I had heard that a lot of male porn stars are actually straight-for pay, so I asked Luke Ford about it. He told me that many if not most straight male performers are actually bisexual because distinctions and boundaries get blurred by porn.

This is actually good news I think. I'd love to see some of them in bi-porn, since the guys doing bi stuff are mostly gay, and usually look like they wish the female would just disappear.

Are they afraid that they wouldn't be accepted in a 'straight' video anymore? Would it be a turn-off
to male viewers just to know that they've done guys? If so, why?

I'm not into bi, but I have no problem watching Peter North in 'straight' porn vids. Rightly or wrongly, I already assumed most porn guys were bi or they wouldn't be sword fighting in some woman's - insert desired orifice here - .

It is unfortunate; but very, very few stars in gay porn have made the crossover to straight porn; and, for the most part, those few who have made the crossover from straight to gay have been forced to stay there. Almost all the stars found in the male bisexual genre are drawn from the pool of gay and gay-for-pay actors.

I'd love to see some of the straight male stars do bisexual or gay porn but it seldom works that way. I suspect that it is the prejudices of the straight industry and, even more so, of the straight viewing public that keep the boundaries in place.

Like it or not, for a guy who stars in straight porn to venture into gay or bi porn is going to kill his straight porn career. I don't watch any gay or bi porn, so I have no idea who the male stars are. Is it the same way for gay porn fans? Do gay porn fans know who the most popular straight porn guys are? Lastly, is Peter North bi?

Who knows? He certainly did a lot of gay porn early in his career and his protests that all the anal-passive action was stunt-doubled are totally false. He may consider himself to be straight. It really doesn't matter as far as I am concerned. As Matt Ramsey, his gay nom-de-porn, he has provided his gay fans with many memorable scenes.

I've seen some gay porn, the guys are certainly bigger, both in muscle and size, and most times a lot better looking than most straight porn guys. I can't say that I've seen any strictly classified bi porn, though I have seen some, I guess it's called fem-dom (guys getting fucked by strap on wielding gals), which I love watching.

I can not say for certain if most male stars are bi, though sometimes with the double dicking, you would think that they are, or are at least curious.

Luke didn't mention any names, nor did I ask him for any, since I think his "many if not most" comment speaks for itself. Luke knows all the dirty little secrets, that's why so many fear/hate & love him..

I've always liked Peter North and it doesn't bother me at all that he bottomed in gay porn, good for him. I'll take GS's word that there were no stunt assholes involved. What movies of Matt's are considered the best?

He is only the tip of the iceburg however, and only because he did appear in gay porn. It doesn't seem to have diminished his popularity, nor should it. That's why I think it's a shame that more don't crossover. There's a growing market for some good bi porn. I mean, they aren't fooling anyone anymore, so why not just go all the way? Can I get an Amen, GS.

Why are we listening to Luke Ford, of all people?

To answer DB's question, I, too, have read over the years that the "het" industry actors and directors shun male performers who have performed MM scenes. I have no doubt that we viewers wouldn't give a damn for 2 reasons. 1) Peter North is the prime example of a performer who is still loved by straight male viewers even though everyone knows he did MM scenes. Others include that guy who used to be with Jill Kelly whose name just jumped out of my brain, and Mr. Bigg of the Mr Bigg and His Bitches series. 2) Strictly straight viewers don't watch MM porn, so wouldn't know who was doing MM videos anyway...unless they were hardcore fans like we are. We're the minority, though.

So..it's the homophobia within the industry that's preventing the MM to MF crossover.

I'd like to explore Marvin's idea about straight stars "venturing" into MM action. I don't know if that's the way it would go. I'd think that if you're buff and big enough for gay porn, you're going to be told by agents when you first enter the biz that there's more money for you in gay porn. And if you turn it down then, when you're young and new, and when the difference between gay starting and het starting pay is so dramatic, then you're probably never gonna get into it.

I dunno...someone straighten me out if I'm thinking wrong.

Check out: <iThe Bigger the Better </i , <iLike a Horse </i , <iA Matter of Size </i , and <iSizing Up </i with the first one being his most famous - the one where he takes all (& I do mean ALL!) of Rick Donovan's humongous cock. Unfortunately, it is not yet available on DVD.

"Why are we listening to Luke Ford, of all people? "

I asked Mark Kernes of AVN but never heard back from him. ;-)

TLAVideo lists 15 titles for Matt Ramsey. It looks like he was gay up until about '89, and then made a bi movie in '93 called Valley of The Bi Dolls, which sounds like it could be good but unfortunately it's VHS only (although for $15. it might be worth checking out)

'89? Hmm, me thinks somebody has been recycling older footage.

Two different stories about 'hetero' stars doing 'gay' work:

1) Ask Frank Towers how his luck went when he became Mark Slade.

2) It is rumored that Nick Manning, former Male Performer of the Week, can be booked as a 'gay' escort.

If would make sense if MANY of the male "studs" in straight porn turned out to bi or even gay. In fact, it would help explain why so many of the guys are so laid back, gentle and nice in their scenes. Half the time the girls are more aggressive than the guys, which is fine in a vacuum, but in porn, results from many of the men being kind of effeminate in attitude and demeanor. Indeed, beeng gay or bi probably helps them to perform well because they dont get as turned on or excited by fucking a hot looking woman as 100% hetero men do!

If Manning is doing 'couples', then he is more than likely doing the men too. I noticed his ad said 'includes' but not limited to.

I don't know what kind of porn NYC_DOM is watching.

I dated Peter for two years and I think he is bi and ashamed of it and that's to bad in fact that's what ruined our relationship was because he couldn't confront his issues with his sexuality. He didn't complain when I fucked him in the ass but then felt guilty afterwards if he were more open with his fans and me about being Bi he'd be a more relaxed person. And another male who has done the switch who I like very much as a person is Jason McCaine he is really cool and knows himself and I admire him for that good for him for doing a crossover it's just sex and people need to get their panties out of a wad and should be free to do what they like and not feel hurt over it or ashamed.

This is speculation (and rumors) on my part, so I don't want to give it too much weight, but my impression would be that a lot of them are bi.

In Kris Kramski's commentary for America xxx he comments on how most of the male European stars are bi and that it isn't any kind of big deal there. I think it was during the part where he was goin gover their polaroids and actually held the camera on pictures of guys when talking about how many of them were bi.

Jewel:

Please! More on your comment about fucking Peter North in the ass! Details, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, at the end of one of your Babes In Pornland videos, you interviewed Lee Stone. You/he mentioned that the first time you two met, it was because Peter North brought him home to you one night as a "gift"...

Then you mentioned you broke up with Peter the very next day. It seemed like you were saying that Peter was more interested in Lee than he was in you. I may have misinterpreted that, but can you give any more details?

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the link, YG. Here is another pic and a short article from AVN. Did Jason go from straight to gay, then back to straight porn? If so, it doesn't seemed to have done him any harm.

I just want to stress that it's not my intention here to 'out' anyone in particular, and I assumed everyone already knew about Peter North. The fact that it doesn't seem to be a problem with his many fans both straight and gay is encouraging, so I'm sorry to hear that he still has issues with it. He shouldn't - everyone loves Peter North, the guy is awesome, and obviously has a voracious sexual appetite.

My real hope is that industry people will see that it's not a big deal to us. Is it?

Not a big deal to me. Straight, bi, gay...as long as they are attractive and can perform well on camera it's all good.

I had heard about Peter North's gay films years ago and it has never affected me one way or the other when watching him in scenes. He does a great job and that's all I ask.

I have always found it damn funny that most men love to watch women/women scenes in their porn, but if a guy touches another guys penis in a scene it's like the world has come to an end and hell has been unleashed. I'm not dying for male/male scenes in my porn, but if it cropped up I would either watch it or fast forward, depending on my mood and the quality of the scene.

Do I have to grow up right this minute??

It's not a big deal to me, either. If anything, I have a very slight preference toward bi guys. I consider versatility to be a turn-on.

Dumblonde,

Have you seen Troy Halston in action? The three way scene he did with his wife Holly in the Mile Bi Club is really hot. My review is here. They starred in Mass Appeal 2, and have been in a number of straight movies like Breathless and The Devinn Lane Show Episode 5. He has also done a few gay movies.

RobHammer,

"The Mile Bi Club" is the one bi-sexual video that I've seen. I have a "thing" for Holly Halston and I wanted to watch Holly and Troy in "hell bent for leather" action. I was curious about how I'd react to the "gay" element. Chi Chi Larue is a great director, and the video didn't disappoint.

I was truly blown away by the sincere passion that Troy and Holly showed for each other. I could feel the marriage connection between them and thought that their solo scene was maybe the hottest 1 on 1 scene I've ever seen. They just couldn't keep their mouths and hands off of each other -- incredible! I found myself feeling a little uncomfortable when Jullian Pierce joined them, but ultimately I found that second scene (or that second part of the first scene, hard to say how I'd categorize it) a turn on, too. It seemed like Holly was a kind of cheerleader for her husband's voracious sexuality, which sent a very positive and liberating message to me, the viewer.

The M/M scene with Jack Ryan and Todd Shore was fast-forward material for me. However, I really liked the G/G scene with T.J. Hart and Keri Windsor (I would have rated it higher than you did in your review). The last scene was also great -- hot, out-of-the-ordinary, convincingly pan-sexual.

Great review, Rob! How does "Mass Appeal 2" stack up against "The Mile Bi Club"?

Bob,

I watched Mass Appeal 2 on VHS as a rental and would give it a 4 star rating. I haven't bought the DVD because of the $44-$60 price. I found a review here. It won the 2003 GAYVN Awards for Best Bi-Sexual Video, Best Director - Bisexual Video. This only means that there isn't many quality movies made in this genre.

Bob,
I could have written almost the exact same thing about Mass Appeal 2. I found out that Holly was in this a few months ago and went out of my way to look for it (unsuccessfully). Then, just last week, I noticed it on a shelf near the exit of my favorite video store as I was leaving the store. This wasn't the first bi-sexual video I've seen, but it's probably only about the fifth.

The next day, as I was returning my rentals, I made a bee line directly for this tape. Holly and Troy's scene in this one starts out as two separate scenes (Holly with Jordan Haze in a shower and Troy with another guy in the bedroom). Eventually Holly & Jordan leave the shower and join the guys. IIRC, after some B/G B/G, it ended up with a threesome while Jordan masturbated.

I wasn't to big on the guy/guy scenes. But for some reason, I found the true bi-sexual scenes to be a turn-on. I think that dumblonde's point in the first post here is a good one. In most of the bi scenes that I've seen, they guys are really into each other and the girl ends up watching a bunch of it. In the scene with Holly & Troy, they really seemed to be into each other. There just happened to be another guy there who was into both of them too.

After reading Rob's post last night, I ordered both of these DVD's. However, neither is in stock anywhere. I'm concerned about Mass Appeal 2, because it was released by Odyssey who is no longer in business. ADE had it listed as "on order", while X-Rent had a stock status of "unknown". None of the other stores carrying it have real time inventory, so who knows whether they have it or not.

RobHammer and Bill,

Thanks for the feedback on "Mass Appeal 2". I'm going to have to hunt it down and check it out.

Speaking of Holly and Troy, I'm anxiously awaiting the release of "Holly's Tea Party" -- which, despite the press release that was posted on ADT a few weeks ago, appears not yet to be available.

I just sent Holly an e-mail requesting more info; if I hear anything, I'll post it.
