Dian Hanson - Lesbians for Men - Taschen - 2016 - English - 288 pages - Hardcover - 31x24cm

Heterosexual men have always had a thing for lesbians, or rather, for essentially heterosexual women who are willing to perform with other women for their viewing pleasure. When a man sees two women together, there is no jealousy that another man is getting the woman he can't have, as in heterosexual porn, just the pleasure of everything he enjoys times two, and the unfaltering fantasy that such wild women would surely invite him to join in.

Yes, it is unrealistic, but that doesn't make it any less popular, and photographers have been documenting these faux lesbian pairings for over 100 years. Lesbians for Men is the first photo book that acknowledges that such photos are created to awaken the male fantasy, in which the reasons are explored and the origins are traced from 1890 to the present.

More than 300 photos, in black and white and color, celebrate the willing women who have kissed, touched, and fulfilled the lesbian desires of men, in images made for both pornography and "fine art." Contemporary photographers include Nobuyoshi Araki, Guido Argentini, Bruno Bisang, Bob Carlos Clarke, Ed Fox, Ren Hang, Petter Hegre, Richard Kern, Will Santillo, and Kishin Shinoyama. The subjects range from simply affectionate to everything two women can do if they want to please male viewers just as much as each other.
