Male Call
Who says girls get to have all the fun? That just isn’t so. A recent piece by sociologist Dr. Chauntelle contemplated the state of male performers in porn today and opened with the provocative (but not altogether untrue) line, “No one pays attention to the guys in porn.” So we’ve decided to give you a quick cross-section of some of the industry’s top male talent and a chance to name your favorite male pornstars in the comments!
