GAYFICTN STORI

Not only do this media ntribute to an accurate image of gay relatnships the mds of the men which lbians and bisexual women exist for their entertament and pleasure, but also has wispread tangible implitns and nsequenc. Fandoms that nsume the piec want to explore the most pellg relatnships their fanfictn, so, as queer people beme more visible, the world of “slash fictn” (fanfictn portrayg a romantic and often sexual relatnship between characters om a given source) began centerg gay men.

Stori of gay men wrten by women have so nsumed the mediums that ’s been claimed that straight, whe women are paid more than gay men by publishers to wre gay romanc. Via exposure to this media, numero teenage girls are given false, harmful ias about gay impacts of the fetishizatn of gay men and lbians are severe, trans people, pecially trans women, experience far more direct nsequenc. As someone who was once a teenage girl trapped the body of a teenage boy readg gay slash fan fictn about Harry Potter and Dra Malfoy havg an illic renzvo the Astronomy Tower as Evancence played softly om the speakers of my E-mache, I know a thg or two about fanfictn.

GAY FANFICTN

But while gay male eroti abounds fanfictn -- and while some of is tly excellent -- there is an issue I n't get past: most of the works are wrten by self-profsed teenage girls (and a surprisg amount of adult queer women), girls who have not and will never (probably, unls HRT is their future) have gay male sex, girls who don't unrstand how gay male sex -- or any sex at all -- actually works the real world.

There is of urse nothg wrong wh beg asexual, wh beg a virg, wh beg a woman who enjoys readg and wrg about gay sex -- but don't always make for pellg and realistic matter how much porn you nsume, there is only so much knowledge you n acce about gay sex whout actually havg .
