“Shhhhh! I'll meet you later... around the back!”
Sometimes we don't want to admit to our little indulgences. When it comes to men loving their sweet young toys, there is no exception. With cocks crammed in every orifice, these boys know when and where to get their rocks off. They keep their eyes on the prize and their Young Boys on the Side!

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.

At a birthday party in 1968 New York, a surprise guest and a drunken game leave seven gay friends reckoning with unspoken feelings and buried truths.
