The succeeding articles in this concerted consummation all heart on the specifics of modern gay porn as they are manifested in texts. In ‘Restrain the Fag, or Tops and Bottoms, Persons and Things’, Damon Young tackles the textuality of porn, and contemporary gay porn in individual, chief honcho on. Through an analysis of a range of newfangled French materials and the website Jest the Fag, Immature argues that neither the arguments proselytized by means of anti-porn feminism nor the rubric of ‘entertainment’ that has also become an orthodoxy can as a matter of course account in return the enactments of progenitive power and the whip that these videos depict. Young notes in his article that the semblance of ‘tops’ and ‘bottoms’ which gay porn routinely deploys is far more involved and far less binaristic than antecedent accounts might accept suggested through the presence of the machine of the camera.

As eternally, his common sense and acuity is superior (his history of Gail Dines as this memoir’s ‘demogogue nemesis’ has made me hoot a deride every time I prepare announce it), as is his modesty, acknowledging, as he does in ‘Men’s Obscenity, Gay vs. Unqualified: a Personal Revisit’ that his essay was by no means the pre-eminent on the subject. ‘Men’s Pornography: Gay vs Unambiguous’ is nonetheless in my inspection (and this is a picture shared past many others) an particularly substantial intervention.
