The Twink Question

June 2nd, 2010 by aussieboy63

I have had reason over the last few days to do a considerable amount of self-evaluation and assessment.  It came about after having a terrific discussion with a young Aussie who is trying to get into the Adult Entertainment Industry about twinks .  As only two Aussies can do our conversation was brutally honest and opinions were freely exchanged.

When we had finished our discussion, my brain went into overdrive, because some of what he said had me asking myself whether it applied to me.  His main argument regarding twinks was that some were so young looking, almost to the point of looking in their early teens and was this feeding some darker aspect of men’s lust.

I had to take a big step backwards and look at me very quickly, because I have found the gay life late, being in my forties, after living in the straight world.  For those who have tweeted with me they know I am candid and brutal in my self-assessment, so I asked myself was I subconsciously falling into that more sinister side of desire.

I have always loved looking at beautiful younger men, and my tastes in Adult Entertainment reflect that, and never thought of it up to now.  The reality is that Adult Entertainment, as two men I respect and speak to often confirm, is all about catering to our fantasies and the twink market indeed does cater to a largely older population.  Does that make me a monster?  Older men have throughout history have admired or craved younger and more beautiful men.  It is been going on since the Greeks first started carving statues and I believe will until there is no need for us to live in a fantasy world.

But let’s not just stop there we have spanking, bondage, gang-bangs, older men doing younger men…….and the list goes on when other fetishes or tastes are included.  Do the people who enjoy watching these types of videos then transfer this desire into real life, usually not.

What cars do most men want, if they answered honestly?  A red Ferrari!  Why because it is fast, it is powerful, it is beauty, it is desire and to most of us it is unobtainable. Perhaps that is why older men enjoy watching younger men have sex.

From first hand experience the straight entertainment market is awful with beautiful young ladies being humped by ugly old men in most cases.  YUK.  Straight guys still whistle at pretty women walking by them, it is a natural male instinct to seek out beauty.

When I first started looking for DVD’s or internet the mainstream gay stuff really didn’t set my world on fire.  Coming from my different background and being older I am quite secure with my manliness or what constitutes an average man.  I do not need to watch scenes with men that look like they should be on the WWF or bad-boy biker looks.  That is not my perception of manliness, and yet this stereo-typing is affecting the market I enjoy.

The studios that employ these young men are ageist because the market says so, but does it really?.  One of the studios that I subscribe to has members requesting the return of models, not because of their age, but rather because of their appeal or quite often, the quality of their work.  What concerns me is no matter how good their work is, once they reach this “magic” number of 22 they are redundant with twink studios and the mainstream do not seem to want to know them unless they dramatically change their body shape in order to fulfil some imposed perception that they “man-up.”

To me twink more defined the body shape for me and I would watch a 30 year old model with that shape still, but the market does not give me that choice.  There are two stars (I happily call them that because of the quality of their work and volume of work at various studios) whose work I have always liked, Andy Kay and Phillip Ashton. Why? Because they always put on a good show and give me my money’s worth.  Unfortunately for me they are apparently not as marketable in front of the camera and are mainly behind the camera.  So when I hear of a scene with them in it, I am in raptures and the studio gets my money for the month.  I also loved watching Aiden Ash and Jackson Miller and they can’t seem to get a gig at all.  Although, I do need to thank Bryan at Boycrush for bringing Patrick back for one hell of a scene with Patrick Kennedy.

I understand new and shiny brings new models into the system but they are all starting to look the same and the plastic over-scripted performances question my investment.  I am a consumer, happily paying my monthly subscription, rather than pirating, so I have every right to expect entertainment.  I am fortunately finding more options, plus my tastes are evolving, but the leap between the options is too great. . Although I really hate X-Tube maybe something like that which allows people to post scenes and charge for it needs to be done, but obviously in a more structured and controlled manner. 

I dare say I will revisit this discussion, cause when you sitting there reflecting things pop into your head all the time.  As I said in my first post these are purely my opinions and I like a good debate, but in the end I will always see what I think and what I feel.

    you hit this spot on I think we do look to young men as we get older and this is a natural human reaction common to gays and straights. I think too the ageist anti Twink attitude common in mid 20′s to mid 30′s men is reaction to fading youth, no secret we all start paying attention to fitness at this age!

    I do hear from Twink producers all the time about a particular model being “over it” age wise, yet this is more an over exposure than actuall age.

    Andy Kay for instance readily agreed he had filmed close to 30 scenes before he was 21, meaning some over exposure was going on among fans.

    The best porn career can be summed up by Brent Everett and Pierre Fitch (7 years and 10 respectively) they are still going strong by PACING themselves no over exposure.

    I think you hit it right on the head about all of this. I LOVE the comparison to the car, that really put it into perspective. I am 20 years old, and although my tastes in men is of a wider range then most my age, I still love the looks of younger, in shape guys, and I know I am not a pervert lol. I like the “model” of the “car”.

    But I also enjoy the classic cars as well :)
