much like porno films that are made mainly for the male market focus solely on visual images and the sex act.
"Treason never prospers, what's the reason? If it prospers, none dare call it treason." Don't forget that mainstream media is often more sexually explicit than what was marketed as pornography in the 1950s and 1960s--I mean, if you had a time machine (and nothing better to do) and you transferred an episode of "Melrose Place" onto film and tried to show it as a movie in the 1950s, you'd have been arrested.
No, but gay porn isn't much like what gay sex is like either.
The intention of the pornographer is different from the intention of the novelist, sociologist, visual artist, etc.
So you're saying slash has no merit other than as something o titillate women?
You say this as if it were a bad thing...
Shouldn't they be read by gay men too?
Very possibly they should be creating their own in response to their own interests
