A very prominent (superstar) gay porn actor was recently indicted for possession of copious amounts of child porn. As so many convicted criminals are who dabble within this particular illegal activity, he was caught via a ruse. Federal agents posing otherwise online coaxed this porn actor to share illegal content. From there a law enforcement search of his home ensued and much more illegal material was uncovered within the man's apartment (thumb drive).
There's a boatload of relevance to this turn of events, and I'm going to attempt to summarize therein within this post.
This gay porn actor is in his early 40s. He's a very affably attractive (6'-4" / 250lbs) white man who could easily sub for an action TV star on any popular streaming service's bloated screening menu.
According to published interviews, he's only been associated with sharing / creating gay porn since 2020, and back then, it was the pandemic's vocational pressures that positioned him to take the plunge (he'd been working successfully as a retail salesperson).
Him creating a site on OnlyFans garnered instantaneous attention, and in turn, fistfuls of cash. For he apparently had copious amounts of homebrewed solo porn vids that served to satiate his newfound stardom online. This eventually led him to contract with a gay porn studio and another and another. His ascent to fame / fortune within the industry was meteoric. As such, of all the men who've ever bowed to this level of debauchery, he arguably was the first to successfully and steadily bridge the mainstream gap by spearheading content that in no way smelled of creep or fake or most importantly - gay man. This is what allowed him to stand apart, garnering him award after award. From there, illustrious recognition followed suit along with unimaginable / unprecedented influence as a porn star.

Let me expound further.
Watching this guy have sex with other men is akin to having a front row seat at the Olympiads. He's a "natural" lover of men.
Specifically, there's a tenderness to his moves that in no way implies "gay for pay". This combined with an absolute comfortableness whilst being in front of the camera elevates the smut to new heights.
And this, undoubtedly, is where his popularity took root and was continuing to thrive feverishly online. It was honest to goodness recognition for doing something no one else has / could.
-------------------------
Throughout the years, I've met my fair share of men who've had sex with other men. Many of them are frank regarding their disappointment in the experience. Much of that is centered around the notion of "pity sex". This being finding another man to have sex with, but soon realizing that they're only involved out of remorse (pity or perhaps curiosity) versus true interest.
Also, on rare occasion, I've been told stories of men who've been seduced into bed with another man only to find the mood shift unexpectedly towards aggression / assault.
And then, of course, there's simply the unattractiveness of the stereotypical gay man as a whole. Taking into account their unfortunate penchant for mental health issues (much of it the result of trauma / neglect) combined with a propensity for epidemic proportions of promiscuity (normalization of recreational sex) plus the subsequent sexually transmitted diseases that go along with those behaviors.
It's overall an ugly, broken populace that tries desperately to decry its radicalized normality. This in line with threats / accusations of hate, hate, hate towards anyone who's even slightly critical of the stupidity.
But then, homegrown "Austin Wolf" came along to serve as the theatrical exception.

Western culture embraces the rights of the individual. This combined with America's undeniable melting pot of citizenry has, for the most part, favored sympathy towards the downtrodden and weak. And these are good things.
When you read that, it sounds so noble and holy. But one cannot deny our free enterprise system and how it tends to exploit the sweet by and by for its own gain. As such, it's very much a not at all blindly symbiotic relationship that too few even mildly comprehend.
I screened "Million Dollar Baby" with my father back in 2004. Back then, I was often looking for opportunities to funly spend time with my dad. This film seemed like a surefire bet.
All in all, I came away from the film impressed, but also a little confused. For I'd never known of female boxing being a real thing.
Our 'hood (81 lots) likely has as many dogs residing within as humans. Many homeowners have multiple dogs. We either hear them barking whilst out in the yards, or we see them leashed / being walked through the 'hood like clockwork.
I have friends who believe men who're dogless should have their heads examined. Especially if their men with children.
Sports is big, big, big business as is pet food / supplies / training / kenneling / grooming and so forth. There's a lot of money to be made therein. In turn, this perpetuates / normalizes the activity behind the economics via popular opinion and marketing influence.
The gay male resides within a MASSIVE economic sector, but it's one of the trickiest to normalize (make mainstream). Why?

But then, homegrown "Austin Wolf" came along to accidently serve as the bridge.
I would argue that had Justin Heath Smith not recently been locked up, awaiting his soon to be arraignment and eventual trial, he may very well have served to successfully plant the seeds of reset of the public's perception of gay men. And not simply due to his onscreen presence / actions but via his uninhibited persona / greater good approach to the gay porn industry as a whole.
If you don't believe me, I challenge you to do some research on your own regarding this massively influential individual. For this guy seemingly was the Dale Carnegie of the gay porn industry. And what I mean by that is ambitious, collaborative wrapped within a deeply sincere package.
-------------------------
We are witnessing the beginnings of the elevation of the gay male as equal to the straight male in terms of interpersonal / relational respect. And all of this ultimately is hinged on the complete normalization of homosexual activity between men. As a result, it won't be too much longer 'till parents celebrate / anticipate their children moving into the homosexual lifestyle to the same degree that they do the hetero.
The front door for this pivot resides within these truths. But the ultimate fumigation of our cultural structure will fall on men who provide the public with a face that's buyable. One that represents what collectively is labeled as "what I might aspire to be / become".
This is where the American Dream pauses in a big way to reconsider its future direction.
Who might we see next, take up this mantle, on behalf of these and will they even marginally realize the significance of their role therein as it pertains to this paradigm shift?
