+ BenjaminNicholas Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 It's not that they haven't tried. It's just that it probably hasn't sold as well. Guys don't watch porn to see themselves. They watch it to watch the unattainable. The fantasy. That's what porn is: A highly unrealistic, hyper-visual, fantasy-driven medium. This sort of marginalized porn has usually been shoehorned into a fetish category and as much as I'd like to see society evolve, it's not realistic to think it's going to change anytime soon. The gay community is mega progressive in regards to our rights, but we heavily inner-discriminate if someone doesn't fit within a classic frame of beauty. uclablueyes, Njguy2, + Pensant and 9 others 4 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! but at least porno now is way more diverse than in the 80's and 90's.

marylander1940 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Magazines for straight men and women have relatively embraced body positivity. Please report this video if it's too political for the forum. I don't think that's the case even though the commentator is a well known conservative.

BuffaloKyle Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Since a good majority of porn now isn't studio made anyway you can find literally anything you want out there.

+ KensingtonHomo Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I prefer more average and diverse-looking guys in porn. Similar to what advertising and porn have done to women, gay men constantly pressure each other to appear like the statue of David (or better). It's very unhealthy for us, individually and collectively. marylander1940, soloyo215 and Jamie21 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ purplekow Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Sexually, most men are visual. While it would be nice if suddenly senior, fat, bald men with an off beat sense of humor and a quick mind were suddenly the new big cock, I am not waiting for my turn at the desirability brass ring. If you want to see the male equivalent of the magazine covers above which promote body positivity, you can find that. But don't expect them to be big sellers no matter how sexy the movie turns out to be. Sure they may be an initial breakthrough movie that catches the eye of everyone, which has reached the tipping point for some reason, but beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but like porno, I cannot define beauty (though it has a lot to do with symmetry of facial features) but I know it when I see it. pubic_assistance, + Pensant and + sf westcoaster 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloyo215 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I didn't know I was in the minority in this. I do watch fat, out-of-shape men as much as others. If I like the guy and/or what they do, I watch it. Can't care less about they looking like or unlike me. Maybe the way I approach my sexuality is not all about physical attributes. And I refuse to believe that I am alone in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoDrew Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 My tastes have changed over time. I've gotten bored of the hairless, perfect bodies of studio porn and have found myself gravitating towards more amateur stuff. I think my changes in providers may head in a similar direction. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Suraci Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Yes, I think there is plenty of room for body positivity and representation in gay porn. The content doesn’t need to appeal to a majority to be successful. There’s a market for just about everything. Good porn will sell. I don’t watch as much porn as I used to, but when I do, I enjoy relatively healthy looking everyday people. By that I don’t mean morbidly obese bodies which has its own fetish category online, but people without abs, people who don’t look perfectly symmetrical, a variety of different dick sizes…hairy, smooth, tattoos, no tattoos, all ethnicities, and different ages. Basically I like the guy next door you find somewhat attractive until he is naked on his knees sucking cock, and then he’s really appealing. Maybe for me it’s the relatively attainable that makes it so much more plausible, and therefore more real and more arousing because subconsciously I am thinking “This could actually happen”. Then again, I watch the conventionally attractive gay porn actors too because that stuff is so widely available. I also enjoy fantasizing about the unattainable, but it gets boring. I access the mainstream curated stuff because it’s so quick and easy to find without much thought. Given the choice in my better moments of more intentional consumption, I prefer well made non-studio porn with performers who don’t necessarily make the cut of the studios’ narrow, aspirational, fantasy body look standards. Amateur stuff and fan sites appeal to me because the content is more focused on the performers doing what they personally love, and working with others they enjoy. Chemistry and authenticity is way hotter to me than a chiseled feature or a well proportioned body part.
