Recent years have seen the increased popularity of so-called ‘Daddy porn’ catering for (and creating) an interest in the older man and the mature body as a site of erotic fascination. The advent of the Internet has created conditions in which a diversity of types and modes of representation can proliferate alongside an exponential expansion (and bifurcation) of the market. One of the functions that gay pornography performs has been to articulate ideals of sexual desire, and alternative bodies and modes of representation have often been relegated from view or situated as abject. This essay discusses the author's experience of researching gay pornography over a 20-year period between 19 alongside an analysis of the contemporary re-emergence of the mature male as figure of sexual interest in gay pornography.
