The Center presents Bigger Than Life by Author Jeffrey Escoffier
Reception 6PM, Program 7PM, $10
Join author Jeffrey Excoffier and legendary porn filmmakers Wakefield Poole, Jerry Douglas, Bob Alvarez and Chi Chi LaRue as they discuss the history of the porn. Hardcore porn – both the straight and gay varieties – entered mainstream American culture in the 1960s and 70s as the sexual revolution swept away many of the cultural inhibitions and legal restraints on explicit sexual expression.
Bigger Than Life follows the history of gay porn from the early days of beefcake in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco to the introduction of hardcore in the golden age of gay sexual freedom in the 1970s, through the crisis of AIDS in the 1980s, up to the Internet in 1990s.
