Greetings friends! This is resident bad
girl, BLMorticia with another smexy post. This week, I’m stating my issues with
gay porn or make that, the industry in general. Now, as we all know, the sex
art industry makes money by the tons. Doesn’t matter if it’s gay, straight, bi,
transsexual, or even the “other” stuff that’s kinda gross, someone’s out there watching
it. Seemingly porn will never have the problems other industries have faced and
now with the new technology, porn is at an all-time high.
In a matter of minutes you can have all the
wank off art you want on your phones, tablets, computers, and laptops. Some for
a small fee or even free. That’s the best kind. *giggles* This leads to one
problem I’m sure has been discussed: Quality.
“BL, what difference does it make? Why
should I care about the quality of porn? I only wanna get my rocks off! I don’t
give a rat’s ass about quality.” Well damn, I do especially when I’m wasting
valuable time watching instead of writing or better yet, gettin’ my rocks off
without the help of technology. *winks*
So, you ask, what are the issues? Hmm, let
me think.
Little plot – Oh boy. I know I’ll be
crucified for this one. I’m not sayin’ you have to put together an academy
award winning script but I wish some people would put some effort into it. Make
an attempt to entertain me and get me off. There are a couple of flicks I can
think of that have successfully achieved this. One, a gay porn movie titled Focus/Refocus with my fave
former porn star David Taylor. The Acting? Not all that great but hey, they
attempted to make a real story. A noir too that was dirty and freakin’ hot.
Acting – Oh I know. They’re only porn
actors so they only need to be well hung or big chested. No skills required. Ah
this is even true in Hollywood. How many of so called “actors and actresses”
are pullin’ in the big bucks and aren’t very good at this? That’s a topic for
another day. Still, I’d like a little effort put into this as well. Perhaps a
drama class or two when you put together this, erm, script.
Settings/Background – *laughs* This is
funny. I’ve seen some porn done in beautiful houses or paradisiacal backdrops.
This means the porn directors spent a little cash. I’ve also seen the ugly
side. Someone’s basement or worse yet, some seedy bar on the wrong side of
town. *laughs* Oh this means I’m a regular watcher right? Yeah I confess.
*shrugs* How else am I gonna be able to write gay sex scenes? Can’t do the shit
myself. Well, I could if get two guys drunk and… nevermind. Back to the point.
I love a beautiful backdrop. Some of them are pretty simple too. Just clean
couches or beds some art on the walls, a place that looks like home, not the
local crack house!
Dialogue – “Ohh baby, right there… yea…” The
hetero version. “Fuck yeah, oh fuck, in my ass, ohh oh…” The gay version. Good
fuckin’ grief. I dunno, does everyone say the same thing when they fuck? No, so
why so porn movies have actors say the same shit through EVERY movie? I can’t
tell you how many times I’ve heard, fuck yeah in a gay porn. It IRKS me. Shar
asked people in the gay writer’s group do they really say that. LOL is it a gay
thing? Hmm… If so let me know. How about, oh yeah, right there, just like that.
Heard that then the fuck yeah. Fuck yeah? *rolls eyes* Just a little variety
would be good. Which brings me to my next point.
Music/Breathing or voices that don’t belong
to the actors – Otherwise known as vocal tracks. Why the hell do I need to hear
someone else’s voices or breathing when watching two men? I mean, you can’t put
a mic by them or somethin’? They can’t breathe or talk on their own? And the
music. Oh God, even in Focus, the music was like erm, awful. Yes I know you
can’t play sexy music from real musicians in porn soundtracks, I get it but uh,
the music created by keyboard or computers, fuckin’ annoying!
Oh that’s just the tip of the iceberg but I
don’t want to bore you. Don’t get me wrong, I love some porn, I really do, but
it’s a turn off when the above things are shown in videos. I also know you get
what you pay for. So if you pay nothing, you won’t get much. Unless you go to
places like Redtube or Pornhub. Yepper, there are some good ones there and
there are some horrible ones too. Recently, I saw one that made me take notice
immediately and spurred on a story. *winks* It even got me to write this blog.
*laughs* So it’s not all bad, especially when it titillates and inspires.
And I’m sure you’re asking did any of the
above happen in that video? Yeah, just one. The “Fuck yeah” but there was some
good to come out of that even though the one guy said he was a masseuse and
walked into the other man’s apartment, kissing him like he knew him real well.
*laughs* I digress.
Regardless, I do enjoy “adult art” and will
continue to watch it even with all its flaws. Hopefully someone will read my
post and ask me to direct one someday.
Ah a girl can dream can’t she?

Thx for having my wicked muse on as always
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great post, hun. It's always nice to have you here. xox
ReplyDeleteGreat post...totally agree and would like to add one other thing. I love gay porn, and I understand the bottom line is it's fucking, plain and simple. But sometimes, I would love to see some really nice graphic gay porn (with all of the above) and some love and/or affection involved. More so than what I've seen so far. There's dirty, and I like that, but there can be the other side of the spectrum too. (this opinion obviously comes from the gay erotic romance I read and write). Girlfriend, we need to grab a few good ones and make some movies!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharita and Blak, wonderful post!!
I know right C R? We do. The romance is missing in a lot of them
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. I like a little of both, smut and romance. A smutty romance? LOL Thanks for stopping by, CR.
