No offense to gay porn blogger JC Adams, who wrote what was an adequate round-up on gay porn couples (though why he chose to include dead people over actual gay porn stars still alive and/or gay porn stars still actually in relationships is something of a mystery), but Queerty talking about gay porn is as relevant as, well, Queerty itself.
I could start writing about gay teen bullying or doing RuPaul’s Drag Race recaps, but there’s a reason I don’t: I don’t give a shit about that shit. Also, I would have no idea what the hell I was talking about. (Not that I have any idea what the hell I’m talking about when it comes to most everything else, but at least I know how to fake it when it counts.) Queerty publishing an article about gay porn is like if the Disney Channel tried to produce a kids version of The Human Centipede. Why even fucking bother? Also, Queerty’s increasingly frequent articles on gay porn might sex up their homepage and bring them moar page views, but what it also does is create one more forum for assholes to talk about things and people they obviously know nothing about.
And I’m not talking about the assholes who write for Queerty. This is about the assholes who are even worse than the assholes who write for Queerty: The assholes who comment on Queerty articles. Here are the “best” (i.e., worst) comments from today’s article on gay porn couples:
— Is it supposed to implied that I know who any of these people are?
— Sorry to burst the bubble girls but once you accept coin for sex (either as a prostitute or adult video performer) you can NEVER have a regular love life because it is forever after something to be bartered for and not shared. San Francisco is full of old whores still trying to get paid for it. It’s a sad sight.
— I don’t believe you can take the single most physiologically possible act that conveys intimacy between yourself and another man, reduce it to something barter-able or shared with strangers whose names you don’t even learn, then, when you decide you’re “in love,” raise it back to something scared between you and only one other person. Not if you have what I understand to be a conscience.
— Sorry, but a lot of them are brainless drug taking sex machines. Just check any of their blogs and you’ll see for yourself.
— (in reply to a comment from porn star Kennedy Carter) The odds really are stacked against you as far as being taken seriously. And I’ve just checked out your blog. Sorry but I just can’t take you seriously after reading that shit. You wouldn’t know a healthy relationship if it stared you in the face! Hmmmm, I wonder why people have bad impressions of porn performers. Gee, I wonder why! You guys keep talking about seperating [sic] sex and love. Have you ever tried to combine the two? Don’t kid yourself, buddy. All that pretense in your life will wear thin soon enough.
— WHO CARES ABOUT THESE VIDEO WHORES???? TALK ABOUT REAL GAY ISSUES…SUICIDE…..ELDER GAY CARE…HIV MEDS
Lovely.
I have a degree in Counseling. I have seen porn performers and prostitutes by the carload for a variety of reasons from substance abuse to you name it. Working the sex industry takes the intimacy and validation aspect OUT of the sexual component of human relationships. It also compartmentalizes every other aspect of human sexuality and turns the romantic/desire quotient of human relationships into a power/money dynamic. Not to mention partners of these guys who have a whole host of other issues surrounding the fact that others continually objectify their partner.
And yet. . .you’re here.
fuck those sanctimonious preachers. Like they have universal Truth on relationships
I quit reading Queerty because it wasn’t as entertaining as the porn blogs. Maybe I should give it another go huh?
I agree with the majority of those statements…actually it’s about 99% :-)
Bitter old queens who have never had a “valentine”.
Hmmm. Well, I do agree with some of the comments listed as worse.
Actually, I’d like RuPaul Drag Race updates. I love the show.
Benjamin Bradley and Roman Heart? Last I read one of them got interviewed at an awards show and bitched “Tell HIM to give me the money he owes me.” Gay porn star couples, they’re just like you and me.
oh, Roman wasn’t being interviewed when he said that, he said it ON STAGE… i think while accepting an award on Benjamin’s behalf? he was definitely on stage accepting something. the wave of awkward-delight that washed over the crowd was pretty fun.
It was at last year’s Grabby’s. And it was hilarious.
Why are you so angry? And speaking of traffic-whoring: Instagram round-up.
Cause he’s also a whore and Queerty is taking away the old gal’s customers.
