Gay for pay

Everyone has an opinion on this.  I remember watching some talk show (Tyra?) a long time ago and then a news story where this porn actor who has a girlfriend and a kid who said he was straight but also did gay porn.  I just remember thinking they are either Bi or gay.  How can a man get hard to do it, if they are not at least a bit attracted? I can admit that I was quite wrong.

Why?

1. Well because I honestly believe that everyone has a price.  For instance if someone had a gun to your child and told you to engage in a sexual act with a person that was not your preferred sex, I think alot of people would say, yes.  While no one is holding a gun to their kids head I can use many analogies.  For instance it can merely be that it is good money. It wouldn't be the first time someone gets aroused from an inanimate object and it will not be the last.

2.  People engage in sexual acts with the other sex all the time without having any attraction to them.  Why? Well maybe they are curious and want to try it out.  Maybe they are bigger risk takers than you are. Maybe they just like to feel good.  Sex releases a lot of hormones, so it doesn't seem far fetched if a guy is comfortable with their sexuality that they wouldn't than engage in acts of the opposite of the orientation if there wasn't a girl around.  After all I have met very few gay guys that can say "I have never done anything of a sexual nature with a girl".  It doesn't mean anything.

3. I think there might be a double standard here.  I do not think anyone would question a women porn star that engages in sexual acts with another women, if they were to say I am straight.  But a guy has sex with another guy and gets hard, well people think this guy is obviously bisexual or gay.  It is obviously because they get an erection.  At the same time this is the thing if you are doing pleasurable things that turn you on, wouldn't you get aroused?  It is a physiological reaction.  It means nothing, in my opinion.

In the end, I can see how it ruins the fantasy for people.  It would say it would be the same for me as well.  However, probably if I had never seen that show or the news about it, I would not even care.  Maybe some people though are hardcore fans, that buy personal items or buy products endorsed by them.  I am not sure I could ever be a fan of anyone to that extent so I am not sure how they feel.  My favorite actors, actresses, music artists I could care less what they do in their personal life.  An actor does heroin, and he is considered a bad role model by the media.  However, did the actor sign up to be a role model?  he signed up to act.  Perhaps porn is a bit different since it might seem more personal since they are having sex on camera, but it isn't.  You probably paid to watch it, and someone paid them to be in it.  Their personal lives should not have to scrutinized for it.  In the time of social media boom, I am not sure if I would ever agree to be a public figure.  I do not want anyone to know about me.
