Gay Porn in Literature

[+ glennnn]

We've talked frequently about favorite porn sites. What about pornographic lit? I love the books of Josh Lawson and a few others, surprisingly, many that are female. Do you read porn? Do you prefer a well developed storyline or are you more in to gay erotica? I like both depending on whether I'm looking for entertainment or jack off material. One lack I find in many gay novels is a detailed descriptions of the cocks of the characters, such as smooth, veiny, cut, intact, lots of skin, dark or light, mushroom head, a mouthful or more, etc. The female authors in particular describe the hero's face in great detail, but simply say, "thick", when getting down to cases. LOL!

I enjoy erotic stories, way back from my closet days when I'd ready "Penthouse Forum Variations", which had more gay content than the regular Penthouse letters. There's an author who always had one or two stories in the "Friction" anthologies, Grant Foster, that I really liked; I found a book of just his stories. To my tastes, I'm not so much concerned with the physical details; I read more for the situation and the setup.

It's been a while, but for the latter, nifty.org.

A long long time ago, I discovered Gordon Merrick and his highly erotic, graphic, sex-charged, almost pornographic, novels. I was a deeply closeted 20 something, and I couldn't believe it. Buying those books was a forbidden pleasure, something like a teenager buying condoms at the local drugstore. I would wait for the store to be clear, rush the purchase, hoping that the clerk would not notice my embarrassment. Oh, the amount of cum I spilled reading those graphic male sex descriptions!

I've greatly enjoyed several of Marie Sexton's books.

I have a listing of authors of gay fiction that range from stories with erotic themes to stories with an occasional romantic moments. Two of my favorite authors are Greg Herren and Geoffrey Knight.

There was a copy of "An Idol for Others" in the book section that I'd browse while my mother took my sisters clothes shopping. I'd swear that the book must have eventually just naturally fallen open to the scene in the gym showers.

John Rechy, City of Night. Highly intelligent and literate porn, of a kind. Fascinating even in its datedness, it still lives and breathes as writing.

 

Edmund White's early Nocturnes for the King of Naples. Far better I thought than his later, popular but awfully pedestrian novels.

 

Every word from the pen of Hollinghurst. Even though those words rather quickly got to be the same words, repeated over and over, after his first couple of books.

 

And the grandmother of us all, in a sense: Holleran's glorious Dancer from the Dance.

 

All those to me manage to be high literature and magnificent porn at the same time.

While Hollinghurst’s novels are fundamentally literary rather than pornographic, there are certainly explicit sections, and I've really enjoyed everything I've read of his; most recently, The Spell and The Line of Beauty. I can also recommend Reinaldo Arenas. Before Night Falls gives a frank assessment of gay life in Castro’s Cuba, including a fair amount of gay sex.

Regarding written porn:

Aaron Travis, but be warned it's VERY intense. https://www.amazon.com/Aaron-Travis/e/B000APA9GU

Clay Caldwell. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&text=Clay+Caldwell&search-alias=books&field-author=Clay+Caldwell&sort=relevancerank

VERY GOOD Lars Eighner: https://www.amazon.com/Lars-Eighner/e/B000APY8IU/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

VERY GOOD Rusty Winter: https://www.amazon.com/Rusty-Winter/e/B00M8A1EDM/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

John Preston: https://www.amazon.com/John-Preston/e/B000APO1EG/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

That should hold you for awhile :-)

I remember Friction. Liked it a lot.

I'll bet you a quarter they'll soon be an app for that.

This is an excellent anthology, and a good starting point:

Anyone likes nifty stories? Some of them are hotter than porn.

It's hard to find good ones though since there are so many.

When, as a bi-curious widower who knew very little about gay sex, I began exploring gay porn, nifty.org was an eye-opening resource. There's a lot of dreck there but also some very good stories, and descriptions of things men do that I had never dreamed of.

Agree with @saminseattle about The Line of Beauty, which is also about politics. I read the book twice.

I love nifty , but yes their search function is a bit lacking. I also like menonthenet the erotic stories section has a ton of erotic stories. Organized a little better than nifty.

Ha! Just this morning I was going to mention menonthenet's erotic stories, there's a story on there called "The Breaking of Lightning Man" (superhero bondage porn) that has been one of my favorites for close to 15 years now. It's in 5 parts

Embarrassing. If he wants highly intelligent and literate, Marcel Proust, Andre Gide, Thomas Mann and many others should be mentioned as well as John Rechy.

I like this author there-he hasn't written in a while, but mostly the Siamboy-painful love series- very bondage/superhero/fantasy type. There is like 11 or so total in the siamboy series.

Hi Poolboy, those Penthouse letters were where I discovered there was more to sex than hetero sex. I found myself looking for letters about gay experiences, usually about guys who themselves had never thought about other men. Same thing with adult videos, I realized that I was starting to watch the men more and more and then decided to watch a gay video. I found myself getting very aroused.
