film that not only explored the recesses of the human heart, but was charged with sex and filled with laughter.

Adapted from the outstanding novel by Matthew Rettenmund, Boy Culture tells the story of X (Derek Magyar), a high-end sex worker, and his two roommates Andrew and Joey (Darryl Stephens and Jonathan Trent).

Together, the three men have created a family for the 21st century. X is the head of the household who brings home the bacon and sets the tone. He has a serious crush on Andrew, who works at a video store and is waiting for the right man… and in Andrew’s opinion, a hustler is just not the right man. Joey is a 17-year-old whirlwind of trouble, but there’s really only one man he wants: X.

The sexual tension between the trio is palpable. With a mix of insight, wit and raunchy self-awareness, Boy Culture charmed gay audiences when it was released nearly two decades ago – and fans now have reason to get excited. Not only is the original Boy Culture back on Dekkoo, but there is a brand-new follow-up series in the works which will is now available to rent of buy from all the usual VOD services and will be streaming on Dekkoo early next year!

Watch the original trailer for Boy Culture below. The new HD Version is now available on Dekkoo.

BOY CULTURE: GENERATION X – Now available to rent or own!

From creators Q. Allan Brocka and Matthew Rettenmund, this massively exciting Dekkoo-original follows up the 2006 gay indie hit Boy Culture!

The brand-new Boy Culture: Generation X picks up ten years after the original, following hard-working male escort X as he finds himself up against a much younger generation – who have gained a competitive edge on the market.

X is soon taken under the wind of Chayce, a barely-legal twink who is ruthlessly up to speed on how to sell himself to clients in the digital age. As he struggles to keep his aging body fit and his unusual roster of kinky clients happy, he is also dealing with the realities of living with his ex-boyfriend Andrew, who is aiming to move on from the former romantic entanglement.

Returning to the format of the novel, on which the original Boy Culture was based, each episodic segment of this sexy new installment features a trick from which X learns – or specifically fails to learn – a lesson. Derek Magyar and Darryl Stephens, the stars of the original film, are back and surrounded by many new faces.

Older, wiser and more incisive than ever, Boy Culture: Generation X has a lot to say about love, sex, relationships and aging gracefully in a culture that often values youthful good looks above all else. It’s also hysterically funny!

Boy Culture: Generation X is now available to rent or buy on Dekkoo.com and from all major VOD platforms. It will be available on Dekkoo as part of the subscription plan in 2024! Check out the trailer below.

Get seduced by Dekkoo’s Gay Erotic Thrillers Collection!

Dekkoo is proud to present The Gay Erotic Thrillers Collection.

We love a good erotic thriller. Although the best known entries of the genre usually concern straight characters, they always seemed to have a slightly over-the-top camp sensibility – plus icy femme fatales that have inspired countless drag homages.

Though the erotic thriller heyday of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s are long behind us, there has been plenty of similar cinematic intrigue in the world of LGBTQ+ film. This month, we’re spotlighting a few of our favorites from around the globe.

Get seduced by this sensual collection of films that walk a razor’s edge between pleasure and danger – all from the safe comfort of your own home.

The Gay Erotic Thrillers Collection includes the films Last Ferry, Young Hunter, The Acrobat, Cola de Mono, M/M, The Skin of the Teeth, Blackmail Boys, Complete Strangers and The Year I Lost My Mind.
