“There are quite a few gay porn companies that play off racial stereotypes,” says Zevran, who won the 2017 Xbiz Gay Performer of the Year Award. In other words, racism in gay porn isn’t a direct response to current events - it’s part of the very fabric of our pornographic culture. GayPatrol could be interpreted as a darkly cynical pornographic parody of race relations between law enforcement and Americans of color in the past few years, but according to the site’s legal fine print, “The images contained on this site were published, republished, reproduced or reissued between Novemand January 16, 2009.” So we get porn sites like, where “power hungry and horny cops take control of our black population and fuck them” - literally, graphically, and often after simulated police brutality, complete with racial slurs. “In porn, there are a lot of things going on that would be morally reprehensible in reality, but they appeal to people’s fantasies, and that’s what porn is all about,” Zevran says. But that can mean getting into some really slippery moral territory. Racial themes and interracial pairings in porn are nothing new, and they may be serving a need for people who find them arousing.Ĭontent that satisfies depraved demands is porn producers’ bread and butter, and it’s profitable to err on the side of fantasies that are subversive enough to titillate a consumer into paying to see them. Of course, sexual fantasy is often politically incorrect - force, incest, “teen” porn, bestiality, and the like are all relatively common fantasy themes - and the taboos around racial difference make race play an incredibly popular element of America’s sexual id. These two models perform with both black and white scene partners, but their “offensive ink” (as the site calls it), and the rebel flag that presides over their scenes, leave viewers with an overall impression of white supremacy in lurid action. In 2015, model Jarvis began making appearances on the site, with a close-shaved head and a large black swastika tattoo on his back.
That same year, a new model named Eric appeared, sporting a large swastika tattoo on his stomach. Then, in early 2014, a large Confederate flag appeared on the wall over the most frequently used bed on set. The site started out as a simple amateur gay porn site back in 2012 filming “gay-for-pay” amateurs of many races who claimed to be straight but curious. Racism is still alive and well in America, as we've all seen with the recent events in Charlottesville, but another place where racism seems to be thriving is gay porn.
