Seventh Circle
For this shoot, sex coach Finn Deerhart selected the theme of "Seventh Circle" in reference to Dante's Inferno. This shoot is an exploration of dark power as a motivator in the gay psyche. We examine sex that is tinted with desires to sadistically consume, control, manipulate and torture. The theme invokes a question: Does owning our darkness make it possible to ascend? Does looking into the darkness of our hearts allow triumph over the evils of denial?
Enough
Written by Coach Alex Ray, this series celebrates authenticity by reframing and eroticizing our insecurities. This series was filmed in the mountains of eastern Kentucky during a solar eclipse.
American Heroes
American Heroes is about assumptions of male power: where it lies, who has it, and how it is acquired. From the beginning of a boy’s life, he is told to “man up,” “be a real man,” “be masculine,” and many other harmful instructions that ultimately lead him away from his own heart. American Heroes is an invitation to dismantle our shared ideas about men and to see them as complex beings that exert not only strength, but a spectrum of traits - beauty, nurturance, sensuality, gentleness, and love - traits that only a real man could possess.
All The World's a Stage
This series, written by coach Matthew Shur, is about the tension between performance and authenticity. We explore how we can play around with, tow the line between, and subvert the dynamics altogether of performance and pleasure in front of the camera.
Elements
Earth. Wind. Water. Fire. These are the elements of our planet, and the elements that run through each of us. In this powerful collection written by Brad Amberheart, we see scenes inspired by each of the elements. Earth grounds us. Wind lifts us up. Water cleanses us. And fire ignites us.
Weird Sex
This series explores weird gay sex in collaboration with Jason Tantra of Tantra4GayMen. It looks at various topics of things we have not seen or experienced before. Its aim is to open the possibilities for the viewers in their own erotic play and their own sex lives. Weirdness is good. When we try things we have not done before we get more experience, we open our horizons and we explore more of who we might be.
If Wishes Were Horses
If Wishes Were Horses is an erotic film series derived from Himeros.tv audience participation that uncovers how individuals today can begin to positively influence gay culture with respect to body shame (size/type/ablism), masculinity and femininity (toxic standards that separate these sides of the spectrum), wounds that have been turned outward on others (lateral discrimination), and expanding the definitions of sex to be more inclusive. Surveyed participants responded with what they wished they had known or experienced, looking back on their erotic journeys.
