Do Men Belong in Dyke Porn?
In the forum, a discussion has started asking the same question, “Do Men Belong in Dyke Porn? ” It’s not an easy question to answer. My first instinct is to think, no, men do not belong in dyke porn. If there’s anywhere in the world that men don’t belong, surely, it is dyke porn.
I am fairly conscious of male privilage and I tend to notice the public display of differences between men and women. Even the little things stand out: in a room full of women, when a man is speaking the room tends to fall silent to listen, in print ads the older, wiser, gentleman is seen standing tall over the women, presumably teaching her something, and even space is taken up differently by a man.
I think I’m conscious of these things because I resemble a man to some people, but upon closer interaction I’m clearly a woman. This has put me in a grey zone and I notice things that other people might not notice.
The trans-movement has changed the way lesbians look at men. Your best friend is now a man, or your girlfriend is now a man. Most people are politically correct enough to accept that – now a days. And if you accept that your friend is now a fully a man, then your thoughts about men and male privilage will change too. Male privilage doesn’t go away you are just a lot more conscious that your five-foot-nothing furry faced friends need your support in finding their place in the world. And if that means loving men more, so be it. More love: the collatoral damage of changing identities.
In my reply to whether I think men belong in dyke porn or not I said that I was comfortable with men being in a few rare scenes as long as its primary objective was to serve the dyke fantasy (something like that). We’re always hearing about how dykes love to watch gay-boy porn so they can’t be too offended by the penis.
I am making plans to hook up with a transguy and his bio-guy boyfriend to talk about shooting a scene. It seems to me to be an appropriate scene to shoot for dyke porn. Transguys form a large part of the dyke/queer community so that’s a natural fit for me and dykes like to watch gay porn so there you go… gay/trans/dyke porn.
In my opinion, the queer community is such a diverse place that our porn should reflect that diversity. Transguys and their boyfriends are a part of my world. I think there’s definitely room for that specific genre to be expanded and websites created just for this degree of gender or that degree of sexual orientation, but this is dyke porn, so come watch us dykes queer it up the best way we know how – with the people of our community.
Bottom-line, any queer individual who feels comfortable participating in the dyke porn movement is welcome to join us.
