Book Description
This book investigates what women enjoy about consuming, and in some cases producing, gay male erotic media–from slashfic, to pornographic texts, to visual pornography–and how this sits within their consumption of erotica and pornography more generally. In addition, it will examine how women’s use of gay male erotic media fits in with their perceptions of gender and sexuality. By drawing on a piece of wide-scale mixed methods research that examines these motivations, an original and important volume is presented that serves to explore and contribute to this under-researched area.

Raising My Rainbow
Author: Lori Duron
Publisher: Crown

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Raising My Rainbow is Lori Duron’s frank, heartfelt, and brutally funny account of her and her family's adventures of distress and happiness raising a gender-creative son. Whereas her older son, Chase, is a Lego-loving, sports-playing boy's boy, Lori's younger son, C.J., would much rather twirl around in a pink sparkly tutu, with a Disney Princess in each hand while singing Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." C.J. is gender variant or gender nonconforming, whichever you prefer. Whatever the term, Lori has a boy who likes girl stuff—really likes girl stuff. He floats on the gender-variation spectrum from super-macho-masculine on the left all the way to super-girly-feminine on the right. He's not all pink and not all blue. He's a muddled mess or a rainbow creation. Lori and her family choose to see the rainbow. Written in Lori's uniquely witty and warm voice and launched by her incredibly popular blog of the same name, Raising My Rainbow is the unforgettable story of her wonderful family as they navigate the often challenging but never dull privilege of raising a slightly effeminate, possibly gay, totally fabulous son. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content

The Boy from the O
Author: Sandy Kendall

Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
All journeys begin with a single step, and Kristofer's began in England when he was seven years old and he and a friend went on an early morning adventure and read their files in the orphanage where they were living. Kris's records contained information not usually included. From that moment, Kristofer thought of nothing but becoming a doctor, although practically impossible within the confines of the British educational structure and orphanage policy, and then having a relationship with his father who knew nothing about him. Far from Dickensian, St. Ann's was a good beginning and Kris became the joint project of a loving nun and a priest who gave him the best education possible while dodging adoption. Kris never forgets where he came from. The lessons he learned at the orphanage enabled him to become a responsible adult and incredible parent. There were, however, some things for which he was totally unprepared. How does a man who never celebrated a birthday or received a gift, handle holidays and birthdays as a single parent? How does he develop a relationship with a father who has trouble when the past and the present collide? Kris encounters incredible highs and crushing lows in his journey. He has wonderful friendships with both men and women and his saga is as much about loyalty and forgiveness as it is about finding the right girl, though sometimes at the wrong time. A touching story written with sensitivity, warmth, and interwoven with wit, the reader walks in Kris's shoes as he traverses England and the U.S. looking for credential, love and family.

Boys Love Manga and Beyond
Author: Mark McLelland
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1626743096
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
Boys Love Manga and Beyond looks at a range of literary, artistic and other cultural products that celebrate the beauty of adolescent boys and young men. In Japan, depiction of the “beautiful boy” has long been a romantic and sexualized trope for both sexes and commands a high degree of cultural visibility today across a range of genres from pop music to animation. In recent decades, “Boys Love” (or simply BL) has emerged as a mainstream genre in manga, anime, and games for girls and young women. This genre was first developed in Japan in the early 1970s by a group of female artists who went on to establish themselves as major figures in Japan's manga industry. By the late 1970s many amateur women fans were getting involved in the BL phenomenon by creating and self-publishing homoerotic parodies of established male manga characters and popular media figures. The popularity of these fan-made products, sold and circulated at huge conventions, has led to an increase in the number of commercial titles available. Today, a wide range of products produced both by professionals and amateurs are brought together under the general rubric of “boys love,” and are rapidly gaining an audience throughout Asia and globally. This collection provides the first comprehensive overview in English of the BL phenomenon in Japan, its history and various subgenres and introduces translations of some key Japanese scholarship not otherwise available. Some chapters detail the historical and cultural contexts that helped BL emerge as a significant part of girls' culture in Japan. Others offer important case studies of BL production, consumption, and circulation and explain why BL has become a controversial topic in contemporary Japan.
