A unique, multifaceted look at the meaning (and the specifics) of
gay male pornography Open any gay lifestyle magazine (even the
serious ones) or go to any gay bar, and you're likely to encounter
something related to pornography, be it an image of a porn
superstar or advertisements for pornographic magazines, DVDs,
calendars, etc. Eclectic Views on Gay Male Pornography Pornucopia
examines this phenomenon with a series of provocative essays, in
which experts in history, law, media studies, and psychology, as
well as laypeople and gay porn insiders explore the complex world
of male pornography and the various ways in which it has permeated
gay culturefrom the 1970s until today. This first-of-its-kind book
examines the phenomenon of self-writing and performance for gay men
in the last century, specifically looking at the lives of
modern-day performance artist Tim Miller, who has received national
recognition for his one-man shows portraying his struggles as a gay
man; Wakefield Poole (born 1936), the first producer of gay
pornography (Bijou, Boys in the Sand) in the era accompanying the
emergence of the gay rights movement; gay adult film icon Scott
Spunk O'Hara (born 1961); and Aaron Lawrence (born 1971), who
worked as a gay escort, actor, and producer/director of his own
sexually explicit amateur videos. In this groundbreaking analysis
of gay men's relationship with pornography, you'll also learn
about: gay pornography and the messages it carries about intimacy,
body image, and hegemonic masculinity representations of ethnicity
in gay pornography gay pornography and safer sex gay pornography
and censorship viewers' perceptions of gay pornography gay
pornography and internalized homophobia, misogyny, and body fascism
changes in the way gay pornography is produced and performedfrom
the 1970s through the 1990s the meaning of the recurring settings
in American gay pornographic videos: prison, the military, and
other all-male environments; and recurring themes: leather, S/M,
dissatisfaction with heterosexual life, initiation into gay life,
etc. In addition, Eclectic Views on Gay Male Pornography presents
two fascinating chapters about the case of Little Sisters Book and
Art Emporium in Vancouver. In this landmark case, the Canadian
Supreme Court was asked to determine whether gay male pornography
violated the sex equality protections guaranteed by the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The court also examined the way
that Canada Customs treats international shipments to gay and
lesbian bookstores. In addition, the book provides a revealing
insider's perspective on the gay adult video industry that
contrasts the workaday reality of making porn with the glamorous
mythology of the skin trade.
