I remember watching Tyra's interview with Sasha Grey and how hard she tried to make Grey feel like a misguided whore. Now Grey is going to play the lead in Steven Soderbergh's next movie.

lots of "straight men" take it up the butt - hence strap ons. there's a little sexual organ called the prostrate which isn't called straight or gay but that makes them cum. the butt isn't just a gay thing.

I, personally, am against the sex industry for men AND women. However, I think that women are judged more for being porn stars and strippers because we have, throughout history, been thought of as "lesser." Now that we have entered an age when women are beginning to assert themselves as equals, people wonder how some women can still take on jobs which are considered degrading. I think it's equally degrading for males and females, but others don't think it is because men are thought of to be "stronger" and more "in control," whatever that mean.

"I think the real question here is how does this 19-year-old have three kids?"
i thought that too. and he worked at a SUBWAY? that was my Judge Judy moment.

you so obviously know little about anal sex if you mistakenly think 1) it feels like any Saw movie and 2) ypu assume shit is always, if ever, involved. it doesn't really go down like that.

as dear Chuffed noted, I was very (very) charitable to you and not in the least condescending, i could have called you ignorant, homophobic and blatantly sexually uneducated which i did not. count your blessings. i've obviously been here commenting on Jez a lot longer than you so i know what i'm doing.i don't waste time on the small stuff.

and why the straight bartenders were called in is beyond me. they mix drinks and stand behind a bar, not take it up the rear. jeez.
i've met and Met (cough cough) a lot of gay porn stars (and met a few women porn stars too, after all, i live in LA). the girls i've met and hung out with are sweet and fun. we'd have cocktails and go shopping and i'd willingly be their Gay Pet for the day. two friends of mine are also straight male porn stars and i have to say they are in some ways cooler than the gay porn actors i know but maybe that's because the whole "tension" thing is off the table between us. btw, neither of them are short and while one was a Playgirl centerfold, the other actually did nudes for a gay photo company years ago.
tyra's show was funny but not at all for interesting reasons. mainly cause she knew (or her producers did) that the mere notion of GAY SEX would make the audience there all squirmy.

instead of asking about safe sex practices or if there are fair labor practices in the porn community - Tyra asks if the guys GIVE or RECEIVE Christmas presents -_-

But in my mind I was thinking, "Damn, Tyra, didn't you do the same thing"...

There are women who make porn FOR WOMEN, there are women who make porn for men. There are amateurs, there are glossy fake-titted flicks, there's even porn makers who advocate safe, good sex for all.
And that's just the straight vanilla stuff.

Also, it's much easier to tell that a chick is not really into or experienced with going down on another chick, but harder to tell with dudes boning.

Does he high pitch wimpy nerd scream or more deep throated (no pun) scream or??
*I believe that is a sign that a person is lying.

Tyra: So... ARE you gay? (scrunched up face)
Guy: If by "gay," you mean happy that I make all this money doing it with dudes, then YES.

That is a good point if a girl does lesbian porn but claims to be straight no one second guesses her but if a guy goes gay porn and claims to be straight he must be in denial.
"The stuff that the guests said made a lot of sense, like how they're able to "turn it on" in front of the camera, the fact that there's really nothing "intimate" about filming a porn scene, and that when it comes down to it, porn is porn, and it doesn't really matter who or what you're having sex with, because there will always be a disconnect there."
This is why I have given up on porn, the actors never really seem to be into what they are doing because there is no real connection it is just to bodies bumping and grinding. I'd much rater see two people who are in a real relationship or at least two actors who are very are into each other, and when I say into I don't just mean physically.
