SALINAS HERNANDEZ, Héctor Miguel. Gay porn made in Mexico. Cuicuilco [online]. 2011, vol.18, n.52, pp.225-249. ISSN 0185-1659.

This paper aims to present an overview on the pornography produced in Mexico by and for the male gay community, in the fields of video and film. It is based on the hypothesis that the possibility of creating gay pornography in Mexico is incorporated into the visibility gained from its inclusion in the Sexual Dissidence Movement on a global scale and facilitated by this market as the dominant element in the globalization process. This document presents some theoretical approaches to pornography and its genres, as well as presenting an overview on the international porn industry, with a special emphasis on the North American market; it presents a brief history of gay porn and examines the context and the evolution of Mexican gay porn and its relationship with the visibility achieved by, and through, the movement of sexual dissidence.
