I mean… It's their loss.

Also I love when idiots say that so I know what kind of person they are from the start. Trash.

I actually just posed the question in another thread, but WHY is there such a shortage of Asian men in gay porn?

Agreed, there's an under-representation of Asian men in Western gay porn sites.

Asian gay content seems to be marketed more frequently in "themed" sites, and therein a whole conversation on whether this constitutes preference or quasi-fetish. Some Asian sites, which blend porn content with Grindr-style personals, are presented in their native language only – Thai and Chinese (for the Taiwan market) come to mind.

I'm all for more, in any event! >:D >:D

Agree, i think if asian men were represented as attractive men as well then that would go a looong way to changing public perception.

Asian men are no more or less attractive than any other group.

Over the years, gay porn has had a few good looking asian men.

i agree. alot of the western market for asian porn usually involves TWINK thrown in, and i think it is more fetishized, similar to asian women and the men who pursue them. The thing is i like me my asian men muscly which forces me to go with either thai or japanese porn (mostly japanese) to get my fix…..and i cant appreciate the story and dialogue as it were( yes i do like those since i'm an audiophile) to add to the fantasy as much.

racism is everywhere. in asian saunas in bangkok, taipei a lot of Asians prefer Asians as well.

I was recently called a racist on Facebook because I didn't like a picture that was posted.

It had nothing to do with the race of the person because the entire page was about far east asian men.

The picture I commented on was of an overweight guy with a stupid style of swimsuit that looked even worse on a fat guy as his blubber stuck through the various holes.

It wasn't about race (unless fat guys in stupid swimsuits is a race), but I still got called a racist.

I feel like a lot of everyone are reading more than what the article is stating, and that's….

....a bit sad.

For me, the matter is very simple:

What is your preference?
Where does your preference come from?
~~Why is Gamora~~Why do you think X type of individuals checks that box while others don't?
Where does this standard come from?

That's it.

You're not at fault if you liked macho guys, or guys with broad noses, or long-haired guys.
But if you think every macho guys must be Japanese, or all Afro-Caribbean guys will never have broad noses, or long-haired guys are never Swedish, then it MIGHT help to stop and think, "why?"

People are varied, physically and psychologically.

Idk. I think the only thing we care about is if we find the race attractive. Asians have their qualities that attract men a lot but others not at all. I don't find them attractive, but a close friend will only date Asians. So hey. We are both of the same non Asian race.
