Autopornography (Haworth Gay & Lesbian Studies)

Autopornography (Haworth Gay & Lesbian Studies)

In this provocative book, retired porn star Scott Oâ€™Hara (known as â€œSpunkâ€ by many of his fans from an early punk photospread) gives a backstage look at the world of pornography, revealing why he loved it, what he got out of it, and why he left it. In an autobiographical style, he considers and poses answers to some fascinating questions: What is sex? What makes a porn star? And why does pornography really upset people?

Youâ€™ll really get to know this noted gay porn star as you get a firsthand look at his life experiences and sexual journeys from his boyhood days of locker room fantasies and sexual experimentation to his years as a porn star and then to his experiences as an individual facing the realities of being HIV-positive. As Oâ€™Hara puts it in his Introduction: â€œThis book was written as a last-ditch effort: a way to open up all my closets, let you in on all the dark corners of my life, and give you a better picture of what goes into the making of a porn star. Because if thereâ€™s one profession that arouses peopleâ€™s curiosity, itâ€™s that one.â€

As you read through the pages of Autopornography, youâ€™ll see how Oâ€™Haraâ€™s personality reflects his sexuality, that is, how they have melded into one. His vivid descriptions of personal relationships (with family, friends, lovers, and casual acquaintances) and his many sexual encounters as he traveled the world reveal his love of sex and his desire to live without inhibitions, secrets, or sexual constraints. Reading Autopornography may cause you to reexamine your own sexual boundaries, realize new sexual potential, and discover sexual desires not previously aroused.
