Abstract
ABSTRACTI am an American gay pornographer. That is the lens through which I see and understand things. For both straight and gay males, the sex in pornography is meaningful to the extent that it works against the predetermined structures associated with ‘functional’ sex. While there are similarities in the behaviours of gay and straight males in porn sex, the meanings of the specific syllabic gestures of the sex are different. For straight men, the allure of unfettered, unlimited sex derives from the fact that each heterosexual man exists in society as a proxy for the children he may generate. For gay men, sex is devoid of this generative remove. In this Forum piece I examine the ways in which queer porn functions by arousing the viewer, and then presenting behaviours, institutions and ideas with which the viewer can identify.
