When do you think gay porn studios will change their terminology, specifically bareback and breeding? Those terms seem to be becoming outdated. First it was "pre-condom" for movies before AIDS, then once they felt it "safe" new movies were labeled bareback (some even say "condom-free". Breeding then became the term for when the top shot some or all of his sperm into his lover. But to me breeding is what cattle do or dog breeders (pun intended).

So my thought is the following changes:

Bareback becomes "Natural", which applies to either straight or gay porn. Natural implies that there is no artificial barrier between the two partners. It also implies that the two are naturally attracted to each other (yeah, I get it, it's porn) but they are following their natural instincts.

Breeding becomes "Insemination", which implies that the entire load of sperm is deposited inside the bottom/woman. Keep "cream pie" as it reflects that the cum is not injected.

So many changes have been happening in gay porn. I'm just wondering if these might be next.

Great ideas! I'd like to see a suitable replacement for wife beater. Love the shirt, especially on others, but I know the name needs to go. A-shirt, tank, and the Brit vest just don't seem to do it justice.

What is kind of funny is that insemination is actually the clinical term for ‘breeding’. It literally means the egg was fertilized. Personally I prefer the term breading as it seems less clinical to me. But to each his own. It’s just semantics.
I would prefer better filming and capturing of the ‘insemination/breeding’ regardless of what term is used to describe it.

Who knows? Unlike technical, clinical or legal terms, there is no actual regulation on the use of language for porn. I think it most likely responds to demand, with algorithms that register numbers of searches, downloads and shares, not so different to those employed by social media. If anything, consistent terminology would make it easier to find any preferred kind o sex act.

Well, more or less. "Insemination" can indeed mean fertilization, but tracing back its etymology, it comes from the very universal metaphor of "planting a seed" (from Latin 'seminia' -> 'inseminare'). Likewise, the word sperm comes from the Greek word for seed. In that sense, the metaphor can be applied very specifically to the fusion of gametes, like with artificial insemination (aka in vitro), or more generally to the act of a male depositing his seed inside his partner, usually, but not necessarily resulting in fertilization.

In any case, both breeding and inseminate should in theory refer to the same act, but the increasing use of 'insemination' in gay porn, seems to be a response to the liberties taken with the use of 'breeding,' which annoyingly often appears on videos where the top pulls out before cumming. So, since the term breeding became misleading, my guess is that the specific act of internal cumshot (another term sometimes used) is now being referred to by its clinical term. That said, I do like some mix of informal and clinical terms, and it all comes down to personal preferences. For example, I prefer cock or dick over penis, and breed over inseminate, but on the flipside, semen turns me on more than cum, and testicles more than balls.

yeah I'm not a fan of "breeding" it's corny to me. but some people find the concept sexy and necessary. gay porn and queer culture is riddled with outdated and provincial terms. especially when it comes to gender and race. I have to do a lot of compartmentalizing when watching porn lol.

My take on all this is to allow the one producing the “film” (video, porn, pornflick, et cetera) some freedom of movement. It becomes redundant watching the turgid male penis at climax inside the anus of the recipient of his ejaculate. Variety is the spice of life.

The term "breeding" is one I object to as it actually suggests that by filling a guy's ass with cum he can re-produce! Surely breeding is to make more?
(or do those who use the term think that we, the watchers, presume the anus has become the vagina and so all things are possible and men being humped by young studs could become mothers, or twinks being humped by studs b become breastfeeding mothers?)
