Promoting adult websites: gay niches

Do you want to start promoting gay adult websites? The gay porn is not a single niche but rather a field with hundreds of sub-niches and themes. In the last few years this market has become extremely competitive. If you want to become an affiliate, read on to learn more about online gay pornography.

Gay porn

Gay pornography is the representation of sexual acts between men with the primary goal of sexual arousal in its audience. It is mainly concentrated in the making of DVDs, VOD, home videos, cable broadcast, as well as images and videos for websites.

Nowadays gay pornography comprises a large part of the adult entertainment industry. The primary audience of gay websites consists of gay and bisexual men. However, gay pornography is also popular among women.

A lot of straight men love lesbian porn, and vise versa: girls like looking at naked men having sex with each other. Some lesbian and bisexual women are also fans of gay porn, specifically yaoi, for its feminine-styled men.

Gay adult niches

Gay industry diversified steadily in the late 90’s. As the demand for gay porn grew, the content began to be produced for viewers with specific tastes. Nowadays the list of different gay sub-niches is endless. You can find websites dedicated to:
• Twinks - young or young looking gay men
• Bears - hairy gay men (sometimes a bit overweight)
• Mature - older gay men
• Daddies - older gay men who often seek younger men.
• Jocks – bodybuilders, men with muscles
• Crossdressers - man wearing women’s clothes
On ethnic gay adult sites the models could be Black, Latino, Asian, Russian, Dutch, etc. Those ethnic sites also have variations. For example, you can find websites focusing on Ebony group sex or Asian solo boys.

Many gay sites cater to BDSM - bondage, shibari (the Japanese art of bondage and knot-tying), masked perverts, latex and rubber suits, chains, etc. Another popular niche is men in uniform - from military men to doctors.

Some controversy studios produce bareback (sex without condoms) videos. However, mainstream companies state that this concept promotes unsafe sex and contributes to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Gay-for-pay

Gay-for-pay is a term used to describe male actors that identify themselves as heterosexual but who perform explicit sexual acts with other males to make money. These actors often play the "top" roles but this is not always the case.

Straight men (or those newly coming out) are virgins to sex with other men, and the young, the muscular, and the unfamiliar actors are very popular. As a response to criticism, some of gay-for-pay actors sometimes tell that they are bisexual and that they want to experiment with their sexuality.

Why do straight men have sex with other men? The reason is simple: in gay pornography male porn actors can earn more money. There are also more opportunities to become a "star" because in straight porn most viewers look at the girl and don’t care about the guy.
