In August, we posted Travis Matthews’ film In Their Room, which featured BUTT Magazine readers from the San Francisco area in their bedrooms in various states of undress discussing their thoughts on sex and gay life. Now Travis has shot and edited a new batch of shorter episodes, and he’s sent us the first one. Will is a young gay man with a new dog and some conflicted feelings about anal sex – you’ll likely want to fly to California to help him solve them. Let us know what you think of this episode by leaving a comment below.
PS. Travis is working on a feature film adaptation of this series, which will he describes as a ‘gay mumble-porn movie…with a touch of Radley Metzgar and Kurt McDowell’. He is looking for help financing the film, so if you like the series and are interested, contact him via his website.

I really enjoyed this – a beautiful insight into another gay’s life.
Is there a way we can see more of the series?
Scott added on December 18, 2009 :
I loved it. the one earlier in the year was better though–it had more to it. this was a nice short-short-short version, we need more
Aaron added on December 14, 2009 :
Wow. Almost all of these comments are shockingly idiotic. I expect a lot more from BUTT readers. Oh well. It is JUST the internet…thankfully.
Also, the original “In Their Room” was completely wonderful. I look forward to seeing more of the new shorter ones!

this is a bit of a cliche porn – self indulgent wank. Honestly; a teenager has issue with anal sex, and he has a pet for emotional support? It’s so aesthetically beautiful i feel the whole thing is staged, it’s making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Will added on December 12, 2009 :
Travis , same as Will´s dog , is here for good too .
Interesting how words and movement take all priority over photography , though if you look at each square they are perfect . His picts are so BUTT , full of real life , no fiction goes . Just adore it .

I loved the fact that this guy, Will, like and have a poster of Hercules And Love Affair.
Nigel Rainey added on December 12, 2009 :
Well, its shot nicely. Other than that, nothing going on really. I personally dont care about this dudes issues, Maybe he should try being a top? It comes as no revelation, sometimes getting a big dick up your ass hurts. Hopefully there is more going on in the film than this dude complaining about anal sex.
bob smith added on December 12, 2009 :
is being a top or bottom part of ones born nature?
what if this guy never likes getting it up the ass…isn’t that a pleasure that is learned.
he says he doesn’t get the ‘gist’?, he is only 19. he has alot to learn about the greatness and difference of gay.
when i was his age………i did not rely on pets for emotional connection.
hunter added on December 12, 2009 :
this is a very real and honest insight into what a long of gay men, particularly young men, confront as they explore their sexuality. thanks.
Roberto added on December 12, 2009 :
…this is completely self-indulgent crap. Dude..who cares what your concerns are about what you do with your asshole… And you’re making a docu about it? …tragic.

Arial rules and gays with dogs are yuckie!
Joe Clark added on December 11, 2009 :
I think upgrading his type from the nondesigner’s dead giveaway of a nonchoice, Arial, would aid his œuvre.

hello
deeply moving, the best thing someone could do is only listen not comment and offer help.

Thomas added on December 11, 2009 :
I would watch a feature length; awkward and candid enough to interest.
1:40 – Wilco’s only good album / also, reminiscent of my life in highschool
