I'm a Porn Star: Gay 4 Pay

2016 · 53 min

A candid, talky documentary that breezily unpacks the paradoxes of straight-identifying men in gay porn, equal parts curious and provocative.

Overview
Welcome to the curious, surprising and always outspoken world of straight men who go Gay4Pay. Curiously, there is a disproportionate percentage of men working in gay porn who identify as straight. Why would a straight man do gay porn? What motivates him to try this or make a career of it? Why is there such keen interest and debate into the sexuality and personal lives of these men? And what does it say about us, the viewer that so much of gay porn is dominated by images of straight men?
