Interviewees cited specific positive and negative qualities, unique to gay pornography. The data were thematically analysed with three overarching themes emerging: reasons for watching gay pornography, the importance of pornography being ‘believable,’ and homonegative and femi-negative reactions to the medium.
Three brief sequences, extracted from popular titles (i.e., Doing it Together: The Peters Twins, Folsom Filth, Miles and Ashton: Bareback), were reviewed and discussed. This assertion was explored through a series of personal interviews conducted with women ( n = 14) who perceive this type of pornography to be erotic. While these studies are valuable, anecdotal arguments suggest that gay male pornography may offer women an erotic alternative. Little research has been conducted examining women’s perceptions of pornography, with the few studies available focusing almost exclusively on heterosexual and lesbian pornography.
