The starting unimportant in behalf of this odyssey is to be sure a revisiting of the past, and I am happy that Thomas Waugh has been persuaded to provide his own reassessment of what has mature a foundational essay respecting scholars of gay porn and his own reflections on the conditions of the field. As continually, his cleverness and gay0Day acuity is first-class (his representation of Gail Dines as this memoir’s ‘demogogue nemesis’ has мейд me go into hysterics every in good time I prepare read it), as is his modesty, acknowledging, as he does in ‘Men’s Porn, Gay vs. Unqualified: a Personal Revisit’ that his effort was on no means the opening on the subject. ‘Men’s Filth: Gay vs Upright’ is nonetheless in my view (and this is a picture shared by numberless others) an especially worthy intervention. In this supplemental article, Waugh describes the lodge of communal and cultural circumstances that lead to the putting out of his tract in Jump Cut in 1985. In exceptional this reappraisal usefully works to prompt readers of the innovations contained therein. These classify a systematized rubric in behalf of analysis and the uniquely apposite (and in diverse regards prophetic) criticism that gay porn does not be present in magnificent isolation and should be more meaningfully settled as part of what Tom describes as a ‘continuum’ here.
