I didn't notice Section 2 of the study-- good to know! There definitely are harmful misogynistic norms in gay pornography, too. I did not realize that some gay men also watch straight porn. To make matters more complicated, I also know straight women who watch gay porn. I guess the only answer would be do a proper count on a group of major sites. I wasn't able to find any stats and am surprised no one has researched this.

> I did not realize that some gay men also watch straight porn. To make matters more complicated, I also know straight women who watch gay porn. I'm sure there's a lot of crossover, I simply meant to point out that (taking the top estimates of all our sources) roughly 10% of men are gay, 20% of gay men watch porn and 50% of straight men watch porn. That is thus 2% of all men in the gay porn category and 25% of all men in the straight porn category. With the market for straight porn being more than 10 times bigger it would surprise me if gay porn made up 10% of the total. > There definitely are harmful misogynistic norms in gay pornography, too. The more you look out for it, sadly the more such norms are perpetuated almost everywhere. It's increasingly becoming an elephant in every room. Thanks for recognising it! > I wasn't able to find any stats and am surprised no one has researched this. Same, let's hope more will be done.
