Gay For Pay, and That’s OK
“Actor/filmmaker Charlie David, best known for his work in gay independent cinema, takes on a fascinating, sometimes controversial subject in a new hour-long documentary. In I’m a Porn Star: Gay4Pay, David chats with guys who identity as straight but are willing to have sex with men, including performing as bottoms, on camera for money. The filmmaker also interviews gay-identified performers, who say they have no problem working with straight guys. It’s a job, after all.” Bay Area Retporter

For now, there’s Muscle Beach, by the Santa Monica pier, where you lift rusty dumbbells with bikini-clad men like Malcolm Brenner, a.k.a. “The Pacific Coast Hercules,” and Joe Gold, the future founder of Gold’s Gym. Also on the scene: Bob Mizer, a wavy-haired, gentle-eyed, self-trained photographer of twenty-four, and the recent founder of the Athletic Model Guild, which sells photos of buff men to discerning customers.” New Yorker
