We can cheer “Bottoms Up!” at our last drink of the year. But we can also cheer the same way to celebrate one of our favorite porn trends. Welcome to another issue of 2020 PINGA’S JOYS.
Versatility is the New Normal
Many think it is another example of what came first, the chicken or the egg. However, the relationship between porn and culture is clear for this blogger.
In our opinion, no trends have started on a stage. “Bottoms Up” is not an exception. Porn mirrors reality and not vice versa. Therefore, when we are pointing to the trend towards versatility in porn, it is clear that we are also pointing to changes in the broader culture.
Decades of reflection on human sexuality have led to a significant degree of awareness. I do not mean that there is not a long way to go, however never before had we reached our current level of understanding of human sexuality as a social construction. Particularly, decades of questioning mainstream heteronormativity in homosexual relationships have shaken traditional, rigid roles. Rigidness and Polarity are now replaced by Fluidity and Versatility.
Although I am an “only top” dinosaur, I bare no pride but rather live it as a disability. But I am almost 60, a left over from other era. We do not dare to state that all younger generations are beyond rigid sexual roles, but the trend towards versatility is evident.
Goodbye Tops Privilege
One of the many heteronormative devices operating in homosexual relationships is Tops Privilege. Actually, when we were brainstorming this post, one of the headlines we considered was “The End of Tops Privilege”.
As the idea of Top Privilege may not be self evident for some readers, allow me a brief illustration. Tops Privilege is the reflection of Machism in Heterosexual mainstream culture. All the privileges attached to Males in Hetersosexuality, are precisely transferred to Tops in Homosexuality. Imagine a situation where the bottom is to please the top, and the top to please himself.
By the beginning of 2020, we even had some controversy in the industry. Several bottom performers denounced discriminatory practices favoring top performers. Evidently, we are not saying that Tops Privilege has ended. Indeed, it is still strong and alive in mainstream as well as in porn culture.
We are pointing to the weakening of those privileges. We are celebrating and welcoming the fluidity and versatility that is slowly replacing traditional, rigid heteronormative models. Bottoms Up! is not branding any particular event, but greeting an on going process.
Despite Bottoms Up!, Top is still King
These are all facts. The current most popular gay porn star is only top. There are nowadays porn performers denouncing Tops privilege in the industry. Take a look at most porn websites and Porn Twitter and the ubiquity of Tops Supremacy and Bottoms submission and humiliation is evident.
Once again, we are not pointing to a rupture. There is no before and after. The “Bottoms Up” trend has been evolving for many years. Tops Supremacy may be indefensible, but Tops Privilege will last for many years more while is slowly replaced by Versatility.
As an illustration, look closely to the current most popular gay porn star. Certainly, Rhyheim Shabazz performs only as a top in front of the cameras. However, what kind of Top is he? Is he a self centered lover or is he driven to please and to seduce his bottom partners?
Perhaps, kissing is the best illustration. Kissing is an equalizing practice where there is no top and bottom, where both lovers are on the same level. Is Rhyheim the kind of top who does not kiss and only bangs like a machine his partners holes?
You know the answers. Although Tops are still the Kings, Bottoms now are also Royalty. Still unfair, but yet a step in the right direction.
Bottoms Up!
Before bringing some master bottom performers, allow me a disclaimer. When we blog about porn, we are not talking about the performers’ private lives. We do not know, and it is not our business, whether or not a performer does in front of the camera the same as in the privacy of his bedroom.
As an extra illustration of Tops privilege’s unfairness, let’s remember the tribulations involved with bottoming. Despite all the risks and preparation required by bottoming, tops are being over estimated and over paid. That is why many performers refuse bottoming in porn and escorting. Not because they do not like it, but because it is under appreciated.
Always remember that what we see is a show. Do not make assumptions about the performers out of the screen lives. You may be surprised.
And now, Bottoms Up!
Pupcore
Unapologetically and voraciously versatile, Pupcore is one of our favorite performers of 2020. Probably. Flavaworks is getting ready to come back after the pandemic. Having this boy as their exclusive model, they are playing with advantage. Join his OnlyFans while we wait. His independent production is appealing, but his best work has come from the studios.
Caged Jock, beyond Bottoms Up!
Beyond a Power Bottom, Caged Jock is an Alpha Bottom. This porn super star has always been above traditional roles and stereotypes. Being a New York City resident, the pandemic has not treated him well. However, he still figure it out how to not shine less during 2020. Caged Jock Links.
Porfi
Indeed, if you look at this clip you may think it is not a good illustration for Bottoms Up! However, that is only because it is taken out of its context. Although I would not say that Porfi is an Alpha, he is a master Power Bottom. If you watch the whole movie, if you follow his collaborations, you know there is nothing humiliating or diminishing in Porfi’s voracity to submit. Join his OnlyFans.
Jimmy West
In the same way that Porfi’s voracity overcomes any perception of humiliation, Jimmy’s devotion removed him of any diminishing equation. Where Porfi seems to want more, Jimmy seems to fully sink into the moment. We find this boy specially inspiring, certainly. Join his JustForFans.
Italo Andrade and Elijah Zayne
We place these two performers together because they both are in a special category. They are two of the most promising adult entertainment talents nowadays.
Elijah stands out with his impressive physical assets and his Developed World assertiveness. There are abundant examples of his versatile talents, join his OnlyFans if you do not believe me.
Italo is following an unusual path. Unlike most stars, he is switching his profile from only bottom to versatile. We always knew he is a geisha able to perform outstandingly in any sexual role or situation. Join his OnlyFans.
Krave Melanin and Jay Rider
Krave Melanine has been one of our favorite performers of all times for a long time. He is just perfect to us. Unlike Italo, he has follow the usual path, the same one XL followed before him. Originally a strict top on the screens, he slowly started to bottom for his audience.
His best performances came from his collaborations with Sexual Rider Jay. These two performers have a stormy romantic history, so we do not know what the status of their relationship is when you are reading these words. Hopefully, they are together, because they are happy together and also make us happy. Very happy. You can join Krave’s JustForFans or Jay’s JustForFans.
Armani Flex
Armani is another of these new generations lovers, beyond roles and labels. We are trying to figure out whether or not we can legally adopt him. My God, he is hot. Join his OnlyFans.
Max Avila
Max Avila, like Caged Jock, is another example of Alpha Bottom animal. He seems to be always in control. On one hand, the pandemic has blocked us from traveling to Medellin, because this man deserves the trip we were planning. On the other hand, the crisis has forced him to stop working for the studios. Instead, he has been focusing on his independent production and updating his OnlyFans frequently.
Boomer Banks
Boomer Banks is not only a classic superstar, but also a pioneer on questioning traditional roles. He has been one of the most outspoken big names in the industry pushing for a more open minded and inclusive culture. We can join his OnlyFans.
Judas King
Despite being a young performer, Judas also started his career as an only top performer. As an illustration, the clip above is documenting the first time he play with his ass in front of the camera. Evidently, we can tell he has been working our hard all this time. He can now take things much better than that tiny thin dildo.
From that inexpert adult entertainer experimenting with bottoming to nowadays he has gone a long way. Interestingly, his growing is documented. Join his OnlyFans, and see it for yourself.
Bottoms Up! For Ever
Lately, it is raining Power and Alpha Bottoms. In spite of our jokes and our headlines, what we are celebrating is not the ascension of bottoming in our culture. Of course, we are glad that bottoming is more accepted, acceptable, and enjoyable. Of course, we welcome the weakening of Top Supremacy and Privilege. Nevertheless, what we celebrate the most is the advent of Versatility as a norm.
The number of new versatile talented performers is just overwhelming. A thorough report would be an impossible task. These few hotties here are only some of the artists who stand out the most to me. There are many, many more, though. Perhaps, you want to add you own by the bottom of the page.
Certainly, dinosaurs like myself will struggle, but the challenge is worthy. Furthermore, I am still alive. Who knows, perhaps I could follow the steps of so many porn stars.
