Am I bad for the gay market?

[BradShaw]

Someone told me that in LA. I laughed. IMHO, we have done better with the gay market then about ever "straight" programs out there.

I doubt anyone has given you that much thought to be honest $0.02

Lee, are you sure? .rainbowrevenue.com is one of the top gay programs and we are doing about 100 custom content shoots a month.

Well, you didn't tell us the whole story. What was their reason for saying this?

Because we shootly mostly non condom stuff.

[basschick]

Both. My personal opinion is that I cant stand to watch porn with condoms, so many average guys must share that opinion as well.

And sometimes I wish that people used spellcheck when posting on boards. Maxpower's posts are totally unreadable, but I see there are many others that post stuff that is full of grammar lapses... And I'm asuming english is their native language...

...Or post stuff that actually makes no sense... I'm still not sure what you are trying to ask in this post?

In order to be consistent with my strong free expression views, I have no issue with companies that produce non-condom or bareback videos, gay or straight. I believe that models need to be fully informed of the risks being taken when not using protection, but as long as what is being filmed is consenting adults engaged in legal acts, I am not about to tell someone which way their moral compass should point in regards to the video they shoot.

Well, the way I see it, you're not "bad" for the market at all. The market itself knows no such thing as morals or ethics. Money is money. Just ask any web producer who produces straight-guy niche content. They will usually tell you they don't have many concerns about what kind of a message straight-guy content sends to gay men; it's about the money. People want to see it, therefor they offer it. That's just simple economics: supply-and-demand.

That much has to be acknowledged. It also should be acknowledged that you are offering content to people who share your views on condoms in porn, and they have just as much a right to view the content they wish to see as those who prefer to see content shot with condoms.

However, the question remains whether or not your content is "bad" for the gay community, and that, my friend, is another story entirely. That would depend on whether or not you feel it is important to promote safer sex in adult content.

By the way, I hate using terms like "bad" and "good" when it comes to topics like this one. I prefer to stick to more constructive terms, and just view a situation for what it is rather than make moral assumptions about what kind of people produce certain kinds of content. I leave that to those moral grandstanders who think themselves better than everyone else.

I believe sometimes we talk “American” I can see how someone from Slovenia would have trouble keeping up, but we could live with out a English lesson from some potato farmer. :innocent:

[chadknowslaw]

But we cannot decide what is "good" porn and what is "bad" porn.

Because if _we_ decide what is good and bad, that means that someone other than the viewer decides what is good or bad for him, and I am not about to let someone else decide for me what is good for me.

And we DEFINITELY do not want some morals police to decide what is good porn [not harmful to the gay community] and what is bad porn [harmful to the gay community].

Of course, your freedom of expression allows you to say all day long and to everyone that will listen that bareback films are bad for the community. ;-)

If you're referring to "American" meaning "uneducated," then I agree with you. I can't believe how many people are TERRIBLE spellers!

I mean, come on. Literacy is important, people!
