This post is inspired by the fetish thread below, but it's a new topic so I decided to make a new thread.
I'm a straight guy (or at least that's how I would label myself, I don't mind if anyone would protest) who enjoy watching gay porn once in a while. Most of my interest in gay porn is about the cocks, probably natural because of comparing to myself, knowing how it feels when it is stimulated etc. This is something I've slowly been developing an interest for. When I was a teenager, I was exclusively interested in straight porn. But I found myself liking Peter North's movies, and admiring his cock, and after a while realizing I really enjoyed watching that cock, and slowly began looking around in the world of gay porn, where I'm still not very experienced or knowledgeable about what's out there.
I thought I'd list what I enjoy about gay porn, and what it takes for me to like it since I probably see things a bit differently than some of you guys in this forum. If someone in the same situation as me, or anyone else, would like to comment or weigh in with observations, just go ahead.
Likes:
Smooth bodies, shaved preferably, but not exessively hairy
Fit, athletic bodies, but not bodybuilders or very muscular
Good looking guys between 20 and 40.
Straight or upwards pointing cocks with average or above average size. Cock is important.
Cumshots! The larger and more powerful the better
Cumshots on stomach/chest
Cumshots on the back/butt of another guy
Messy jerkoff cumshots where a guy keeps on slowly stroking his large cock and cum dripping down the balls
Dislikes:
Fat, unfit bodies
Kissing
Fisting, fingering
Facials (I don't always mind but it can be unpleasant to watch in some cases)
Too many closeups on the faces
Average looking or below average guys. In straight porn I can watch some below average girl who is into it and have a nice body. But with gay porn, the guys have to be above average or its a huge turnoff.
In some cases gay porn can be much more interesting and enjoying than straight porn.I dont say that all straight guys should try it but i can say from my self that i found it quite interesting a lot of times.I generally agree with you BigMatt on your likes and dislikes but i strongly disagree on kissing which is a "must" for me in any kind of movie

Viewing preferences can be interesting. I know lesbians who prefer gay male porn. I know gay men who prefer straight porn. And, yes, there are straight men, like yourself, who prefer gay male porn.
On a personal note, I prefer straight porn but will concede that the guys in gay porn are better looking and generally more well hung than the guys in straight porn.

I've watched several gay flicks - and jerked off to 'em. I don't watch them too often though.
Partially because it is not my main genre (as opposed to shemale porn) but also because I'm sort of picky when it comes to gay porn.
My image of the ideal gay porn film contains: - at least one guy with an athletic body (It's OK if the other one(s) are normal, but not too skinny please) - poles which look hot every second you look at them (even when they're still hanging), - actors who are each very eager to be top AND bottom, - No toys.
Now I hear you guys think: 'But there are thousands of gay porn vids out with this description!'
And yes, I'm aware of that. But the thing is, as much as I love beautiful male features (and lord knows I've always loved one male feature, I'm 'shaking his hand' everyday), I love the female features even more. That's the reason why I haven't took the time yet to explore the gay porn biz thoroughly; When it comes to porn, my main interest goes out to the combination of those features.
But maybe I will in the future, my girl likes to see gay flicks every once in a while.
I am a straight guy who currently enjoys the odd (and by that I mean "occasional" and not "strange") transsexual porn film (especially those by the imitable Joey Silvera). Yes, I realize that is different, but for me seeing a soft, feminine body and face along with a hard, erect cock is a turn-on. Perhaps some might label me "bisexual" or "bi-curious" because of this, but I've always had trouble with labels and wonder why classifying absolutely everything and everyone is such a widespread human fascination.
Though I do not currently watch gay porn, I did rent quite a few gay titles when I first got into watching porn some years ago. There were actually a couple video stores at that time that didn't bother carding me even though I was not yet 18. I think for me it was a simple matter of curiousity and finding out about my own sexuality. And there was also the fact that some of those videos certainly did "do the job" for which they were intended. But I never saw myself seeking out a gay encounter. I think there are all kinds of reasons people watch any genre of porn...whether it be out of curiousity, horniness, (is that a word?) a desire to spice up one's sex life with their partner, etc., etc. The cool thing is that, as adults (forget my mention above that I was underage when I first started watching porn) we have many choices and freedoms to watch what we want to for whatever reason(s) we want to.
Not sure if any of that was on-topic, but it's my $0.02 on the subject. Peace. Wolf
To me, the all male porn has a totally different aesthetic, and it seems far less varied than male-female or female-female porn. It also seems antiseptic to me, due to the condom use. Years ago, before they started using condoms in all male porn, I saw some stuff that was pretty hot. Producer Kristen Bjorn's (the spelling may be off a bit) pre-condom videos were reliably exciting. I also recall a video shot in the Dominican Republic called "Bi Bi Black Boys" (there was almost no hetero sex) that was outstanding. I know that I'd like to see productions with black guys fucking white guys, especially gnagbanging, without condoms. I could watch that all day.
Being gay and having watched a ton and a half of gay porn, I’d have to agree that there is sameness in much of gay porn that I think derives mostly from guys who just “phone it in” for producers who are just in it to make a quick buck by slapping something—anything—on video. But (and I think regular contributors to this forum might agree) the more you watch, the more you can glean the good from the bad. It’s obviously easier for someone like me, a seasoned viewer, who has definite likes and dislikes. As for condom use, you are probably aware but it bears repeating......in the post-condom era of gay porn there has been a reintroduction of condomless (bareback) sex by several studios and there is a lot of it readily available, some of it good. However, while the appeal of this stuff is (at least for me) undeniable, the subject is controversial in the community.
You may also be aware, but to repeat, you can use the TLA Video site to search for all the specifics you guys indicated you enjoy. Just search on the keyword Interracial sex, condomless sex, Cock sizes, Cum shots heavy/intense/thick, or whatever else you’re interested in. And click on “By keyword” under “SEARCH FEATURES ” in the left side column for a listing of keywords.
And I agree, there are lots of reasons why guys might watch gay porn. If you like to watch, enjoy. It doesn’t mean you’ll end up aching to screw or be screwed by some muscle stud.
So you are saying you watch it for entertainment value only? Not to see what it would be like to be with another man? I find that hard to believe. You have to have an urge inside to even consider watching it? That's like me renting an all girl dvd for entertainment purposes, not going to happen, that would bore me to tears. Now if it's a guy with the girl sure i'd watch it, and tune the girl out.
As I said, this is something I've slowly been developing an interest for. I don't mind if anyone is questioning what I am, but I would definetly label myself as straight. Maybe you could add "somewhat curious" to it, but straight is how I feel about my sexuality.
When I started watching porn, it was 100% about the women. As a young teenager, i didn't even like the presence of an erect cock in porn movies. However, I got older, and I got used to seeing lots of different stuff in porn, and eventually found myself comfortable enough to try some gay porn. With very little success at first, after some time I found a few movies and a few scenes that I thought was hot.
My experience with gay porn is still very limited, but most of what I've seen I actually don't like, and it doesn't get me excited, and can at times be a turnoff too. With straight porn, the opposite is usually the case, and most of it will "work".
When I watch a guy cum (either in straight or gay porn) I can totally relate to how it feels, which turns me on. There is more focus on the cock in gay porn. And how often do you see a guy jerking off in straight porn (except for in the face of a woman). I miss that in straight porn, and since a man jerking off even in the presence of a woman is rather uncommon in straight porn, I turn to gay porn to see it.
To see how it would be like with another man? Well, I've given it some thought. However, as women are a much bigger turn-on for me, I can't really see it happening. My sexual interest in men is just a fraction of the sexual interest that i have in women. But when watching gay porn (or the fraction of it that I actually like) I can fantasize about things like sucking a cock or jerking one off. However guys kissing I don't like watching and could never do myself. Giving/receiving anal can be nice to watch, but doing it myself I don't really fantasize about... And certainly not when not "in the mood".
So go figure... :) I guess it's different from one person to the next. But I'm pretty comfortable to be labeling myself as in the topic: "straight man enjoying gay porn".

Yes. I started watching gay flicks because I bumped into them on several TS Porn vids - Just for the variety I wanted to see some 'real' gay porn films. I've never even thought about the possibility that I could be gay just because I'm a 'weener fan'; I'm just enjoying from what I see and that's that.
Which is all great. Enjoy what you enjoy and don't get all Freudian about it. I have enjoyed a handful of g/g in the past (though never a dedicated line) and it was all about the energy of the scene. I'm heavy into penetration, so big toys can sometimes be as stimulating to me as a big dick. And it's difficult to resist Keri Windsor's enthusiasm. More power to open-minded people.
Well thanks Big Matt and valentino for your insights, I just assumed you were coming to terms with a side of yourself that you wanted to see played out in front of you before you tried it. I guess everyone likes porn for different reasons, hey you keep enjoying gay porn. I was curious and you have satisfied my curiousity.
I love TS porn vids, even though they are expensive and tough to find. I got into watching gay porn in the same way, although my tastes for it are very specific.
I also view sexuality on a continuum and don't really identify as gay or bi or straight. The only curiousity I have about gay sex is that I've heard gay men can suck better than most women. Then again, if I knew where to find shemales perhaps I'd have the best of both worlds ;)
Wow Freud that's interesting, so if you found a TS that turned you on, you'd let her go down on you?? I'm sure they're not that hard to find. They frequent the gay clubs I'm sure.
Thanks Valentino, actually I've been lurking on eros for awhile! Haven't given up any cash yet though. Definitely a wide selection, although some of those entries seem a bit suspicious, LOL!
I don't really watch gay porn, but I enjoy some bi stuff, such as "Strap Attack". I need at least a woman in the scene.

Strap Attack isn't bisexual in the inclusive sense of the word. There is female bisexuality but no male bisexuality. Actually, most of what we know as straight porn is female bisexual + heterosexual.
I like watching gay porn sometimes. I'd always been curious, and would check out the occasional bi or shemale flick, but it was a long time before I started watching films with exclusively guy sex. I guess that once I got online and was able to see gay sex without having to worry about running into someone I knew at the video store, I realized how much I enjoyed watching guys fuck and suck. I like the Bel Ami and Kristin Bjorn videos the best, because the guys are so sexy, but I also enjoy the really nasty stuff that companies like Hot Desert Knights and SX put out. Fortunately, my girlfriend enjoys watching guys fuck as much, if not more, than I do, so I don't have to hide anything.
Wow so you are the 2nd person that has a girlfriend that knows about your gay porn fetish, that's so interesting, I guess your girlfriend is very openminded ha? Have you ever come close to doing anything with a man?? Would you??
The only time I ever came close to doing anything was when I was 16, with a boy at boarding school. We were out in the woods and he made a move on me and I was ready to reciprocate but we ran into someone and it was over before anything happened. I don't think I've met more than a few guys in my whole life that I was attracted to that way, but he was definitely one of them. We never even talked about it after that, but we both knew that something would have happened. I think he'd had some previous experiences. That was a long time ago, though, and if it hasn't happened by now, it's not likely that it ever will. I've had plenty of guys come on to me over the years, but was never even remotely attracted to any of them. The kid from school is now deceased, and I think he may have died of AIDS, which is a pretty sobering thought. I've always been a very sexual person, and I've had dozens of girlfriends. I'm pretty openminded and wouldn't rule anything out, but ultimately I think I'm too interested in the female form for anything else to be more than a diversion to satisfy my curiousity. I like the way women smell.
Oh okay thank you for sharing. I think it's so neat that you are so open about this and not trying to hide it as so many men do, granted you don't act on it. So what made you interested in your boarding school friend? Since you said you've been hit on by men. What was it about him that would have made you try it had you not been interrupted.
He was really cute. He wasn't effeminate or anything, but he had a very pretty face. If he had been in gay porn, he would have been a very popular twink. Also, I didn't have a whole lot of experience with girls at that point, and I think I was still in the process of discovering my sexual identity. It was a traditionally male school that had only recently gone coed, so there were very few female students. Put a bunch of horny adolescents together and that kind of thing is bound to happen once in a while.
That's true, at that age, you are vunerable to try anything, and given the conditions (all young horny males in school) it was bound to happen. But why after that first time didn't you want to see how it was? I mean the door was open at one point, but you chose not to try it again? why?
I changed schools not long after that, and all of a sudden there were girls everywhere. If there had been another opportunity where I had that strong of a same sex attraction, I might have tried something, but that never happened, and I was too obsessed with girls to be concerned with pursuing anything else.
DArn, I was hoping you'd say you did (LOL), just kidding. Well that was very insightful, do you believe that we all have homosexual tendencies but some choose to see them through while others don't? or do you beleve that it's soemthing you are born with? I hear so many different things (e.g., been hurt by the opposite sex, was molested as a child, was in prisison, i was born that way). What do you believe based on your own experiences? Do you have any gay friends? Or are you just coridal to them and that's it?
Taht's right, I'm trying to get to the bottom of this, who knows, maybe I secrely like women but just don't act on it but like to see them in videos (smile).
I am another "straight" guy that frequently enjoys watching gay porn. I guess I'd more accurately be labeled bisexual but I'm 32 (look 23) and I've only been sexually attracted to 3 guys my entire life. 2 of them are porn stars I've only seen on vids. A guy has to be just the way I like him. He has to be about my height, 5'8" and very fit just like me. He cannot be skinny like most of the twinks I see on the internet. He has to be built and in top shape. He has to have a nice bubble butt and a beautiful dick about 7 inches long. He has to be pale. And he has to shave all of his body hair or trim it really closely. He can only have pubic hair around his dick and balls. His dick has to be just right. I'm so easily turned off by a guy's dick. It has to have a nice plump dickhead.
I would gladly have sex with such a guy but I've only seen one in real life and I never did anything about it. We went to the same gym.
I do not check out guys when I'm out. But it's because I'm just not interested in checking out guys. I know this sounds strange after all that I've said but it's just the way I am. I'm only interested in body parts and sex when it comes to men and I'm nowhere near as drawn to men as I am to women. Women just hold my attention. They're just physically beautiful in every way. A woman can be dressed from head to toe and still be sexy as hell. A guy can't in my mind. A guy is only sexy to me if he's completely nude and has all the physical attributes I've described above.
I finished trying to analyze myself a long time ago. I just go with whatever I feel and don't question it anymore. Sexuality is really a lot more complex than we're led to believe.
I like watching gay porn and that's that. I especially like watching men fuck one another. For me it's mostly because of the power factor. I'm very into working out and for me there's just something so powerful about a man fucking a man. I just wish I could find that perfect guy to have sex with. I'd love to wrap my lips around a nice plump dickhead and fuck the hell out of a nice bubble butt and get my own ass rammed by that same cock with a plump dickhead.
wow mike, what an interesting story, i'm curious if you want to find that perfect man why do you make things so hard? you say you don't check men while you're out, so how are you ever going to find him? and what part of md. if it's not asking too much? i wonder if we go to the same gym (LOL), but i don't fit your description and plus i'm taken.
