oh, yeah. Paul and I booked a room through hotwire when we went to Hawaii last year. 5star, on the beach, it was great. Of course, at the time, he was also a frequent business traveler so they upgraded his room to a gorgeous view of aforementioned beach as well. Yummy. It was actually the best hotel experience we had.
In some sense, really, it is about what you can tell your family it is that you do. And, you know, porn is about one step up from hookin', though in the gay community, neither has the stigma they do in mainstream culture.
For me, it's not really about money. It's about doing something I can be proud of, something which is notably positive, not a zero-sum equation like porn.
Well, I wouldn't be ashamed of producing porn so much as I just think life is too short to deal with the majority of friends and family who would have a difficult time accepting it (and by extension me).
And though I've never worried about social stigmas, I do agree with it being a step above hooking, which is why I would never perform in one...I don't have sex with anyone whose main purpose in the act is anything other than he thinks I am hot and totally wants to be with me.
But adult erotica will be around for all time, and there is part of me that would like to show how I believe the artform can be elevated to a higher level of authenticity and ultimately giving people the experience for which they look to porn in the first place.
I've always had a fantasy about being in a porn movie... I would never do it, but it's a secret fantasy of mine... I've never even let myself be videotaped... but maybe I should some day... :)
I agree with you, to a degree, about the Sean Cody site. And I think you're friend nailed it (so to speak) - it IS about the fantasy of getting a straight guy to do sex things for the queer pigs, even if you know it's not true. But that's like any porn, really. Who the hell believes half the jackassery "story" lines in porn - it's about the fantasy that these things could actually happen, not that they do. On another note, I'm heading to NYC in a about a month, I'll check out Hotwire, thanks for the tip!
Interestingly enough, the fantasy element of porn is not what turns me on for the most part. I get off on the "real" moments in any given scene where it is so obvious that I am watching two (or more) men truly indulging in one another in spite of the "lights, camera, action!" element that permeates the entire environment
