In this episode of Demystifying Gay Porn, we take on three of the more challenging—and ultimately insightful—stories we’ve explored: filmmaker Christopher Rage, his notorious film My Masters, and the complicated life and legacy of Scott O’Hara.
Together, they offer three very different perspectives on gay adult film history, from Rage’s provocative approach to filmmaking and the extremes of My Masters, to O’Hara’s evolution from performer to writer, publisher, and outspoken observer of sexuality and gay culture.
These weren’t always easy subjects to unpack, but looking at them together reveals a fascinating side of the industry and the people who helped shape it.
