As a trans person, you’re wrong. Sexuality and gender identity are completely different.
Agreed, they are completely different things. BUT, one thing they
do have in common, which is the ultimate point I was making, is that they’re both things which are
not chosen. And being a porn star or screen star who is just performing in an acting role which may characterize aspects of those identities doesn’t equate to that performer actually belonging those identities.
Obviously you’re part of the problem if you don’t see how the gay for pay archetype, which is closely linked to masc for masc (which is really MASK for MASK since a lot of it is to do with shame and people not wanting to know they’re gay.) hasn’t heavily influenced how gay men see each other.
Look, you don’t know me, so you don’t get to generalize me as “part of the problem”. I asked legit questions requesting clarification of how gay for pay hurts people, I never once stated that I am pro gay for pay. I could really care less how a performer wants to sell their sex. But, I also don’t think gay for pay is so prevalent as to ruin the industry. Seeing as how most performers in gay porn are actually gay or bi, not straight. So those gay and bi performers are really who define, shape, and mold the industry, not the handful of GfP guys.
Go ask a power bottom if he’ll fuck a woman on camera for hours just to get a small piece of change.
I personally don’t care enough to ask anyone that question, but I do know for a fact that money talks. You offer a hypothetical power bottom enough dough if he’s willing to plow a pussy, then you can bet you’ll find one who will for cash. The thing is though, the gay porn industry pays male performers more than the straight porn industry does. So that’s why the power bottom we are talking about is hypothetical, because he’s always going to earn more in the gay porn industry by virtue of being a male performer. Thus, such a situation you put forth is unlikely to ever happen. That’s the thing about the sex work industry, people are more so in it for the cash they can earn as opposed to the sex they can have.
Can we get back to talking about his cock already? Jesus fucking Christ.
Agreed, I’m over it. I didn’t intend for this to become some drawn out thing, but seems someone really wants to argue and have a moral tirade. If they really wanna discuss how they think GfP is a bane to gay culture and the gay porn industry, then they can start up a new thread in the appropriate section. I for one will not be bogging down Danny’s pic/vid thread with anymore of this discourse.
