Hi everybody,

After being curious and browsing through most of the available gay dvds I happened to notice that most of the dvds feature big, muscular studs that look like bodybuilders, and some of them are hairy, have got mustaches and are dressed in leather.

On the other hand I noticed that there seem to be very few dvds featuring younger, smooth, hairless twinks who look kinda normal and not like Mr. Universe.

Which do you like more ? Do most of you really like the big hunks more than smooth boys and that's why so much of that stuff gets produced ?
I'm asking since some friends of mine are gay and they always tell me that they're totally turned off by big, strong, hairy men, and that most of the gay people they know would rather like to see smooth boys. I couldn't notice this 'trend' in the DVD-production until now though.

Can anybody give me a hint on that ?

Greetings,

Spesedy

Chalk me up for the big hairy muscle men!

I don't know where you are seeing alot of mustaches, though, as that was a pretty late 70's phenomemon. Leather is kind of a niche as well.

My understand of the twink vs hunk debate is this:

Younger men seem to be into the older hunky muscle men (either they are looking for a father figure, or are attracted to the body that they wish they had).

Older men are more into the young twink type (for the same reasons that old straight guys go for the young dumb blondes, but also many older gay men do feel their biological clock ticking, and since most can't have actual kids, it is nice to have some younger gay kid look up to you for guidence... and of course a good fucking every now and then.)

Of course, this is all a huge generalization, and probably get flamed by those who disagree, but oh well.

As for me, a 26 year old, when I was out looking for sex, I tended to go for the older guys, but when it came time for an actual relationship, I went with someone my own age.

Ok, so it may seem that I strayed quite a bit from your actual question, but keep this in mind:

In general, muscular and hairy goes hand in hand with older men, while nonmuscular and smooth tend to be your younger twinkies.

I don't know why, but there is just something unappealing about scrawny young boys going at it (see my review of First Time 5 for the details).

I like Both :>}.. though when looking for actual sex I tend to drift torward guys closer to my own age (i'm 24)

but..I think if theres an unbalance in the types of guys featured in DVDs its because of the studios that are currently releasing DVDs.. most studios that produce alot of films (All Worlds, Studio 2000, Falcon etc) tend to drift torward the all around "gay ideal" of a youngish toned musculer guy, but not really, macho or oozing testosterone..while produceing a handful of films that feature one type of guy or the other. I think this dominates the currently available DVDs

But there are also studios that specialise in one type of guy. Many of the studios that produce films with younger, Smoother Twinks .. are not yet producing DVDs (Bel-Ami being a big one).. while studios like Titan and Colt, who produce movies featureing older more masculine men are making DVDs... this might offset the Balance

theres plenty of audience for both types.
