As human beings, we are complicated. When it comes to sexuality, this is no different. Many believe sexuality, like gender, is fluid, and may change and fluctuate throughout your life. At Dirty Minds Media, we believe you should be your truest self and if that means your sexuality is a little more fluid than others – go for it! This complex fluidity is something many of us may come across in our lives. It also may explain the volume of straight identifying men and women watching gay porn videos. In this blog, we’re going to take a closer look at why this might be and what attracts straight people to gay porn.
The Facts
First of all, let’s take a look at the stats. A study found that 21% of straight men watch gay porn videos. This is 1 in 5! The study also found that 55% of gay men watched straight porn. The study proved exactly what it set out to prove – that sexuality isn’t as static as some people think it is. The straight men who were studied didn’t typically have sex with gay men. this meant the only potential thing about their sexuality that was gay, was their porn habits.
Another study showed that women who use Pornhub are 69% more likely to watch gay male porn videos than they are to watch any straight porn. They also enjoyed watching lesbian porn too.
Why Do Straight Men Watch Gay Porn Videos?
The men that were studied all said they had never had gay sex and wouldn’t do so – so why are they watching gay porn? Gay porn is all about fantasy, something that Dirty Minds Media know all about. Our website was born from a love of fantasy and the need to share it with the world. Manuel and his best friend JC love sexual fantasy and playing with the boundaries of what is sexy. With a passion for eroticism, Dirty Minds Media came about, and today, we provide content that we hope many people will enjoy, no matter your gender or sexual orientation.
The porn we watch doesn’t always match up with who we are attracted too or who we have sex with. We might find the content of certain porn to be boring, under stimulating, or not targeting to certain fetishes. For example, a lot of the gay porn videos on Dirty Minds Media are targeted at fetishes and kinks, including feet, armpits, and leather. These are things that are very heavily linked to gay porn, however, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t straight men out there who aren’t into it. Straight men may watch gay porn like ours as it matches up with what they are attracted to and what they enjoy fetish wise.
Why Do Straight Women Watch Gay Porn Videos?
Straight porn has become something a lot of women don’t even think about anymore. When asked to state why they prefer watching gay porn videos, women have suggested that most straight porn is aimed at men. It is entirely about getting a man off and when it comes to porn; men want to see different things to women. A lot of the focus is on the female and if you’re not attracted to females, straight porn won’t be fun to watch. With gay porn, straight women have the biggest chance of being able to look at men and not be interrupted by camera angels of women. They also find that not only does lesbian porn not give straight women anything to look at, but it is also often catering for a male’s gaze as many straight men are attracted to watching women have sex with each other.
Another thing women find is that straight porn is simply too aggressive. There is a heavy reliance and push on hardcore BDSM, violence and degradation towards women within straight porn that wouldn’t be present within a gay porn video.
The Kinsey Scale
As we mentioned, one of the other reasons straight people watch gay porn is down to fluidity of people’s sexuality. This can be measured by The Kinsey Scale. The Kinsey Scale was developed by Dr Alfred Kinsey, Dr Wardell Pomeroy, and Clyde Martin. This scale was the first of its type to suggest that sexuality didn’t fit into the previously assigned boxes and labels society had laid out for it. It suggested that much like gender, it is a fluid scale and can change throughout people’s lifetime. It found that no matter their sexual behaviour, history, thoughts, and feelings towards the same or opposite sex, people’s sexualities are not always the same throughout time.
This may be the case for those straight men who watch gay porn videos. Whilst they identify as straight and have never had sex with men, there may be something they find attractive about men. On the 0-6 scale, this would probably sit at number 1 or 2. 1 means predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual, and two means predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual.
