gay for pay

Post Reply New Topic

It's a misnomer. Someone can't choose to be gay.

True, but there are folks who would act gay if there was significant financial incentive to do so.

There was a movie about an actor dressing up as an actress to find work.

I'm gay for free

If you are talking about prostitution, the willingness to engage in sexual acts with members of the same sex for money despite being heterosexual, at least where men and boys are concerned, this is common, especially where poverty is rife. But nobody has changed orientation, just changed their behavior.

The same is true for porn. It's been said (I don't know by whom, originally) that there is no such thing as gay porn because so many of the actors are straight and do it for the money. Still no one has changed orientation.

In porn, "gay for pay" is when a straight performer engages in same-sex acts so that they can get paid and/or climb the ranks to move on to doing straight porn. A lot of people are willing to do things they don't actually enjoy so that they can make money or advance their careers, and that includes straight men who have gay sex on camera.

How much money are we talking about here?
