Why would they even need to identify as feminist? I'd be interested in hearing the perspective of any male porn performer who's up for some honest talk about his work and his perspective. And I think there is some "behind the scenes" or beyond just porn talk interviews with male porn performers. I've seen Mr Marcus intervewed in one of Tristan Taorimino's videos and he comes across as a smart, well-spoken guy – I'd like to hear more from him. Also, the documentary "Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy" is quite good and goes a long way toward humanizing somebody who could be dismissed as a mere caricature.

I think the perspective of gay performers is something that's not heard nearly enough. The gay porn world is actually very large, though very segregated from the straight porn world.

As far as male prostitutes who service women – they're in a minority, but they do exist, and are pretty common in some places. In fact, heterosexual female sex tourism is actually a very widespread phenomenon.

Most male sex workers are hired by men, though, and its very interesting to contrast their position in the gay community and perception by the overall society with attitutes toward female sex workers. When Mike Jones outed Ted Haggard as his client, the media treatment of him in the press and in the blogosphere couldn't have been more different than the media treatment of Ashley Dupré . There was no rummaging through his background trying to paint him as a victim or shady character. And as much as the practically everybody left-of-center (myself included) hates Ted Haggard's guts, I don't recall anybody calling for him to be charged for procuring or as a reason to adopt Swedish-style laws against buying sex. This is definitely something I'll have to blog about more at length at some point.
