This was the locale at which my unpractical rush properly began and a research track was plotted that has led to the publication, this year, of my own disquisition, Gay Pornography: Representations of Sexuality and Masculinity (Mercer 2016). Porn matters as a cultural spectacle, and it first of all matters to gay men.
