- This is the first monograph (256pp.) to focus on contemporary commercial gay pornography emerging from research undertaken over a 20-year period. Integrating pornography studies into the fields of cultural studies and masculinities it argues that pornography is not a marginal cultural practice but is part of mainstream popular culture. Through extensive analyses of key texts, the monograph argues that gay pornography is an especially fruitful site for interrogating sexualised modern masculinities. The book introduces the theory of ‘saturated masculinity’ to make meaning out of the models of masculinity that gay pornography produces and extends beyond the genre.
