I've never seen any gay porn, but I can believe that it's no more interesting or relevant than straight porn. I do keep reading about women who are specifically into gay porn in some underground or voyeuristic way. I wonder: are they just trying to usurp the not-very-enviable convention of straight men liking lesbian scenes? Or is it the allure of inaccessibility?

Hilarious subject line. To explain -- one time at a party we had one of those 'everything stops their conversations at once' moments. Except for friend Karen, who loudly said to another person, discussing a model at an art class she attended, "That's how we knew he was in gay porn." Collapse of party focus for several minutes. Ever since then, lulls in conversation usually get punctuated with a hearty, "So, gay porn, then."

Never seen anything but a very random snippet or two. That said, Chi Chi La Rue's autobiography Making It Big is a must read. Minnesota drag queen becomes gay porn director and tells all!

But what if you're an astronaut?

It's not gay porn but I can recommend "The Fluffer", which is not only a great US film about the gay porn industry, but also features Debbie Harry as the owner of a strip club, which = choice.

The Fluffer was written and co-directed by Wash Westmoreland, brother of Jack Fairy (Micko Westmoreland), for all you Velvet Goldmine fans out there. He's the guy in the beginning of the movie taunting the TV reporter--"So what do you make of that, Mr. BBC?"

Damn, between that connection and Tim's description, this sounds like a must see.

You can watch it between Chi Chi LaRue flicks, Ned.

It's a pleasure!

I wonder sometimes where porn girls and guys come from cause its not where I am from. Maybe they are from a small moon around the Planet Rawk where all rawk stars hatch.

And having investigated more thoroughly, I gather Chi Chi LaRue is actually in the durn film. It is a *sign*. One of Marc Almond's favorite filmmakers can't be all bad. ;-)

I so cannot wait to see The Fluffer. Micko and ArtWorldStu have been telling me about it for MONTHS.

It actually just opened here yesterday. So how did Australia get it first? Bleh.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 19 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cultured people go to Film Festivals, Ned.

t has the whole like trashy porn as fine art thing been done? i mean it must have been, no?

eight years pass...

Anyone with an, er, interest in gay porn might want to check out the recent-ish documentary Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story about the founder of Falcon Studios (the most famed American gay porn line?), which discusses not only the origins of the studio/the industry of gay porn in general, but also Holmes' late-in-life transformation into a beloved/controversial philanthropist, complete with photo ops with the Clintons and Gores. It tends to rush through the material a bit (the racism of the studio's collegiate image is touched upon only briefly, and then dropped) and the some of the celebrity talking heads (John Waters, Jake Shears) are under-utilized, but the extensive use of (non-hardcore) footage from the studio's films as narrative illustration was clever. Plus, I'm a sucker for these kinds of "alternative histories" in general--as with the recent Larry Kramer doc, you essentially get a mini-history of the post-Stonewall gay rights movement and AIDS contained within the story of one particular figure.
