On the subject of PhDs in Queer History/Theory/whatever, I once met a guy who was finishing up his Queer Theory doctoral dissertation on bathroom sex as studied using "observer/participant" methodology.

I knew of a gay guy who was doing graduate "research" on porn, using his own porn career as material. I remember seeing part of his work where he was inserting one of those rubber toys with different-sized balls in his ass. I'm sure he made great contributions to our understanding of . . . dildos.
