I haven't posted in this particular section before, but I have a question I thought some people here might know something about.
I have heard before and read that the quality of blowjobs/oral sex is higher in gay porn than hetero porn. I have read that in gay porn the men are better at giving oral sex and that the quailty of this is higher than that given by women in hetero porn. What I would like to know is how do you tell the difference in technique and quality? Is it true that gay porn actors are better at giving oral sex than women because of their "familiarity" with the male anatomy? What differences should I be watching for?
Well Canadian Girl, that sounds like a loaded question.
It's kind of like the "Who knows better how to please a woman than another woman?" myth.
You will find that the quality of gay porn varies as much as the quality of straight porn, blowjobs included.
As an oral connoisseur, I can attest to the fact that great oral skills require a good deal of empathy, patience and attention on the part of the person giving, regardless of gender. A course in basic anatomy is helpful, but not required.
Most ostensibly straight guys with whom I've spoken who've experienced blowjobs by members of both sexes seem to consider men to be substantially better at the art.
That doesn't mean that all women are bad at it; nor does it mean that all men are good. More probably, gay men get lots of practice; and, knowing what feels good by way of personal experience, are better at honing their skills. I also suspect that those gay men going out of their way to offer such services to those ostensibly straight men on a regular basis probably get substantially more practice than might be considered average.
OK GaySatyr, a political rant. Why would gay men get more practice at giving blowjobs than straight women? I hear ya, really. Are men really more promiscuous than woman, gay or straight? On the flip side, does a woman really know how to please another woman better than a man?
I can't speak as to how promiscuous women are - I've no experience in that arena. However, based on my observations, nearly all men are promiscuous at least to some degree; and many men, including very many gay men, are very promiscuous.
Based on what I've read and a few (very few) conversations with several women I know well enough to have such conversations, many women tend to number their sexual liaisons in single digits with a majority topping out at well under a couple dozen. And then there are those who claim to have been virgins at marriage and to have been totally monogamous thereafter.
There are also some men who were virgins at marriage; and some, though fewer still, who have remained monogamous. It does happen; however, I suspect it is very far from the rule these days. (I'm not knocking it, understand. In fact, I quite respect it. I'm just making generalized personal observations unsupported by anything more than my own reading - totally without knowing the veracity of the source material - and my own experiences and those of people I know and trust to tell me their perception of the truth.) However, many men rack up sexual partners to rival their collections of beer bottles stacked along the window sills of their bachelor pads. And after marriage, a significant number show no sign of slowing down.
It is said that approximately 50% of all men have had at least one sexual experience that can be classified as homosexual in nature. You can probably safely assume that many gay men discover their affinity in just such an encounter. In the straight world, society has mechanisms, however ineffective, of encouraging monogamy; in the gay world, no such restraints exist. Moreover, because homosexuality is so maligned by society, homosexual expression is often driven underground: casual encounters often the result of furtive meetings in public and clandestine places like parks, highway rest stops, and public toilets. Rest rooms in the stacks at campus libraries are notorious meeting places as are bus and train depots. And then there are the peep show booths at dirty book stores.... You get the picture. What's more, such situations encourage anonymous sexual encounters with multiple partners, further skewing restraint.
I've read that the estimate for sexual partners among gay men by the time they are 25 is 100 men and that in a lifetime, 1,000 is not unrealistic. Personally, I suspect that there are very many gay men for whom those numbers would be very, very conservative. I would not be at all surprised to learn that the lifetime achievement count tops 5,000 for a significant portion of the gay population.
That's one hell of a lot of practice!
I'm not saying all gay men are that promiscuous; but a very many are. I've never thought of myself as being promiscuous; and I hate anonymous sex; however, I qualify. I consider myself to be serially monogamous in that when I am in a relationship, I do not play around - that's not the norm in the gay world. Taking a hard look at my own life, I've been in 6 long-term relationships - at least, I considered them to be long term, the longest having lasted just over six years and the shortest, one and a half. I've been in more than three dozen relationships that lasted a few dates or more, meaning we got past the second data but it petered out after a few weeks or months. And I suspect that there may have been over a hundred one-night stands (I can't really be sure - I haven't counted). So, my tally in all categories and at age 47 puts me somewhere in the range of under 200 partners. I seriously doubt that many straight men match those figures; and yet, based on my experience in the gay world, I'm practically a born-again virgin.
I know of a priest who probably averages 2 to 3 encounters a day, Sundays included. He'll easily surpass 5,000 in his lifetime (if he hasn't already). I know of married men who would never cheat on their wives with another woman but who make a dozen trips to parks or highway rest stops a month for blowjobs. And then there is the men's room on the second floor at Macy's in the Pentagon City Mall - I suspect that 50 to 100 uniforms drop trou for a quickie each and every day between the hours of 12 and 2. As much as I like a man in (and out of) uniform, that isn't my idea of a military mess.
Yes, men are more promiscuous than women - much more.
Thanks for the responses so far. It also got me thinking when I was reading a book of sexologist Dr. Betty Dodson and she says she enjoys watching gay porn videos because she can get to see men in action. I have been thinking about whether watching gay men give oral sex would teach me a better technique than seeing straight women giving men oral sex. I am just thinking about ways to add to my skills for my boyfriend. Anyway, there doesn't seem to be an agreement so far that men give better oral than women.
Oh I don't know. While I'll agree that in general that men give better blow jobs, you certainly wouldn't get that impression from watching Euro-gay porn. I've never seen a bigger gaggle of prima donnas in my life!
"Oh my! I've taken more than in inch of this cock in my mouth! I think I'm going to gag!!!"
What is a prima donna in gay porn? What do you mean? Someone who doesn't want to do anything?
Some of the Euro gay men seem to be hot. I researched Pavel Novotny and am not sure what he considers himself since he has sex with women and has a girlfriend, but has also had sex in gay porn. Some of the Euro Bel Ami boys look pretty, but I read that some of them are not gay, so maybe that is why they don't do things properly the way you say?
Crappy blow jobs (and almost non-existant rimming) are pretty much the reason I've written off most euro porn. If you watch want a lot of High Octane, Pacific Sun, Private Man, and Falcon International, you'll start to see the same euro men over and over... almost none of which could give a decent blow job to save their life. It's pretty obvious most of them are straight... I mean really, how could a gay man be on his knees in front of some giant euro cock, and not want to shove the entire thing down his throat?
There are about three dozen Czech and Hungarian straight men who appear regularly in gay porn. Most are "tops" only; although, most of them will give blowjobs - if you call sucking half-heartedly with an expression on your face as if the cock tasted of AlK(SO4)2 a blowjob....
I just found this site tonight. Very interesting topic.
I'm not even sure Canadian Girl should watch gay porn to learn how to better her techniques. I find how blowjobs are done in gay porn is very much based on which studio produced it. If she's looking to be more "wild" about it, she's not going to see much of that in a video produced by a company where the sex scenes are filmed in a stand-and-pose way, where it's more important how you look than what you're doing. There are lots of studios that churn out video after video that way. On the other hand, if she's trying to pleasure her boyfriend because he likes it to be more sensual, she won't see much of that by watching a Titan vid.
And I don't agree that gay porn is better than straight just because it's two guys. I'm gay, but I could get more turned on by watching a hot straight guy in a flick getting it on with a girl than by watching two guys I don't find attractive engaging in uninteresting sex.
In general, I agree with the theory that guys probably do it somewhat better because they can relate to how it feels. I base that on personal experience. First time I ever had sex with a guy, I was 28. Before that, I only fucked around with women. I'm 43 now, and I can say that most of the bj's I've received from guys were better than the ones I received from girls.
