A tour of the involuntary homoerotic cinema that has been key to our sexual awakening.

"I didn't discover my sexuality with a schoolmate, or even with a summer fling. I discovered my sexuality with Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China ."

Thus begins Cine Crush. Involuntary Homoerotic Cinema in Our Sexual Awakening , the essay in which journalist Popy Blasco reviews some of the erotic myths that led us to discover our sexual orientation through a host of commercial films that, in memory, are presented as involuntarily homoerotic.

The book explores 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 film and television stars who have marked the boomer generation, generation X, millennials and Gen Z.
