Is gay for pay a real thing?

Contributor: bdan bdan
I'm not try to be offensive. I just have a friend that was fooling around with a quote straight guy that was getting paid for his acts and called him gay for pay. So I want to know how people feel about it.

It's a term for male sex workers who identify as heterosexual in their day-to-day lives but have sex with other men to earn money. I've heard it used to describe men who perform in gay porn who are actually straight.

I had never heard of it. But this was a really progressively worded answer. :] Thanks for clearing it up.

What she said, although I've also seem it used to refer to any heterosexual sex worker who perform homosexual but is much more associated with the gay scene.

It's definitely a real thing, but you'll rarely see it unless you're somewhat close to the sex industry or really into porn. I've seen it in porn, stripping, and prostitution. It means a person who is normally straight that performs sex acts (or in the case of stripping, gets nude and does some booty shaking) with people of the same gender for money. Some will even advertise themselves as gay for pay for their audience that fetishes it. It also tends to get them more money :'P.

It seems to refer more to men who will perform for pay but it can also refer to straight females who will perform lesbian acts or dance in lesbian clubs for pay. There seems to be more of a stigma attached to men who are "gay for pay" but then that's to be expected when it is almost taken for granted that ALL women will perform girl/girl scenes in porn. I have heard from actual bi-sexual or lesbian actresses that they really don't like working with "gay for pay" females. I imagine it's the same for men.
