What was gay sex like in the 1920s?

Same as it was in 1820 and will be in 2020.

Judging by Thomas on Downton Abbey... pretty lame....and mostly revolved around stalking straight guys (Jimmy)...so yeah same as now.

How many different ways can you stick a dick in an ass, OP? What kind of question is this?

Did they have douches and lube back then?

Cole Porter got a ton of dick

Read the letters of Hart Crane if you want to find out more

Like the eldergays of datalounge don't remember their fathers? Sex was shitty back then and you were made to wash the sheets.

The 1919 gay sex scandal in the Navy. The ongoing official investigation became even more notorious than the original "crimes."

Isn't that the investigation where enlisted personnel were ordered to find homosexuals and confirm it by having sex with them?

My guess is that it ended in orgasm.

r9, yep!

I've been wondering about this. I also wish someone would start a thread about gay scene in repressive regimes like Soviet Russia, East Germany or even North Korea. I was very fascinated by the fact Greg Louganis hooked up with a Russian gymnast "Yuri" at the 1976 Olympics. Was anybody in communist regimes openly gay?

Was it Cole Porter or Tennessee Williams that hooked up with Jackie Kennedy's father?

Interesting Wiki article above about the Newport Navy sex scandal. Future President Franklin Roosevelt was involved.

"When Palmer declined to dedicate resources to such an investigation, Arnold, a former Connecticut state detective, was placed in charge of the work. With an infiltration approach in mind, he chose his investigators on the basis of their youth and looks. Over a period of several weeks, 13 such agents submitted daily reports to Arnold that included candid descriptions of homosexual acts and their participation in them. They rarely reported any hesitancy or qualms about their direct participation."

Of course they douched, my Uncle said they would look in the bath room for the red rubber bulb and that is how to know your partner was indeed a bottom.

How did that come up in a conversation with your uncle?

R15 I don't get it.

No shaving, no douching, no rimming. These became common practice post the1970s,some later some earlier. More uncut dick then too.

[quote]no rimming

That's not true.

I asked R16

R18 What bullshit you spout.

Even the ancients had goat bladder and hollow reed to douche with.

"Was it Cole Porter or Tennessee Williams that hooked up with Jackie Kennedy's father?"

Cole Porter, when they were at Yale

Ask these two.

Oh honey, it was GREAT!!!!

I remember 1920 as if it were yesterday.

Norman Lloyd, is that you at r24?
