Gay sex: Is there a specific term for→[More:] let's call it 'man stacks,' if you know what i mean. Also, does everyone just seem in happier gay porn?

What now?

Man stacks? No, I don't know what you mean, and I've watched a bit of gay porn in my life. Do tell.

Men stacked as very happily fitted pringles. Is it just another choo choo? i don't know how graphic i can be without someone taking it as a cue to go all porno linking. But mybe hat's not a bad thing.

i'm taking a cue from gaspode and looking into the wonderful world of gay porn. Excusing the extreme body builders and unfit rag dolls, i'm not sure what to look, but everyone seems to be having a better time in general.

So, sort of like attaching Lego bricks, but with cocks? Am I getting this right?

I was about to chime in - you know I love the gay porn, eth!

Everyone does seem to be happier, don't they?
posted by gaspode 03 March | 15:52
Let's say search parameters are for men who are really enjoying men without being exclusively oral or singly roled, but role playing and stereotyped role playing seems a bonus. There also seems to be more joy of acting.
Suggestions?

Yeah, gasp, i think the fact that things have no gender bias in demeaning anyone is a part of it, and from what i hear from gay men, gay men are the most likely group to be happy to just have sex at the drop of a hat or soap or lens cap (i will not say who said that, as i am the sole of discretion).

I am totally in favor of manstacks, especially when they're covered with maple syrup. And there are lots of nooks and crannies to hold the melted butter, too.

i was just watching something yesterday i don't know from where, but, man, gay or straight, those guys had charisma, and i mean all over, not just the bouncing stacks of erections, but the genuine smiles and unintended vocalizations--
oh, you know. i just wanna watch. i prefer actual sex with people who want to have sex with women, being one.

Hey, it's Monday, achey muscles and all.

I think you've summed up exactly why I like it, eth. Most hetero porn just seems so... joyless. I dunno.

And frankly, I don't need to look at naked women. I like men. Gay sex = twice the dick.

Whatcha got against flapjacks and johnnycakes, jrossi???? That's good eatin'!

Meanwhile "lesbian" porn is just not.
posted by pieisexactlythree 03 March | 16:15
Well watching straight porn, or the ubiquitous bogus lez stuff, I agree.

Not to derail but, at times during my infrequent viewings (only because, the way my life is structured, there is lack of opportunity) I wonder, at the very moment I am viewing, what the participants are doing. I can imagine with gay porn, the participants doing the very thing I am watching.

With the women, I can imagine them on the street hustling for their next fix.

(And I seem to enjoy most the stuff in which people are having a genuinely good and sexy time, regardless of combinations or plumbing.)

I don't believe in "gay porn". We need to protect the sacred institution of porn.

I think it really depends. I just found out (from watching True Life: I work in the sex industry) that some guys who do gay porn consider themselves to be straight, and aren't all that into the sex itself. Of course, some guys who do straight porn are probably gay, so it all balances out.

hellbient: civil union porn, at least?
posted by mullacc 03 March | 16:19
So point me at the good free gay sex.
Men who like men who love men doing things with their man parts.
Unnaturally hairless or pumped up (outside of costume fun and need) need not apply.
Also, it seems hot gay sex favors the PC user.
Who we all know skew to wide stanced Republicans.

The "good" porn generally falls into the category of people who are genuinely enjoying themselves (for whatever reason). Fun without the humiliation and extraneous "issues" for me.

i'm not talking about the whole porn industry or the whole complicated and detailed issue of porn in society.

I am ambivalent about the gay sex thing but I am in favor of anything delivered with maple syrup.
posted by jessamyn 03 March | 16:27
I have nothing against those things, ico. I just worry that getting dairy products in your nooks and crannies might cause some irritation.

I've never seen gay porn. I feel so square.

Nuts to Butts — Often used in basic when in-processing and standing in line, e.g. to get hair cuts or shots, new enlistees will be told to close up the lines with, "Lets go people, nuts to butts. Make your buddy smile."


From here.

(just trying to help, as usual)
posted by danf 03 March | 16:28
i have no problem with women but i have a problem with people who aren't enjoying themselves.
And more and more, i find i have a thing for maple syrup. The real stuff is so good but pricey.
posted by ethylene 03 March | 16:30
dunno mullac, for me, porn is between a man and a woman. Can't they call it "norp" or something?
posted by Hellbient 03 March | 16:32
Also, it seems one enthusiastic guy in the middle can make it all worthwhile.
Rock on, enthusiastic guy.

count me in favour of gay porn manstacks as well.

I've never seen porn, period. What's the attraction? (I'm not being disingenuous, I honestly wonder.)

Unless you count the Colin Farrell sex tape. Hmm.
posted by jokeefe 03 March | 16:37
Really, watching porn is a bit lazy: the best pr0n is the one you film in your mind. I make up really detailed backstories for the women.
I mean, detailed to the point of what their political beliefs and career goals are.
posted by pieisexactlythree 03 March | 16:40
Come to think of it, most of mine are 19th century costume dramas, which means putting a great deal of mental effort into set design, not to mention the complexities of fabric selection. And I'm describing this in a thread about gay sex.
posted by pieisexactlythree 03 March | 16:44
Hmm, i really did not want this to be a big discussion on the many aspects of porn.
Can't you wait for the hardback?

At least i know i can never have sex with pie. That's something. Fine with an acting gig with wardrobe, set and per diem, though.

Man, that has promise. Surely someone must have run with this before? "Porn is between one man and one woman. Okay, maybe one man and two women sometimes, I guess that's pretty hot."

I've never seen porn, period. What's the attraction?

It makes people sexually excited. People like being sexually excited, either as a means to an end or as a means itself. There's a gigantic world of discussion beyond that, of course, but that's the basic thing in a nutshell.
posted by cortex 03 March | 16:52
"...or as an end itself" is what that should say.

Is that different from a man stack?

daisy chain (cf. definition # 6).

Yes, clitty bang, yes it is.

AP, i always see daisy chain as more randomly configured.
posted by ethylene 03 March | 17:11
jeez, we got to 40 comments with no links to porn? are they banned here?

I get my free gay porn fix at xtube.com (which also has a straight section, but it seems like an afterthought) - there's bound be some stuff you definitely DON'T want to see, but there's almost certainly lots of stuff you do.

oh it's not free, desjardins. You still have to pay for it...

Where I'm from manstacking (which term I like better) is called "pulling a train" if it's anal, and your plain ol' vanilla "daisy chain" if oral.

What I want to know is why straight men require money shots in their porn. I mean, back in the VHS days, you could easily tell that that's always where the guys stopped watching ... if you know what I mean. It's like seeing a guy ejaculate made them ejaculate. Which seems to me a base, animal response rather than anything suggesting homoeroticism.

Someone should do a study.............
posted by WolfDaddy 03 March | 18:34
i like manstacking too; pulling a train just sounds like work. Same with anything called job. Not that you shouldn't take pride in your work.

Because straight men think everything ends when one guy comes.

You mean it doesn't?

For you, it does.
Just clean up and get out of the way. The grown ups have things to do.
posted by ethylene 03 March | 19:16
You might try justusboys.com. Has links to free and pay stuff, as well as some really odd forums.

There's also bananaguide.com and penisbot.com.

Happy hunting, just be aware that time slows down inside of the internet gay porn vortex.

manstacking sounds like a warehouse job where everyone is on pallets and dudes walk around without shirts on
posted by cmonkey 04 March | 08:51
not that that's a bad thing, mind you, but it sounds like hard work

On pallets? Think of the splinters!
posted by deborah 04 March | 11:17
Cushioned pallets!

I've also never seen gay porn, but I enjoy good porn now and again. As everyone said above, it's better when people actually look like they're having fun. I remember one "interview" tape- talking to different porn stars, some of them before, during, and after some sexual things (for lack of a better term). The ones I remember most were the male/female couple, professional porn stars, who really looked like they were having a good time until the interviewer interrupted them at the end.

Well, yeah, I get that bit. It's the other questions that puzzle me... what snippets I have seen appear horribly mechanical-- dull, robotic sex performed by people with alientatingly young and/or exaggeratedly sexual bodies. The woman look bored out of their minds, the guys like hideous fratboys. You know? Why would I want to watch that, when I can make stuff up myself, or, better yet, read porn instead?

Maybe I'm just a text-based lifeform. Heh.
posted by jokeefe 04 March | 14:14
Yeah, that's not the good porn, and obviously not your thing. But a lot of it has to do with whether you are already or can be sexually aroused.
Offering food to the nauseous doesn't work either, and if you are just not in the mood for porn, it's just as unwelcome.
There's a wide range of erotic whathaveyou out there, but if you haven't gone looking for it, how do you know? And it's all about what mood you're in.
The specific music you might like isn't always gonna be the most easily available either, and they push the stuff they want to sell and get rid of first, like old salad.

There's too much to talk about with the sex industry.
There's too much to talk about with sex.

Some people don't want to see people having sex.
Some people do.
Some people want to think they invented sex.
Some people humor them.
Some people really like cheese.
Some people are lactose intolerant.
Some people go through hyper sexual phases.
Some people have never had an orgasm and don't plan to.
Some people always think about sex.
Some people never think about sex.
Some people are in the mood, just not right now.

Who wants eggs?
