“It’s interesting that a significant number of straight men watch gay porn because it seems so unlikely,” explains Doctor Sam Miles, social science researcher at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. “Individuals in same-sex couples generally are more equitable in the ways in which they allocate domestic work, including childcare,” say Francisco Perales and Janeen Baxter from the University of Queensland. One argument is that same-sex relationships are aspirational as they don’t abide by traditional gender stereotypes.
Turns out there are three main reasons… 1. So why might straight men watch gay porn? We asked Radio 1’s resident sexpert, Alix Fox, alongside a raft of health professionals, ranging from doctors to wellbeing coordinators, for their thoughts. Some straight men like gay porn, others don’t! And you know what, that’s fine.Perhaps more confusingly, 24 percent of “straight” men have actually had gay sex, while 36 percent of “straight” women have had sex with another woman, according to the survey. So, what can be learned from the thread? Well, not too much. But holy crap man, a man giving a blow job is so awesome, they just know what theyre doing. Normally, though, I watch straight porn or girl/girl. I’m not gay, I just sometimes get this urge that says “watch a man rail another dude in the ass”. On rare occasion, I watch gay porn because my dick tells me that’s what I want to be watching. I like twinkish straight dudes.Īlso, I don’t care for anal. I only think of girls that way.Įdit: I don’t even like hunks or jocks in straight stuff. I only watch twinks.Īlso, IRL I don’t ever want to actually do anything sexual with a guy. However, straight stuff where both are active is the hottest thing ever.īut I don’t watch stuff with “masculine” guys.
It’s easier to find gay stuff with two active participants. The problem with the hetero stuff is that too often the women are just used as toys. I’m sort of a voyeur in that regard and just like watching gay, straight, trans, whatever. I’ve never had any inclination for a male outside of gay porn, I like many other guys here were totally grossed out by it and it became this taboo in my mind and then I decided to just watch one and saw that it really wasn’t so bad. I generally watch college vids, hazing type deals, straight for pay, nothing with kissing/caressing. I don’t like twinks or super swole dudes. It’s about 70/30 straight to gay watching. I don’t like watching sloppy, gaggy blow jobs and on the whole gay porn has much cleaner bjs at least from what I’ve seen. I find they are less fake about it most times, a lot less fake moaning and such … I just tend to find a lot of gay porn is relevant to my interests in a way that some straight porn isn’t. Here are some highlights from the conversation:į*ck it, I’ll be the one dude to be honest, yeah I watch some gay porn. Even fewer straights admitted to their own gay porn habits. Some condemned him as a closet-case, while others kept an open mind on the subject. The responses from other redditers were varied. I am happy with myself and my gf is fully aware of this. I have a very high sex drive and perhaps a smattering of sexual addictions. I view it all but do not consider myself gay. Many people today consider transsexual porn to be primarily of interest to straight males. It is also my guess that the stigma of doing so is far less than it used to be. It is my guess that a lot of straight guys consume gay porn. The original poster had this to say about his own experiences:
In response to the question “ Do any straight guys watch gay porn as a fetish rather than an aspect of your sexual orientation“, a handful of internet users offered up their own experiences. So when a thread asking heterosexual men about their interest in same sex imagery popped up on Reddit’s AskMen page, my interest was certainly piqued. That’s all well and good, but it isn’t too often that you hear straight men talking about their love of gay porn. Everyone has a different relation to their desires and everyone expresses those relations through unique identities, which are far more varied than the categories generally offered to us by society. If my generally-useless MA degree in Liberal Studies (with a focus on Gender and Sexuality) taught me anything it is that sexuality is fluid.
