The starting unimportant in behalf of this journey is surely a revisiting of the last, and I am pleased that Thomas Waugh has been persuaded to specify his own reassessment of what has develop a foundational venture on scholars of gay porn and his own reflections on the conditions of the field. As always, his humour and acuity is admirable (his representation of Gail Dines as this record book’s ‘demogogue nemesis’ has мейд me roll on the floor every experience I prepare read it), as is his modesty, acknowledging, as he does in ‘Men’s Porn, Gay vs. Decent: a In the flesh Revisit’ that his bash at was by no means the opening on the subject. ‘Men’s Pornography: Gay vs Straight’ is nonetheless in my view (and this is a view shared past numberless others) an specially worthy intervention. In this supplemental article, Waugh describes the set of social and cultural circumstances that dispose to the advertisement of his effort in Rise Settled in 1985. In particular this reappraisal usefully works to jog the memory readers of the innovations contained therein. These include a methodical rubric for interpretation and Gay0Day the uncommonly apposite (and in multifarious regards prophetic) observation that gay porn does not exist in luxurious isolation and should be more meaningfully agreed as say of what Tom describes as a ‘continuum’ here.
