When things aint what they seem

So now I’ve explained about two of the genres of pornography. Mainstream/generic porn and amateur/reality porn.

There are of course a whole host of other sub categories of porn film. All seem to stick to their own families rarely merging or seeking help from another.


There is the gay and transsexual market. Now although transsexual films can feature gay guys and of course trans gender people they also feature a lot of straight or bi girls. These girls are often but not all the time girls from the mainstream industry.

The gay market is big enough and bad enough to be self sufficient. Indeed in my experience the gay market was so unheard of or talked about in the UK scene I didn’t actually think any gay films were made in the UK until 2004 when I met my first gay adult movie producer at a sexual health conference.


These particular two families seem to look down their noses at each other. Mainly due to the stigma that AIDS is so high risk amongst gay men. The straight market thinks the gay one is dirty and disease ridden but the gay market – especially these days is more open to safe sex in its movies and so thinks of the straight market as the one who is dirty and unconcerned with disease.


Girls found to have worked in gay or transsexual movies are often shunned. I have heard many a porno chick say it’s a fantasy of hers. Porn people often develop some unusual fantasies and fetishes since normal sex becomes mundane when u do it day in and day out. Always looking for some other kink to rock your boat and make you feel like you did the first time you did it in front of a camera. Which is a sexual fantasy in itself isn’t it?


I was talking to a producer friend of mine one day who happened to mention that a model agent that he regularly used for his own films had a transsexual performer on its books. As I also happened to be on this agents books I called them up and asked them to tell this trans gender performer that I’d like to work with her. Turns out she makes her own movies here in the UK and in the USA. Eventually I got a call from Miss Thing and we did our first film together after initially meeting to make sure we both understood each other.


I was hesitant to meet as this is a rare occurrence in pro porn. Producers don’t have time to meet talent and chat over scripts and plot lines. Castings were rare but did on occasion happen. Most performers are simply cast on the fact that they look ok and haven’t been shot by that particular producer before. Or maybe just that they are free that particular day!


If someone asks to meet you pre shoot it’s usually a sign of someone up to no good. A wanna be producer or some porn fanatic trying to con you that they are a producer just to get to spend abit of time chatting and drinking coffee with you. You might ask why they bother going through this rigmarole when they can actually book a porn star through an escort agency and fuck her brains out if they really want but these types of guys actually get off on the facade. They are living out some sort of elaborate fantasy in which they want to play a part of more than just a fan or horny john.


These guys really are a nuisance as some girls are all too keen to work and will go along on the off chance Mr Time Waster is genuine. He just wants to know he can get her to do what he wants. It’s a power trip. Some just use it as an excuse to get to know you abit better. Which is quite stalker-ish really. Some think that all the girls sleep with the producers to get work and therefore if they pretend to be one they will get a free shag.


Anyway I think Miss Thing had just cause to ask to meet me. After all its not every day you get to play with a transsexual and girls are notorious for saying yes to things they don’t really understand and then at the last minute confessing they aren’t comfortable with it.


So I made my first transsexual porn debut.
