For porn actors there’s a lot more money in gay porn.  It’s not even close.  A lot of heterosexual actors will go “gay for pay” because it’s so lucrative.  Thanks to pills and injections, they can perform as normal even if they’re not aroused in the least.

That being said, I doubt that is what’s going on here.

Gay for pay is a thing of the past these days, most guys who are gay porn stars are bi or gay. Most of the "curious straight guy" videos and such are lies to fit a fetish niche using gay porn actors. The pills and injections are thing to keep up with extending shoots bit are mainly a thing for circuit parties these days for guys to keep up with fucking without ending up fucked out or avoid whiskey/meth dick.

Used to work in a porn store and every now and then I’d notice one of those “curious straight guys” on the cover of a movie, then you’d also see him on your standard “nope I’m totally gay and like fucking dudes” movies. And I’d put the two movies next to each other for my own amusement.

Yeah, I don’t really keep up with the scene, I just remember watching a Louis Théroux doc a few years ago where they had straight actors, before a scene with another man, just stressing out and trying to psych themselves up because they felt that doing gay porn was pretty much rock bottom for them, even though they got paid a lot more.  Also, I remember reading that Peter North, who is straight, had done gay for pay, but he was a total pro so it was probably just another job for him.
