Umm? It's like, for the webmasters, give 'em what they want. It's like, for the surfer/searcher, find what turns me on, get off, close browser. Sure seems to me to be sameo-sameo as for straight porn.

Dzinerbear said it -- I'll repeat. If you can understand the motivation behind a straight 'college coeds' bare all' you shouldn't have a problem understanding a gay 'college boys bare all' site. One turns on a straight guy maybe searching to relive his college days or having fantasies about younger meat -- ditto the other, except the guy. There are some unique niches in both camps, but far more that are almost identical.

Woops -- thanks LdyLnWolf1 -- that puts a different spin on it.

"I think he's wanting to figure out if the traffic off of a "straight" tgp is actually straight men looking at the gay niche, or is it actually gay men clicking thru... or even women looking for solo stud sites --if that makes sense? If we list on straight tgps -- who are we actually having click thru." -- LdyLnWolf1

A straight tgp with a strong gay presence will have all three types traffic. A stright tgp with a weak gay presence will usually only bring you straight curious guys and stud seeking women.

My guess is you'll never know what traffic you're receiving unless you have ways to filter it to a hard core gay site, a hot stud for women site, vs a bi curious (or similar) site. Even then you'll be guessing to some degree; for example what about the lesbian traffic that may go to any of the three (depending upon her degree of comfort).

If what you're offering at a stright tgp within their gay category (assuming no sub-categories for becoming more specific) is just generic 'gay' you may get mostly the stright curious dudes, 'cause gay guys and those hot stud seaking women want exactlty what they want -- usually no generic.

Offer hot solo studs and you may get all three -- 'cause that appeals to some gay guys, women looking for hot studs and some curious, but afraid to look at gay sex, straight(?) guys.

Summary, tpg traffic is usually surfers that wants what you said you were selling in the gallery you posted.
