BIGGER THAN LIFE

BIGGER THAN LIFE
The History of Gay Porn Cinema from Beefcake to Hardcore
Jeffrey Escoffier

 

Bigger Than Life is not just a survey of gay porn films. It is also a social history of the gay porn industry set in context of gay men’s changing patterns of sexuality and the evolution of the medium itself from beefcake magazines and 8mm loop to hardcore film, and through the home video revolution up to the world-wide web. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with the leading figures and players in the gay porn industry, this is the authoritative work on gay porn cinema.
