There’s a caveat, however. It seems —
believe it or not — that straight porn is farther
ahead in reality porn than its gay counterpart.
“Fewer gay content studios embraced the
reality pom genre in the early days,” explains
Paul L.,“so it’s more novel to gay fans than to
straight. I like to think that as young as
MaleSpectrumPass may be, we’re at the forefront
V I N G
of gay reality pom. We plan to stay there and
continue to grow and evolve the genre further^

numbers 28 and

To put these statistics into perspective,

“That’s the beauty of reality porn: There
are no real stars,” he says. “The stars are the
guys next door who are filming their own
hookups and buddies.”
Former “guy next door” and reality pom star
Johnny Maverick, 31 — whose aedits include
MaleSpectrumPass’s “His First Huge Cock”—
agrees: “I think if represents the future.”
And perhaps he’s right. Like the sitcoms of
yore that continue to die a slow death, only to
be replaced by reality television, so too are
over-the-top porn productions now relegated
to an X-rated graveyard.
“I think the genre has only just begun,” pre
dicts Blumenthd.‘T think we are going to see
more exhibitionist sites, more sites with live
video like Manhunt’s Mancam, and more
everyday guys jumping in front of the camera.”

There are several websites offering
“reality” porn. Some are like
OnTheHunt.com, but the overwhelming
majority are like adult versions of
YouTube.com. Beware of pay sites that
claim they’re “amateur” or “reality” —
most just use actors.
