Is Bareback Porn The New 'Twink'?

It seems like everyone is launching bareback sites these days, from existing programs through to programs launching their first gay sites.

Do you think that this is indicitive of what gay surfers want or is this more an example of what started happening in the straight side of the business with people running out of ideas and just launching sites based on the most 'extreme' niches these site owners can think of?

Your thoughts, is the gay porn world already heading the way the straight market did in that we're going to have to start offering more and more hardcore/extreme content in order to make sales?

If your theory is right that the straight market felt they had to get more extreme to make sales then their logic is flawed.

The key to making money is giving the surfers of your particular niche what they want. Extreme content is a niche, not an end destination of a mainstream porn migration.

Bareback sex is not extreme, it's natural. Gay monkeys fucking in the wild don't use condoms ;) (yes they do exist, see video)

Squirt,

You are right bareback porn in and of itself isnt an extreme niche however, i feel that many of the companies launching bareback porn sites are doing so because they view it as 'extreme' the same way in the straight market throat gagging is viewed as extreme.

Looking over several of the new sites that have been launched in the last 6 months you can clearly see that bareback porn IS being marketed by many companies (gay and straight) as 'extreme'.

Wow that's interesting. I haven't been paying attention. Why isn't condomless straight sex marketed as extreme?

Maybe bareback porn is the nex new twink?

I like seeing it bare! WOOF!

i'd say that college guys are the new twink, but bareback is certainly a close second.

it's always interesting to watch as a large number of companies jump on a bandwagon and oversaturate the niche so well that it stops selling any better than general.

Yeah, about 2 years ago! Lol. Seriously, I had to look to see if this wan't an old thread.

But I do agree with Patti. I think straight guy/jock/frat is the most popular niche now.

Which is exactly my point, dont forget until about 2 years ago, everyone was still launching 'twink' sites like they were going out of fashion, for the last 2/3 years it seems we have moved on to bareback porn sites.

perhaps its a sign of our times when surfers want to watch "boyfriends" having sex bareback - like the tube videos but in a more professional quality level

True but then again, i havent seen a single bareback site in the last 2 years that has launched with the premise of the models being partners so i dont think thats it.

Seems to me that there has been so much hype about Bareback within the Industry (articles on boards, AVN, GAYVN, Xbiz) and how cliche it is, but that it is selling; that several content producers and webmasters felt inspired to jump on the bandwagon. Definitely wouldn't be the first time :)

a lot of our videos on RealBareback feature boyfriends / partners - we have had a lot of success advertising this fact too.

Just thought that I would let you guys know how things are currently going over at AEBN...
As of friday, out of the top 10 best selling movies (for the month)
2 were straight.
2 were non-bareback.
I think 3 had at something to do with military (either themed, or military guys)
I'm fairly sure I remember Muscle being in the categories at least four or five times. Maybe more.

So yes... Bareback sells better for us. Whether that's indicative of the demand, or just the over-whelming supply...

As a side note, though... Personally, I'd go to Chili's boyfriend site. I find it closer to my own tastes. :x
