The author makes a compelling argument that the portrayal of Black men in gay porn often relies on perpetuating stereotypes of Black masculinity, particularly those that depict them as exotic or hypersexualized, often emphasizing their dark phalluses. Furthermore, these depictions consistently create a binary divide between gay Black and white men's sexuality, essentializing sexual aspects of racial identity. While such portrayals may be less prevalent in user-submitted videos, they nonetheless persist in both user-submitted and corporate content, perpetuating harmful stereotypes about Black masculinity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for researchers, lecturers, and graduate students engaged in the study of social sciences and humanities, including Sociology, Social Psychology, Sexuality, African American Studies, Women and Gender Studies, LGBTQ Studies, Culture and Art Studies, Porn Studies, Social Media Studies, and Public Health. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the portrayal of Black men in porn, shedding light on the complex interplay between corporate and noncorporate producers, cultural norms, and societal attitudes toward sexuality. By examining the ways in which these representations shape perceptions and attitudes, this book contributes to our understanding of the broader social and cultural implications of pornographic content.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032138572\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Desmond FrancisGoss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44278228517114,"sku":"9781032138572","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1686329104804_book.jpg?v=1686655555","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/race-and-masculinity-in-gay-mens-pornography-deconstructing-the-big-black-beast-9781032138572","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
