From creators Q. Allan Brocka and Matthew Rettenmund, this brand-new Dekkoo-original follows up the 2006 LGBTQ+ indie hit Boy Culture. Boy Culture: Generation X picks up years after the original, following hard-working male escort X as he finds himself up against a much younger generation – who have gained a competitive edge on the market. He’s soon taken under the wing of Chayce, a barely legal twink who is ruthlessly up to speed on how to sell himself to clients in the digital age. As X struggles to keep his aging body fit and his unusual roster of kinky clients happy, he is also dealing with the realities of living with his ex-boyfriend Andrew, who is aiming to move on from the former romantic entanglement.
