What a pity. He used to be extremely handsome.
 

 

 

 

Arad is only a top in films. AFAIK, no forum members met him as an escort.

I mean, most of you hire pricy scorts several times a year. How are y'all?

I just turned 37 and feel like gay porn from 2000's (early and mid 2000's especially) was better compared to the one we see today. Not sure if the fact that I was discovering my sexuality back then plays a role, or perhaps I'm also getting this impression because the movies were just less accessible in those years? Thoughts please.

2001???
 
I watched gay porn for the first time in like 2002. There was this XXX channel showing a movie once a week. It was so damn hot...
 
When I came to America I used to watch porn at the peeps shows near Times Square. I wasted a lot of money back then. There was also a lot of guys waiting to hook up at those places but I was never aware of it until someone told me, lol (I was so socially awkward back then).

I guess I see all sides. As some one who came of age in the 80s there have certainly been many changes over the years. I've always had a thing for vintage porn (like 60s and 70s). I agree that it's fun to have so much variety and so many niches catered to today. I personally don't mind tattoos so much unless they're facial. For me a handsome/cute face is one of the most important things. I also appreciate that you can create a high resolution video with very basic equipment these days. Webcams and cellphones have made it so easy for everyone to broadcast or record themselves

@nycboi Marcus Iron was considered exotic because of refusing to wax his chest.
 
 

 
Colby Taylor was considered geeky...
 
Colby Taylor hard!
 

 

Exactly porno beauty was more traditional stardom in porno has been redefined. A beard was unthinkable, otters inexistent or waxed. I think Raging Stallion and also Titanmen started changing it. The Falcon look as it was called back then might still reign but doesn't dominate.
 
Btw I love onlyfans.com not that I don't appreciate a good scene with a sexy plot.
 
The Falcon look
 
 
 

Maybe I just happen to like more the porn stars from the 2000's and not so much the ones from today?
 
Ryan Bones, William Seed, Rogan Richards... umm those are the only ones that come to my mind now from this era.

The only thing I don't like about porno now is so many guys inked.
 
Fortunately there's more diversity now in porno. In the 90's and 2000's all the guys were jocks with a perfectly waxed butt and tanning line. Not that I don't like guys who look lime models but now we have otters, cubs, hipsters, daddys, twinks, guys next door, geeks and makes it more fun at least to me...

What's good about porn from the late 1980s and early 1990s for me: Generally clean shaven and no tattoos and a lot of good looking men. What's bad: Most sex seems scripted/highly directed.
 
What's good about porn today, particularly if we are talking about performer released porn on Fan websites: More passion/genuine sexual chemistry. What's bad: Production values (not always, but sometimes bad lighting and camera angles); too many tattoos; since everyone can make porn if he wants, there are a lot more performers who look downright unattractive as far as I am concerned.
 
I don't think I have any specific porn memories of the early 2000s, but I'd say it had a lot more in common with the 1980s than today.
 
If forced to choose an era, I would definitely choose more recent porn because at least I can find a lot of hot scenes after I weed out the guys who look ugly to me. A lot of old porn is just boring. I can just imagine being a hot guy paired with another hot guy but then some unattractive director is interrupting the sex repeatedly to adjust positions, camera angles, etc. That completely ruins the flow of porn most of the time.

I'm also 37. Men's grooming and body styles change with time. Look at the mustaches and perms from the 70s porn! Today, porn stars are covered in tattoos which are mostly not attractive to me. I definitely dig the grooming and body styles from the 2000s. There's other aspects, too; like directing styles and what makes money differently as technology changes. But I'm more turned on by the body types and grooming styles predominant in the 00's.

Even though I'm 37 also, I wouldn't call porn from this century "old school". There's plenty of good porn out there older than that!

Nevermind.

this guy right here.

Gaydar may be good at reading gay guys who send off a particular set of vibes, but the real question for me is whether it can pick up, with 95% accuracy, all gay guys. How many gay guys go under the gaydar because they don’t put off the vibes?
 
If gaydar is 95% accurate in the cases that put off vibes, but say only 75% of gay guys put off vibes (being generous here), that means out of 100 gay guys, you’d only identify 70ish%.

My father picks out gays perfectly. He simply says every guy is gay. Of course, he has a very low success rate in the straight category.

My gaydar was pretty good even in my late teens, when I detected that a few kids I knew were going to be gay even though they didn't know it yet. But it works best when most of the guys around me are straight. I think it has something to do with sensitivity to slight differences from the norm.

My gaydar is good when it really counts. I remember a cute neighbor who had only male visitors. We knew each other.I was sure he was not gay, but he might have been bi.
 
He was married to women before we met and after we lost contact. But, he was single for the 12 years we were friends.

It's telepathy! Actually, after watching (part of) this video, I was wrong a couple of times. Take a look and guess which one of the twins (pictured on right) is gay:

Mine only works in gay bars.

My kids have better gaydar than I do

Mine tends to be a little overinclusive. Wishful thinking, I suspect.

Hardly think about it. Here in San Francisci, there's no need to read people, so the skill becomes dormant. I spend a lot of time in the South Bay, which is much straighter environment and I still don't think much about it. The south bay drives me crazy because there are good lookin' Latin men everywhere you look.
