There's a German expression:

Jedem Tierchen sein eigenes Plaisierchen -

To each little animal, its own little pleasure.

I reviewed "Buckback Mountain" for an online video site and I must say that "I enjoyed it." I had to get my mind into a certain frame, but I eventually equalized. There are many gay men who actually buy/rent straight porn.

Personally, I know many who PREFER hetero smut to the gay material. I think it's all about the type of men in those films, mixed with personal fantasies about having sex with str8 guys.

When a gay man watches straight porn, he usually identifies with the female whore. His fantasy is that HE is that woman on the screen getting fucked half to death.

I've heard from many guys who felt at one time or another during their life, that they wanted to BE female and had also fantasized about having a sex change! Well, a variety of things go through people's minds AND no, they are NOT crazy, just curious.

After watching Buck Angel's film, my imagination went wild. If half of gay men were born with vaginas, it would change the world as we know it. I don't have the time to go through the whole scenario, but THINK about it. What if in utero, male embryos, who will lean towards bottoming were born with vaginas; grow up as self-identified males like Buck or straight-acting gay men (including the effeminate), can you imagine how str8 men would react to that segment of the gay populous? If those gay men (w/vaginas) had the same mindset regarding sex as most men (gay or hetero), the female "no" factor could all but be eradicated from the dating scene as str8 men now know it.

Most gay men I know fuck on the first date and most women won't. If they could, most hetero men would too, but usually they must deal with the "no" factor. During my years (in this gay business) I, along with zillions of other gay men, thought that a first date without sex was a failure!

Just think, str8 men, who deep down inside, really don't LIKE women as people, but like having sex with the them, could eliminate what they mostly dislike about females (too much talk, wanting gifts, compliments, MONEY, at least six dates before sex, other female rules & regulations, etc.) and have a debauched sex life featuring gay men with pussies! Afterwards, they could talk about football and other man-stuff. Think about it.

That was only a fantasy, but in a way, it's one that Buck Angel can actually live out.

While I am personally turned off by a man with a vagina, I respect people for who and what they are. Buck is pretty much a prime example of the natural evolution of things. Everything changes and we will ALWAYS see things we have never seen before. The only thing that seems to fail in keeping up with the evolutionary scale is the human mind. At least in most cases. Take George W. Bush for example.

Just for the record here:

Hemingway's novel The Garden of Eden has passages where male and female characters in sexual situations imagine themselves to be changing their genders.

Scribner published it decades after Hemingway's death, and only included a small portion of the entire manuscript, so only scholars who have seen that know how deeply Hemingway delved into this realm.

It is being adapted into a film directed by John Irvin, and Screen International is calling it a "boundaries-breaking erotic drama." Mena Suvari and John Huston will star.

I hate to admit this but I was trying to come up with a "Chicks with Dicks" type phrase to describe this kind of thing.

All I could think of was "Wussies with Pussies."

Can anybody else do any better?
