It's folly Erwin, FOLLY!

It's not very often when so-called "pornographic" films mix both straight and gay sex(mainly due to the obvious; the audience will not be aroused), but two films that did, 1972s SCORE and 1975s BOTH WAYS not only interweave the gay sex into the story but are also two of the most unique and innovative hardcore films in existence. While Radley Metzger's 1972 classic Score was an artistic study of swinger culture, Jerry Douglas's 1975 film Both Ways takes a far more intellectual approach to the subject and instead creates a powerful family melodrama.

The Back Row (1973) - Jerry Douglas

Jerry Douglas' The Back Row (1972):

As millions flocked to theatres to see The Godfather back in 1972, another landmark film was unspooling in theatres as well. (Sure, they were decidedly smaller and seedier theatres, and had a tendency to reek of bodily fluids, but they were theatres nonetheless.) Garnering nowhere the same amount of press, it was a milestone in its own right. That film is The Back Row. Seen here for the first time in nearly 30 years, this hilarious (and sexy as hell) pre-condom-era rub-your-chub flick is a must for porn fans.

Casey Donovan (Boys in the Sand, The Other Side of Aspen) is featured as a dude cruising NYC's all-male smut theatres looking for love (or at least a good hummer); George Payne is the young "guy from Montana" who catches his eye.
