Sex and the City has since gone off air, but the phenomenon of women enjoying gay male erotica hasn’t left the public discourse. As it turns out, only the latter part of that sentence holds true almost two decades later.īritney and Justin were the couple of the decade, puka shell necklaces were a truly essential accessory, and women all over the country were watching gay porn. Britney and Justin were the couple of the decade, puka shell necklaces were a truly essential accessory, and women all over the country were watching gay porn. The film in question was “Jox and Cocks 4”, and based on their enthusiasm once Carrie pushed play, I just assumed this is what women did.Īs with most things I learned when I was in my early teens, I didn’t question it. In a 2002 episode, the women get together to watch what Charlotte has been led to believe is an indie movie - and, well, depending on who you’re talking to, she wasn’t wrong.
The genesis of that awareness? I’m a child of Sex and the City (and also a child of parents who were blissfully unaware that I had HBO access in my bedroom). Well before I was watching gay porn myself, I knew that women were watching gay porn.
