Though derided by critics, this newly minted genre had two notable features: broader narratives within which sex occurred, and an insistent focus on the visual display of male pleasure. Plotting Sex claims that, by embedding sex within a story, sex itself takes on narrative qualities. To support this claim, it teases out small shifts in the twentieth century’s episteme that collectively contributed to the early 1970s emergence of what it terms pornography’s performatistic screen, or the base, plotted structure of bodily performance and engagement underpinning sexual displays as enacted over time in orgasmically-oriented hard core film.

  • Stardom: Industry of Desire 1
    STARDOM What makes a star? Why do we have stars? Do we want or need them? Newspapers, magazines, TV chat shows, record sleeves—all display a proliferation of film star images. In the past, we have tended to see stars as cogs in a mass entertainment industry selling desires and ideologies. But since the 1970s, new approaches have explored the active role of the star in producing meanings, pleasures and identities for a diversity of audiences. Stardom brings together some of the best recent writing which represents these new approaches. Drawn from film history, sociology, textual analysis, audience research, psychoanalysis and cultural politics, the essays raise important questions for the politics of representation, the impact of stars on society and the cultural limitations and possibilities of stars.

  • Pornographic Film and Video: Gay Male by Joe A
    Pornographic Film and Video: Gay Male by Joe A. Thomas Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Pornographic film and video have played an important role in gay male culture. Whereas heterosexual pornography has been accompanied by a serious stigma in the "straight" world, gay pornography has been characterized partly by the high esteem in which it is held in the gay male subculture. As a group that is both defined by its sexual activity and rejected by the majority culture for it, gay men have often seen in pornography an all-too-rare positive image of gay sexuality. Similarly, they have found in the exaggerated sexuality and marginal artistry of porn a campy rejection of the hierarchies of the heterosexual majority. As with straight pornography, gay male pornography can be divided into two categories, hardcore and softcore. Hardcore is the genre commonly associated with the term pornography. It includes explicit imagery of actual sexual activity to the point of climax, including visible penetration and ejaculation. Softcore is a less explicit alternative, generally focusing on nude or nearly nude bodies in sexual or sensual situations, but without views of penetration or visible climax. The sex is nearly always simulated in softcore, and it is often filmed with an emphasis on romance or mood. As porn diva Gloria Leonard once humorously proclaimed, "The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting." Because both the production and consumption of pornographic film and video are dependent on relatively high levels of technology, the genre's development has taken place primarily in the industrialized West.

  • AVN Beaver Street Review
    AVN | February 2013 BOOK REVIEW | By Sharan Street Walk on the Wild Side Robert Rosen recounts his, long, strange trip down ‘Beaver Street’ Beaver Street: A History of Modern Pornography By Robert Rosen | Headpress, 2012 | Paperback, 224 pages Since 1983, the year AVN magazine came into being, the landscape in the adult industry has undergone more than a few seismic shifts. In Beaver Street: A History of Modern Pornography, author Robert Rosen gives eyewitness accounts of some of the earth-shaking events in the industry. He calls the book an investigative memoir, a term that describes the book’s “interplay of the personal and historical.” Rosen’s run in the industry lasted from 1983 to 1999, when he worked under the name Bobby Paradise as an editor of adult magazines—hundreds of titles, in fact, with such names as D-Cup, Plump & Pink and Blondes in Heat. The best-known of these—the flagships for the two companies at which he toiled—were High Society and Swank, which still maintain a toehold in today’s adult market. From his vantage point in the New York smut rag biz, Rosen saw the rise and fall of many a porn trend. In 1983 he walked in the doors of High Society, “unaware that I was stepping into ground zero of a new age of pornographic wealth and joining a revolution that was changing the face of commercial erotica—as well as society itself. I did not grasp the profound, and far- reaching implications of phone sex.” On his first day, Rosen perused news clips from such publications as Forbes and Fortune, reporting that “High Society was a visionary corporation run by Gloria Leonard, a media–savvy porn star/publisher who was now making millions of dollars with phone sex, an explosive new business that hadn’t existed two months earlier.” But the man really making the millions was the owner Carl Ruderman; even as the money flowed in he longed for respectability while simultaneously envying the success of his competition, Larry Flynt’s Hustler.

  • Providing Educational Opportunities to Sex Workers
    ABSTRACT In most industries today, workers and their employers take for granted that they will continue to learn more about their career fields. They expect to hone their skills, practice new approaches, and learn about the latest technologies and research advances. However, it is not readily apparent that sex workers have an awareness of continuing education being available for their types of work. This dissertation researches the existing educational opportunities for sex workers and provides an overview of who offers what. Various organizations, private websites, workshops, videos, health clinics, therapists, conferences and other sources, offer education of various kinds, and for various reasons. This dissertation then surveys 150 sex workers’ attitudes toward career-related education, their levels of interest, and exactly what they’re interested in learning. Results are tabulated by job description, level of industry experience, and age of the respondents. The overall response was highly favorable toward education. The most popular course topics (out of 28 choices) were, in order, Legal Issues, Career Enhancement, Financial Advice, Super Sex Technologies, Self Defense, and the History of Sex Work. The classes least of interest were, in order, Advanced Safer Sex Techniques, Building Self Esteem, and How to Be A Better Lover. Next a focus group of sex workers and sex worker educators was assembled. The survey results were shared with this panel of experts who analyzed and discussed them. The group first noticed that the most popular classes were similar to those that would also be of most interest to self-employed individuals in other industries: career-specific skills, and classes in marketing, legal and financial issues.
