Tyra Banks Does Gay for Pay

Attention porn fans, set your VCR, er, I mean DVR for Thursday's episode of the Tyra Banks show. The topic of the show is gay for pay performers. Models Aaron James (pictured) and Kurt Wild are among those appearing. The gay for pay debate amongst porn fans has been running rampant lately after Pat Bateman was seen plowing a fellow on video with the help of a girlie magazine propped on the back of the bottom. There is a rumor amongst some in porn land that one of Tyra's guests will make an announcement of some sort. Tune in.

Personally, I didn't have a problem with the photos I saw of Pat Bateman and his infamous magazine. The point of porn is to provide a product to help consumers get off. If Pat's scene does the trick, so be it. What I am highly weary of, as a consumer, is how studios over emphasize the fact that a given model is gay for pay. Why does a model have to have a label? If part of the function of porn is to provide fantasy, why not feature models as just plain men? This is why I think Randy Blue does such a good job. There is no having to guess what a model's orientation is. Some studios do interviews and will ask if a model is gay or straight.

Who cares?
