SeanCody: Dan & Sheridan (Bareback)

Lets not be fake about things. We all know what people mean when they go out of their way to say twink this, twink that. We want manlier guys, etc. There are preferences and then there is bias. I have no issue with people having their own preferences but I do have a problem with negative biases. Hell, call these dudes unattractive, that’s your view on them, whatever, to me, finding guys like this unattractive means you’re picky as hell, but all things aside, that’s individual preference. People not finding Dan and Sheridan attractive individually is one thing. But no, what’s said CONSTANTLY is “this guy is too twinkish” (which has been repeated in this very thread), “this guy is too skinny”, “this guy isn’t masculine enough”, Sean Cody is jumping the shark because they’re hiring twinks. It’s the drooling over the buff bod macho straight guys and it’s disavowal of the rest. Dio you may like Billy, cool, he was fucking sexy to me, so yeah, you have your preferences on appearance, but it’s undeniable that a lot of the constant s**t talking is based on homophobia and Billy would definitely have been even more popular if he were more masculine. That’s why straight guys are the ones getting the most attention even though they suck at porn. Because they’re masculine and reasonably attractive enough. If it’s not about that then why is it that Brandon, Stu and Coleman get by far the most attention even on posts that aren’t about them? Curtis hasn’t been around a while, he’s a cute guy who actually loves gay sex. Where’s his love? He’s beefy, masculine and bisexual. If he were straight he’d probably be more loved.

It’s something some here don’t even notice or see in themselves and others. Elmtree, what’s the difference between using twink as an insult and using faggot? There’s a little bit but here’s the thing—-it’s more or less saying that X guy is not masculine enough. He’s not enough of a man. That is homophobia. It’s basically saying he’s too gay. Again, is it a coincidence that it’s straight men that are the most popular men on this site? No it is not. Sites like CF, and CM completely play on the straight boy angle and those two sites are very popular sites. It’s not really about they being straight, though, if they have good sex and enjoy sex with men, it’s good sex. It’s really that they aren’t stereotypically gay. Or just average. No, we need masculine straight-acting. Whatever the hell that means. Even though these “straight” guys can barely stay hard during scenes, like Jordan.

There are attractive and unattractive guys, who are gay and who are straight. My argument really isn’t one about sexuality per se and more about being anti-fem and borderline hypermasculinity. Billy was popular but he wasn’t even the most popular back in the day. It was Parker. And Danny. And Harley. And they’re all straight-identifying.

I’m not attacking ALL posters here or saying every single poster here thinks the same thing, but there are very very clear repeated actions and statements made. BTW, when I say that these guys wouldn’t give you the time of day, who knows? Some here may be as cute as these guys in porn, or more attractive. But don’t be so negative and rude towards the appearances of others unless you’re willing to put your own pictures up.

People in this very thread have used twink as an insult. When it’s used as an insult it’s directed towards guys who aren’t super masculine. The term itself isn’t an insult, but it’s used that way. AKA against Brett Swanson and how people call him girl and fairy even when he was increasingly growing into his masculinity. Or against Sheridan, Brent and Rich on SC.

I’m not being insecure, I’m not riled up (come on, this is a porno blog) just calling things what they are. It is what it is. Again, there are guys on this very page upset because Sean Cody has casted more fewer hardbody types lately, forgetting about dudes like Brock. That’s not the problem at all, we like what we like; the problem is this “I want to see manly men and not *these* types of guys” attitude that seeps in with several posters, and the intent is clear. I couldn’t care less who does or doesn’t like Dan or Sheridan, although it would be nice to be a little less rude in giving opinions.

Bigben, you’ve sort of made one of my points. You want to see straight guys having sex, and straight-acting guys, which is your right of course, but yeah. The straight vs gay thing isn’t even what I was discussing, but in regards to porn, fantasy is reality. The reality is you’re fantasizing over straight men having sex, and thus who is infiltrating gay porn? Straight guys. What do companies promote their products with? The allure of straight men fucking. That wouldn’t be a problem, if they didn’t constantly talk up their straightness or could perform like actual non-heterosexual men do. Gay porn is not straight porn and there are awesome non-straight performers on Sean Cody who actually are, you know, good at and enjoying the sex. But it doesn’t matter, because they’re not straight acting enough, or straight at all. Then people complain about the quality of porn declining.

Thanks Litper for the agreement :)

Elmtree, people on this very thread have used the term twink as a means to call a guy too fem and not masculine enough, therefore an insult. I never said twink was an insulting term, it isn’t, but that’s my point, it’s being used as an insult, with reason. And it’s being used as an insult against guys deemed not masculine enough. Dio, Landon Conrad isn’t a twink but had always gotten the “you’re not a credible top” card from almost day one because he’s fairly fem overall and people couldn’t imagine a non overly masculine guy topping. People assumed Landon was a bottom and he said several times he didn’t get it and that he wasn’t. Now he’s bottoming and that’s gone away because he’s not strict top anymore. Brett isn’t even that twinkish anymore, more like a twunk. But he copped a LOT of crap on this site when he was more fem in appearance and act when he was younger. We have our preferences and we all want to see ourselves in the porn we watch but at the same time there is a difference between preference and bias.

My problem is with the anti-fem attitudes on this site that *some* here most definitely have. It’s not about the term twink, or straight vs gay, it’s about anti-fem attitudes. And it’s about homophobia. And at least a few here see my point so I know I’m not the only one who sees it.
