Administrative records and miscellaneous, 1989-2003

The business records, submissions of erotic-narrative letters, and submissions of and responses to personal ads for Hommes pour Hommes, covering the period from 1990 until it ceased publication in 2003. In addition, a file of materials from a swinger's magazine from the same publisher and a number of personal-ad letters from couples seeking a third sexual partner for bisexual activities. Also, a poster advertising the posting of announcements and contacts via Hommes pour Hommes using Minitel, a precursor of the World Wide Web. The collection provides a window into French gay men's desires and fantasies in the 1990s, as well as into the final years of the era of print media as the setting for arranging sexual contacts.
