This paper analyzes Dian Hanson’s 2008 publication The Big Penis Book as a cultural artifact within the history of erotic publishing. It examines how Hanson, a former editor of Leg Show and Penthouse Variations , curated a visual archive of male nudity from 1950s–1990s adult magazines. The paper argues that the book subverts traditional gendered power dynamics by presenting the penis as an object of aesthetic appreciation rather than ridicule or threat. Using Laura Mulvey’s concept of the male gaze in reverse, the study explores how the book’s large-format, high-quality presentation grants the male nude legitimacy within art photography contexts.
Imagine a lifestyle where the rigor of academic study (the Santillana approach) is applied to the history of entertainment and erotica (the Hanson approach). This is a lifestyle that refuses to separate "high art" from "guilty pleasures." It suggests that to understand the human condition, one must study not just the wars and the politics (the history books), but the pin-ups, the physique magazines, and the underground entertainment of the era.
