No one has yet satisfactorily explained to FuelMix the logic backing the bizarre practice of screening str8 porn in a gay sauna.
FuelMix has seen this phenomenon popping up here in Very Rich Megacity and had noticed it before in other cities. Truth be told, it’s frankly unnerving. What FuelMix assumed to be a comic novelty in a stream of gay porn, has turned into a marquee item with its own billing. In other words, they just won’t turn the damn thing off.
As urbane as FuelMix likes to think he is, there is a surprising feeling of fundamental personal violation upon padding into the video room in the sauna to be greeted by a soprano-pitched whore with neon coloured acrylic nails, costume jewellery and false eyelashes screaming, “Uhh yeah!!......fuck my pussy!”………and then the camera pans to a rear view of some muscular hunk wearing a mask, or worse, some grunting middle aged paunchy john.
FuelMix assumed that the video room in a gay sauna was the place to keep your genital engines running, a place where a different kind of cruising technique, body language and looks could snag Monsieur Right-Now, either right there or by captivating him into following you out of there and down the corridor.
And with cruising being so hard on the feet, the fag has to sit somewhere other than the TV lounge (which, here in Very Rich Megacity, is perilously close to that other cottage industry – the Karaoke Room).
So what is FuelMix to make out of this propensity to peddle labia as an integral part of gay in-house entertainment? Back in those days when he was still middle class, FuelMix recalls traveling Economy and when the dinner trolley finally arrived at Row 53, the chirpy flight attendant announced that they were all out of meat, but there was still fish. The thing was plonked in front of him and it was neither appetizing nor satisfying.
Ditto with clit porn.
It’s been said that the gay sauna is the great social leveller. Agreed. Cocks from all walks of life end up there. And some may be, or believe themselves to be, str8 to within an acceptable margin of error. But by consciously showing up at a man2man arena and slipping off the wedding ring, it can be safely assumed that pussy is not currently on the “To Do” list.
So why is it being broadcast? To remind them of what they’re missing? To stoke the fires of guilt? To aid in their self-justification that watching clit porn in a gay sauna is OK and that they’re not really gay, but just playing with other guys whom might, or might not, be gay?
Is the emergence of clit porn in gay saunas a form of social engineering? Is there an attempt to manipulate gays and heteros into pan-sexuals thereby rendering obsolete such quaint labels as “gay” “str8” and “bisexual”?
FuelMix is truly annoyed and baffled.

you think str8 porn in a gay sauna is bad....what about Jap porn screened there? you know, the ones without a dialogue or a music track and the good bits pixelled out...eewww
ReplyDeleteThere are some gay dudes who get turned on by str8 porn - it's just a fantasy to them. No big deal mebbe the sauna management is trying to cater to all tastes.
ReplyDeletethe self justification point is probably accurate. A lot of straights in a gay sauna are in denial or miserable - or both
ReplyDeleteThink "Cross Tide"
ReplyDeleteMany are the happy effects that continue to ripple out from the Stonewall Riot. While there has always been an underground of Primarily Straight Men who’ve been happy to let a bottomfag glory orally between their legs, evidence suggests that that quotient of PSMs, particularly amongst the younger generation, is growing exponentially of late. Has the time come to speak of sine curves?
The once life-shattering stigmas associated with being found to be queer have declined precipitously over the lifetime’s of many still-breathing. Thank you, Harvey. So too has to social stigma of a PSM getting caught with his dick in a fag’s mouth. What once shattered careers now may lead to some rough house razzing from his football buddies, two or more of whom probably have out-of-closet gay brothers or beloved lesbian aunts.
So, the Iron Curtain that so forcefully and publicly separated gay and straight male sexuality shows signs of crumbling. It may be interesting to note here that no such wall of separation was built between lesbians and straight women.
As increasing numbers of PSMs join the hunt for quality blow jobs, one may expect bathhouse owners to start hanging out some bait for them, ie straight porn. Similarly we may be seeing some of the less important football games turning up on gay bar screens, alas. (I truly hoped that I would never to live to see THAT day!)
If the sexual wall between straight men and gay men truly comes down, as the younger generation rises, and the market is flooded with PSMs, the consequences for the gay community are staggering. Non-reciprocating Tops who primarily want to kick back and get sucked and rimmed and waited on like royalty are what, my lowball guess, 40% of ghetto gays are looking for in the first place. And 80% of the fags! It’s almost as if PSMs were designed by nature for fags to suck on.
And seriously, once the stigma is removed, who ISN’T going to want their ass licked?
Imagine what fag bottoms could do with a surfeit of blowjob seekers! Imagine the enormous amounts of creative energy released when bottoms don’t have to throw their blood, sweat, heart, soul and tears just into trying to find a good serviceable Top to suck on a regular basis. Why, a veritable Renaissance could blossom out of this, exploding right out of the old seed gay ghettoes – ghettoes that sprang up so vitally and exuberantly in the 1970’s, playing Florences and Venezias in a new global flourishing of the arts.
or whatever
Thank for writing your brilliantly iconoclastic blog which I am so happy to have found.
Response to petevdb: your points are well taken particularly the PSMs searching for quality blowjobs and the use of str8 porn as bait to facilitate PSMs receiving a royal servicing from fags desperately ISO non-recip Tops. Hadn't thought of that one.
ReplyDeleteSports events on gay bar screens are already here in VRM - more so in 2008 coz VRM co-hosted the Olympic Equestrian Events. Much squealing and ogling when Mens Swimming and Diving events were broadcast.
