I'm sorry, but, they do realize gay men are a lot more than just cruising sex club stereotypes in porn right? Porn that is overwhelmingly consumed by, and produced for, women? Just like lesbian porn is largely consumed by men, stats (last I checked) indicate gay porn is mostly consumed by women.

Point being, I've never in my life called any orifice or organ of mine any synonym for "vagina" nor would I do so. Nobody I've ever hung out with, dated, spoken to, has ever done so. But go ahead, just make homophobic assumptions and stereotypes about every man who loves other men, and erase our sexuality, just because you're a bunch of creeps who want to predate on (and apparently hate) gay men. Jesus.

I was curious about your claim, so looked it up and found that PornHub compiled some statistics: https://www.pornhub.com/insights/girls-like-boys-who-like-boys

Women are more likely to consume gay porn than men are (not a big surprise given that most men are straight), but only 37% of PornHub's gay porn viewers are women.

These stats are from 2017.

Regardless, I don't think you're wrong--stereotypes about gay men are ubiquitous. Though take one look in any of the usual LGBT communities and you'll find that they're fair game for those stereotypes.

From your link:

Overall, Gay Male porn is still the second most popular category among women, but for those over the age of 45 it surpasses “Lesbian” to become the #1 most viewed category.

So ''lesbian'' is the first most popular category among women, and "gay men" the second? What? Really? Why are women watching so much of same sex porn?

M/F always has an inherent power imbalance I don't feel like caring about while watching porn.
