Erotic Choices was clearly made in a time of transition, the content giving the sense of worry that years of talk about prevention were being worn down by fatigue.
As a result, you have a movie which has the eroticism of a white-coater, but is genuinely attempting to educate, rather than just looking for a cover for pud-pulling.
The harder elements of intercourse are likely simulated, but the passion is real enough, and even if the guys have that generic '90s adult entertainment look about them, they're also attractive.
What makes the movie stand out compared to some forms of gay-related entertainment is it does seem to be pitched toward a gay male audience, rather than a broader appeal, as shown in the acknowledgement of open relationships, the leather or fetish communities, etc.
The material most dated to the time is the attempt near the end of the film to discourage unprotected anal sex, even going as far as to say it's much less pleasurable than using a condom. This is a world away from today's gay adult industry, which, aside from a few holdouts, returned to all bareback, all the time in the 2010's.
