Danish ballet danseur CANNED - for doing gay erotica

[Ambivalent]

Hey,

I thought this would interest some of you: so here it is - the story of a talented gay danseur from Denmark, who lost his job in Canada, because he was curious about making gay erotic videos, and did so. And perhaps has ended his career in dance, because he engaged in this experiment - to explore his sexuality, and his love of art ~ albeit in a somewhat different form.

You know, it saddens me, that a Canadian ballet company would fire a dancer for this kind of exploration. But this kind of thing does happen to gay models in erotica, not only in ballet (of course) but in all walks of life. I am sure that many of you will have thoughts, comments, and feelings about what has happened to this guy. . . . as I do, also.

But I hope this story will also sensitize us to the risks that gay erotic-video models take, personally, to share what they do, with us. And I hope it will prompt all of us to treat all of our models with kindness, and reverence, for taking the risks to share what they do, with us.

I hope, ONE DAY, it will not be quite as it is, now - and that one day, people will see sexual expression as a good, beautiful, and wonderful thing - as they ought to do. And that there will be no stigma attached to exploring one's feelings, genuinely and artistically, with others.

But - till that day comes, it is incumbent upon us (I think) as a community, to care for and love our models (even the ones who are not our personal favourites - ESPECIALLY them!): with big hearts, open minds, and all the friendship and care we can give.

"A" XOXOXOXOXOXO

Well said Ambi. You're quite right. The models take risks in doing this line of work. We shouldn't overlook that fact.

Again, as always, why don't we just respect one another for who we are...with all our "colors?!"

Beth,

Bien sur. XOXOXOXOXOXO

I know a few budding dancers who have gone down the erotica route to help pay their debts during uni or dance school. Most of the dance schools are in London where it is not cheap to live.

I've always had great admiration for people who have the courage to follow their own path, whatever it may be, but especially when it's not a popular route. And, yes they need our support in any way we can give it to them, because marching to a different beat can feel soul freeing and even noble, but unfortunately it often comes with a truck load of negativity from less noble inspired people.

Baby steps...we are still a long way from reaching the ultimate destination, but people are noticing the travel arrangements and becoming more interested in the itinerary...so it's a start, and all great journeys begin somewhere...

i know the website he is on is not one of our bonus sites so i won't mention the name, but check it out and see his trailers.

Wow Robert. You like them young. haha

 

[mikeyank]

Thanks Robert. I may have to start watching ballet. He's a total hottie!

 

[mikeyank]

Wow Robert. You like them young. haha

Don't we all Tampa? After all, we are members of Broke Straight Boys and not broke straight men!

 

[tampa24]

True enough Mikey. I like young also. But...I also like mid to late 20's and 30's. For instance I liked the model Vinnie from the earliest Broke Straight Boys-2 vids. But he only had the one really good scene. The only other one he was in was the foot fetish vid with JJ. I really liked and joined Broke Straight Boys primarily because of the "first timer" straight guy premise. It just happens to be that they go with a younger crop of models. So I'm a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. haha

Feel free to share your pics, you "grinderboy!"

But as Broke Straight Boys goes back to April of 2006, I'm sure the market research, (hits, forum comments, private emails, twitter and the viewer "votes") shows that the most popular models and scenes are with the younger models 18-24 types, as those are the types we see over and over again, and perhaps that is the reason that Vinnie only did two scenes here.

At the end of the day, this is still a fetish site, featuring guys who are assumedly broke, straight and "boys".

Touche' Mikey! LOL

The stigma of sex work will not disappear as long as the judeo=christian hold on our minds remains strong and manipulative. Someday , when that breaks, we all might live in a better world.Imagine a world with no body image problems, no ageism, no homophobia, where we are all celebrated for the lovely souls we are and can all dance with each other in the light. Ah well, back to reality

 

[rrhill]

Dearest Tampa, sure, but I'm more into dark haired boys...

 

[tampa24]

You were born in the wrong country Robert being surrounded by all those hunky blonde haired, blue-eyed Teutonic knights. What torture! haha You should have been born in Italy. They have some of the most beautiful dark haired men that I've ever seen in one place. Outside of the U.S. of course. lol

Feel free to share your pics, you "grinderboy!"

Unlike some people on here, I respect other peoples pics and very rarely publish anyone's apart from my own. There are highly paid lawyers out there and I do not intend to be sued.
