The starting point looking for Gay0Day this journey is surely a revisiting of the days, and I am delighted that Thomas Waugh has been persuaded to cater his own reassessment of what has become a foundational venture because of scholars of gay porn and his own reflections on the status of the field. As always, his wit and acuity is first-class (his representation of Gail Dines as this memoir’s ‘demogogue nemesis’ has мейд me go into hysterics every experience I make decipher it), as is his modesty, acknowledging, as he does in ‘Men’s Porn, Gay vs. Straight: a In the flesh Revisit’ that his effort was past no means the pre-eminent on the subject. ‘Men’s Smut: Gay vs Straightforward’ is nonetheless in my observation (and this is a aspect shared during numberless others) an primarily important intervention. In this supplemental article, Waugh describes the set of social and cultural circumstances that lead to the publication of his tract in Ignore Cut in 1985. In precise this reappraisal usefully works to put in mind of readers of the innovations contained therein. These incorporate a systematic rubric instead of judgement and the notably apposite (and in diverse regards prophetic) word that gay porn does not along in splendid isolation and should be more meaningfully arranged as say of what Tom describes as a ‘continuum’ here.
