If you’re a gay man, you know exactly what’s going to happen in a gay porn scene: two hot, able-bodied dudes making out briefly, blowing each other, fucking, then money shot. Although there’s somewhat more diversity in porn these days in terms of race and body types, adult entertainment still has a ways to go with representing all bodies, especially disabled ones. Here are 4 reasons why we need queer, disabled male porn stars.
- Different types of scenes
With a disabled person, the typical queer sex scene is made completely fresh and novel. In addition to sexualizing a disabled person by watching them undress, the viewer also sees the reality of what it’s like to have to negotiate getting into bed, with lifts/slings/etc, adding a new level of honesty and intimacy to the scene. - Different positions
With gay, disabled porn, the positions and sex are wholly new and exciting. As Andrew Morrison-Gurza, the founder of Deliciously Disabled Consulting says in the Huffington Post, “It would mean that the camera would capture something completely new and different, allowing for the viewing audience to get something fresh in their fantasy.” - It would empower queer men with disabilities
By including queer male porn stars with disabilities, queer men in the real world are able to see that their bodies are beautiful and desirable, too. “Seeing ourselves on film in this regard would act as a powerful and potent reminder that we have sexual agency and sexual capital while seated,” says Morrison-Gurza. - It would send an important message to the larger queer community
Depicting gay, disabled sex sends a powerful message to the queer community that disability is sexy, and that it’s okay to sexualize disabled bodies. It also allows LGBTQ people to become more comfortable with the idea of disability and sex. Right on!
