These production differences teach powerful, unfortunate, and oftentimes racist lessons to consumers.

But queer guys are the overwhelming consumers of this specific genre. Undoubtedly, some women and heterosexual men have either accidentally or intentionally watched gay porn. Videos involving Black men had less of this – even less so when the videos included only Black men. Films with white guys having sex with each other often had plots and story lines the actors talked to each other more often before and during sex and there was more emotional intimacy between partners (gazing in each other’s eyes, gentle caressing, and kissing). One set of findings from my analysis are particularly relevant to the Common Sense report. Specifically, I watched 50 videos in each of these three racial groupings: white men having sex with white men Black men having sex with Black men and Black men having sex with white men. I did an analysis of these videos by race. These videos did not involve boys, teens, ‘twinks,’ or any men who appeared to be under the age of 18.

Obviously, I did so entirely for research purposes. I’ve watched 150 pornographic films on a website that has thousands of videos showing men having sex with men. The Common Sense report doesn’t offer a three-way intersectional analysis of the survey results by gender, sexual orientation, and race. It was 61% among Latino survey respondents. In addition, 69% of Black teens who’d watched porn indicated they’d viewed films that portrayed their racial group in stereotypical ways. Among LGBTQ+ teens in the sample, it was 89%. Just over 74% of respondents identified as heterosexual seven out of 10 said they’d been exposed to porn. In addition to discovering higher consumption rates among boys, there were also sexual orientation and racial differences in the Common Sense survey.
