It fulfils a purpose and then you get on with your day,

and I think as a red-blooded male,

I am not the only one who feels this way.

Even you ladies too. Don't deny it.

I know what you get up to.

I'm watching you.

Now, then.

According to PornHub,

the most searched term for gay men is straight men.

I've got lesbian friends that really like watching gay male porn.

It's straight guys who are the biggest consumers

of trans porn, and of course,

transgender people enjoy watching cisgender porn as well.

And for any of you straight fellas watching,

you know those lesbians you love so, so much?

They're not real lesbians.

So basically it's a total clusterfuck.

In the online playground of porn,

sexuality is even more fluid than it is in the real world.

For better or worse,

porn is everywhere. Porn on your phone,

porn on your laptop, in the movies,

in your workplace. Porn - it's in your home.

Porn - it's right in front of you.

Porn. Don't you love it?

So who are the people that are making LGBTQ porn?

Why are they making it?

And who's watching it? Is there more to it than

just people getting themselves off?

Do I watch pornography?

Erm... I do.

Yeah. Yes.

Erm... Occasionally.

But I have a boyfriend, so please don't put that in.

I know a lot of people that have. I know a lot of people that do.

No.

Of course. Doesn't everyone?

It's so problematic.

It's fetishistic. It's tokenistic.

It's racist. It's sexist.

Oh, my God. Yes.

Yes, I do.

You know, I used to be, like, an addict of porn. Really?

Yeah, like, totally. No! No, honestly.

No. Not my kind of thing.

I love pornography.

I personally don't use it, no.

No, I don't. I've never been into it.

It's just not... Not my thing, really, no.

Yeah.

I've come to South London to meet George.

He's a gay porn star and producer

and he specialises in chav porn. Mm-hm.

So I'm going to go in there,

meet him and actually take part in a phone casting.

I'm pretty nervous, but if I'm honest with you,

really excited.

Hi, George. Hello.

Nice to meet you. How are you?

I'm very well, thank you. Nice to meet you. Come on in.

Look at your lovely flat. This is it.

Thanks for having me. That's OK.

So you've got an online character, an online persona,

who is he?

My online persona is Hung Young Brit.

And he is a...

A very poor, straight-acting chav. "You all right, mate?

"What's up wi' you?" Spit in their face.

You know, it's this kind of real sort of straight

fantasy that a lot of gay guys have. You know, about

very Nike, Adidas-wearing, chavvy, you know...

JD Sports kind of wearing chav.

Why is the straight lad, chav porn thing such a massive fetish?

I mean, I grew up in a town

that is very... A very poor commuter town.

And it's close to London and there is... It had a dockyard and

the dockyard closed down and all the jobs went away

and the boys on the street, as you're growing up,

are very...

..scally, they're very chavvy, and it's what I was fantasising about.

But what's interesting is you go on the gay scene,

no-one dresses like that.

You know, so in their minds, they might have a sexualised

image of, you know, a spitting, smoking chav.

But they're not going to dress like that or look like that

just to get laid. They're actually going to look very,

very smart, like yourself, you know?

Today we are working in the office.

I'm going to do the casting,

so I'll take you through the process from start to finish.

Is there a set of things that we are going to be looking for,

things that will completely rule them out,

and things that will put them into the top? Yeah.

You know, you don't ever want to convince anyone to do anything.

People have to be 100% natural,

so you need to know what their limits are,

cos you want to work around them.

You don't ever want them to work with you.

PHONE RINGS

'Hi.' Hi, Bruno. How are you doing?

It's George Mason calling from Hung Young Brit

from XTube, and are you still interested in being in adult films?

'Yes.'

You are? That's good news. We like that.

Have you done any videos before?

'No.' No.

Very well. By the way, I'm looking at your picture,

and you are very handsome, by the way, I've got to say,

you are very, very handsome.

'Thank you.'

Mm, no, we like that. Are you happy for guys to spunk in your mouth?

'Yeah.' Yeah, OK.

And likewise, if you were going to bottom in a video,

you are also happy to receive that?

'Both. I can give too.'

Cool, I think that's a yes, so we'll put yes on that one.

Cool, anything that you change your mind on,

and if you don't want to... You know, if you don't feel comfortable

doing it on the day, then you don't feel comfortable on the day.

It's absolutely not a problem. Why do you want to be in porn,

and can I ask you, what attracts you about being in the movies?

'I just want to see what this kind of work can offer.

'It's just, you know, it's try, if I like it or not.

'I want to try everything, so why not?

'I like sex. I like everything in sex, so...'

Brilliant, baby. I've got to tell you now,

that's exactly the right attitude.

Hi, Bruno. My name's Riyadh. What kind of porn do you look at?

BRUNO LAUGHS

'Erm... I like group, bareback, gang bang, something like that.'

Very open-minded. We like you, Bruno.

You are coming better and better by the minute.

Cool, all right, baby, listen, thank you very much for your time today.

Lovely talking to you. 'Thank you.'

Save my number. It's Hung Young Brit and I will speak to you soon.

OK, bye-bye.

Oh. Ooh.

Oh, I like him.

He's cute.

BOTH LAUGH

We're looking for the same thing!

Chest hair - smooth, natural.

Sexual role - versatile bottom.

Cock size - seven inches.

Cut, uncut - he's cut.

Oh, there we are. He likes... He's a transsexual.

I don't unfortunately have a market for that.

Aw! Aw! He's lovely, isn't he?

PHONE RINGS

'Hello?' Oh, I like him.

Jesus! That weighs something, doesn't it?

That's a big fucking...

It's almost disproportionate to his body, it's that big. It's like...

Wet and messy. W-A-M.

I think that's shit and piss, isn't it?

Have you done porn before? 'No.'

And in your ass?

'Yeah.'

And vice-versa, would you do it to someone else?

'Yeah.'

OK.

How much would I get paid

if I was to do porn?

It's about £150 for a solo scene,

and then anything from £200 to £300,

which 300, I can promise you, is the top end for every other studio,

to do full-on fucking.

I thought the actor would have got

like five, maybe ten grand?

You've always got to look at the reasons why someone's doing porn.

And if someone says, you know,

"Pfft! I want the money, times are hard right now."

You don't want to cast that guy,

cos that guy might regret it in the future. OK.

That was an eye-opener, to say the least.

I mean, George is

like the Alan Sugar businessman of the porn world.

I can't believe how business-savvy he is.

And the funny thing is,

when you look at the guys who have been applying,

these hundreds of guys,

almost all of them have never done porn before.

I'm really, really excited about the shoot day.

I don't know what to expect.

I know that George... He's a horny fella.

So maybe he'll want to take part more than he says he does.

I don't think that girl-girl porn is for girls.

I think it's for guys.

Trans porn's too much. Oh, no, I can't...

It's so fake!

To try and find body positive or gender positive trans porn,

it's just she-males or whatever.

The kind of people and bodies and

things that you see in pornography are so often

not what you experience in real life.

But it doesn't represent the LGBT community as a whole.

It just feels fake.

They've got long nails, for starters.

It's like you wouldn't have long nails.

They make noises when nothing's happening.

How many girls do you know have a pillow fight

and end up having sex? I don't think it really works.

It's just not something that you would ever do with a girl.

Across the pond in California,

award-winner film-maker Shine Louise Houston

and porn star Jiz Lee are creating what they term queer porn.

Hi. Hi.

Shine, Jiz, lovely to speak to you.

I'm Riyadh. Nice to meet you. Hi, nice to meet you.

Why did you decide that queer porn was the career for you?

Visual media is so powerful.

We see all these different stories about other people

all the time, but we don't really see a lot of stories

about ourselves, especially about queer people being sexual.

So I think it's really important for us to create our own,

like, narratives, where we are the objects of desire.

If we're not creating those narratives and we have other people

who don't have our experiences doing it for us,

or on our behalf, they often don't do it correctly.

The style that we shoot and also when we work with talent

we really ask them what they want to do today.

I don't direct the talent at all. I only direct the cameras,

so, you know, whatever they want to do, it's because, like,

they're really into it, so I think we get a more honest performance.

Is queer porn and what you're

creating important for the community?

In looking at pornography that often

is very limited in who gets to be sexy,

what kind of sex they have,

to not see yourself represented kind of...

It can make you feel that you're not normal. Right.

So it is really invalidating for a queer or for trans people,

people of colour, people of size,

people with different abilities,

to be able to see something and see themselves

reflected as someone who's capable of a happy, healthy sexuality,

and I think that queer and trans people look to porn a little

differently than heterosexual, cisgender people might.

Because for a long time we didn't have sex ed

that included trans or queer sexuality or orientation

and we didn't see ourselves in mainstream media

in those stories and so porn was this one place where we were.

I think it's come to, like, a critical mass.

You know, there's a lot of us. We're kind of a movement.
