    The Good Ol' Bad Ol' Days of Sex in the 70's

    It was almost deja vu for me, watching what lifestyle was like in those heady days of Gay sex in the 70's.

    The thing about it was that it really happened just like that - not only in NYC but around the world! I lived in Perth, Australia and it was all happening here as well! This is a very good archive of a time in history and valuable in today's world.

    It was fun to see all the pretty young things in their heyday who are all past middle age, yet knowing that they'd come a long way to get here.

    I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone who was around at the time.
