ABSTRACT
Hamamoto had just filmed Skin on Skin, a fifty-minute porn that hoped to reclaim Asian American male sexuality from castration in American media. America had brutally emasculated Asian men, rendering them sexually undesirable even to their “yella womenz,” explained Hamamoto. By casting an Asian American man to play the sexual partner of an Asian American woman, he saw his project as an innovative way to fight the damaging effects of colonialism and racism upon Asian American sexuality.
