This book investigates what women enjoy about consuming, and in some cases producing, gay male erotic media�from slashfic, to pornographic texts, to visual pornography�and how this sits within their consumption of erotica and pornography more generally. In addition, it will examine how women�s use of gay male erotic media fits in with their perceptions of gender and sexuality. By drawing on a piece of wide-scale mixed methods research that examines these motivations, an original and important volume is presented that serves to explore and contribute to this under-researched area.
