Although the porn world has as many kks, fetish, and nich as there are stars the sky, there are perhaps few as perplexg as “gay-for-pay, ” an extremely lucrative and popular gay porn genre that’s exactly what sounds like: straight men havg sex wh each other or other gay men for a hetero perspective, ’s a b difficult to unrstand the appeal of gay-for-pay, part bee there’s really nothg analogo to straight porn: While straight men might have a spicn that the two bored, long-taloned lbian porn stars half-heartedly strokg each other’s breasts might not actually be lbians, the fact that ’s two women havg sex superses how nvcg their performanc are.

For gay-for-pay fans, the appeal li at least part the fact that the men’s performanc aren’t nvcg; they’re turned on both by the fact that they’re watchg two men havg sex, and by the fact that those two men aren’t actually turned on by each this reason, gay-for-pay prompts a lot of qutns om people outsi the dtry: Why are the ostensibly straight men havg sex wh each other?

Through reflectn, I arrive at the ncln that the time was right for an agg twk performer to be hened-up by a transn to bareback; siar transns of which have bee wispread across the gay porn landspe the years that have ticked over sce the 2015 Johnny Rapid Go Bareback event and our prent day (see Brennan, 2020a)—due to the wispread mastreamg of bareback mercial gay porn, which has been buoyed no small part by advancements HIV preventn technologi.
