If you want to be technical, isn't it homoerotic any time two cocks touch each other, are close to touching each other, or one guy comes into contact with anothers cum? (there goes two in the mouth, dp, double anal, double vag, cream pies, etc...)
What about one dude kissing a girl after she just sucked on another guy in the scene or eating her after his buddy just pounded her?

Even with a woman the likes of Dana DeArmond onlooking, it would take at least two bi-curious girls in the session before I would even think about being comfortable being sexual with another man.
If you want to be technical, it's actually homoerotic . Homerotic sounds like a XXX Ikea.
Homoeroticism is when two people of the same gender, mainly men, are aroused by one another. In hetero porn, this is generally in the subtext, or rather, the performer's unconscious.
Most gonzo porn is phallocentric, and it's got a lot to do with the sexual ambiguity of the people producing the films. They're either in the closet or struggling with dick issues. I couldn't care less about cocks, but I'm told I do.

please explainI'm bi-curious myself. Not anyone mature has ever made a problem of this. Am I "sexual ambiguity"? In the closet or struggling with dick issues? Not that I know. Do girls (acting) homoerotic (think about this, ma meeshka) have penis envy?
i'm comfortable with my sexuality, and i have no problem with identifying with the arousal of other males. but hetero porn, marketed to hetero men, in theory, should give prominence to female sexuality. if not, it's gay or bi porn.
gonzo is quite cock-oriented, and i don't think it's always a conscious decision. it's usually an extension of the film maker's personality.
i.e. jules jordan has the set ups to his hetero flicks where he focuses on the girl for a long time. compared to some kind of film where the director has a dialogue with the male talent about how he should pound the girl, virtually ignoring the girl completely.
It is very Frank TJ Mackey friendly. "Respect the Cock!"
Marketed to men who would love women if women loved them back, but women wouldn't give them the time of day, so they want to tear them apart.
Or to guys who have been hurt when they have loved women, and are now hardened and calloused.
Or men who feel powerless in their own lives, so they seek out porn in wich they can vicariously dominate women, through the poundings given by the male performers.
These men are probably wrong and should channel there frustrations throuh counceling or other activities. But calling them closet homosexuals, or subconsciuosly turned on by other men, thats just a cop out.
homo means man, but it is often inaccurately used for women, or lesbians.
should, but don't always. and i said marketed to hetero men, not couples. like how playboy is marketed mainly--if not entirely--to men. i don't think i've ever seen any kind of gender equality anywhere in the world, let alone in a porn film.
how would you describe someone that likes to shoot cocks in exploitative films for a living?

@ lessthanzero Very good remarks indeed (regrettable for me personally, some are very recognisable).
Nearly all of this thread however is seen from a male's perspective. It would be very interesting reading a woman-pov on this. They're watching the same 'hetero marketed' movies, and are probably more male-orientated viewers?

Just wrong. The "homo" in homosexual comes from the Greek where it means "same" (as also in words like 'homogenous' or 'homonym'). So homosexual means being sexually attracted to those who are of the same sex as yourself. Gay men and lesbian women are both equally homosexual.
you're right, i think i said what i meant wrong. homo as a prefix is generally same, but specifically relating to homosexuality, etc., it is mostly used for men, or man. it's that way in most dictionaries, and this is because of misuse (by people like me ).

I learned otherwise ...
Isn't a hetero couple statisticly most likely hetero-man & hetero-woman? Men are just the biggest consumers, that why it's mainly marketed to hetero men. Only niche products are usualy marketed specific into that niche consumer market. Unfortunately I haven't seen much gender equality neither, no matter where and when. Maybe 'money votes', in porn-land too? I've no problem seeing movies depicting women roughing up men brought to market... But they aren't there, and when 'money votes', this concludes a non-excisting market.
Director / producer. Doesn't that someone shoot cunts too?

Not in the dictionary you used. Nowhere I know it's used like that too. Nice thread: thanks.
Well, you query [invalid URL removed]these people, for one, if you have a problem with the current usage of the word homoeroticism. Regardless of your beliefs on the etymology of the word 'homo,' there is a consensus out there that in this instance it pertains to men. Probably due to its colloquial use, or misuse.

Using the link provided, I looked long and hard, but nowhere could I find evidence leading to belief the word 'homo' pertains love / sex between men.
But never mind that, the word is probably misused often indeed, it would be nice to have a reaction on Doyle's original statement from a women's pov.

Call it what you may, but that doesn't change the fact that it's almost common place in HETERO porn for a guy to tongue down a girl's mouth/pussy/etc after another guy's cock has been in it. I'd imagine that it's pretty hard to keep track of who's doing what to whom in a scene with more than two people. I've just always wondered if it was a matter of editing and things being perceived as occuring out of sequence?
(kinda like 80's porn... the actresses shoe is off, oops...now it's back on.)
Please don't misconstrue this as being phobic, for I am the furthest from that. I am simply posing this as a question.
I agree that porn presents many images that are homoerotic or autoerotic. Porn as a whole has more imagines of some guy with his hand on his dick the any other image. he’s whacking to get it up, holding on to it while fucking or being sucked, he’s whacking while waiting, he’s whacking to the cum shot, he’s whacking. I’m not bothered by men’s body parts touching incidental to the scene, what bothers me is the producers insistence on providing an un obstructed view of the entire length of the dick at all times, this causes the talent to assume what has become standard porno positions, where participant are only touching at the genitals.
I think the producers after making X number of movies might lose a bit of fine discrimination re: homoerotism, they want to get this one finished and in the can, move on to the next project. I prefer amateur productions where the producer hasn’t perfected his “vision”.

How homoerotic (autoerotic??) can you go ...
This is just called 'sex', in whatever state you're in. Don't like it: don't watch, or even have sex ...
No "participant touching the genitals" here? No whacking to get it up, holding on to it while fucking or being sucked, ...
I'm gay and I can attest that there's nothing homo-erotic in gonzo porn. There's no emphasis on the male body, a lot of performers are butt-ugly and the framework is equally divided b/w endless close-ups and shots of the girls' face/jiggling boobs. The idea that dicks in themselves are homo-erotic is a straight idea.

Nice to have a reaction on this topic seen from a different perspective. Not so much seen from a women's pov , but no less welcome. I completely agree with it.
No "participant touching the genitals" here? No whacking to get it up, holding on to it while fucking or being sucked, ...
You don't even like sex, don't you?
I love sex my friend, I waiting to see it in the movies I purchase. Still waiting. My point is that Porn sex has the same relation to sex as the WWF has to a street fight. The homoerotic aspect of straight porn has more to do with the producers churning them out in the most efficient manner possible than with sexual orientation the actors.

Could you please explain to me what it is with these producers, they prefer to make 'homoerotic' movies?
I would say that this is pretty much the definitive statement on this topic. Seeing a dick or many dicks, however closely, in the process of penetrating female orifices isn't homoerotic.
I like gangbang movies, and I don't think it's because I'm subconsciously attracted to men. I just like watching girls slut it up. By your definition of homoerotic, the only type of a porn a 100% straight guy should like is lesbian porn.
I don't think they prefer homoerotic porn although I couldn't say for sure, but I think one might become desensitised and not put so fine a distinction on what might be seen as "homoerotic" or in some cases lose sight of what is erotic. The guy is immersed in the culture. Who know how a guy who's made hundreds of adult movies might be getting off in his private life, I tend to think he's not doing what frustrated porn hounds like me are doing, watching porn

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but will give my first reaction:
Is there a need to distinguish between different kinds of sex (homo/hetero/auto-erotic and so on)? Personally I like (to watch) sex, and are completely indifferent about the 'labels'/names you could give it.
Are you interested in knowing how producers/directors make sex in their private time? Not me. Hopefully, on a personal level, he/she will not become a 'frustrated porn hound' like you. Which saddens me knowing
I think there's a much more pragmatic couple of reasons for this - The key male performers of a gonzo director often appear to be their mates/buddies after awhile. Therefore:
1) You have that frat-boy mentality going "hey guys, let's go fuck some bitches."
Or for others, and to put it more nicely:
2) As the girls are interchangable and generally transitory to a director or series, they don't have the same social importance or connection to the directors/producers that the same five guys they always work with do. You might shoot/fuck Nautica Thorn four times over a couple of months, but you're working with your crew and regular woodsmen day after day.
As a straight male, watching a bunch of cocks being jerked off is not a turn on. BUT watching a bunch of cocks being jerked off near a woman's face is a major turn on. Especially if she's hot for the cocks and the impending cum.
