After reading the article “On Gay Porn” by Michael Lucas, a couple of questions came to my mind. First, he mentioned “in Brokeback Mountain, for example, there is no male nudity aside from a blurred nude male image in the background of one scene. Instead, explicit depictions of female nudity are shown by two characters in the film. The male on male sex scene is clothed, and focuses on the grunting faces of the actors in the scene.” My question regarding that comment is to what extent does he believe Hollywood films should show in regards to gay men having sex? And also, Brokeback Mountain is the first movie I’ve seen in the past 10+ years that features a gay theme. Most of the major Hollywood movies shown in the past decade doesn’t depict any kind of gay theme. So my second question is, does Mr. Lucas think that Brokeback Mountain sort of broke that barrier, and given the success of the movie, does he believe there will be more movies with that particular type of theme?
