Before social media, influencers and selfies, there was Peter Berlin; whose blond hair, fair skin and slim physique made him an international icon. He was “the original influencer.
The gay erotic film Nights in Black Leather was a significant release during the 1970’s Golden Era of Gay Porn. It was embraced and celebrated internationally due to it’s sexual representation but primarily because of its star and creative mind behind the film, Peter Berlin.
In this episode we are going to take a look at Nights in Black Leather. A fluke film with a loose narrative made on the fly that would cement its place in the annals of gay porn history to this day. We will also explore the life and work of Peter Berlin, a talent artist, photographer, filmmaker and human being who would become a defining gay sex symbol and reluctant porn star through his photography and porn films that only had one main subject…himself.
