A few years ago, it would have been very difficult to find any websites dedicated to hardcore gay sex, especially from mainstream producers, as the adult media industry was overlooking the huge market potential of gays; porn companies quickly changed their tunes when the niche genre market exploded. When this happened, about five years ago, adult media websites were searching out ever possible niche market where they could squeeze out additional profit from the super competitive mainstream market by focusing on under served markets such as blacks, Hispanics, gays, and other marginalized sexual communities.
I bet one of the main reasons that gay porn clips became a valuable resource for porn producers was the relatively cheap labor source of young gay men who are generally much cheaper than their female starlet counterparts. Almost naturally good looking by stereotype, these young strapping hunks were willing to do gay porn clips for next to nothing, and producers were also thrilled to find a thirsty and receptive audience for their new content directed exclusively for gays.
Porn sites marketed to the gay community quickly found that their customers were hungry for online content that could be streamed right to the comfort and privacy of their living rooms, and billed anonymously to their credit cards in a discrete manner that protected their sexual orientation from the public while allowing them to explore their erotic fantasies through a medium that had largely only catered to straight audiences. In some ways, the development of the mainstream porn industry could not have come at a better time for adult content providers, as it not only exposed a highly lucrative market, but also showed that in addition to porn shot specifically for gays, there were even further niche markets within the gay online community were available to exploit, and that by getting into the gay porn initially as a niche market, have found that it has nearly the same ultimate potential as the straight market.
