Semi-protected edit request on 26 September 2020

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please add the below new section after the '21st century' section as this is important emerging research on the gay pornography topic and helps balance the views of the article. I have included peer-reviewed references.

Sex Education

Emerging research has suggested that pornography is a possible source of education about sex and relationships. In the absence of inclusive same-sex relationship education in traditional sources (i.e., schools, parents, friends, and mainstream media), gay pornography may be used by men who have sex with men as a source of information about intimacy, while serving its main purpose as a masturbatory aid. ^[1] Contrary to popular views that pornography doesn't depict intimacy, a recent study showed that gay pornography depicts both physical and verbal intimacy. ^[2]— Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.84.174.8 (talk) 05:54, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gay pornography and gay erotica

Just like the article of Lesbian erotica where there is also a section for Lesbian pornography, this article of Gay pornography can have a separate section for gay erotica. Otherwise turn the article into Gay erotica with "pornography" as a topic of it just like Lesbian erotica. There are several articles on Wikipedia which contains topic about gay erotica. So, an article for gay erotica is necessary. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 15:31, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
