Hi Denner,
that's just another way of living out sexuality and I agree that this is not my cup of tea but why shouldn't these sites not being featured at TBP? I'd say the huge amount of gay sites newly listed is because these have been overseen in the past. No need for me to worry about that as you can always suggest sites not being listed to be entered into the database and that's what the people at TBP did with my two last suggestions. Thanks for that!
I will for sure come up with stuff that annoys others but that's because I like mature fetish ladies and most of the European or German sites are not yet listed. Stay tuned for more smut to come :-)
Cheers,
Smut

Hey Smut
I was pretty uncertain about this - but placed it anyway.
My point is that MAYBE there could be a gay part and a hetero/straight part for TBP........and of course gay people or gay sites should not be excluded in general.
It could be easier for both parts to browse.

Hello Denner,
but isn't gay already a top-level niche at TBP?
It may be that I misunderstand you which could arise from the fact that I should be in bed since hours. So I'll shut down my PC and try to get some sleep.
Bye 4 now,
Smut

I think it may be a case of running out of new sites to review. Sometimes I wonder where they find some of these sites.

While I don't actually browse for gay porn - I think the categorization of Gay Porn is already too segregated. If you look at nearly any Heterosexual or Lesbian (just to point out that by "Gay Porn" I mean Male/Male) that is listed on "The Best Porn" it has a main category and then two secondary categories. The gay sites have no secondary listings and are all stuck in the main "Gay Porn" category. Therefore if you are browsing any Niche other than "Gay Porn" you will never run across a Gay site - which is silliness in my opinion. Each site should get two secondary categories too.
With a quick glance at The Best Porn's "Gay Porn" category - I saw that some of the sites were standard DVD sites, others were solo models, and so on. Lumping them all together is a disservice to any users hunting for Gay Porn - I mean they have to sort through 1300 sites! When they might be looking for glamour photography or whatever. I think we can all read just fine and any experienced porn user will be able to recognize a gay porn site from a mile away, so there is no need to shove them off in some little corner by themselves.
So I guess I'm voting for the exact opposite, lol - Gay Porn is just as mainstream as Lesbian or Heterosexual porn, we should start treating it as such. An interesting coffee table book I have is "XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits" by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Gore Vidal. It features photos of 30 of the most influential porn-stars (according to the authors) photographed both clothed and nude, and many interviewed - quite a few of the stars are male gay porn stars - I'm just saying that Gay Porn is too large and too diverse to be ignored as a small fetish niche these days. If people want a color coding scheme, I guess that would be fine - or even make it an account setting - you can tell the site if you want to exclude certain niches (maybe you don't want to see BBW sites either, who knows? it would be your choice). So offer the users everything, and let them decided to look at what they want to.
Cheers!

REPLY TO #5 - Toadsith :
I see your point - no problem. Hoped for some debate on the matter, so thats great.
What struck me was, that almost half of the sites in New Listings have been gay lately - maybe a coincidence. In that context I found it a bit odd because some 99% of all reviews are in some way hetero...so maybe most PU's would like to see more non-gay sites in New Listing.

REPLY TO #6 - Denner :
On the added New Sites - I've actually see TBP go through pulses like that before - I'm guessing that the rate that new sites are added to their database is hardly random. Probably something brought it to their attention that they missed a bunch of this or that style of site. On the other hand, Humans are expert pattern recognizers so any apparent pattern will show up very fast - sometimes even if it isn't there (that's why it can be easy to see faces in tree bark or shapes in clouds).

Hey, Bro - splendid reply, thanks.....I also think about an earlier reply to the same matter from our fellow PU, jd1961:
"I think it may be a case of running out of new sites to review. Sometimes I wonder where they find some of these sites."
Cheers, mate.
