The website I use to order movies has started listing gay titles in the new releases each week and I've noticed the price of gay titles is 2-3 times that of straight. Why the big difference? If straight porn was $45 bucks a title, I'd not have much of a collection.

the top gay movies are not any better quality than the top het movies. The gay industry can get away with charging more, so they do. You can get cheap $10 gay DVD's too, though.

I think It probably because the performers charge higher rates.

I read that many gay performers get paid the equivalent of what girls get in straight porn, and sometimes more. I guess it is because there it's more hard to find good talent, and that gay porn is much riskier when it comes to STDs therefore the models want more money.

Another explanation could be that straight porn sells much more copies of movies, and therefore the prices can be lower.

I am sure we discussed this before (search in the gay forum). The bottomline is that there are maybe 4 or 5 companies that make good gay porn and they charge a premium. The wholesale prices for their products are higher than the retail prices for most straight porn.
