Okay,I personally do not think what these guys are doing is wrong.Like Kurt has said before "porn is porn",it's adult entertainment,and most people,oh,I'm sorry,every pornstar does it for the money for the most part. And it's not true that they get to be gay for only a certain amount of time during the day and then just walk out and not face discrimination.Look what happened to Kurt,he got FIRED from his job just because some people think that he was gonna "gay up" the sandwiches or whatever. I personally would not go into pornography,and of course would not recommend anybody to do it.If my friends tell me they want to do it,I'll just say "Okay,it's your life,your choice,and I'm your friend so I will support you." I'd do that because they won't be harming anybody by doing a porn scene,no. And if I were Kurt,someday when my kids are old enough,I'll tell them about the "old job" that I had,and tell them that it was a choice I made when I was young,and ask them not to look me up because I don't want them to be scarred for life. And of course you can make friends on myspace,but who wants to make friends online?Isn't that how rapists find young girls? Anyway,porn is just adult entertainment.I'm 17,I'm very open-minded,I don't do things just because a lot of people are doing em too.So,like I said,I wouldn't do porn,but I don't judge people that do,just as long as they're not doing anything illegal or harmful.
This message is for Mark O in response to your 01/24/09 4:36AM post which said: "Thos guy are full of it. There is no way a so called STRAIGHT guy is gonna be ablel to have sex with another man unless he is in some way attrackted to the other man. Me personally, I can't even stay arroused by another gay guy that isn't attractive to me(attractivly challanged). So how is a straight man going to be able to have sex with someone they say they are in no way attrackted to??? They are just making excueses to make it right in their own eyes." Let me let you in on a little tidbit about the porn industry... I was a fluffer and if you don't understand what that is then it is no wonder you made such a redundant statement.... Believe me attraction has NOTHING to do with porn it is long and tedious and boring and one scene can take hours to make and edit and the fluffer is there to keep things up. Educate yourself buddy...
Hi forum there are a lot of opinions here. What I think is that every individual is an individual and there is never truly any black or white because life is gray. The one common denominator in everyone's view is that there are absolutes and that is not the way reality is. We (as a human race) are totally who we are and what we do doesn't necessarily define who we are. If these men are straight and screw other men for money who cares. I will still sleep peacefully. If they are gay and claim they are straight for the staus quo of their existence who cares. I will still sleep peacefully. It really doesn't matter. I enjoyed the show though it was very entertaining to me. But I don't understand what all the fuss is about it because it really doesn't matter; it will in no wise change your life one way or the other. Tell me folks, these men screwing other men how the HELL is that affecting your everyday life!!!! Get over it!!! Move on they are over the legal age and it is their DAMN BUSINESS!!!! The only reason they were on the show was probably to boost their fan base... Calm down folks, the earth is still rotating....
I worked in the gay adult industry in the 90's and work with mostly of str8 guys (gay for pay). One of those guys was "Matt Sanchez" (Brad Stone). On the Tyra Banks show he said it had been 20 years since he had worked in gay porn. At most it has only been 11-12 years. I'm glad to see that he has been successful in his new life choice. He was pretty lost back then (drugs and personal issues.
The logical person in me knows that sexual arousal and sexual behavior are two different things. So it is entirely possible for both genders to participate in sexual activities without having to be aroused. So yes, there may be gay for pay in reality. But as a gay man, I want desperately for people to understand homosexuality is no more unusual than heterosexuality. It becomes a gripe when you hear the terrible stories of LGBT youths who struggle. The tales of youths subjected to rehabilitation centers to address homosexuality - because after all it is a choice, right? The parents of a friend of my thought so. Under this delusion that it is a choice, they kidnapped my friend and forced him into those centers. He committed suicide a year later after “successfully” achieving heterosexuality. So gay for pay hits that nerve for me - it reinforces those feelings of shame and the idea that gays are really heterosexuals with psychological issues. This talk show really didn’t help anyone.
Hi Tyra. The recent show that you did o gay for pay just blew me away. How can a person claim they are still straight while engaging in sexual activity with the same sex... I could not believe it especially while most of these men are in relationships with girl.. I think it is still ok to work at a gay bar, that is not an issue but being paid to be in a gay sex scene while you are claiming you are straight wow.. I just thought id give you my thoughts.. You are an amazing women and your shows are so amazing the differant things that you talk about , i wouldnt even think they exsist . I just want to thank you so much for everything you do and for giving us girls a better outlook on life.. Later Danielle
JUST DON'T THINK I WOULD BEND THAT LOW!!!
THEIR GAY, NO DOUBT. AINT NO MOUNTAIN OF MONEY HIGH ENOUGH. DANGER !!!
Great show! Excellent topic! I am the managing editor of GayAgenda.com (the website with the article you flashed on your show). I interviewed Kurt Wild, as you know, and wish I had been invited onto the show to give my opinion and the opinion of the readers from 154 countries world-wide. Thank you for addressing issues of the LGBT community. I would love to be a part of one of your future shows that pertain to such issues.
Thos guy are full of it. There is no way a so called STRAIGHT guy is gonna be ablel to have sex with another man unless he is in some way attrackted to the other man. Me personally, I can't even stay arroused by another gay guy that isn't attractive to me(attractivly challanged). So how is a straight man going to be able to have sex with someone they say they are in no way attrackted to??? They are just making excueses to make it right in their own eyes.
Very interesting discussion going on here. I, however missed the episode and don't know how I can find it online. Can someone please suggest? Would love to get in on this discussion. Thanks, to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Now if my man is an actor and he plays a gay role(not a intense scene) it's okay. It's not okay for my man to be escorting other men out or especially porn. We would no longer be together. Money or not some things you just don't do unless it's truly who you are.
I just want to say that I don't think any STRAIGHT guy in the right mind would ever do gay for pay as you so call it. These guys that do Gay porn have to be gay or bi sexual because if you are straight there is no way that you could get an erection and feel ok with what your doing. these guys might have some sort of want and need and sometimes it might be for the money but other times it's just for the curiosity. Kurt saying that he has a wife and kids I think it's all a lie because what girl again in the right mind would feel comfortable with his husband having sex with guys??? What morals would that family have??? this is just out of the question and if you find most of these peoples myspace you will see that they are gay but really just deny it and love to appear on shows like this to make more controversy. for example AJ is gay and said and explained why he can't say he is gay. in his myspace he came out and explained so with that said all guys are gay or bi.I am so disappointing but they are gay or around the same bush and deny it very well.
I hate when people force the Bible into situations like this. I believe that those guys truly are just in it for the money. That's a lot of money and maybe they really need it. I know there are different ways (that most of you would probably consider better) of making money. Most of you probably don't know them personally, so you shouldn't judge them based on an hour t.v. show. It's their lives, not yours. They should be able to live it any way they choose to. If their wives/girlfriends are okay with it, then that's all that matters. Just because they do this for their job, doesn't necessarily make them gay. They're good looking. More power to them.
I think that pornography hurts people but that doesnt mean its going to stop, so... I think what those guys are doing its not right (on the issue of pornography in general) but its right at the same time. Maybe men who are gay for pay couldnt find another job so they had to do what they had to do. The sad thing is that they are doing it for the money and because they get paid more, so now its not about paying the bills but its about earning more money. Plus, straight guys are alot hotter than gay men.
