I suggest that one route by which a straight woman can experience porn is by watching some kinds of alternative pornography made for gay men. Still precious little porn appeals to a more or less straight female viewer. There has been a tremendous amount of lesbian and gay film and video in this genre - indeed, this work is what defines it. Independent filmmakers are producing a wealth of work that I would call alternative pornography: experimental works that engage with porn conventions to both arouse and provoke. In the following I would like to explore how this sort of voyeuristic looking happens in film and what its consequences might be for notions of subjectivity, identification, and ethics. Like many women, I have experienced the fag hag's special voyeurism at gay clubs and also at gay film festivals. In the clubs she can practice a dominant sort of look and enjoy the rare spectacle of a specular male.

The gay club scene provides a voyeuristic feast for a woman who wants to look at men or to learn to look at men without the implications of a look back.
