A tour of the involuntary homoerotic cinema that has been key to our sexual awakening.
«I didn't discover my sexuality with a school friend, nor with a summer love. I discovered my sexuality with Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China».
This is how it begins Cine Crush: Involuntary Homoerotic Cinema in Our Sexual Awakening, the essay with which the journalist Popy Blasco check out some of the erotic myths who made us discover our orientation through a bunch of commercial films that, in memory, are presented as unintentionally homoerotic.
The book covers hundreds of titles starring idols brimming with philo-gay eroticism, invisible to the heteronormative eye; legendary actors and characters who, while arousing admiration in some, aroused desire in the LGBTQ+ community.
In addition to establishing the differences between LGTBIQ+ cinema and homoerotic or philogay cinema, Popy Blasco offers us an exhaustive review of many of the movie and television stars that have marked the generation boomer, generation X, the millennials and Gen Z.
