Female-to-Male Transsexuals Need Love, Too
YNOT – Male-to-female transsexuals have established a thriving presence in the adult entertainment industry. Adult content starring female-to-male transsexuals, however, is nowhere near as easy to find.
FTM performer-director James Darling and TROUBLEfilms are trying to change that with the launch of FTMFucker.com. Darling said the new site is one of the first to feature gay porn, straight porn and queer porn starring at least one trans man in every scene.
“Trans men being seen as erotic beings is a relatively new phenomenon, and I’m proud to be a part,” said Darling, who was named Heartthrob of the Year by the 2012 Feminist Porn Awards. “This is only the beginning.”
FTM Fucker offers exclusive content including hardcore, high-definition video and downloadable high-resolution photo galleries. Darling updates the site with new material once a week. The site is hosted by TROUBLEfilms, a genre-bending studio that also offers work from queer porn directors like Courtney Trouble (Live Sex Show, Fuckstyles) and Tobi Hill-Meyer (Doing It Ourselves, Genderfellator).
“With IndiePornRevolution.com being one of the first porn sites to feature trans men 10 years ago, branching out into a site that specifically highlights FTM performers is the logical next step,” said Trouble, who owns TROUBLEfilms. “FTM porn may be the first genre of its kind to be defined by and for the performers highlighted. Giving trans men the opportunity to film their own sex lives, define their sexualities and work in the adult industry on their own terms sets a standard for other genres to follow suit.
“James Darling is an incredible porn director and will take this industry by storm—TROUBLEfilms is just lucky to be on board,” she added.
For his part, Darling is happy to be a standard-bearer.
“Trans men have a special chance to define our own language and terms, how we are spoken about and marketed in porn, because it is a blossoming, exciting new niche in the adult industry,” he said. “This launch marks an exciting new era. There has been a lack of porn featuring trans men for a long time, and now there’s FTM Fucker.”
The site offers an affiliate program that pays a 30- to 50-percent recurring revenue share.
