Since “Gay For Pay” seems to be one of the most discussed topics among Queer Me Now readers (or pretty much every gay porn blogs in general). I think you might want to take a look at this upcoming documentary called “Straight Guys.”
STRAIGHT GUYS follows filmmaker Daniel Laurin on a personal journey to explore the hidden desire many gay men feel towards straight men – through the curious genre of online pornography known as ‘Straight-Guy Porn’.
I came across Straight Guys from a tweet by porn star Conner Habib who’s interviewed by Daniel Laurin for this documentary. Check out Straight Guys website, filmmaker Daniel also spent 4 days on the set of CHAOSMEN.COM (I’m jealous of this already) You can read about it here, 4 days of Chaos.
Another thing to keep an eye on, according to the homepage of Straight Guys, he mentioned that they travel through the “gay porn hubs of the United States” – San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Please note that Sean Cody is based in San Diego and Corbin Fisher is in Las Vegas! It would be awesome if Daniel would go on the set of Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher and brings us rare behind the scenes coverage!
[UPDATE] Daniel just informed me that he’s not speaking to either Sean Cody or Corbin Fisher, both companies declined to be interviewed. The Vegas and San Diego reference was from his project proposal.
Porn star, lecturer, author and sexpert Conner Habib sat down with me yesterday in San Francisco’s beautiful Dolores Park to talk to me about his experience working with straight-identified performers, shooting scenes with their girlfriends present
“Are the guys really straight?” The answer, at least based on what I saw this weekend, is yes.
I asked them if they had fun. Glenn was first to answer, and he basically answered no. He liked the environment, the people he works with, but no, it was never hot.
As while Bay identifies as straight, he admits to having “a bi side”, and laments the fact that during a shoot you have no time to “get intimate” with your scene partner.
Theon and I spoke afterwards about his fears of his girlfriend finding out, how he’ll read fan comments to see what people liked and didn’t like about his performance, and how he incorporated a few of the more interesting sexual positions into his own personal repertoire.
During the interview he mentioned detaching himself from the moment – “You’re there doin’ it, but your brain is somewhere else.”

James says
Call me old, but really don’t care how performers identify. Kiss, suck, fuck, and be fucked. If a model can do those things, then we’re cool. That and no anti-gay comments.
mrs sue says
I really hope Bryan STOPS hiring str8 guys. stop destroying the industry.
crakpot says
Maybe that’s the reason why Glenn’s scenes are so boring.
Marco says
Well, if the acting is fine… I mean who expects the murderer in a movie to be a real-life killer?
Boyeur says
James, I agree and I would only call you wise.
mrs sue, I don’t get it. Chaosmen is a wonderful site and I have been a member for years. Besides, how could hiring practices at one site affect the whole of an industry? The top sites all hire virtually only straight men.
Glenn’s scenes are wonderful. Glenn is beautiful, sweet, quiet and masculine. He could be in every scene from here to eternity and I would, as a paying member, be quite happy.
Martin Shorts says
I’m always secretly happy when it’s never the guy I fancy.
Martin Shorts says
Marco, I compare it to straight women not being comfortable with a gay man playing straight. It just kills the fantasy completely.
samwise says
During the few times I think of straight men, I think of people like John Wayne, Robert Shaw, Barack Obama, to name a few. Those guys would never do what the men at Sean Cody, Corbin Fisher and ChaosMen do. Straight, my ass. These guys can deny it all they want but they obviously have a little bisexuality in them.
Dean says
Should be interesting. Hope they get to go behind the scenes with more than just Chaos Men. btw is Vander gay for pay/ straight, bi, gay or what?
Anderson says
ChaosMen always was boring!
Anderson says
btw, where’s MarcoManuel to comment that?
andrew says
Some of the best performers in gay porn identify or are identified by others as gay4pay.The whole discussion about which one prefers: gay or gay4pay porn actors assumes that its an all or nothing thing. Dr. Kinsey discovered over 50 years ago that the male sexual response is far more varied than that. He identified some males as Kinsey 0 – 100% heterosexual, some others as Kinsey – 6 100% homosexual and many others fall somewhere in the middle continuum. I suspect that few of those identified as gay4pay are Kinsey 0, They probably lie farther along the continuum – Kinsey 1, 2 or even 3. The important thing is that they make great hot gay sex on camera.
litper says
Not this again! Is this 1950 or 2013?
Brett says
I still don’t understand how a supposedly straight man could bring himself to have sex with another man. No amount of money would get me to have sex with a woman, you can be very sure of that.
Surely they’re bisexual to some extent?
Who me? says
UGH….That just feeds the homophobics worst fears that all gay men want is str8 men. Now those who watch this will think it’s true for all of us. It’s way past time for someone to spotlight those of us who do want our gay men gay and not gay for pay.
Who me? says
Also, I refuse to join a pay site until I find that that ONLY uses gay men. My dollar is not going to support a fantasy that isn’t mine.
Dean says
@Who me? As great as something like that would be, it doesn’t and probably will never exist. The majority of men in gay porn are bisexual, even those that claim they are gay. A porn site that only features gay models would likely be just a handful of guys, which I’m sure people will tire of quickly. I’m not saying this to support the use of gay for pay or bisexual guys (because I am definitely sick of them, but can accept the fact), I’m just acknowledging the reality of the situation.
Billy Blue says
They are not straight, they are bisexuals, I konow a lot of guys that are married or have girlfriends that also like to have sex with guys, they are called bisexuals.
litper says
If people like that kind of fantasy. let them go to Russia!
cutlass says
If you’re a chef and you ONLY eat meat in the restaurant you work, can you still call yourself a vegan?
TwoCities says
I also don’t up the gay 4 pay line. These men are agreeing to be on film and kiss, rim, and fuck the hell out of another male. There is no way in hell, that these men do this without enjoying it. There are plenty of other things to do for money.
I would NEVER have sex with a woman because I don’t find them sexually attractive. Period. You couldn’t pay me enough money to do it. Ever.
Simon Dexter is another one of those guys who claims to be straight yet he’s been fucked, kissed and eaten out so much ass in his past, there’s no fucking way he didn’t enjoy it….AND he was an escort for a while. It’s bullshit.
Anderson says
Love it, @cutlass!!! LOL
W says
I don’t really care about how guys identify themselves sexually off camera. They are all performers doing a job, when it comes down to it. As long as they give a good performance and get me off, I really don’t care.
W says
Plus, I am sure that the talent pool would be a lot smaller if they chose to only go with gay guys as performers.
danny says
I’ve been with CM for a few years now, and like some of the other comments, these guys are not straight, not with all the things they do on this site. And Glenn is one of my new favorites. He has a great body and is a “genuine” performer, meaning that he acts very comfortable in front of the camera and seems to enjoy sex with a man. But now that he admits that he doesn’t have fun and it’s never been hot, I wonder how many more of the guys on the site feel the same way. I think it’s time to end my CM membership and find another site. I’m looking for an amateur site, bareback preferred, that doesn’t cost too much? Any suggestions. (Corbin Fisher is too much money, and Broke Straight Boys has guys that are hit or miss!)
GreGG says
“Straight my ass” .. Yes @ samwise. You have it correct. In just 3 words.
Willie says
Danny have a browse to [fleshseeker dot com] or [spunked dot eu] to see what is on offer and which site caters to your preferences.
These guys are bisexual rather than straight and marketed as straight to create a fantasy. They aren’t as uninhibited or experimental as gay guys on film. Docos on porn are always interesting.
Queer Me Now could we have a post from an expert about unsafe sex. There seems to be a lot of falsehoods in recent comments.
Dale says
Gay for pay I don`t care! As long as they deliver the goods! That`s what matters! I don`t have a problem with these kind of performers. It`s not supposed to be an issue!
barrister says
I really don’t care if a porn actor is gay, bi or straight, as long as he gives a great performance and the sex is hot! Porn is just a fantasy and in order to have a healthy relationship with porn, gay or straight, we can’t lose sight of the fact that it’s a fantasy.
Having said that, I do have my own opinion about the sexuality of “gay-for-pay” porn actors.
Like many posters, I too don’t believe that many of the actors are straight; probably closer to bi.
Think about it for a minute. What straight guy would REPEATEDLY kiss another guy, eat his ass, such his cock, and allow that man to fuck him in the ass . . . FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE?
I know that sex and sexuality are oftentimes complex and at times defy labels, but the notion that a truly straight guy would leave a PERMANENT record of his homosexual acts is ridiculous!
It simply defies logic!
Think about it. How does a straight guy explain to his wife or girlfriend that he gets fucked in the ass, eats another man’s ass and kisses another man, but that he’s straight?
The only woman who’d probably believe that is Huma Abedin (Anthony Weiner’s wife).
No fucking way that a woman is gonna’ believe that her man is straight after watching him repeatedly get fucked by other men? Now she might believe it if her man is making $1 million a year getting fucked. Anyone can understand doing something that may not represent who you really are if a lot of money is at stake.
But for the money that gay porn actors make, no way! And yes I get it that a lot of the guys are very young, but a lot of them aren’t. If you check the ages of the actors on the “gay-for’pay” sites like Sean Cody, Corbin Fisher, Chaos Men, et. al., many of them are in their mid to late 20s.
Most people who graduate from college, graduate or professional school, can make salaries of $80,000.00 to $100,000.00 within 6 to 7 years of graduation.
I know because at 28, I was already making $100,000.00 after three years as a lawyer. And many of my friends were making the same if not higher salaries.
My point in writing all of this, is that guys can make a lot more money by going to college rather than getting fucked. I believe a lot of them are having sex with other men, but can’t deal with the fact that they enjoy it. So they cling to the “straight” label.
Another point is how does a straight guy explain to his friends that although he’s been fucked 20 times or more on video, eaten another man’s ass and kissed him, that he’s straight?
I’ve got some pretty liberal straight male friends, but none of them would believe that bull shit for a second.
Yes, I also believe that there are a lot of genuinely straight men who will have sex with other men as long as no one knows.
Also there are some straight men who will have sex with another man and not be bothered by others knowing, provided that he’s well paid for his services.
However while the gay porn industry pays decently for top stars, no gay porn actor is going to get rich and be able to retire from a career of fucking in videos.
Not gonna’ happen. If that were otherwise true, you’d have a lot more men, straight, bi and gay, doing gay porn.
The end! LoL!
SuckItBaby says
Who are they trying to convince that they are straight??? In the eyes of the world, thanks to their movies, they will forever be known as gay, taking it up the ass and doing all the things regular straight men would not do. So where do they go from here? Oprah?
Anderson says
yeah @SuckItBaby! Maybe silly women hang out, even marry, them. But to all society they’ll be gays, guys who fucked others guys in front of cameras. Chriss Strokes has many str8 movies in his curriculum now, but he is always pointed with a gay past!
Zack says
Aries is no longer with chaosmen but judging by what he’s done since then,he is def bi if not gay.
As for the rest..they can say whatever they want but I doubt Theon’s gf is going to think he’s straight when she finds out he has been doing oral and anal sex with other men.
Dean says
@Zack what has Aries done since leaving Chaosmen?
Dave says
I REALLY DON’T CARE WHAT ANY OF YOU OTHER GUYS SAY BUT>JUST SEEING HOT LOOKING STUDS GETTING THEIR HUGH COCKS SUCKED OFF>THEN GETTING THEIR HORNY ANAL HOLES BREEDED GETS ME FUCKEN HORNY ALL THE TIME>SO WHAT IF THEIR STRAIGHT AS LONG AS THEY SUCK COCK@GET FUCKED MORE POWER TO THEM>Dave
sxg says
I have to say my personal opinion on the sexuality of performers these days has become less important than the performances they actually deliver on-screen.
When first discovering porn, I was infatuated by how hot the guys work, I didn’t even fathom the idea that some of these guys weren’t actually gay.
And back then I also never really paid attention to the performances the tops and bottoms were delivering, and I’ve gotta say looking back now I realize that some of the more well-known ones like Ken Ryker were absolutely atrocious. They barely maintained erections and their fucking was just terrible.
I mean now yes looks still matter in porn, but that alone for me doesn’t determine whether you are a good porn star or not. While I do have a preference for gay porn stars because they have more believable performances because they genuinely connect with guys, I cannot deny how good many of these G4P/str8/bi performers are. And sometimes they deliver an even better performance than some totally gay guys, Adrien being one of the more amazing G4P performers.
In saying that, I also don’t believe the majority of these guys are genuinely G4P/str8. I’m sure there are a handful that are, but I think the majority of them (especially the ones that bottom) are just in denial of their bisexuality. What’s sad is some truly never can accept their bisexuality so they act out and get themselves into legal trouble, or even worse, killed.
sxg says
Sorry I meant to say Aiden (from Corbin Fisher) and not Adrien.
Pascal says
I can’t really believe that the guys from Sean Cody are only heterosexual seen how they fuck with unusual fervor in porn !!!
@ Barrister : Very good analysis of the situation. Bravo !
nikko says
It’s insulting to all of us who are bisexual or gay as to how our sexuality is pushed aside by “straight” guys. How far have we come in society if it’s still wrong to be known as gay or bisexual??! You mean to tell me that most of these performers can’t even admit to being bisexual and perform in gay porn for the whole world to see??!! What?! It’s homophobic and hurtful in our own ranks!
litper says
Glad to see people realise how homophobic the whole “gay for pay” idea is.
Louis says
Sorry, I truly believe that some of these guys are totally straight and only do it by exhibitionism and for the money
moe says
@Louis There are a lot of things they can do if they need money but they chose to have sex with guys for it. I’m sorry i just don’t believe these guys are 100% straight.
Dean says
@moe Just like all women in straight porn who do lesbian sex are not straight either? You guys are kidding yourselves into believing these guys aren’t straight, and for what?? So you can have the fantasy that seemingly “straight” men are all sexually attainable like in your fantasies?
Zack says
Dean,
Aries did a few shows on flirt4free with another man and having seen his new tattoo,I can see why Bryan wasn’t happy with it.
According to a post of his (won’t link it here since it gives away his modeling name),he is going to be doing new stuff in the future with other gay porn sites.
He might like women but he certainly likes men as well.
Orlandol says
I do think some of these guys are straight you can haves sex with someone who you are not that into think long ago when almost all gay men had to marry women and have children.If you can set aside the fact that that they are a man or women and just seek pleasure you can do it.Also i don’t believe that bisexuality is a true sexual orientation. I separate sexuality and sexual orientation. I see sexuality as what you do and sexual orientation as what you are.If you are a gay man and your first sexual experiences are with women your are more likely to call your self bisexual than gay.and vice verse I think that some men who are gay feel the need to be involved with women and the straight life because some people feel that they are less of a man if they are only with guys. Just think in the real world gay men are more likely to have sex with a women that a straight man with another man.because most straight men don’t feel the need to prove themselves as men and we as gay men need to get over that
TDTM says
Straight women have been licking pussy in straight films since the beginning and gay men have been having sex with their wives or girlfriends/beards since time began. So why is it so hard to believe that straight guys can get it up to have sex with a guy for a nice chunk of money?
I guess biologically its harder for a straight guy to fake enthusiasm but I don’t think it’s impossible.
But like others have said, if they are respectful and give a good performance, I don’t care what they do in their off time.
Orlandol says
Seem like if your in gay porn you have to call yourself bi straight or sexual you cant be gay ang you have to have sex withe a women some time in your career.And people don’t care gay people have be uses and exploited for a long time and we do nothing about it .I guess some gay guys just idealize straight guys for some strange reason
leeve says
why would a straight guy expose himself in gay porn,when he can escort for both women and men and protect his privacy and make a fair amount of money??@TDTM :Women are not considered lesbians not even bi outside porn,just porn actresses and they face less judgment.Straight guys doing the same,will be always perceived as “gay” by society,they face a lot more repercussions. Maybe that’s why they need to prove they’re straight,don’t really like it and only do it for money….damage control?
steveO says
i’m a straight male who just recently became very bi-sexual,so much in fact that I dream of having sex with another man/men for my first time making a movie so that I would get paid to take care of my family.i’d even perform a gang rape scene if the money is good enough&everyone is aids/hiv negative.
John says
Wren looks hot. How come he’s still not up on the chaosmen site?
Drew says
These guys are 100% straight for sure. What I don’t buy for a new york minute however, is that they are doing all this freaky shit with dudes and claim they are not loving any of it. That is total bullshit. I am 100% straight as well, love to do everything with girls, and I also love to do everything with guys too. But what makes me straight is that even when I do even the kinkiest, most heavy duty sexual stuff with dudes, I still feel totally straight. Being gay or bi is not just having sex with another man(even enjoying it), but feeling gay as well.
Billy says
I basically don’t care if a straight guy is in a gay porn, with some exceptions. IF he is portraying a str8 man (with a bi side) who strays to TOP a gay man that is fine. IF he has a good attitude about it & enjoys all sex that is fine. BUT THESE GUYS like GLENN who say they don’t like it, they hate it, it is work & they never get excited, it is just a way to make money off the gay guys who will watch it, I WISH the industry would NEVER USE THEM AGAIN! It makes me SICK because I’m sure these comments are restrained & very PC, but I do not wish to spend one cent on any guy with this attitude. Stay in str8 porn. It also completely DESTROYS ANY FANTASY I may imagine to KNOW THESE MEN have their wives or girl friends sit in ON THE SHOOT for cock stimulation or to feel less guilty. What kind of slut would want to watch her man do this? It doesn’t bother me if he LETS HER KNOE he does this type of work, but why would she want to watch him? I think it should be prohibited. A shoot should be restricted to CAST & CREW. Would they allow one of us to sit there and watch? I think NOT! I also think it should be a requirement by mutual agreement of the studios to tell us who is gay-for-pay and who isn’t. PERHAPS in maiinstream videos it is nobody’s business, BUT THIS IS PORNOGRAPHY and has a whole other set of rules. I DO NOT WANT TO PATRONIZE ANY VIDEO with a str8 man in it WHO BEHIND MY BACK IS THINKING, “sure, I’ll take all the money those queers throw my way to support my habits, pay my bills & buy my fancy clothes & cars. They’re a bunch of gullible idiots who just like my gorgeous body & big cock like all faggots!”
Bruce says
DREW! Really? “I am 100% straight as well, love to do everything with girls, and I also love to do everything with guys too. But what makes me straight is that even when I do even the kinkiest, most heavy duty sexual stuff with dudes, I still feel totally straight. Being gay or bi is not just having sex with another man(even enjoying it), but feeling gay as well.” NOT KNOWING “what it feels like to be gay, you can’t possibly know you feel “100% straight” YOU ARE 100% BISEXUAL and it is fine! I am curious to know “what straight feels like because I have great sex with guys only, but I could still be straight, right?
