One Man’s Sex Addiction is Another Man’s Art Exhibit

“Contemporary photographic representation of gay sex and gay recreational sexual identities” is how curator Chris Boot describes his new exhibit at the New York Photo Festival. And that’s really great, Chris, because “meta-defecatational codification of our contemporary intestinal interdiscursivity” is what we call the diahrrea we sometimes get from hangovers.

We’re all for pictures of fuckbuddies on leashes. And we love going to art exhibits, no matter what the content, to drink free wine and try to have sex with people. But this exhibit — “Gay Male Play” — is annoying to us. You already know how we feel about the word “play,” and photos of sexual gay men were barely provocative when Robert Mapplethorpe did it thirty years ago.
