Straight Guys, a documentary film by Daniel Laurin, played last year at the DOC NOW Festival in Toronto.</h1>

<p dir="auto">Queerty, as maybe everyone and their brother is aware, is a gay news site that tends to obsess over celeb nudity<br />
and the like. The link cited is correct except for the XX part, even though there is a misspelled word involved. I just<br />
cut and pasted, noticed the error, so entered the URL again and yes, it is valid. Personally, I like Boyd McDonald's<br />
preference for "strait" as the preferred spelling, but that is a matter of politics. Where someone is het but not narrow,<br />
I use str8, but each to his own.</p>
<p dir="auto">This movie contains interviews, etc. and those interested in what male porn performers are like when they are at home,<br />
which I always think is interesting, even if it does open up the tedious discussion in which some say the performers all<br />
are actually gay and in an Egyptian river (does that joke work outside of English speech? The (sa) Nile = denial), and<br />
others say no, they're just bi– so then everyone can debate whether being bi- or polysexual (if yr horny, fuck it; any<br />
port in a storm, a hard prick has no conscience, etc. etc.) is a real thing.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think the reality is far more complicated and diverse and nuanced than that, frankly. The case has been made that<br />
heterosexuality was invented  a little over a century ago when the homosickness was segregated out from other<br />
sexual behaviors and labeled a pathology-- until Evelyn Hooker came along (look her up amongst the torrents or Wikipedia)<br />
and changed the world.</p>
<p dir="auto">I mean, people do what they do and it is not a rule book that makes a man pitch a tent only in "approved" circumstances.<br />
Amirite? For rent boys and porn performers who make a living professionally by having sex. In theory, that means they are<br />
good at it. Not having seen the movie, and not finding it on this site so far, I cannot say what the interviewed people have<br />
to say, but there are some other documentaries here that do interview some name performers.</p>
<p dir="auto">Colby Jansen, professional rugby player and former US Marine (with a college degree in... chemistry is it?) has now topped (and<br />
occasionally bottomed) often enough that he no longer has a label for himself. He met his wife when she was a male-to-female<br />
pre-op transexual. Johnny Rapid lives with his gf and has a couple of kids, mostly bottoms but is a ferocious top when given a<br />
chance. Me, I like watching hot young studs from the gay porn pay sites who occasionally also get to show they know how to<br />
service a woman. And am I the only one who gets tired of some of these dudes who only top? Oh, yeah, they are just so strait<br />
and uptite that is all they can do because real men don't "take it like a man."</p>
<p dir="auto">Right. Real men take it dish it out any way they want. Want to make something of it? Step outside and we can use our fists for<br />
a measuring contest.</p>
<p dir="auto">Right. My political rant. Just makes me unhappy to see so many st8s getting deepthroated by a man and, after years of dealing<br />
with women who cannot or will not take them completely, are having the best blowjob of their lives until they are, from head to<br />
toe and base to crown, limp as a dishrag. They could have so much more fulfillment if they did not let their judgmental childhood<br />
prejudices ban them from available pleasuring.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, just came across this documentary title and hope to be able to watch it sometime soon. Maybe it is just lascivious perving<br />
on my part, but I think it is interesting and useful to find out what pros-- whatever label they prefer-- have to say about their<br />
sexual behavior.</p>
<p dir="auto">Then again, I like the interviews with surfers, skaters, active military, and other guys talking about their favorite positions and<br />
fantasies with women, and to hear them talk candidly about their first experiences, and that sort of thing. With the Internet<br />
these days, it is easier to find out about the sex histories and preferred behaviors of random, ordinary guys, but for those of us<br />
who grew up in ignorance and terror (back before today's "love that won't shut up," in the repressed times when the love "that<br />
dare not speak its name" was barely even whispered), the massive amount of info all around us in this post-Kinsey era can still<br />
be pretty interesting.</p>
<p dir="auto">Just as most guys think their dick is too small and have some exaggerated idea of "average" length and girth, they may have some<br />
odd notion of how many partners are normal, what is the age of virginity loss, and how often one fucks or jacks off per day or per<br />
week. Esp. given that men lie (to each other and to women), these topics are also a matter of tribal rituals, boasting, etc. But get<br />
enough stories and patterns do emerge.</p>
<p dir="auto">Or, maybe I just still do not know anything. I asked someone in the Forum whether people think that gay sex is not "real sex" if<br />
it is limited to oral action, or whether only anal counted as "actual sex." Does that mean all those youthful years, everyone who<br />
had a gay friend, closeted or otherwise, assumed they were fucking or getting fucked? Do "mundanes" outside the gay realm<br />
think only the top is manly and that a bottom is effeminate, a fairy, a pansy, not a "real man"?</p>
<p dir="auto">Oh, questions, questions. All the more relevant when so many kidz today live and die by their cell phones and their hookup aps,<br />
and their naked selfies. Even among the narrowest of straits, it seems like there is much less nervousness, ignorance, and<br />
general hysteria over "doing it," so that in today's v different world than the one we boomers were born into (making us what Uncle<br />
Tim Leary called mutants, the first post-atomic generation), change is more rapid than ever.</p>
<p dir="auto">In fact, perhaps we collectively are not changing from one thing to another, but now in a constant state of flux and full-time<br />
change, once presciently called "the electronic social transformation," back before the world divided up between "children of the<br />
future" (thank you Steve Miller) and stubborn troglodyte oldies who have not realized what Bob Dylan taught us long, long<br />
ago-- he not busy being born is busy dying.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hard to believe but in my lifetime, that a pioneer gay activist could get dismissed by fellow members of the Mattachine Society<br />
(oh, look it up!) for anticipating gay pride parades a few decades early. Not gonna happen, they said. "We're sick. This is<br />
a sickness and will never be acceptable."</p>
<p dir="auto">And among hets desperately thwarted trying to reach "second base" with a girl ("Not without a wedding ring you don't!" Annette<br />
famously told her surfer beach party movie boyfriend), whatever they were up to was a mystery to me then, so I have no idea<br />
how that all has changed for them.</p>
<p dir="auto">And when you are old and feeble and over 40, an antique as invisible in bars as any ghost, watching gay marriage turn into<br />
the normal position, it is even more difficult to keep track of these things.</p>
<p dir="auto">Which is, he said, winding down at last, why I'd be interested in seeing the title documentary to add some data to help sort<br />
out the mysteries of a man with a maid, or another man, or some of each. Surely it would be a useful addition to the porn<br />
star documentaries already available here. I'd like to think these films and discussions can lead to more and more people being<br />
more and more willing to unload far more freely, and combine forces with other willing partners instead of having to make<br />
do with their fist.</p>
