Have we had enough of the "come watch the straight boy jack off" yet? Why are gay business men missing the boat? Why are so many sites so fixated on the straight guy thing?

Its the predatory nature of guys they are trying to capitalize with than kind of lead, and the desire to want what you can not have.
I can understand that. I always want one thing I can't have... sex!!!
Hmm, this has come up in my last five posts (except the one about Sea Monkeys). Hmmm, maybe I just need to get out more.
would that be cowboys eating pudding?
I suppose it's natural to fantasize somewhat about a straight friend or co-worker, but I am rather surprised at the abundance of sites pushing the "straight guy does gay" angle. Is it really all about wanting what you can't have?

I actually jumped on the band wagon last year for a split second but it felt so wrong. Then again, I hate generic porn which is 99.9999 percent of what's on the net now so I will never be satsfied anyway.
I've never been big on the straight guy goes gay thing. For myself. I had a crush on a straight guy once and it all ended in misery and heartache.
Thanks, I feel so much better now.
LOL its from southpark, when the film festival visitsQuote:

I did, however, do a feature on this very topic for an upcoming issue (May) of AVN Online magazine. I got a lot of people from this board to comment for the story, but I had to keep my opinions completely out of the piece. And even though the questions were presented very objectively, a few of the people who participated got very heated in their responses, as if I was the devil incarnate just for asking them. But I may revisit this topic for my new opinion column in the magazine. I just have to choose my words VERY carefully. :)
Personally, I think this niche is rather tired (not to mention just a little exploitative of both gay and straight men), but it's the bread and butter for a lot of people, and it's impossible to criticize something that makes people money. Nobody wants to hear anything negative about the thing that pays their rent. The businessperson in me agrees with them completely, and I think they are very smart for exploiting a genre that is, at the moment, very lucrative. The politically active, socially conscious gay man in me, however, is still uncomfortable with how much this niche continues to infiltrate gay culture and influence the way we think of ourselves and other gay men.
I think I should stop there, though. I can already feel the heated stares being directed at me. :)
Ken, I hear ya, man. And it ain't going to be quiet for long because in the distance I hear a pig grunting and the Pig speaks the truth. You'll see. :)

Well, being a formerly straight man... after all, that's why my name is xstr8guy... I can understand the fascination. Straight guys are untainted by the gay world... fresh and new. When I first started being gay, I got more play because I was a curious about everything. I think I frustrated a lot of guys though because I didn't want to do much except jack-off... at least at first. ;)
