“It was just, come back here, here’s the studio, get naked. I’d never been naked in front of anybody other than me and a girlfriend. when you have three or four people with cameras, it’s pretty nerve-racking. Pretty much just like jerking off at home is what it turned out to be.”Ĭurtis was emphatic that he would not do a sex scene.

“I thought about it a bit, experimented at home and was like, well that ain’t too bad, I can do that and come back with a pocketful of money, that’d be great.īut soon enough, the chance to make even more money became too enticing. “They let me top the first sex scene I did just to ease me into it. They’re not doing that much any more.”Ĭurtis’ experience may sound extreme, but it’s a common phenomenon. At least half of all male gay porn stars identify as straight, according to Charlie David, a director from Montreal, Canada, who’s made a documentary on the subject. I’m a Porn Star: Gay4Pay, which is released internationally on Tuesday, explores why straight men would have sex with other men, and why there’s such a huge market for it. Popular gay porn websites including (where Curtis works), Men.com, and all offer movies proudly featuring straight actors.

“You’re seeing hypermasculine situations or sometimes professions, a construction worker and so on,” David told. “It’s not only subconscious cues, it’s promoted as this by the studios: ‘Look at these straight guy f**k!’”ĭavid became aware of the trend for heterosexuals to “go gay” for parts after he appeared in LGBT-orientated supernatural soap Dante’s Cove in 2004 and discovered he was the only “out” gay actor on set. He realised this was increasingly reflected in both mainstream movies ( Brokeback Mountain, Dallas Buyers Club) and porn. “A lot of the main studios’ producers are straight men or women,” he said. “It’s interesting because there’s such a stigma against LGBT people in many places.
