There have been quite a few HIV cases so far in the US straight pornography industry – possibly 32 cases so far. However, possibly 2 of those were males getting it from women. And even in those two cases, the females appeared to acquire the disease from bisexual male stars. So nearly all HIV cases in straight porn have had their origin somehow in gay male sex.
Quite a few male straight porn actors have gotten HIV of course (Where do you think the porno actresses are getting their infections?). But in the vast majority of these cases, the men got these cases via gay sex. The number of male straight porn stars who act in gay porn is very large for whatever reason. Most of these men are not even gay at all – in most cases, they are predominately heterosexual.
Why are they in gay porn? For the money. Gay porn pays men a lot better than straight porn does, where male stars are pretty much dime a dozen. These men are referred to as “crossover” stars since they work in both gay and straight porn. Crossover stars have become very controversial lately, as they are obviously fueling most of the HIV in the industry. In addition, many crossover stars lie and deny that they act in gay porn when they really do. In addition, these men often use one name in gay porn and another name in straight porn to fool people. So they get straight porn roles without the moviemakers knowing that they are crossover stars.
Some female porn stars work with crossover stars, but a number of them are getting quite wary. Because there is so much lying going on via these crossover stars, some actresses are spending a lot of time watching gay male porn so they get to know the actors in the movies. Most of them have tattoos these days, and one actress said she could recognize them by their tattoos.
In addition, it is very common for men in straight porn to moonlight as rent boys, escorts or male prostitutes. Quite a few of the male straight porn infections were acquired this way. Once again, these guys are mostly “gay for pay.” The male gay prostitution market in LA is very large, and there is a lot of money to be made selling your ass to other men. In contrast, there is almost no money to be made as a gigolo selling yourself to women.
A very nasty and ugly site called Porn Wikileaks (NSFW or possibly NSFL) has been set up by the straight male stars and directors in the industry primarily to warn of crossover stars. Quite a few male straight porn directors and talent agency owners also appear to be gay or bisexual. Mark Spiegler, who runs the industry’s largest female talent agency, is either gay or bisexual. His face is presently disfigured because he molested a 10 year old boy. The boy’s father found out and beat Spiegler so badly that he now looks like some kind of a freak. Spiegler also served some prison time for that molestation.
The site also claims that the whole straight porno industry is run by what they call the Gay Mafia. Strange.
Porn Wikileaks is very much opposed to the gay and bisexual men in the industry and you could surely characterize the site as virulently homophobic. Their basic line seems to be, “Faggot crossover porn stars are destroying the straight porn industry!” It is an interesting site (I spent quite a bit of time there recently) but it is raw and rude as Hell.
