Pride A History2

If you couldn’t tell from all of the rainbow flags that are probably flying in your neighborhood, all of the major corporations (and minor businesses) who have discovered their inner gay, and all of the adverts online featuring drag references, June is unofficially, but also kind of officially, Pride month. Of course, that used to refer to a gay holiday – really the only one they have, right (?) – but now it has been expanded to something everyone can enjoy.

As people used to say, I am always up for a gay ol’ time, so I thought, “fuck it. Let’s talk about the big month-long festivities we have been in and are in for this month.” I have blogged about holiday-themed porn before, after all, so why not, right?

In case you think this is going to be a dry rehash of history, don’t fret at all, darlings. Throughout this blog, I’m going to pepper plenty of my crass humor, clever quips, and other gaze gratifying goodies throughout.

It all started with a riot and police brutality – but also not really

PrideProtest

As we all know, queer people have been around as long as there have been people, but not everyone was “out” per se. Depending on the culture and the time, it was taboo or even illegal to be openly gay, which may surprise some of my readers on the younger side. In fact, as recently as the middle of the 20th century in western countries, you could be institutionalized for being gay.

However, from about the dawn of psychology a hundred years ago, medical authorities (particularly European ones) didn’t view homosexuality as being deviant, but just different.

Piggybacking off of this and taking advantage of the momentum of the civil rights movement, American queer people started social campaigns to normalize same-sex attraction and get people to come out, as the saying goes. This led to activists and more gay hangouts being polemically targeted by the repressed religious crazies and harassed by police. Seriously, it was bad – crossdressers were arrested for not having enough “gender appropriate” clothing, gay clubbers had their heads dunked into used mop buckets, and crazy shit like that.

(In the mid-sixties, technically, the first Pride-Esque events were taking place, but they weren’t that big at the time.)

After being constantly picked on by the authorities, a drag queen threw a rock in retaliation, and the Stonewall riots broke out and lasted nearly a week in Manhattan.

And queer people and straight people got crazy mobilized

After the epic fallout of the Stonewall Riots, activists and allies mobilized all over the United States and elsewhere around the world organizing even more so. Rather than resort to violent protest, organizers started developing marches and other peaceful demonstrations throughout the ‘70s. While initially kind of uniform in practice – i.e., organized chanting, carrying signs, political demonstrations – Pride has become far more varied.

Now Pride is everywhere and for everyone

Pride event

Now there is a question, “is the whole thing still political?” I think not, at least not really, not like it used to be. If you ask me, the reason they stopped calling it gay Pride is because it’s for all people. I’ve seen events wherein people of all kinds show up no matter their background. Some people bitch about this, but as a guy who likes to party and get it on with sexy bi-gals, this is great news for me.

And as the header says, there are Pride celebrations damn near anywhere sexuality isn’t criminalized – and even in some places where it is. Even really religious countries don’t have too much of a problem with these festivals.

In fact, it might surprise you to find out that Israel is one of the biggest countries to host Pride events in Israel. Yeah, that’s right. One of the world’s most queer-friendly countries is located in the Middle East. Seriously, check this out; there some crazy-ass footage that has come out of that country.

What can you expect and should plan for when going to such an event?

Pride

As you will soon find out, my interest in going to Pride events has to do with my interest in wild women who swing both ways. But since I want to help all people, no matter their gender or orientation, I do have a series of recommendations if you want to go to Pride anywhere in the world.

Don’t expect to just get laid.

Granted, you have a good chance to get some, but it’s not a guarantee, no matter what you look like. Join all of the dating and “dating” apps you want, but not everyone is going to want to fuck you. I would say, that you should enter in with low expectations and optimistic ideals.

Still, no matter which gender you are into, there is a higher than average chance that you can get lucky. Trust me; I have it on good authority.

Bring a bag packed with the necessaries

If you are going out to Pride, then you are going to need the traveling gear for the hot weather if you are living in the northern hemisphere and close to the equator. Hell, even if you are living in Rio De Jenario, Brazil, temps can climb up to 24.2°C (AKA 75.6°F). So, if you are a little sensitive to being a little warm around the gills, you are going to need to pack a water bottle or two.

And if you are on the pale-skinned side, investing in getting sunscreen will help you a lot. Speaking as a redhead who isn’t the most melanated, believe me, it is worth the purchase.

Other things I would recommend would be bringing a charger and a compatible cord. After all, we live in an age wherein it’s a good idea, be it for work, social contacting, recreation, or whatever, it’s a good idea to have a charged mobile device.

Dress as needed – you’ll want to

When it comes to what you should wear, there is no dress code – at least as far as I know. But given the probable heat range will be, I would strongly advise dressing for the weather. Whatever it is, you should always, always wear athletic shoes (read: trainers, sneakers, kicks) since you are likely – or most certainly will want to do – is walk around a lot.

Know where to go to have the best time

If you ask me, this should go without saying, but do research before you go out, and I don’t just mean in terms of taking the atmospheric conditions into account. If you’re going to go out, then look at the places where you can go. When it comes to most Pride events, most cities will have a massive number of posts on a website (or often a few nowadays) and will send out email notifications when you can expect fun activities to go down. Since this is the case, get plugged into the net and get prepared.

Consider getting a sherpa

If you’re autistic-level awkward or are one of those super PC people who are paranoid about committing a social faux pax, think about getting a guide. I’ve heard apps like Grindr might be able to help you out with that. Just make sure you make your intentions known upfront, especially if you’re a good-looking guy.

Otherwise, you might come off as soliciting someone for sex rather than just to hang out. Believe me, a “friend” of mine told me to do so based on experience. 😉

Be ready to have fun

This is a festival; it’s a holiday, it’s a time to have fun.

So, get to it and, once you are all prepped, have a good time. As someone who has seen a decent number of crazy Pride porn featuring fine-ass females (you’ll see the proof further down this post), I am perfectly aware that Pride can be a wild-ass party. To sum up, no matter what you are interested in (even if you lean asexual), this is an event you’re going to want to attend.

Effects on the erotic industry

Effects on the erotic industry

Alright, for those who are feeling a bit flaccid and not as interested as they thought, this is one of the sections that you have been looking forward to. How has Pride affected adult entertainment?

Now, to be honest, it hasn’t been a great deal. People are still pumping out smut on pro sites on a monthly basis, and amateur content is uploaded all of the time. However, my research has shown that there has been an uptick during the mid-year months in super wild porn that certainly seems to correlate with Pride month.

Most of it, in my opinion, is hyper-exhibitionist erotic featuring crazy fuckers do all sorts of raunchy shit outdoors. It shouldn’t be all that surprising, I suppose, seeing as even at more vanilla events, there are plenty of people who are wearing pretty skimpy outfits.

When it comes to more raunchy incarnations of Pride (looking at you, San Francisco) you’ll literally find folks fucking in the street, streaking, and all sorts of sensual activities in public views. If you check the tube sites, there is no shortage of guys getting it on in a back alley.

(I’ll let you all look it up for yourselves, but trust me, there are petabytes of it.)

But what about the professional porn industry. Well, as one might expect, there is a gaggle of a Googleplex (points if you get the reference) of gay guy videos that come out (or are released XD) around this time. And I’ll go back to why I’m not focusing on those right now, but there have been some nice, Pride-themed pornos out there which will appeal to a lesbian and hetero audience.

video player blog

To give you one of the finer examples, I managed to find a free, verified, and legal full video from Web Young that features talents including Sabina Rouge and Hazel Grace among a few of their foxy friends.

And now for some shameless self-promotion

Keeping with the theme of this month, I’m going to go on for a bit for the holiday-appropriate posts I have made regarding gay (read: lesbian) porn over the years.

As you might be able to tell from much of my work, this is a type of porn I have a great deal of affection for. I like to say that it is very near and dear to my heart and head…both of them. Of course, most of the women that make it big in the business, such as Asa Akira, Jenna Jameson, and others, are famous in part for their lady-on-lady scenes.

Seriously, check out this list and find someone who hasn’t done at least a few dozen dames on camera?

This was a trend that I’ve noticed goes back decades, at least as far back as the day of Nina Hartley and Hyapatia Lee – and that trend seems to continue to this day. In fact, with only a few exceptions, pretty much every pornstar I’ve ever interviewed has, in essence, said 1.) “yeah, I’d do a girl on camera,” or 2.) “FUCK YEAH, I’d get down with another woman in a porno.”

To give you a fun quote from my talk with Catalina Ossa

“I actually prefer girls over guys. My first few relationships were with girls, and my first sexual experience was with a girl. Yes, I do consider getting with girls.”

Since I know, you are wondering, if you want to know what I think the hottest lesbian videos are out there now, I’ll direct you to this blog where you can see descriptions of and links to said media.

Of course, when it comes to my work, nothing beats the classics. So, if you are looking to get access to reviews of twenty-seven, free-to-see lesbian websites, not only that, but thanks to me, with a couple of quick clicks, you can get direct access to these sites and start surfing and jerking away.

But if you are looking for the best of the best, then I don’t think anything can beat the list of websites shown on this page. Truly, if you think that I missed a site that is better than the epic work seen on Twisty’s, Mommy’s Girl, and all of the other lesbian-exclusive erotica pages, then let me know.

I would luv to hear about it.

But what about the dude-dude smut?

dude dude smut

If you’ve been wondering, “PornDude, why is there so little gay porn? You know, the guy-on-guy kind?” And to put it all out there, I have mentioned this before, but since this blog is buried deep in the archives,  I’ll quote from it to give you an idea…

“I have reviewed adult entertainment of all kinds, and people often ask me: what am I really into. I get that since I have covered almost every kind of kink from watersports to bondage and even poop porn. For all of my hard work, I do occasionally get tit pics from my adoring female fans, and even dick photos from horny fellas.

Along with all of that, some of those (hopeful) dudes ask me if I like a penis as much as they do and why I don’t cover gay porn. To be honest, while I have said in the past that I have an open mind and can be flexible, this legendary dick is for the ladies only.”

But as I have noticed before, a lot of people besides gay guys like gay porn. Clearly, women do, as I have noted in an old post. Hell, when I did the research for the top twenty porn sites for women, a few of them featured fap media with men only.

Furthermore, it looks like a good number of straight studs do as well. So, if you are into seeing some of the best locales online for lad-on-lad loving, then I’ve got a short blog that briefly describes what I think the top ten gay porn sites are, or at least in 2019.

Anyway, those are the bite-sized blogs that I would recommend if you aren’t sure where to get the best, freshest fap material showing men only. If you want a far more immersive experience on a platform that hosts hundreds of reviews of gay porn almost as extensive as ThePornDude is the gay version sister site.

You are welcome in advance…

The future of PornDude blog

Alright so, happy holidays to all this month, but before I wrap up, I have a question.

Since we’re about halfway through the month, and I’m always the people pleaser, I do want to know what you think about my work. While I’ve got my own long-term plans and plenty of goals, I sincerely want to know, where do you want to see this blog go?

If you’ve got an idea and want to leave consistent feedback on what I post then you can follow me on Twitter. It may not seem like much, but you do that helps me a lot by influencing Twitter’s algorithm. And when you interact with posts or comments, it tells me what’s hot to you all and what’s not.

Speaking of comments, one of the best ways I can tell what you all think of my work is by commenting on PornDude Castings videos. I really do read each and every one of them and respond to quite a lot of them.

If you really have a good idea, then read this page and shoot over an email. I do take things under advisement from time to time and do appreciate ya’ll’s creativity. Of course, if you are a lovely young lady and want to film with me, then do not at all hesitate to contact me on my new website page or, if in doubt my PornDudeCasting Twitter account.

For those of you who that does not apply that’s fine, there is plenty of hot videos to look up, with more being added all of the time.

Alright, with this epic beast of piece finished, the only thing that I have to say is, Happy Pride!
