Why is there so little Interactive Porn for Bottoms?
Former Adult Star, and current Sex Toy Consultant, LeNair Xavier, has blessed us with an opinion piece once again. LeNair ventures into asking "why" there is such a lack of quality interactive porn focussed on Gay "Bottoms". Is everything too "Top"-centric? We at Kiiroo are definitely inviting our content partners like FeelMe and FeelXVideos to read and learn about his visions! Find out!
Interactive and VR porn are very much anticipated advances in adult entertainment that has finally arrived. This is with much thanks to companies like Kiiroo and the companies they have partnered with to make interactive porn available for us to enjoy.
Due to the high volume of videos available to interact with those sex toys, this advance in adult entertainment has been most beneficial to the penetrating male and his fantasies, be he straight or gay. Next in line are straight females.
There is, however, a group not being well represented by interactive porn. Those would be gay male bottoms who enjoy gay porn.
This is not to say that interactive porn directed at bottoms does not exist. It does. The problem is that the percentage is too far below those of videos marketed to other sexual orientation groups. I once admitted in a post on “L’s X-Ray Vision” that while I’m versatile in real life, in most of my masturbation fantasies, I’m a bottom. Even if I know the guy I'm fantasizing about is a total bottom.
When I include porn viewing in my masturbation sessions, however, odd as it may
seem, I primarily watch straight porn. Hence why my interactive porn viewing has had me masturbate to many men on sites like FeelPorna, which are programmed more so for the action of internal anal-friendly toys like the We-Vibe Nova and OhMiBod Fuse.
Before writing this article, I have searched other websites featuring interactive and VR gay porn. You would think those sites would have an equal number of videos for tops and bottoms. Sadly, that is not the case. Instead, most of the videos accommodate the fantasies of tops.
This affects the sex toy companies that create interactive toys by limiting their customer base. Most males don't like to improvise with their porn.
With that said, what made the lacking of interactive porn for bottoms an issue for me was sparked by a flashback to a weekend I once had masturbating, which I refer to as my "FeelMe" Weekend.
It was just me, my anal-friendly sex toy, and syncing it to my FeelMe account to
watch FeelPorna videos. Thinking back on that weekend, I would like to have the same option for such a weekend with just as much of a gay selection to choose from.
However, I can't properly immerse myself in the interactive experience while watching a porn scene when I'm imagining I'm a bottom. But the video is programmed to work with an interactive masturbation sleeve like an Onyx+, instead of an internal toy.
Because while watching a scene (like one on FeelXVideos) where a Brazilian stud is laying his bottom on the beach, the toy I'm using anally, will get a signal when the top in the video is being sucked. But not when the bottom in the video is being rimmed. Thereby disrupting my interactive experience because I'm feeling sensations in areas and at times not coinciding with my fantasized role relating to the video.
This under-serving of the interactive sex toy-buying public is why when it comes to males, more internal anal-friendly interactive sex toys are purchased by webcam models instead of the general porn-viewing public.
I firmly believe that if more content is created for bottoms, then more bottoms would buy the anal-friendly toys. I'm sure I'm not alone in my plea. After all, males are visually stimulated creatures, and being a bottom doesn't make that any less of a fact than it is for a top.
So the sooner this is realized, the sooner even more male consumers, more bottoms will actively and proudly participate in experiencing interactive and VR porn.
And I have faith that it will happen.
