Noting that the social sciences have been curiously mute about the topic of pornography marketed to gay men in comparison to the greater attention to heterosexual pornography, Morrison (psychology, National U. of Ireland) presents an interdisciplinary and multi-method collection as a corrective. Topics include the investigation of the biographies of gay pornography actors and producers as an illustration of the ways social identity is responsive to social variables such as the gay liberation movement and the AIDS epidemic, empirical analysis of accusations of the link between pornography and the "body fascism" seen by some as rife in gay culture, a radical feminist critique (by a gay man) of gay pornography as oppressive, and textual analysis of pornographic video narratives. Also published as the Journal of Homosexuality, vol. 47, nos. 3/4, 2004. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
