Four Reactions to “Gay For Pay” Porn: Which One Are You?

As expected, the feedback to our latest update has been all over the map. After filming these types of scenes for over a decade now (yikes, I’m sounding old lol), I’ve noticed that the feedback tends to fall pretty predictably into the following four types of reactions:

The Haters:

These are the people who despise the entire “gay for pay” genre and can’t understand why anyone would ever want to watch a reluctant straight guy having awkward gay sex for the very first time. They only want to see experienced and passionate sex between eager gay and bisexual guys, and usually act like every other porn viewer should feel the same way they do.

(Of course these same people complaining about the straight guys being too stiff, uncomfortable, quiet, awkward, blindfolded, etc. are always the first and loudest to let everyone know “they knew all along,” “he was gay from the start,” etc., etc. if/when after months or even years of hard work and patient persistence, we’re lucky enough to persuade the guy to do more).

I understand and respect those who dislike this type of porn, just as I do those who ONLY enjoy these types of scenes and wish we’d quit working with gay and bi models altogether.

But unless you just discovered BBA for the very first time last week, please stop acting all shocked and appalled that we’d even dare to contemplate producing such a scene, like it’s some of kind scam or outrage to you as a customer. Most of you know perfectly well this is one of BBA’s original and most iconic themes, and one we have no intentions of abandoning any time soon. So please just relax and take comfort in the fact that we feature a wide variety of models and themes here at BBA from one week to the next.

The UN-Realists:

These are the impatient viewers who CLAIM they want to see straight guys doing “gay for pay” porn, but have wildly unrealistic expectations about what straight guys will and won’t do right out of the gate.

You can’t ask for porn starring authentically straight black males and then turn around and expect them to be passionately tongue-kissing, sucking dick, and/or getting gang-banged by their third scene, LOL. That’s just not how this type of thing works, and demanding otherwise is both unfair to the models and the authenticity of the genre. Which brings me to the next group….

The Deniers:

These are the skeptics who claim it’s ALL just scripted and faked, the “straight” guys are just gay actors presenting a staged fantasy, all the scenes just follow the same predictable scripted formula, blah blah blah.

Of course these critics conveniently ignore the countless examples throughout BBA history of straight models who never end up doing anything more than a solo “audition,” or depart from this alleged “formula” by progressing in an unexpected and unconventional order (Scotty and Shaun, for example), or freak out and disappear before ever “going all the way.”

Armando Back Tease

Seriously, don’t you think if these guys were just gay actors and it was all planned out in advance, we would have seen Armando aggressively fucking some tight boy-ass by now, or Miguel with gobs of cum dripping from his disgusted face as the hot straight boy bottom in a bukkake, or best of all, the much-requested epic flip-flop threesome starring straight “homeboys” Shaun, Scotty, and Trapp?!?

I always tell BBA’s skeptics to just look at our many “failures” to better understand and appreciate the REALNESS and significance of our stand-out successes.

Thanks for the enthusiastic feedback from so many of you in response to my recent scene with Bandit! I’m thrilled and flattered to hear that so many of you are enjoying this scene.

To those of you complaining about me appearing in a very relatively small handful of BBA’s scenes, I fully understand that these types of scenes will ALWAYS be controversial and unappealing to some. It would be ridiculous for me to expect these types of scenes to turn on every BBA viewer, and I totally get and respect that seeing me in the scenes will inevitably disappoint and even repulse many viewers.

What I find to be hypocritical and annoying, however, is when people take this criticism to the next level by acting like their personal disgust is universally shared, complaining about me sadistically “subjecting” them to these scenes, and basically demanding that I cater to their more conventional tastes with every scene that I post.

Believe it or not, there’s a large and passionate audience for these types of scenes. All you have to do is skim the blog and website comments to see that there are MANY viewers who not only don’t share your aversion and disgust, but actually ENJOY this type of unique and taboo content! Like it or not, literally thousands of people all over the planet have been busting hot “nutts” to me popping Bandit’s cherry within the past 48 hours.

Those of you criticizing my body and looks are COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT. I’m not suffering from some kind of delusion that makes me think I’m the next Brad Pitt or God’s gift to gay porn, LOL. I don’t take any of these insults personally because I’ve never claimed to be anything other than a pale, average-looking, out-of-shape, balding, corny/nerdy white guy with a relatively small/average dick who happens to have an incurable “black boy addiction” and decided several years ago to share that addiction with my fellow addicts 😉 . 

In other words, you’re not SUPPOSED to find me attractive, and the CONTRAST between my age and looks with those of the models is kind of the whole point, LOL!

bba_banditbendsover_header4

I’ve proposed a theory several times on this blog in the past that those who most viscerally despise my “dirty old man” scenes tend to be “bottoms” or “versatile bottoms” while those who enjoy them the most tend to be “tops” or “versatile tops.” Because at the end of the day, porn is primarily about a process of IDENTIFICATION and living vicariously through the performers on the screen.

So if your main interest as a porn viewer is watching hung, attractive “tops” and picturing yourself in the place of the lucky “bottoms” being fucked by them, then nine times out of ten you’re going to dislike seeing me in the scenes. On the other hand, if you are primarily IDENTIFYING WITH and envying rather than lusting after the “top,” these types of scenes will be much more arousing and appealing for you.

For those open-minded viewers with a sincere interest in better understanding why I film these types of scenes, below is a re-post of my reflections on this topic from a few years ago, attempting to explain the reasoning behind these types of scenes and their place in a long history and popular genre going back decades in both gay and straight porn:

headerTop-FEB16-4A
I just wanted to take a moment and respond to the recent complaints from several of you about my participation in some of the scenes.

BBA has always featured a wide variety of models and themes. In an older blog entry, I compared my diverse collection of movies to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

I realize that this variety can be frustrating for viewers who only enjoy one type of scene or another. Some people love the interracial and “gay for pay” scenes but think the black-only scenes are conventional and boring. Other people enjoy the black-only scenes but think my interracial scenes are unappealing and even offensive.

At the end of the day, everyone has different tastes and I am never going to be able to please every viewer all of the time!

Noah's Ass
Anyone who’s been following my work from the very beginning knows that one of BBA’s basic themes has always been the taboo fantasy of an older white man exploring his “addiction” to younger black males….and more uniquely, his addiction to young black male ass (“white men need ass too!”).

As I clearly advertise in the site’s preview area: “If you’re turned on by the idea of an older white cameraman enjoying the ripe young bodies of his black-boy models, I’m confident you’ll enjoy my movies!”

Wanna Fuck My Black Ass?
Now I can certainly understand and respect that these types of scenes are not going to be everybody’s cup of tea. My interracial scenes always have been and always will be controversial. The recent comments left by some of you on the blog are actually pretty mild and tame compared to some of the hostile things I’ve heard over the years.

The REAL “Dark Side” of Gay Porn

I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to share a reply to my recent post defending the many “good” people working in the porn industry today. Many of you brought up some very interesting and thought-provoking points, and it’s such a refreshing change of pace to see an intelligent and civil conversation taking place about such a complex and controversial topic.

HarlemBrotha’s comment summed it up perfectly and really gets at the heart of the matter, in my opinion. The real issue here is that sexual desire and pornography, and to an even greater extent GAY sexuality and GAY pornography, are still repressed and severely stigmatized by mainstream society and it’s these anti-porn and anti-gay attitudes that create the REAL “dark side” of gay adult entertainment.

I have witnessed firsthand the ridicule, mockery, harassment, judgment, and even threats of violence suffered by porn performers, in many cases by their own so-called “fans” and GAY PEERS, and this ignorant behavior has caused more emotional damage and psychological harm than a dozen “sleazy” producers combined ever could.

When this anti-porn, anti-gay climate drives individuals to the desperate extreme of inflicting violent harm on themselves or others, it’s a hell of a lot easier to blame the “evil” producer than look in the mirror at the ignorance, harassment, and in some cases downright hostility and threats against these young men from their own families, friends, churches, and neighborhoods.

In the past, I’ve used the analogy of a hate crime. If a gay person gets beaten up or even killed as part of a hate crime by people who see that person leaving a gay club late at night, we wouldn’t blame the VICTIM for being gay, or the owner of the gay bar for providing a safe space for community and self-expression. The blame lies solely with the homophobic assholes who chose to gay-bash an innocent person.

In the same way, pornography itself is not the enemy here, but rather the pervasive ignorance and homophobia that even in the year 2016 makes parents disown their own children, casually condones and even celebrates violence against GLBT people, and breeds so much fear, insecurity, and self-hatred in so many young black men in particular that some feel driven to the extreme of either killing themselves or others when they are exposed.

I hate to paraphrase the popular NRA slogan, but the truth is that porn doesn’t destroy lives, PEOPLE do. And if you truly care about the well-being of your favorite “porn stars,” stop ridiculing them on social media or when you see them out at the clubs, quit exposing them to their friends and family when you see somebody you know, and most importantly, start speaking up to challenge the hypocritical “slut-shaming” and homophobia in your own communities.

The more normalized and accepted that homosexuality and pornography becomes in society, the fewer suicides, overdoses, and tragic murders we’ll have to read about involving “porn stars” and producers.

Website Update: Corrupting Cortez

Corrupting CortezWhile I take some time to regroup, recruit, and get back into the full swing of production again after a brief hiatus due to the recent website redesign, I’m returning to BBA’s roots this weekend with a digitally remastered and much-requested re-release of an early BBA classic that hasn’t been available to BBA’s viewers for over five years.

Don’t miss the controversial interracial scene that inspired the BBA logo and was one of the first to explore the theme of cocky straight black boys reluctantly compromising their “manhood” for cash.

If you like your thugs slim, young, and cute, looking like they’re barely out of high school, you’re going to LOVE Cortez. I swear this boy’s body doesn’t have an ounce of fat! Cortez looks a little bit like the rapper Mos Def’s cute younger brother. He carries himself with a cocky, “I know I look good” swagger, and after seeing what’s hanging between this boy’s legs, I sure as hell don’t blame him! His heavy, low-dangling balls will also have you drooling in no time, and his tight, high-arching butt is damn near flawless.

Between short-lived jobs with fast-food restaurants and temp agencies, Cortez sells drugs and is always looking for ways to make the most amount of money with the least amount of work. He spent most of last year locked up on weapons-possession charges, and now spends most of his days drinking, getting high, fucking “bitches,” and playing “Spades” with his “homeboys.”

Every time I approached Cortez with the idea of doing anything with a guy, he always turned down my offers with the kind of confidence and certainty that had me ALMOST convinced this was one straight thug who was NOT for sale! I finally grew so desperate to get my hands on Cortez that I offered him nearly TWICE what I paid Jay for his scene in “Every Straight Thug Has A Price” (which was ALREADY an outrageously high amount)! Even then, Cortez initially refused. It wasn’t until several weeks later that I got a call from him late one night, telling me that some pressing financial problems had finally changed his mind.

This video captures every erotically charged minute of Cortez’s “corruption” at the hands of an older gay man. It is over a FULL HOUR of “gay for pay” porn at its bleak and wicked best, and NOT for the easily offended!

Website Update: Whether He Wants It Or Not

Legacy and Michael Galletta
“Every man loves the thrill of the hunt.” — Saint

I’ve been wanting to get my horny hands on Legacy ever since he was just a cute black teen trying amateur porn for the very first time almost three years ago.

For nearly three years, Legacy has turned down my advances with nothing but contempt and disgust, swearing that a scene with me is something he would NEVER in a million years ever do! “Lhh that’s never gonna happen,” he replied in one of his texts. “I don’t care how much money you payin’ me!” One time he even called me a “cracker” and proudly declared that he was one BBA model I would NEVER get my old white hands on. Of course this only fueled my lust for Legacy even more 😉 !

Even after having to fire him for being one of the most difficult models I’ve ever worked with – including QUITTING at least two of his shoots – part of me has still always wanted to sample this cocky and seemingly unattainable black boy for myself.

So when Legacy recently swallowed his pride and contacted me out of the blue, telling me that he’d “reached hard times” and needed some work, my sadistic side couldn’t help but try to find out JUST HOW FAR he’d be willing to go in order to repair the bridges he’d burned….

Website Update: Lapdance With Benefits (Part Two)

Freaky J Gets Fucked

In September 2009, Freaky J became an overnight sensation on YouTube with his erotic striptease and sexy dance videos.

With his slim, toned physique and strikingly handsome face (he’s a mix of African-American and Puerto Rican) – not to mention the infamous “monster” swinging between his smooth, skinny legs – Freaky J has seduced and entertained countless females and gay men all over the world with his dance, jack-off, and straight sex videos, as well as private engagements all across the country as a male stripper and exotic dancer.

Freaky J has never appeared in anything but his own homemade videos – until now!

After patiently pursuing him for OVER FOUR YEARS, I was finally able to talk this sexy straight Blatino stripper into making his long-anticipated “gay for pay” debut here at Black Boy Addictionz….

Freaky J Interview
The Official Freaky J Story
provided loyal fans and new viewers alike with an intimate and illuminating look at the real person behind the amateur videos as Freaky J shared his story with the world for the very first time.

Freaky J: The Next Level brought you the YouTube celebrity and exotic dancer in his very first hardcore sex scene with another guy.

In this third and final installment from his recent BBA visit, Freaky J takes things one freaky step further by showing his gay and bisexual fans what an intimate one-on-one show with him might look like if you paid him enough!

Like many of Freaky J’s fans, I’ve always wondered just how far this sexy straight stripper might be willing to go in a “private engagement” with a generous client. So when I finally flew him here and met him in person, I couldn’t wait to put this question to the test!

Freaky J Lapdance
In Part One, Freaky J treated me to an erotic lap-dance and gave his fans an exclusive sneak peek of one of his hot private shows. We also got to witness more exciting “firsts” for the married straight stripper, such as him kissing another man, getting his ass licked, and SUCKING DICK for the very first time.

Now comes the shocking conclusion that will be sure to have everyone talking as the YouTube celebrity and exotic dancer finally gets his CHERRY POPPED by Michael Galletta and takes a hot, messy “nutt” all over his face!

Horny Black Boxer Demands Special “Room Service” From Cute White Bell-Boy (Vintage Illustrated Erotica From My Personal Collection)

Although this blog is primarily devoted to my videos, from time to time I like to share random bits and pieces of gay erotica that have inspired my sexual fantasies and in some cases even influenced my own pornographic imagination and ambitions. If you’re a fan of my videos, I’m guessing that means we probably also share at least a few of the same fantasies, fetishes, “types,” etc., so hopefully some of you will enjoy these posts as well.

A few months ago I discovered Oliver Frey, an artist who created countless works of gay illustrated erotica during the 1970’s and 80’s, and I knew instantly that I’d stumbled upon one of my true erotic soulmates. The guy is an erotic genius if you ask me. His illustrations are breathtaking not only in their generous attention to detail, but also their ability to use a kind of visual shorthand to tap directly into some of my deepest and most intense erotic desires.

It’s truly uncanny how many of his recurring sexual themes and fetishes overlap with my own: younger guys, older guys with teenagers/younger guys, historical themes, rough sex, seduction/coercion, first-times/virgins, interracial, ass-eating, etc. Looking over his many works, I find myself wishing I had his talent and freedom to create erotica unencumbered by the pressures and limitations and logistics of real-life amateur porn.

Controversial Porn: Part 3

Michael Galletta and Day Day

Awhile back, I shared a few thoughts about the potentially “controversial” nature of some of my interracial videos (you can read my original reflections here and here). A blog reader recently posted the following reaction, to which I’d like to respond:

Let’s put it this way: if you were not CONSTANTLY putting your models in subservient, some would say demeaning, and most specifically positions that are demeaning such as feeling their faces and shoving your hands into their mouths as if you were inspecting them like a prospective slave buyer or doing that whole “Look at me! I’m a white guy pulling these fake thugs asses apart” thing that you do that have nothing to do with “topping” as a sexual position, then your furious blizzard of words above might hold more weight.

You compare yourself to other studios, but this is as PERSONAL to you as much as it is a business.

I’m even tempted to give you the benefit of the doubt that YOU don’t believe that you are engaging in racially informed/offensive behavior (despite your upbringing) but then your whole business is racially informed, is it not?

You have your fans who will defend you, including your models. Nothing new there. But seriously, you need to objectively stand back and look at how you actually behave in your videos. I’m not asking you to stop making videos. Only to more closely examine that heartfelt self-justification you made.

I don’t expect this to be published on the site. But then it doesn’t [have?] to be.

 

Here are some of my initial thoughts in response:

I actually have no problem recognizing the controversial and potentially offensive nature of some of my interracial videos. That was sort of the whole point of those entries: to acknowledge the negative reactions that some of my videos may provoke, but at the same time point out the hypocrisy, inconsistency, and unfairness of those criticisms (in my opinion).

You suggest that I like to put my models in “subservient” positions, and you describe my videos as “demeaning” and reminiscent of slavery. While you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, I’d like to point out that those are purely subjective, debatable value judgments on your part. Some people will watch my videos and find them similarly disturbing and offensive, while others will see no problem with them whatsoever. Each viewer is going to evaluate my videos (and porn in general) through the filter of his or her own personal experiences, prejudices, and subjective erotic tastes.

The claim that some of the imagery in my videos reminds one of a white slave-owner inspecting a potential “purchase” is an absurd and unfair accusation, in my opinion. I guess by the same logic, any white man (or white woman, for that matter) who touches a black male sexually is similar to white slave-owners who felt up potential slaves on the auction block during the time of slavery. I mean, where do you draw the line when making arguments like that?!? Slaves were also frequently forced to strip naked as a part of such inspections. Am I also somehow imitating a sadistic plantation overseer when I instruct my models to take off their clothes for their solo scenes?!?

How Gay Will He Go (Mild) - Part 1
Listen, I’m all for recognizing and redressing the legacies of slavery, both social and economic. But I think we head down a very slippery slope when we start seeing echoes of slavery in every interracial encounter, both sexual and non-sexual. If we want to pursue such statements to their (il)logical conclusions, I suppose we could also say that white supervisors barking orders at black employees is also reminiscent of slavery. Or black waiters and waitresses serving dinner to white married couples at the local “Applebee’s.” Or white men coaching athletic teams in predominantly black neighborhoods. In fact, one could argue that any time a black person has sex with a white person, regardless of who’s doing the penetrating, it’s similar to the days of slavery. In my opinion, arguments like that are usually pretty stupid and pointless, and they ultimately distract from the very real and persistent racial inequalities we should be talking about.

The overall point I was trying to make in my original blog entries was that things like objectification, domination/submission, conquest, seduction, etc., are universal themes in pornography. If one enjoys and approves of such themes in erotica, then it’s not fair to cry “racism” when those same themes are explored in an interracial context.

Controversial Porn: Part 2

I see that my previous post provoked quite a few passionate and thoughtful reactions (as I suspected it might). I want to thank those of you who took the time to respond, and for keeping the conversation at an intelligent, thought-provoking but respectful level.

I don’t want to digress TOO much into a serious intellectual debate….this is still a PORN BLOG after all 😉 !

But I would like to elaborate on my previous post and try to explain in a little more depth who I am and why I’m making the types of videos that I am (something I will continue doing through this blog in the weeks and months to come). Some of this will echo what’s already been expressed by others.

Let me begin with the obvious: I LOVE BLACK GUYS 😉 !!!

Young, MASCULINE black guys in particular. I’ve been sexually attracted to black males for as long as I can remember.

Unlike a lot of white guys with similar attractions, I’m not a “size queen” with a fetish for “big black cocks.” My interest in interracial sex is not motivated by any sense of racial inferiority OR superiority.

I’m not seeking out the thrill of breaking a social taboo just for the sake of doing so.

It’s not even primarily an “opposites attract” kind of thing, an interest in something “exotic” or “different,” although I do enjoy the physical contrasts between black guys and white guys (hair texture, skin complexions, lips, asses, noses, etc.), and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with acknowledging or enjoying those differences in an erotic context.

I realize that nobody’s sexual desires can be attributed to ONE cause, but I do think the origin of my attraction is fairly simple and “innocent.” I grew up as one of the only white kids in predominantly black neighborhoods, so by the time I started to figure out at a pretty young age that I liked boys more than girls, most of those same-sex desires were directed at my black friends in school, church, and the neighborhood, sort of by default.

We can probably all agree that sexual desires formed in one’s childhood and adolescence are almost impossible to change later in life. It just makes sense that my original objects of lust (and in some cases, LOVE) continue to attract me well into adulthood.

As I started to explain in my previous post, I’ve also been obsessed with straight males for as long as I can remember, and a variety of related erotic themes including seduction/corruption, prostitution, economic coercion, resistance/reluctance, etc.

I’m also really turned on by themes of domination and submission. I’ve never gotten into the “S&M” or “leather” scenes. In fact, what I consider “domination” and “submission” is usually comically (some might say PATHETICALLY) tame in comparison. It’s basically just me being, for the most part, a “Top”….in terms of my sexual attractions and preferences, at least. (I like to joke that I was born with the desires of a “top” but the dick of a “bottom,” LOL!).
 
I love getting head and I love fucking ass. Few things excite me more than looking down at a cute boy giving me head, or lying with my naked body smashed against a hot young stud on his stomach as I thrust my dick deep (okay, as deep as I’m able, LOL) in his butt. I love finger- or dildo-fucking a tight young ass, and I love “nutting” on a hot guy’s face. I even like getting a little “rough” from time to time. By that I just mean grabbing a guy’s head while fucking his face, maybe slapping his ass while fucking him, nothing terribly kinky or imaginative I’m afraid. I’m actually embarrassingly awful at “dirty talk,” however….some of you might already have noticed this in my videos 😉 .

[Of course I also have a submissive side, and I’ve enjoyed that dynamic in interracial sex many times as well, moreso in the past than recently however. I *DO* suck dick in most of my scenes, although I don’t think I’m particularly good at it!]

There is NOT, however, any kind of exclusive or causal relationship between my attraction to black males and my interest in these themes. All of the “turn-ons” described above are just as much a part of my erotic fantasies/desires involving white boys, Latino and Hispanic boys, Thai boys, Japanese boys, and just about any race/ethnicity you can think of. I chose to focus on black boys (and hopefully a few Latino/Hispanic boys) primarily for two reasons:

First, they’re probably my preference (mostly for the reason I explained earlier).

Second, I thought I could bring something at least a tiny bit original to the world of amateur black porn. For example, most all-black scenes, even the more “amateurish” ones, don’t take their time and let you get to know the models. And obviously gay interracial scenes featuring white “tops” with black “bottoms” are incredibly rare (although I feel like this has been slowly changing over the past couple years). ESPECIALLY where the black “bottom” is a MASCULINE gay or bisexual boy, or a straight guy going “gay for pay!”

I can understand how the imagery in some of my videos might disturb or offend some people, black guys in particular. If you fit into that category, all I can do is encourage you to avoid my videos for the sake of your own mental and emotional peace. Or better yet, ignore the stuff that turns you off but stick around for the hot all-black content I still plan on producing!

But you know what??? For every guy who tells me that my videos are racist, exploitative, offensive, etc., I hear from at least ten others (including MANY black guys!) who think they’re hot as hell and say they can’t wait to see more!

At the end of the day, porn is almost always going to involve some degree of objectification and “exploitation.” That’s even a big part of its appeal, the idea that beautiful young men (of ALL races) are willing to show off their bodies and perform sexual acts (with varying degrees of enthusiasm) in exchange for a financial reward.

I also think that porn is one place where it’s OKAY to be a little “politically incorrect.” If you really think about it, porn (both gay AND straight) is all ABOUT stereotyping, racial and otherwise! It’s a medium that sort of demands such simplification in order to grab the viewer’s attention with a basic but powerful fantasy.

Burly firefighters, dumb blonde twinks, horny frat-boys, submissive Asians, lusty Italians, the list goes on and on. And yes, it also includes the “dangerous,” super-hung black thug from the “hood.”

In my everyday non-porn life, I can take my “political correctness” to extremes that annoy even my most liberal friends. But I feel like porn is one arena where we should all relax a little bit and enjoy the enormous erotic potential of character types and social stereotypes (as well as “twists” on those stereotypes).

Dragon is a hell of a lot more than a “schoolboy,” and Shyne (or Cortez, for that matter) certainly doesn’t fit neatly or consistently into the “thug” category. But my title isn’t meant as an insult to their complexity as human beings! Rather, it’s a fun and catchy way to understand and enjoy their video!

Similarly, domination and submission has always been a big part of both straight AND gay sexuality, and certainly it’s always been part of what makes a lot of straight and gay porn so hot. Seduction, conquest, sexual domination, rough sex….they’re present in just about every type of porn I’ve seen, including straight porn (interracial and non-interracial), lesbian porn, all-black gay porn, non-black gay porn, etc., etc.

Granted, there’s a wide spectrum ranging all the way from cutesy-cuddly-boyfriend-porn, to ultra-violent S&M torture-porn. But there’s almost ALWAYS at least a common theme where one or more participants is seduced, conquered, enjoyed, used, dominated, etc., and the other participants get to seduce, conquer, enjoy, use, dominate, etc. the submissive partner.

This is why things like gangbangs, double-penetration, face-fucking, and “facials” are such popular and predictable elements in porn. I don’t believe that gay sexuality is ALWAYS like this, or that it SHOULD always be like this, but in PORN it usually is. And I’m fine with that!

But as I see it, one either has to be fine with the dominant/submissive, top/bottom dynamic ACROSS THE BOARD, or oppose it altogether. You can’t pick and choose.

It can’t be “okay” for an aggressive black top like Thugzilla to verbally humiliate and fuck the shit out of submissive white bottoms and then NOT be “okay” for an aggressive WHITE top to do the same with black guys.

It can’t be acceptable for studios to pay straight young WHITE boys to go “gay for pay” in the enormously popular “frat boy” and “military” genres, but “racist” and offensive for studios to do the same thing with straight young BLACK guys.One shouldn’t assume racist or otherwise suspicious motives every time a white guy “tops” a black guy any more than one should assume that all black guys who top white guys are anti-white, or black men who fuck other black men want to demean and humiliate their own race, or straight male porn-stars who fuck (and even dominate) women are misogynists.

I hope this better explains where I’m coming from! And don’t worry, I’ll be back with more PORN tomorrow!
