As the gay porn industry is reaching new heights of popularity and glamour, new terms like ’twinks’ are coming in use. With the advent of popular culture of gay porn, homosexuals are being able to find new ways of discovering their sexualities. The people associated with the porn industry take special care while making gay porn material. They keep in mind that it should be erotic enough to lure a homosexual to his original self. Porn is a medium through which people have accepted the existence of homosexuality and have stopped regarding it as a mental illness. Previously, the gay culture was not at all brought out in light and the people who wanted to come out and face the reality were taken to mental counsellors stating that the condition was just a phase and would pass away soon.
The makers of gay porn videos have kept in mind to divide the genre into further subdivisions. Viewers have the full liberty to satisfy their sexual needs. Researched based studies have shown many circumstances which are favoured and much craved by the homosexuals or bisexuals. The videos are made in such a manner that each special quality of each actor is highlighted well and draws a big part of the mental attention. It has been found that the gay men, who did not accept the existence of homosexuality, have spent several moments browsing the internet for gay porn and have ultimately ended up being porn addicts. The advent of good quality gay porn happened in the 1990s when studies started to prove homosexuality as a normal nature of human beings. Along with straight couple porn videos, gay porn also caught the limelight and due to the suppressed feeling of the homosexual population, it became much popular and became a material of demand.
Porn subcategories feature titles like “Boy next door”, which by its name denotes the softness and submissive nature in a guy that is waiting to get revealed by a dominant counterpart. Many a times, straight actors are made to enact gay scenes and this too is a craving for many viewers. Being a straight man can fetch more money for an actor when he shoots a gay scene. A campaign called “gay for pay” had started in the adult film industry. Under this campaign, a straight man would get involved in a gay scene on camera to get paid in large amounts. Many experiences shared by people have also revealed that actors sometimes get homophobic on the sets of the film, which is much detested by other members of the crew. The increasing popularity and audience have nurtured gay porn to get highlighted in the world of adult films and are considered to a business which produced good amounts of money. With the advent of porn, people have gathered enough courage to come out and stand for their self reality instead of depriving themselves of the basic right of choosing suitable partners to spend their lives with.
