I totally agree. Why have such a log spiel at the start of the site anyway, it's the content that counts. She's alienating a huge part of the market by categorising her customers. I, like a lot of gay guys, enjoy the odd bit of straight porn. And it always angers me that straight people equate effeminate with gay, and also judge being effeminate as something which is somehow inferior... Well picked up mate!

Plainly not all gay men are effeminate but if you like the idea of the site I suspect her views are probably no less unpalatable than the majority of people who makes adult sites.

What I don't get is why, given her stand point, there are pictures of men on the front page of the tour in what look to me to be effiminate poses. Particularly Brad.

I probably did over-react a little to be honest, I'm not normally sensitive or particularly politically correct. I just think she could have said the same thing in a nicer way - I posted the comment quickly after I'd just seen it was still kinda shocked.

Still, whether she likes it or not I know a lot of customers for "for women" sites are actually gay men so I don't think it's a good business plan - I just think there's better ways of putting things but hey nobody's perfect. I am sure some gay sites aren't very welcoming to women either and I probably don't even notice!

perhaps she didn't intend it as a slight and more as a statement of purpose for her site. I agree she doesn't sound very welcoming, especially to a group that I would think account for a rather large percentage of her clientele, but maybe she just intended it as a warning of sorts for potential customers.

Not such a nice site!

I checked this site out of curiousity but I was very unhappy with the comments the site owner makes in the introduction. She makes the very fair point that few sites are there for heterosexual women, and that what gay men may want in a site will differ from what heterosexual women want, but then goes on to say

"I don�t want to see the models in effeminate �come take me� poses - I want to see them being strong, masculine, MEN"

Well, I want to see strong masculine MEN too - and a gay man can be both. I resent the implication that gay sites are "effeminate" and the guys pose in "come take me" ways - maybe some sites are like that, but not all.

I don't see why she can't make her point without making insulting comments like that. It isn't gay men's fault we're well catered for and straight women aren't - more gay men take the trouble to produce gay sites even though there are way less gay men than heterosexual women in the world!

I wouldn't join this site on principle - and I guess I'm not welcome anyway - some heterosexual women do join gay sites and some gay men join sites like this, and I don't see why either should be made to feel uncomfortable. At least gay sites do provide some extra material for women even if they aren't specifically aimed at them. Plenty of other sites designed for women don't make comments like this and welcome all customers.

Good for her for putting her money where her mouth is and making this site, but you can say it's aimed at heterosexual women and not gay men without insulting us in the process. I bet some of her models are gay - many male models are and do both types of work! It amuses me that PU puts it under "for women" and "gay porn" - I don't think the site owner would appreciate the second categorisation!
