In the middle of the 1970s, the porn industry emerged in France, tolerated by a liberal government and regulated by new legal provisions. Since then, French pornographers have presented themselves as fantasy entrepreneurs: in their view, their professional role is to capture and respond to consumers’ various desires. This largely male-dominated trade has a gendered and sexual organization: women are excluded from the market, and there is a clear split in the industry between gay and straight porn. Although pornographers present this divide as being obvious, Dr. Trachman argues that it must be seen as a choice. As “lesbian” scenes in straight porn show, this exclusion concerns only male homosexuality. While pornographers highlight the distance between their own sexuality and the fantasies they put on screen, gay scenes remain an exception.
