According to Pornhub, straight men comprise one third of searches in its gay male porn category called coach gay porn. But why are these straight men searching this section?

Alix Fox from Radio 1 and several health professionals provided insight. Their answers revealed some interesting truths.

1. They’re attracted to same-sex couples

Straight people drawn to gay porn often enjoy watching two men care for each other and express affection toward one another, as well as its sensuality; watching man-on-man action makes them feel more at ease discussing it with their partners than heterosexual porn.

The attraction between heterosexual people and same-sex couples demonstrates how more accepting our society has become, as well as showing that sexual orientation and gender identity isn’t always binary; there’s often some variation within either side, with people experiencing different feelings towards either partner depending on circumstances or over time.

Neville conducted her research by interviewing and surveying over 500 women over a five year period. Many of the women she spoke to reported enjoying watching gay male erotica due to its focus on men’s bodies and beauty; many also claimed to have imagined themselves as men while orgasming to gay male porn.

Man-on-man porn isn’t about romance scenes like Brokeback Mountain; rather, men turn to gay porn for various fetishes including bondage, fisting, cock and ball torture, sadomasochism and sounding (sticking things up your urethra). These same interests have also been explored within heterosexual pornography so it shouldn’t come as any surprise when these kinds of scenes pop up there as well.

2. They’re curious

Pornhub statistics reveal that men who identify as straight have the highest searches for gay male erotica on Pornhub, making up roughly 60% of searches on this topic. Although researchers find it interesting that some men attracted to women may also enjoy watching homosexual content on Pornhub, their researchers don’t find this too surprising: people’s sexual interests and attractions don’t always match perfectly up with their identity,” according to Downing.

Researchers simply do not yet have enough participants for studies comparing sexually explicit media consumption among both heterosexual and gay/bisexual men, so most research on men’s porn viewing lumps these groups together and concentrates on issues like male violence against women or HIV risks.

No studies exist that differentiate these groups, though few and far between. When they do exist, however, it’s often difficult to tell whether their differences are meaningful or significant.

Still, it’s important to keep in mind that just because some people enjoy viewing certain kinds of porn does not indicate they want to engage in that same type of activity themselves. A man watching guy-on-guy porn may simply be out of curiosity or is hoping for new bedroom experiences; regardless of his motivations for watching this type of content it would be wiser for both you and him to talk openly about his watching habits rather than making assumptions – it might just be something they both find fascinating!

3. They’re in a relationship with a man

Have you heard the saying, “All straight boys become gay?” While that can be partially accurate, many heterosexual men who were raised as heterosexual can find themselves drawn towards other men – for a variety of reasons such as having worked alongside certain individuals who might attract him at work, or that cute barista who always gives him sidelong glances. No matter their motivations may it lead to confusion over their relationships.

One of the challenges associated with relationships is admitting your desire to explore your sexuality; because of this, many people choose not to reveal their desires to explore sexuality if they’re unhappy in them, fearful that coming out as gay or bi will force them out altogether.

As such, it’s imperative that your partner understands your desire to explore your sexuality freely without interference or punishment from them. Furthermore, fluidity of any kind should not only be tolerated but should actually be celebrated.

4. They’re trying to switch things up

Heterosexual porn can be exploitative, degrading and portray troubling gender dynamics – it’s no wonder why many women find heterosexual content repugnant; but what if there was another option available to them? Many straight people turn towards gay male porn.

These video shooters, known as “alts”, produce content known as alt pornography. This type of gay pornography actors often come from various backgrounds but all identify as gay or bisexual; during scenes featuring BJs being given out freely or engaging in mutual masturbation; there may even be top vs bottom scenarios taking place during such videos.

These alts typically have specific reasons for creating this kind of pornography. Some may wish to break away from the highly competitive mainstream industry that often appears exploitative and harsh; while others seek out alternative forms of sexual erotica which offer something less exploitative and more empowering.

Some men want to push themselves by exploring new styles or types of kink. One alt actor named Louis decided to set up his own alt porn account after posting some faceless dick pics in a Reddit subforum.

If you are feeling uncertain or uncertain about your sexual orientation, seeking the advice and counsel of a physician or counselor may help provide necessary tools for healthy decision making.
