书籍简介
◎Included with the book! A "Half-Century Hall-of-Fame Superstar Art Poster"!
The first specialized study of American gay porn in history.
A meticulous exploration of half a century of gay porn cinema – an essential desk/bedside read for serious GV fans.
Witness how generations of pioneering gay porn creators, from the most conservative and challenging environments, blazed a trail, growing stronger with each setback, to produce astonishing masterpieces!
See how batches of gifted, handsome, and virile men transitioned from simple small towns to the dazzling film sets, shedding their clothes to fulfill your, my, and their own sexual fantasies!
Through "Life is Porn," the most uninhibited sexual revolution of the 1960s, to the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s where everyone was on edge, what fierce debates and struggles erupted between sex, pornography, and the gay community, and even the LGBTQ rights movement in the US? How did they support each other and even share adversity?
"Gay porn, like all pornography, offers a timeless and unconstrained sexual fantasy. But it also acts as a kind of documentary, recording the reality of gay male sexuality. Even the cheapest ones can serve as a defense, explanation, and exploration of gay male life. It's a hybrid – part sociology, part education, and part erection. These images helped fledgling gay men identify with their sexuality, and also learn about sexual and social norms, and ways of constructing masculinity and sexuality."
Highlights of this book:
Andy Warhol's Silver Factory and "The Flesh Trilogy" / "Physical Culture Model Association"'s "Muscular Men Magazine" / From cuddling and kissing to explicit hardcore films / Gay porn collected by MoMA / "Backseat": Cruising for fun at adult theaters / "Boys in the Sand": The birth of the first gay porn superstar in history / How San Francisco became America's porn capital / The rise and fall of Falcon Studios / New masculine aesthetics: Castro clones / Truck driver road movies selling nationwide / "L.A. Plays Itself" sparks the skinny beautiful man trend / The massive impact of widespread home video / The divergence of "responsible" and "proud" gays amidst the AIDS crisis / To use or not to use a condom? Safe and good anal sex / Marines eager to appear on screen / Star-making comparable to Hollywood / Get paid to be gay: straight men joining in / Do you prefer plot-driven or direct action? / "Born for porn" talented directors / What side hustles do stars have besides filming? / The end of superstars / The counterattack of Black and Latino porn / The rise and debate of bareback porn…
