#Straight and gay male porn stars tumblr series#
They’re characters in series (assuming they have more than one scene). Even more than main-stream actors, porn stars are an image.
So, obviously, we can’t base what a person actually likes sexually from what they do in porn. When was the last time a porno showed some guy fumbling with a condom, trying to get the package open? Or a guy apologizing because he’s gone soft? Or two people really close, pressed together without room for a camera to capture the angle? It’s not real sex. Few people have sex the same way that porn shows it. Yes, I do mean they aren’t having real sex. It’s never been anything but people who are acting like they are having sex.
Why does everyone think he/she KNOWS a person’s sexual likes/dislikes just from watching the person in porn? Such stars are born and a rare breed in the gay porn industry today, but many have achieved stardom and honoured as gay or bisexual men … with many allegedly “straight” men of gay porn not achieving the same high-ranking status in the fantasy world of gay porn! Some gay porn actors have achieved only one film wonder stardom, while others with the help of skilled, talented and experienced directors and high-ended studios had star dust sprinkled upon them, with talented and delicious men as Tommy Defendi, Jimmy Fanz, Steve Cruz and some others making their way up the stairway to stardom and have attracted respect as gay porn actors with the help of good directors. The point I am making is that, today, many gay porn actors do not come without credentials other than the crown jewels hanging between their legs as their talent and passport to pursue longevity in the industry, and when you see some with such short histories, with many having been in the gay porn industry for less than a year. Eric Ryan but also attributed to as being bisexual (though most of his porn career focussed on gay porn and like so many of the time, he too succumbed to AIDS in 1993 – who also appeared as Craig Ambler and Houston – and was a model (Craig Holt) for Icon and legend, Kensington Road and Bruce of L.A studios.
I know being allegedly “straight” in gay porn films is nothing new. Both had pedigrees and talent that helped them as gay porn star, but they were both born stars and did not come out of a packet like cornflakes! Not even Jeff Stryker as a star had the same charisma as well founded and respected bisexual gay porn actor, Jack Wrangler. You have to earn your stripes to become a star. You do not drift, sleep with the director and say to the case, “Hey, Darlings, I have arrived” and have the dust of stardom sprinkled on you. Wakefield Poole used Casey Donovan as he had come with impeccable credentials as a mainstream actor and model … and was genuinely gay man about town in New York despite having been born a country boy. The notion today that having made your début, you are a star in your first film is for most both absurd and ridiculous to the point of madness. Star status IMHO is when you have given years of service to the industry, won awards and been honoured in some way for your contribution … and that does not mean being an overnight success at the “box office” sales as purely a money maker (although important for the industry to keep their greasy poles well oiled), and when |I read someone is a Superstar, I have to belly laugh to the point of it being painful, as there is only one Superstar … Casey Donavan … as without his entrée into the gay porn industry Boys in the Sand 1 (1971), along with co-stars, Danny DiCioccio, Peter Fisk, Tommy Moore and non-sexual part played by Ed Parente produced and directed by gay porn pioneer and major film maker of his time, Wakefield Poole (who never considered himself to be just a porn film maker, despite many people believing he was). I just don’t buy into their dream and fantasy.īisexual men have long appeared in gay (and allegedly “straight”) porn films, and that is only just about acceptable for a purist, and bad enough with some men damaging the image of the gay porn industry when they claim not to be gay, with a whole Brigade of “Gay for Pay” performers also thinking they are stars (reserved for the best), or even worse superstars. What is it with some porn actors having VERY close and personal sexual relationships with other men in film and in real life as “Hustlers” and “Escorts” believing they are STRAIGHT? Is being gay the NEW STRAIGHT, and should all gay men now be identified as straight.
