Gay Pulp Fiction

of the 1950's and 1960's

Adult Novels of Men in the Womanless World

Gay pulps offer a fascinating glimpse into gay culture of the 1950s and 1960s,

Probably the largest body of overtly gay writings of the time and cannot be ignored.

 Gay exploitation titles first started appearing in the 1950s, taking advantage of growing postwar gay visibility.

The number of pulps, including gay friendly titles, exploded in the 1960s for a variety of reasons.

Besides the increasing visibility, the courts also played a major role in changing the style of pulps being written.
