r9 I do understand that point. There's very little exploitation in gay porn, especially now that OF has largely taken over from the porn studios. For something like that that, you'd need to go all the way to Russia – some of their older twink porn and especially any prison porn is highly exploitative. It's like night and day compared to straight porn where most of the money goes to the big producers who traffic women from all over the world.

r13 The world of gay porn is bigger than TIM Studios, and even they don't do those epic meth gangbangs anymore (sadly). So you might have an outdated impression of that scene.

by Anonymousreply 18May 28, 2025 1:15 PM

I've posted this story multiple times in these threads which pop up every few years.

Yes, I know lesbians who enjoy gay male porn. I became aware of it almost 20 years ago when the topic somehow came up during a night out. This was 2 lesbian couples and 2 single lesbians, and all admitted that they enjoyed gay male porn as their favorite "genre" of porn. Again this was 20 years ago so I don't remember the full conversation but I was impressed by their knowledge. They knew specific porn stars and had favorite studios.

None were regular consumers of porn but "dabbled." These ladies weren't flicking their beans nightly to any form of porn, but when they sought to "spice things up" it was gay male porn that they always went for. The gist of it was that "lesbian" porn was awful, either fake lesbians with fake nails, breasts, tans, etc. that were clearly performing for the male gaze, and "real" lesbian porn featuring actual lesbians for a lesbian audience, which all of them agreed was just awful to watch.

They avoided straight porn because it's degrading to women, but landed on gay male porn because the sexual politics and gender dynamics of straight porn are absent. They all said something along the lines of "it's just hot sex and it looks like so much fun for the performers." I was struck by both their cerebral analysis of the "politics" of porn as well as their emotional connection to the performers. Even though they all knew these were performers putting on an act and that the portrayals were likely to be entirely artificial, it mattered to them that they appeared to be enjoying themselves. None of it felt forced, even if they knew it was "acting." I think that says a lot about how women consume porn and the differences with men in that regard.

Men are very visual, sexually. I simply can't watch a woman having sex and get off on it because I'm not attracted to women. But women are both more emotional and more intellectual in their relationship to porn. It seems less about the images and more about, as the kids say today, "the vibes."

Make of this what you will.

by Anonymousreply 24May 28, 2025 1:59 PM

I think the entire point of lesbianism is that you're women attracted to women, but female sexuality is generally more complex than 1+1 =2. Women generally have a more fluid sexuality, and women of all orientations report a higher incidence of same sex attraction than men. In other words, women are more open to expansive concepts of sexuality rather than rigid identity-based expressions.

Interesting R5 and R19 - I was going to say - why not watch lesbian porn?

But I could totally see it being two bleach-blonde, overly made-up 'straight' women performing an act for men. Yet there has to be SOMETHING out there that's not so male-oriented and fake?

Tbh, 80% of porn is fake - even the gay ones. But there are real moments in gay porn when it looks like both of them are really liking it - probably faked to, but I believe it more in gay porn.

Every straight porn I've seen, I feel like the woman is counting the $$ in her head and just going through the motions. Perception bias probably but based on reality.

R19 - I don't doubt your story at all but...

[QUOTE]They avoided straight porn because it's degrading to women, but landed on gay male porn because the sexual politics and gender dynamics of straight porn are absent

Yeah, I have to make sure the sexual politics are right before I can cum.

To go a bit serious though, I think some parts of gay porn is semi-exploitative. Look at all the gay for pay stuff, getting "straight" military guys to suck each other off etc. I don't for a moment believe any of them are straight, but that illicit thrill is part of what turns a lot of people on, the fantasy of converting or seducing a straight man.

I also think there's a rather misogynistic / patronising view that women in porn are being exploited and are not sexually confident, in control of their own lives people. If I didn't look like I do with a perfect face for radio and voice for mime I'd love to do porn. But no one is ever going to pay to see me have sex.

There may also be a different component - which is seeing men being 'vulnerable' in sex and being the receptive partner. Also seeing them show affection to one another.

Male vulnerability and male affection is extremely rare - and I have to think there's a part of that which is triggering for homophobic straight guys.

Outside of dominatrix type of straight porn - when are men vulnerable? Even the dominatrix stuff isn't quite the same because the men get off on it and want it.

It's not clear - but I do think a lot of straight women get turned on by the idea of pegging their straight male partners. I'm glad to see that's more of an acceptable thing now and not weird / gay.

Get a clue: that view is embedded in a lot of the straight porn itself. Sadly there is a huge straight male (and straight teenage boy) audience for porn in which women are degraded, used, fucked roughly, choked, etc. And some of it is less than consensual — in terms of why and how did she come to be doing this porn scene — and in some cases “less than consensual” is an understatement.

by Anonymousreply 33May 28, 2025 2:59 PM

R31 I think you're on to something here. Over the years I've occasionally gone down the rabbit hole (sic) of straight pegging porn. I've found it fascinating that the woman (wife, girlfriend) actually seems to enjoy the activity. She gets aroused seeing the "dominant" male surrender to being penetrated, taken.

So perhaps there is a throughline from a wife facilitating the submission of the male to lesbians seeing one man surrender to another man's pleasure.

Lots of women get their "rocks off" watching gay porn. A straight friend of mine explains it thus: "I love men and I love watching them have sex." Straight men love girl-girl porn as we all know, and while many gay men get off on straight porn, few if any are turned on by lesbian sex.

R35 - straight women watching gay porn makes a ton of sense - they may even pick up a trick or two that they'll never see in straight porn. Guys in straight porn usually do the same stuff - usually VERY aggressively.

I feel bad for women who have to deal with young guys who copycat porn. I've been with a couple of gay guys like that - and it's fucking ridiculous - I'm like - this isn't a PORNO! Seriously - the cliche porn talk, the oh yeah, oh yeah - the over the top everything.

This article appears to have first been published on Prick News a couple of years ago. It's a wonder why they're republishing it, especially with the recent change in attitudes towards this kind of "queer" stuff.

She's an example of how free access from a very young age to online porn has fucked people's minds up (and I don't mean she's fucked up because she enjoys watching gay male porn but because of the article as a whole, if you actually read it, and her twitter stuff).

[quote]Around the age of 13 I gave into the urge to explore porn. I had all this pent up sexual energy and my midnight search escapades felt too good to stop.

The one thing she doesn't appear to have much experience of is actual sex with another woman (or even with a man). Perhaps that's why she ends up so lost in her fantasy porn world. The apparent other lesbians she claims also enjoy watching gay male porn also seem to have little experience of lesbian sex, or any sex.

She also doesn't necessarily find gay male porn hot but it's supposedly a non-threatening form of porn that she can watch as a queer, or some shit like that.

[quote]Watching male on male porn allowed me to feel safe and be sexual without addressing my distaste for cis hetero men and my nervousness around my attraction to women. And whether you are a enby lesbian, a bisexual twink or femme queer, gay male porn will continue to offer this safe haven for many years to come.

It's sad that watching porn seems to be the closest she can get to being sexual. She also doesn't appear even to masturbate to this stuff but literally just watches it.

I would add to R33's response that this impression is also based on numerous first-hand accounts from female porn performers of how, as young, naive, and inexperienced women, they were lured into the industry. There are countless stories of women being drugged, beaten, forced to engage in certain acts against their will, raped, and so on. (Straight) porn is practically a byword for exploitation. As for "sexually confident, in control of their lives people": a huge number (disproportionate to the general population) of porn performers were victims of child sexual abuse.

My first, completey unscientific and based on nothing, thought was that the reason she or any lesbian might be aroused by watching gay men is that there is an underlying misandric sentiment coupled with homophobia.

These women have bought into the notion that gay men are less "real" men than straight men. Coupled with their hatred of men (while many lesbians are fantastic people, there is a militant minority of manhating lesbians), they enjoy watching men being "degraded" by having sex with other men.

Not to hijack the thread, but there's a group on Reddit "I just like the porn" - where it's STRAIGHT guys who post gay porn.

So that's kind of related - some lesbians and straight men who aren't normally attracted to men watch gay porn too.

I don't think of gay porn as being 'elevated' - so much of it is cringey and OTT - but maybe it's edited differently or has a different feel?

R56 "If a straight man says he loves to watch gay porn, would you still think he's straight?" - apparently so. It's was the #7 searched for category among straight men in 2015. I'd have to think it has stayed or increased since then.

Part of it could be curiosity. Also the focus is obviously on male pleasure - not just male gaze/perspective. Some of them could be partially bisexual. Some of them could be gay. But a lot of them are still straight.

I don't find a lot of gay porn to be all that so it's a head-scratcher for me.

It would be interesting to dive into the data more from that 2015 Pornhub article - we know that gay porn is searched for at higher rates in red states. That's just a fact. If they dove down at the state level, I think we may find that Utah has a lot of 'straight' guys watching gay porn.

Anyway, men are horny as fuck and straight men are fucking disgusting, too. So yes, I can see a straight man being curious about fucking a male asshole and getting off to gay porn. There's also the homophilic/homoerotic nature of male sports, where men will obsessively view and comment at length about another man's physique adoringly, and the dominance culture that permeates male spaces that easily translates to "top/bottom" dichotomies in gay porn.

It's not really that much of a leap.

If you're as porn-saturated as some of these ostensibly straight male porn consumers are, sooner or later you're bound to get curious about, and move on to, some of the more (to them) "exotic" categories out there. That's the nature of porn addiction. They don't necessarily need to be attracted to the performers; the illicitness and taboo of the acts (in their eyes) is a turn-on in itself. Look at some of the Japanese stuff out there. If it's more than an occasional side dish, there 's something else going on.

R14 R19 Gay for pay is a huge market and if you think the gay porn industry hasn’t taken advantage of the destitute, drug addicts, men desperate for money, you’re mistaken. The straight fantasy is literally based around taking advantage of straight men.

The whole “straight guy seduced for cash” fantasy thrives on power imbalance. People just don’t mind watching men get sexually exploited—especially if they’re attractive and it’s framed as consensual. It’s still exploitation, but it gets a pass because it’s happening to men.

And something a lesbian would have no issue with.

R59 Men are more sexually fluid than they’re given credit for—partly because they’re hornier. While women are often seen as the more sexually progressive gender, especially when it comes to bisexuality and openly appreciating female beauty, the truth is men engage in more sexually fluid behavior than society admits. The difference is that men are less socially encouraged to explore or talk about it, so it comes out through porn habits, secrecy, or fantasy rather than public acknowledgment.

Society rewards women for sexual openness while men are policed by masculinity and especially by women.

R73 Gay porn actually complicates the male gaze, not confirms it. The assumption that all male desire functions the same way (dominant, exploitative, dehumanizing) falls apart when you look at how gay men consume sex and beauty. A lot of feminist theories about the male gaze get debunked when you factor in gay men.

Another example? The idea that men are only attracted to youth because of power and control—yet gay men also idealize youth and beauty without the same social power dynamic as older straight men and younger women. Straight men liking younger women gets treated like patriarchal predation, but gay men liking younger men? Same pattern, different context. It’s not always about domination—it’s often about aesthetics, vitality, fantasy.

by Anonymousreply 77May 29, 2025 4:53 AM

That’s also why I question the brutality of straight porn. People assume it’s about male domination but that level of aggression is rarely present in gay porn.

So what if it’s not just the men? No one wants to talk about the fact that some female performers who are fucked in the head, which complicates the whole “oppressed victim vs. male aggressor” framework. Gay porn proves that men can enjoy sex without it becoming a battlefield.

We have OnlyFans now. Women have full creative control—they’re producing, directing, marketing, and choosing their collabs. So when you’re on Twitter and see a woman posting brutal porn, it’s not some patriarchal coercion. And what’s wild is, if you follow enough straight male porn stars, you’ll see they’re adapting their energy to match her tone. It’s not ALL men dragging women into violence anymore - sometimes, she’s leading.

Some of these women were abused growing up and fetishize it.

Straight men are not the dominant moneymakers of straight porn. They are not all controlling the content.

Years ago, I lived down the road from a long-term (30+ years) lesbian couple who were both professional photographers and who specialized in the Maasai tribe, which they spent many years documenting. Their bookshelves could have been mistaken for a more stereotypically gay male collection: lots of Tom of Finland, Bruce Weber, Pierre & Gilles, and even back issues of BUTT magazine. Not a Sarah Waters novel in sight, but I noticed Holleran, Hervé Guibert, Barthes. Their DVD collection included films from André Téchiné, Pasolini, Fassbinder, Ulli Lommel's "The Tenderness of the Wolves, and "Taxi zum Klo." I guess they just naturally gravitated toward gay male culture.

I'm a gay guy, but I have known straight guys who became actually transfixed at the image of Bruce Lee. My straight brother was one, but other straight friends tripped over their tongues trying to find the words to admire him. You can't deny beauty and physical perfection. I admire some females for their beauty, but it's never sexual. In the old days, I tried a few bisexual three-ways, and the touch of a woman's hand automatically wilted my dick.

R76 You know what’s actually fascinating?

That older straight women watch the most gay porn.

My theory is women are socially conditioned to see men as Prince Charming - romantic, loyal, marriage material. They’re supposed to wait to be chosen, loved, and proposed to.

But as they age, get divorced, disappointed, or just stop idealizing men, they start seeing men not as fairy tale saviors but as hot, dumb meat.

And gay porn becomes the perfect fantasy: no whining, no courting, no emotional labor, just two hot guys fucking. It’s liberation from the “good girl” conditioning. The same way straight men objectify women, some older women start doing the same by watching muscle dudes bang.

Where do these statistics about people's supposed porn habits come from? What's really funny is that men think women have much of an interest in porn. It's really a male thing and produced for men, not women.

R81 has zero idea about women's sexuality. Big dumb muscle dudes is not something that gets the vast majority of women wet.

R82 over 50% of women watch porn...not as much as men but plenty enough

Most recent Porn Hub statistics (lots of statistics). What surprised me the most was how many women watch porn. It was over 30% of Porn Hub viewing. "Lesbian" was the most viewed category by women.

How do you know over 50% of women watch porn, r83? Or even how many men watch it. How frequently do you believe women watch porn?

The sad thing is, this article gives the impression that "queer" youth are expected to watch porn and feel pressure to pick their own "favourite" category. All the while, seemingly not having much sex with other people or even masturbating.

Pornhub uses website analytics tools, similar to those used by other online platforms, to track visitor traffic, page views, and other metrics. They also track user behavior on the site, including searches, viewed videos, and time spent browsing. Some statistics may be based on self-reported information from users (are you straight, gay, lesbian or bi) which could be subject to biases and inaccuracies. I wouldn't say that it's 100% accurate, but it's probably the best source of this type of information tgat you can find.

They did not show that over 50% of women watch porn. Their data showed that over 30% of their viewers were women and that lesbian porn continues to be the most popular type of porn viewed by that demographic I'll take their word for it over the anecdotal opinion of a woman writing for Pink News.

Lesbians are insufferable.

You have LUGS (lesbian until graduation)

Hasbians

Lesbians obsessed with dick porn.

Lesbians who now identify as they/them, queer, non-binary

Annoying, patriarchy obsessed radical feminist lesbians who spend their lives deconstructing gender.

Lesbians who now identify as FTM.

Such a small group of people and yet so messed up.

Lesbians obviously HATE being lesbians for many reasons so why continue to use that label?

Just let it die out. You're obviously miserable without dick in your life.

R79 That lesbian couple probably stopped having sex a looooong time ago. When you met them, they hadn't had sex together in 30 years but I bet they were getting their rocks off to plenty of gay male porn. So typical.

One of my aunts was with her female partner for over 40 years. Her partner died last year and my aunt told me that they had sex twice and nothing after that.... for 40 years!!

Most lesbian-identified women aren't even sexually attracted to women which explains their ravenous obsession with dick porn.

I love love love all the gay men - most well north of age 50 according to polls here -- making pronouncements about women's sexuality. It's so hilarious.

No doubt these same posters would go ballistic if a woman came on DL making pronouncements about male sexuality.

And I'll be "accused" of being a woman (a frau or a dyke) in three... two...

R91 The thread is about a lesbian who just had to write an article about her love for gay male porn. So men started talking about what a WOMAN wrote.

Lesbians have been talking about their love for dick porn for decades but nobody is supposed to notice? Men aren't supposed to talk about it?

Fine, then STFU!!!

You're such attention whores and then when you get the attention you crave desperately, you yell PATRIARCHY!!

What's comedy gold is women claiming to be lesbians while having a gay porn collection that would put the sluttiest gay man to shame.

R88 not 50% but numbers (and there are several studies to get them from) vary between 30 and 40%. I would say you could call that quite a large minority.

by Anonymousreply 100May 29, 2025 3:09 PM

Can you link one of these studies, r100? As a woman myself and personally knowing many women, I find these figures hard to believe, especially since most women I know have jobs, partners, kids, households to maintain. I'm not sure where they'd find the time or space to consume pornography, at least any any meaningful rate.

I can believe that some women may check out pornography every now and then, but I'm less convinced that they are frequent consumers of it. Certainly not as much as the single gay men on Datalounge.

If lesbians want to be taken seriously then they need to stop talking about dick, watching dick porn or going back to dick.

Gay men be honest, how many "lesbians" have you known in your life who are still lesbian today?

Not many I'm sure.

Stop faking your lesbianism and people will leave you alone.

It's woman identifying as a lesbian who wrote the article we are discussing.

It's a woman identifying as lesbian who made the movie The Kids Are All Right which features two cock-obsessed dykes.

You are the ones bringing up the subject of lesbian watching gay porn but men aren't allowed to discuss what YOU are openly admitting??

No, I'm not a self-hating lesbian, just one of the rare logical ones who knows very well what goes on in the "lesbian" world which is btw disappearing because lesbians are busy getting their tits removed and re-identifying as FTMs. You see, it's always something. Lesbians hate being lesbian.

Lesbians always call someone they disagree with a MAN! "You can't be a woman if you say these things!" I've heard it a million times on a every single lesbian forum. Now only 1 is left I think - LChat.

The truth is when you spend your life around lesbians, it completely destroys your view of women. Everything homophobes and misogynists say about lesbians is true.

And I ask you, what did I write that isn't true? Name me one thing. Go ahead. I'm 46 and I've been out since I was 18. I know lesbians. Tell me what I wrote that you disagree with.
