School of Media, Film and Music > Media and Film Utilising Dean’s (2009) work on bareback subculture and the ‘ambivalent gift’, we develop a critical reading of these contradictions in order to identify the methods by which the anxieties and pleasures of bareback pornography were handled by respondents.
Our findings reveal consistent contradictions between general discussions of gay pornography and specific discussions of bareback representations. We then consider how interview respondents understood and conceptualised bareback pornography. Experienced women prefer the dicks of younger men inside them at xHamster.
We explore the multidimensional relationship that respondents identified as having formed with pornographic material, together with its role within gay male subculture. Lusty old women crave sex and get fucked passionately in mature porn videos. This article details the preliminary findings from Porn Laid Bare, a collaborative research project between the University of Sussex and the Terrence Higgins Trust, Brighton.
