There is a decidedly old fashioned feel to gay nightlife in Fort Lauderdale, and even more so in Wilton Manors which is home to a rapidly increasing amount of elderly gay men. It’s becoming more and more like Palm Springs the Californian town where gay men chose to retire in.
Whereas in other cities gay bars are disappearing or changing to cater for a more contemporary and diverse crowd, in Wilton Manors they like old, slightly dingy bars, gay saunas and strip shows.
Two years ago when PJ’s Cocks and Tails Bar closed, Johnsons a male strip bar arose from the ashes. General Manager Matt Colunga who is a body builder, had previously run the short-lived Miami branch of Swinging Richards the ONLY bar in Florida which somehow had been allowed to serve alcohol and totally nudity.
Now Johnsons has a fine line of hot and willing young studs stripping each night, but by law they have to keep their privates strictly private. They have just been featured in a brand new documentary by actor/filmmaker Gerald McCullouch (Daddy) with the slightly misleading title ALL MALE, ALL NUDE: JOHNSONS.
This follows McCullough’s previous film ALL MALE ALL NUDE which was about Swinging Richards’ in Atlanta the only club in the country where the male performers are totally naked. No matter how hard management hyped it all up as something really wonderful and spectacular it is however just another Strip Club. Albeit an all male one where each night some 72 dancers get totally naked to play ‘helicopters’ with their large flaccid penises right in the faces of their very willing mostly-male audiences.
This new documentary will show the sheer diversity of the men who sign up to strip at Johnsons. There are obviously porn star performer, but also single fathers and young men putting themselves through college with their stripping income. The most interesting one being 26-year-old Alexander, who spends his days dressed as Spider-Man creating early memories for children at kid parties and spends his nights stripping down to his G-String for gay men
