Here's an unusual little film that went right by me when it first came out back in 2016. And it was filmed by Russian artist Slava Mogutin who left Russia for the West after being persecuted by the bullying authorities back home, eventually settling in New York. And so in this little video offering we have Edmund White, the great American gay novelist, fawning over the much younger but very beautiful Lev Ivankov while he takes his bath. It seems that some were creeped out by this where as others like myself quite enjoyed it. After all won't we all be 76 one day, as Mr White was in 2016. He turns 80 next January. But he does seem to have a thing with feet. And if the younger and very attractive Lev Ivankov looks slightly familiar then that's because he is already fairly well known in the adult world of gay films. The video was originally posted up on GAYLETTER MAGAZINE. It was around the end of last year that Slava released work for an exhibition just a day after Tumblr's ban on adult content. And the Exhibition that went ahead was in response to the rampant censorship across social media platforms, publishing and public venues.
