Lou Maletta's Loft Sex Weekend Sex parties

[quote]Totally nude and often attended by gay celebs and porn stars of the day.

Who did you see? Tell all.

Sometimes fun and sexual, other times drab and boring. Like any sex club of that day. Lou was hot and/or cold depending on his mood/drugs. I did enjoy it as a hot young guy( for the most part.) We were raided a few times totally naked. The cops included gals.(cops) It was funny how he kept the club open for a number of years.

My friend would go often. He was Chicago and hated NY’s bathhouses. He was also a total slut and would go to every sex party—always methed up.

Wasn’t the place a TV studio by day and a sex club on weekends?

I thought it was on W26th or 27th but more west

Never went but it was infamous

I was a member of the housekeeping team, a part-time college job. Really grungy work.

I can back up r2's story. One of the times I went, it was raided by the police. I don't know how they ever found out about it unless neighbors called it in for a noise complaint or unless Maletta got bored and called them himself, which he was just enough of a bitch to do.

A couple of times the party was moved to a space on West 14th Street. A few years later, I was working for a small investment management company and they had their Christmas party in the same space. It was difficult to believe that right where the CEO was dancing, I had shot a huge load. It could only happen in New York.

What did the police do at the raid....ask everyone to get dressed first and then go to the paddywagon?

I guess they didn't get their payoff that week.

[quote] What did the police do at the raid....ask everyone to get dressed first and then go to the paddywagon?

Told everyone to get dressed and leave immediately. As we were walking out, they were looking to see who might be on drugs.

The time it happened to me, the music was playing very loudly and it took them a few minutes to find the music and turn it off. Nobody knew they had entered. As the lights came on, there was a skinny, geeky ugly guy standing totally naked with the biggest dick I've ever seen. Poor guy couldn't get any action with that big dick. Seriously, it looked like a 12" dick. So here is this fugly guy, with a big dick, standing totally naked right next to a uniformed policeman. It was a Kodak moment. I bet both of them went home with stories to tell!

Talk about a boner killer

I only remember the most beautiful guy that used to work there named Troy. Beautiful.

He seemed like a nice guy and his enduring commitment to the black leather look was admirable. But did hot guys want to get sexual with Lou in the 90s? By that point, he was a saggy old man.

Troy, the cute blond who wore a leather harness? My boyfriend Jon B. also worked there and we would sometimes end up together in a 3 way.

The first time I went to this loft party it was surreal seeing so many hot men, totally naked but with boots on, walking around with boners a poppin.

Lots of Broadway chorus boys with great bodies and big dicks. You were only allowed one go-around with them.. No repeat performances.

Since this was the 90s I assume everyone had to wear condoms?

Yes, Lou Maletta's loft where had sex parties (you had to pay to get into, it was a business) also doubled as the studios for his Gay Cable News network in the daytime. It was on cable access and had several shows (one was Men on Film?, also a kind of Broadway thing) that were very popular and kind of a big deal in the pre-internet age. I think Robin Byrd was connected to him somehow. Lou was a regular at all the clubs in NYC, in his trademark cowboy hat and loud voice.

There was also another guy at the time that he often got confused with, Marvin Schwam, who also ran a gay news network on Manhattan cable out of a loft (near Union Square) but didn't have a sex party business, just a fantastic loft where he often had large parties for NYC's gaylebrities and sometimes used it to film. He was on the cover of magazines as a "cable innovator." He had a very popular show called Party Talk and I think one called Insdie Out and also a Christopher Makos thing.

In gay NYC in the 90's if you said, "That guy who runs the gay TV shows out of his loft," people would often get these two guys mixed up.

R15 are you kidding?

I never saw a condom at those parties.

They had lube packs and condoms in many different places, also Listerine in the bathrooms and soap and a lots of paper towels.

Many of the guys were conscience about safe sex and did a lot with touching/JO and blowjobs, only the hard core sex pigs were getting fucks raw...there was a small percentage in that group.

Christopher Makos was everywhere in those days and he truly enjoyed sex in a piggy way...he kind of scared me with his aggression. Always wanting me to fuck him, uh no thanks

I fucked Tom Hanson there and later at my place the next afternoon. He wasn't a Daddy at the time, still smooth and muscular with a big cock and great ass. Condoms were used.

In the early/mid 90's in NYC condoms were everywhere and pretty much everyone used them by default. AIDS was still terrifying. If someone didn't want to use a condom in those years everyone thought they were crazy, and they probably were.

In the late 90's, things started to change.

crystal meth was just getting to the east in the mid 90s so people weren't as off the wall nuts looking for dick to insert. By 2000, every ass was pinging for dick in Chelsea

Who were the celebrities who went to these parties?

Rupert. X was the prevalent drug, along with blow. Weed was all around. Mostly beer drinking. I miss the 90s.

I guess I'm old, but I knew Lou in the early 1980's. HIs studio at that time was on Union Square. I think the building was 24-32 Union Square East. But it was a long time ago. Gah! Some of the Klein's signage was still overlooking the park.

He was having parties in that studio, at least by1983. He invited me, but AIDS was brand new and I took a hard pass on Lou's parties. I have no doubt that they were memorable.

My friend would go to Maletta’s loft. It was about the same time meth was invading the gay community and he would use.

He’s get fucked raw all the time and was actually surprised when he became HIV +. Anyway, he found a rich boyfriend at the West Side Club and have since moved to Florida together.

[quote] one was Men on Film?

gasp and swoon!

A happy ending r25

Thank you for sharing that story

Who’s Tom Hanson?

Condoms were everywhere in the 90s. You couldn't walk into a bar without seeing huge bowls of condoms at the door, on the bar, in the bathroom. I felt sorry for guys who used those because they were the cheapest type of condom. Think of putting a balloon on your dick and that's about what you were dealing with.

Brian from SPLASH was at Lou's parties all the time. He was so over tanned and tweeking it was sad. He would walk around like a lost animal trying to get people to go to the back to fuck him.... If people weren't back there he would walk to the front looking for new volunteers.

There are still sex parties all about NYC. Some better than others....Thankfully I aged out and lost desire to go to them. I still know a few older "troll" types who won't give them up. Let the young ones have their fun, just like we did. Be safe out there.

I met a older guy once would talked about going to a Manhattan popular bareback party. This was prior to PrEP being available.

He said he was fine being HIV+ because it was only one pill a day and the said the sex he could partake in was Plentiful

When younger, I went to a number of such sex parties. Thankfully I’ve (mostly) outgrown them. Not being horny constantly, like men are when younger, is actually just fine

The loft was a floor through and all the windows were painted black.....no natural sunlight got in, so you could be having sex until 9am and not know it

The windows painted black. So very Lou.

Black! The color of Lou's soul!!

One time I went to Lou's loft (mid/later 90's) to take an out of town gay friend to see something "wild." It was a weekend night. My friend got lost in the maze, I didn't want to participate so I hung out at the front and talked to Lou, who was his normal crazy self. Then I got pulled into a really weird situation. Lou was laughing about something and kept running in and out of his office at the front. I followed him in at one point...

Up on top of his desk, on all fours, on top of all the papers and rolodex and computer was this guy named Joey. Joey was known around town as this weird bottom guy who would perform at clubs doing the sickest most extreme anal things (I once saw him get double-fisted on stage at The Cock while NYU Beckys watched in horror, Marc Berkley used to hire him to have a porn stars insert a fire extinguisher or traffic cone into him in the basement of The Tunnel, I myself hired him and Aner to fuck watermelons on stage at my own night at Webster Hall)

Anyway, this night Joey had inserted a very large rubber dildo into his ass (for fun, not performing) that got swallowed all the way inside him and it created a "vacuum," as Lou explained it to me. It's like you can't get it out. They had reached a hand in there and tied a thick piece of string to the ball end and two guys were literally trying to pull it out as Joey just sat there on all fours, yanking back and forth. I remember just having a conversation with non-plussed Joey as this was happened, like, "Hi Joey how are you oh I know NYC is so commercial now can you believe Times Square blah blah..." While two guys were pulling a vacuum-stuck dildo out of his ass with a rope. Yanking back and forth. They couldn't get it out.

"Well it looks like we'll have to go to the emergency room again Joey!" Lou said loudly at one point, laughing. I guess it hadn't been the first time. My friend from Texas wandered in and I explained what was happening and introduced him to Lou and Joey (he shook his hand). My out of town guest got a real eye-full.

I saw Joey around town afterwords once or twice so I guess he got it out. I wonder what ever happened to that guy?

R37. That is a story for the whole family next Thanksgiving....OMG!

I used to love his Chicago pizza!

Lou being Lou was an ugly troglamite, but he was always having sex with gorgeous muscle men. He was no David Geffen with money, in fact, he always talked about how broke he was and borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. His sex life was enviable. I doubt he paid.

People like these sloppy sex pigs give gays a bad name.

R37-what was your night at Webster hall? I was going to tunnel, club USA, Mars, Webster hall...but sex parties scared the fuck out of me....I guess I missed some wild times

Lou was not terribly attractive.

Joey’s whole life sounds like a Bottom Pig I Love Lucy.

My friend, fresh in the city from the midwest, wanted to get involved with gay media. He went to Lou's place and asked to volunteer. There were two other guys there, also hoping to intern.

One by one, each went into Lou's office for the interview. At the end of the interviews, the other two guys got coveted positions working in the front by the cameras. My friend was told to do some filing in the back.

A week later, my friend learned that Lou had propositioned both the other guys during their interviews. Both of them accepted the proposition.

My friend quit and was so confused--he felt bad that he wasn't propositioned and yet was disgusted that it was how Lou did business.

please give more details!

R3 the only TV studio in the West 20s is now Chelsea Television Studios on 26th west of Seventh Avenue. IA TV facility since the 50s, when CBS leased the space for "Sgt Bilko" and several soaps. Today home to Rachel Ray.

[quote] Who’s Tom Hanson?

Leave this house!

Lou was not terribly attractive or nice. But I had a lot of fun at his parties. Some very hot guys there in the 90s. I remember a nondescript building, say w 26th? Those were the fun days in NYC.

R47, Lou was never operating on that level.

He had some space. He used it as a television studio. He made things that would appear on public access cable. GCN, the Gay Cable Network.

More "Stairway to Stardom." Less "Rachel Ray."

Rachael Ray/Wendy Williams studio is not the same space as Lou Maletta's. Lou's was right off of 6th Ave on W 26th Street. A few steps from the flea market that used to be good back in the day.

Lou was a sleazy man. Lou was a sex pig/sex addict (if there is such a thing). His wrinkly ass in chaps is forever burnt into my thoughts...it was not pretty.

He hit on me on several occasions but would give up quickly if you were nice about it. He was not a predator like so many others.
