Dudes of 2013:

I Want Your Love
From:  Dude Tube

As someone who looks at porn for multiple hours a day, I'm fascinated by the intersection of sexuality and popular culture. That's one of the reasons I'm a huge fan of Travis Matthew's film I Want Your Love. NakedSword presents this gay indie drama which combines explicit sexual content with some of the complexities of modern gay life.

The New York Times has described IWYL as "A conscious effort to take back gay sex on film" and The Guardian called it "A welcome shift in queer cinema... an embrace of the real." The movie follows Jesse (from the IWYL acclaimed short) as he spends his last weekend in San Francisco before moving back home. I love the way that writer/director Travis Matthews has taken the honest approach we expect from Independent films and applied it to the sex lives of modern gay men.

This year Travis Matthew's also got tons of attention for his collaboration with James Franco Interior. Leather Bar. which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Franco has been very vocal about his support for I Want Your Love in response to the movie being banned in Australia. I'm so impressed by the way the film balances it's touching story line with some of the hottest sex scenes I've seen on film in a long time. If you're a fan of the intimacy that real-life encounters can deliver then you're going to love the honest and erotic moments in IWYL.

If you want a taste of what the film has to offer, check out this Casting Video. Three of the men featured actually were cast in the film. You also might recognize smart and sexy porn star Conner Habib.

I've spent a lot of time watching I Want Your Love this year and keep sharing it over and over with friends.
