Gay Porn Blog, whose crappiness is rivaled only by that of the lousy X-rated soap opera it promotes on a desperately frequent basis, remains in my bookmarks folder because… Well, I honestly don't know. Sometimes it's good for a laugh, but routinely describing well-endowed fuck machines as "phenomenally talented" and "magnetic" gets old once you realize it's done without the slightest shred of irony. (Listen, I'm not anti-porn, but that's like admiring a McDonald's employee for her mastery of the spatula.)
Anyway, the editors of Gay Porn Blog occasionally strive for journalistic integrity by playing 20 Questions with an up-and-coming cum slut. Forget about asking Matthew Rush if opening up one's anus for business is as degrading and cynical as it seems; we're talking softball here, kiddies.
How did you come up with your porn name? (What? Mrs. Dover didn't actually name her son Ben?!) What sex act haven't you tried? (Vaginal intercourse is a more common answer than scat.) And the peculiarly phrased, Which celebrity would you most like to bed? (I'm sorry, but when you're interviewing someone who has sex with other men for money, is it really necessary to pad your questions with such euphemisms as "to bed"?)
The most recent Gay Porn Blog Interview penetrates deeply into the mind of Ethan Marc, a "grad student" from Kentwood, La. That's right, folks. Even more unbelievable than his hailing from the hometown of Britney Spears is his pursuit of higher education, and even more unbelievable than that is the harrowing tale he offers as his "first gay experience." Behold:
It was senior year of college, and I was president of my frat. We had an annual toga party every year ... and in the tradition of not wearing anything under the toga, you were chastized [sic] if you wore things under it. I had always had a crush on my little brother in the frat but I never thought he was gay. He was helping me clean up afterwards and ....
Okay. Let's get real, people. Replace "senior year of college" with "tenth grade," "president of my frat" with "vulnerable and alone," and "annual toga party" with "bathroom of the local Blockbuster," and I think we're going somewhere. Save the lies and delusions for Penthouse Forum, Ethan.
Though Ethan wins the "I'm Living a Wet Dream" award, there are a few other distinctions that must be made. So without further ado, I present the best of The Gay Porn Blog Interview's "My First Gay Experience"!
The "In Some States, Curbside Prostitution Is Actually Illegal" Award
Edu Boxer: After I just finished military service, I was hitching home. A car stopped, inside was a handsome man of about 40. I got in, he drove a hidden country lane. He sucked me off till I came, then he drove me home.
The "It Was Like a Fairytale" Award
Ashton Sorenson: I was sitting in a hotel with my best friends and a Latin guy cruised me and he asked me for a drink ... in his hotel room.
The "Cute But Produces Filthy and Unsavory Mental Image" Award
Brad Benton: 13. Me and my boyfriend of 6 years.
The "I'm Straight, Seriously" Award
Cody Cash: My first gay experience was in Tampa on film actually.
And finally…
The "There Is Nothing Hotter Than a Porn Star with a Sense of Humor" Award
