Introduction: Gay Porn Now

The bearing here between public, cultural and public changes and developments in gay porn is not a trivial one. These events, whilst variously significant, nonetheless feel as if they belong to a away finished, Gay0day so it is perhaps more surprising for the benefit of porn scholars to note that it is now during the course of 30 years since Thomas Waugh wrote the foundational go about ‘Men’s Pornography: Gay vs Straight’, in which he famous the centrality of homoeroticism to gay taste:

I belong to a cultural and national ambiance – the urban gay male community/ies – in which befouled pictures prepare a hard-won centrality, both historically and at present. (1985, 30)
