14. I guess you've never seen much, because I assure you, there is plenty that does.
And the actors are willing and get paid, and there are many gay men, as there are many women, who enjoy submission or even outright masochism and it does not preclude them being strong and powerful people. The idea that women shouldn't enjoy being sexual beings (and thus any woman who would act in pornography would only be doing so because of coercion or financial hardship)is a boneheaded holdover from the caveman days when women were property and their enjoyment of sex didn't matter. I think the root of the distinction is that gay porn is made by gay men and both the intended audience and the actors in the scenes are gay men as well, whereas most heterosexual pornography is oriented towards a heterosexual man's ideal. However, there is no reason that a woman cannot enjoy watching two people have sex, and in fact a Google search of "porn for women" will reveal a bounty of pornography made by women for women. My point is that most people enjoy sexual fantasy and are mature enough to view it for what it is and there is nothing wrong with that.
