I must admit to being a bit of a porn aficionado. Now, I don't think that in-and-of-itself is all that odd. However, I was recently informed by a male friend scanning my rather large collection that it's just not normal for a straight girl to have so much in the way of gay male porn. I had to correct him because it's not just gay porn, a lot of it is bisexual porn (which is my favorite when done right).
I got to thinking about it and I really don't see how it's all that strange. I find men attractive. Therefore, I like watching hot men fuck. So why would I *not* like watching them fuck each other? And of course, it's even better when there's a girl in there getting her fair share of the attention because then there's room for the imagination to roam a bit more. There's just nothing better than being in a tangle of arms and legs with two hot guys who aren't the least bit concerned about whether their tingly bits happen to touch. (And any girl who has ever been DP'd by two homophobic guys can tell you just how annoying it is to have to keep her own hand between her legs just to keep the guys from accidentally rubbing against each other. It will kill all the fun of that gloriously dirty play very quickly!)
When I was a teenager, I spent a lot of time in gay clubs and at the gay park in the closest big city (which wasn't all that close). It was a great place for me. I was usually the only girl there and most of the guys were gay. I could dance with whomever I wanted, let them grind against me, grope me, kiss me, and not worry about how far away I was from my male friend who came with me. And the bathroom experience was...well...an eye-opener. I learned more in that coed bathroom than I could have learned from years of straight sex. To say it made me doubt my own oral skills would be a bit of an understatement! So, I paid attention and then got the best I'd seen to talk me through it with my friend one night. Every man I've loved since has wanted to send a gift basket to him for being such a thorough teacher...
Don't even get me started on the first time I saw a man getting his salad tossed! It started this little spark inside me that would become a puckered love story for the ages that has made every man I've loved since beg for my hand in marriage...but I digress.
I think the gay porn market is missing out on some huge growth potential. I know several straight women who buy almost entirely gay porn. Of course, it's a matter of finding the right porn that's sometimes difficult. Personally, I like fairly masculine guys. And I'm not really into some of the more shall we say *intense* scenes. (Like if it involves rubber gloves and a bucket 'o lube, it just hurts me to watch!) However, it seems that the more hair a man has on his chest, the more likely the porn is to involve a lot of really hardcore stuff. That makes it difficult selecting the right movies. And where gay or bisexual porn is concerned, you really don't want to buy the wrong thing because it costs twice as much as straight porn or lesbian porn. I suppose they pay their talent more, but if the production companies would lower their prices just a little, it would probably bring in a lot more revenue when all was said and done.
Most hetero porn has become so couples-based that it's more like watching Showtime or Cinemax than porn. So something tells me that a lot more straight people (women in particular) are going to start gravitating to gay porn. Maybe it's the taboo factor that appeals to me. Or maybe it's like revisiting my youth. Or maybe I'm just weird. Or all of the above...who really cares? Where sexuality is concerned, anyone not residing somewhere in the grey area is just going to get bored/boring very quickly...
