Dink Flamingo operates the gay porn site, http://www.activeduty.com
It was reported in the current issue of Details that Dink, a gay man, has been luring these guys with money to perform man sex in front of his cameras. Dink has been doing this for several years and until recently, was doing so very profitably, and under the radar of the U.S. Army.
Dink has a thing for "straight" soldiers which he freely admits to in the Details article. He goes further to say that these guys perform better sex with each other than gay men do together.
He says that these guys don't have role hangups. Either these guys aren't really "straight" or he has them high on some drug.
He tends to pick guys who desparately need the money. He pumps them up with words they like to hear. After all, these guys like to please, and obeying orders is something they do very well. So maybe Dink could be considered the best director ever or a really good con man.
But Dink is facing a temporary setback. Seven of his "actors" were identified by the Army as appearing on Dink's site. The latest news concerning one of them appears below:
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) -- An Army paratrooper pleaded guilty Thursday to engaging in sex acts on a military-themed gay pornographic Web site after a judge denied a request to dismiss the case.Pfc. Richard T. Ashley, one of seven members of the 82nd Airborne Division charged with appearing on the site, faces up to a year in prison, forfeiture of two-thirds pay for one year, reduction in rank and a bad conduct discharge.Ashley appeared calm in court Thursday, appearing with a military lawyer and a civilian lawyer. His family sat behind him in the courtroom as the judge questioned him about his plea.Ashley, Pfc. Wesley K. Mitten and Pvt. Kagen B. Mullen were charged with pandering, sodomy and wrongfully engaging in sexual acts over the Internet for money. Mitten and Mullen, who also faces adultery charges, have pleaded not guilty.
I for one would argue with Dink's observation. Gay men know what other men want and enjoy. Plain and simple. Those of us who truly love foreplay can make it as hot or hotter as any of these guys can. After all, they are role playing, whether Dink thinks so or not. They are being manipulated into having on camera sex. While it may be for some guys, great entertainment and fulfilling a fantasy, it's nothing like the real thing.

Dink's are some of my favorite movies.
I agree with you, Buff. Straight guys "performing" better is simply his own observation. He is turned on by it, so feels it's the best. I find the idea of going to bed with a straight guy exciting, but that's the fantasy of it. And when you start paying guys desparate for money, it feels like you are getting into a whole different scene there.
Right on Buff. Believe me, I bagged a 'straight' guy and tried having a monogamous 4 year relationship with him.
Four years of him wanting to be serviced and not wanting to touch me. Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
I've never understood the 'straight guy' fantasy myself. I'd rather have a gay man who knows what he wants and knows what he's doing. But that's just me.
(and thanks for visiting my blog, I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll be reading yours regulary now, we have similair viewpoints it would seem)
Straight men can be fun. I like the pretence :-)
Great Thoughts and Blog. Like it and will follow up.

Uh, let me just ask: if two "straight" boys have sex with each other and are really skilled at it, as mind-blowingly good aas this guy says they are, doesn't that indicate that they may not, in fact be straight at all? If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and fucks like a duck . . .
Steven Zeeland a gay author and yet another guy who likes sex with military guys has wirtten tons of books about all this...

The thing is there is nothing new about guys doing this stuff for money nor is the sex better. But... I have a funny feeling Dink got a little problem with commitment. He probably also likes paying for sex for the same reasons.
I tend to agree with Dink. I don't think any of it has to do with money. Sure, he pays them and so they do for him what they would do for someone else for free. I have experienced guys who associate as str8 who are better cocksuckers, better rimmers, better at submitting, and without drama. I have met gay men who can throw a woman a good fuk like she's never had in her life. I don't know why people are so stuck on labels gay or str8, when it seems like 99.99% of the population is bi. There aren't many mixed men/women sports teams, men drink with their male buddies, men rather socialize with other men than their wife, men do everything together - per the socially accepted norms - except have sex (but they do have the sex too, it's just kept quiet most of the time). Nother better for m/m good sexual action than a guy who is pushed to be macho all his life, or one who allows his creative nature take charge - in other words anyone can be a great sex partner, but not everyone finds their niche and not every set of two people are compatible sexually. I don't see a need to bash Dink or his opinions. He makes hot movies.
I just came across those movies and checked some out. I have to say they are hot and the sometimes uneasy behavior of the guys is really kinda sexy. but i don´t agree with the fact that they have better sex. and i agree with the labels. i am from europe and i am in florida/fort lauderdale quiet often. and being one of americas capitals with gay men/couple i have to say i prefer straight. to much acting, to much "i am gay and i am proud of it" and this whole bullshit. i prefer being a man who likes to fuck with men, without adopting the whole rainbowflag bullshit. if we stop thinking in boxes thinks will get much better. i am sorry that this mr. flamingo (very straigth name b.t.w) thinks he has to part the male sexuality just a little bit more. But at the end he tries or is making a living with it, and he does what he seems to like best. watching handsome americans who ought to be straight fucking each other. so get it on!
My impression of commercial gay porn is that it is almost always astonishingly boring. From what I've seen, almost all the participants hate cum and make awful faces when any shows up. Others think they are most attractive to men when they act and look like women; perhaps that is true, but it seems to beg the question. Granted, there are vids of aging trailer park trash that might not be as lame as I have described here, but then I would be more inclined to pay them to cover themselves than to watch them.
Blow jobs in gay porn are almost always disappointing. The fucking is mechanical, tedious. The routines are so repetitive, the performers so bored, that I wonder that anyone went to the trouble to record any of it. Some of the European videos, and perhaps some of the U. S. ones as well, seem to strive to show the performers so bored with one-another that they spend most of their time looking at the camera. I guess either someone thinks that is appealing or has simply given up on the whole pretense of capturing sexual excitement.
Some of the amateur stuff is better, and the Dink Flamingo stuff I have seen appears to have participants who are much less robotic than the usual crap out there. The amateur vids have more potential for interest than, say, anything from Falcon, Bel Ami and similar studios where the set design seems to take precedence over any of the sexual material.
Another oddity of camera work and editing in gay porn is that the dick seems often to be considered of little interest. Long shots are typical, with dick shots held for only a second or two. Much of that time, at least in the case of blow jobs, the dick is blocked by the blower's hand, which then ends up getting most of the screen time. When giving a blow job, does the dick need to be held constantly? Perhaps the dicks are limp and need the support.
Those guys aren't really heterosexual they're all bisexual and just identify as het so the videos sell.
