Another story that I've saving up for a while is this one about gay porn in Prague. The site of East European boys - celebrating the twink performer identity - in porn out of the Czech Republic has become an increasingly common one and a short documentary (embedded below) explores what's going on there - and why men are performing as 'gay 4 pay'. It makes for interesting reading. I'd be curious what other people make of it.The article/doc don't make for a flattering image of the industry. The piece concludes that: Having worked on the other side of the business, [one interviewee] now understands. “It always starts with ads for modeling and goes slowly from there,” he says. When a guy shows up, he is always told it’s nude modeling. Some guys leave right away, some will stay. A producer will tell them they could get more money if they did solo masturbation. Some think about it and accept. Then even more money if they do a sex scene with another guy. It progresses slowly, but “you wake up and realize you are on a train that you can’t get off of.” Or, even before that happens, the producer might say “they no longer need you because you are old news.”
In porn, everyone is always looking for the next thing, the new guy. Porn is fantasy. People don’t want to keep seeing the same faces and bodies. The models want to know what’s next and, usually, end up as escorts and hustlers.
