Abstract
This article investigates the affective encounters between heterosexuality and homosexuality within gay pornography. Looking at three examples – Fraternity X’s Trump Pump, Men.Com’s Fuck the Phony, and Icon Male’s The Therapist – affective resonances of disgust, amusement, and sadness (respectively) are uncovered. Academic writing on straightness in gay pornography has often emphasized either its oppressive effects or its subversive effects. While these three case studies are widely different in tone, style, and content, they all incorporate a more ambivalent affective relationship between gayness and the heteromasculine power represented by straight men than previously discussed. All three films mix the erotic adoration of straight men with derision and mockery, allowing heteromasculinity to remain an object of desire while still maintaining an affirmative gay identity.
期刊介绍：
orn Studies is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to critically explore those cultural products and services designated as pornographic and their cultural, economic, historical, institutional, legal and social contexts. Porn Studies will publish innovative work examining specifically sexual and explicit media forms, their connections to wider media landscapes and their links to the broader spheres of (sex) work across historical periods and national contexts. Porn Studies is an interdisciplinary journal informed by critical sexuality studies and work exploring the intersection of sexuality, gender, race, class, age and ability. It focuses on developing knowledge of pornographies past and present, in all their variations and around the world. Because pornography studies are still in their infancy we are also interested in discussions that focus on theoretical approaches, methodology and research ethics. Alongside articles, the journal includes a forum devoted to shorter observations, developments, debates or issues in porn studies, designed to encourage exchange and debate. Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
