It may be that men's insecurity in a changing world, where their role and power has been reduced, prompts the need for a fantasy world that offers itself as reality. A world where men are on top. A world where sex-barter is the only exchange between men and women. It's a comforting, closed world where women are at once everywhere and excluded. It's a conservative world, where for all the panting poses, there is neither freedom nor change.
Pornography stays the same.
At least heterosexual porn does. The battle to get gay porn in the high street is not about morals, it's about what upsets existing fantasies. Anyone who has looked at gay men's porn will realise what's radical about it is the self-conscious theatre. Nobody pretends it's real life. Queers don't need to prop up assumptions of male and female, so when it comes to sex, we know how to have fun.
