• Gay DVD rental websites 1/14/2006 5:43:25 PM
  
  I've used XRentDVD and gave up on them, and a long time ago I used WantedList. Now I'm just renting straight movies from BushDVD (good service, so far.) However, I'd like to find a gay service that meets these criteria: --located on West Coast or reasonably near Southern Calif. --stocks mail-order type DVDs, like those from CocoDorm, Streetcam, etc. --has a large stock of black, Latino, and other ethnic videos Any suggestions?

• Pet Peeve-Identifying Male Performers 10/23/2005 9:35 PM
  
  I'm sure the majority of you don't really care, but believe it or not, there are a lot of gay viewers like myself who buy or rent straight DVDs. And, just like straight guys have their favorite female performers, many of us like to see certain guys. It's very annoying when the neither the box cover, nor the rental website, nor the video itself, identifies the male performers. I've noticed this in at least half of the videos I've seen lately, and it seems to vary on a studio-by-studio basis. If any studio types are out there-- how much extra work would be involved in consistently identifying the male performers in all of your videos?

• Gay--Straight talent pay 10/23/2005 8:30 PM
  
  As with anything else, supply and demand. Obviously there are a lot more straight men out there ... and any straight men who are willing to be "gay for pay" on video will want to get paid a lot to do so. I'm sure there are thousands of straight men who'd do porn for free. I don't think you'd find that many gay men who'd do so. Of course the other big reason is that in straight videos, the men are just props ... supposedly the audience is only looking at and interested in the women, whereas in gay videos, the men are the focus of the attention.
