What are the biggies?

[MrJD]

What niches in the gay market are the bigger ones? Like say... top 5 traffic/demand wise.

[tombarr]

I'd chime in and say, Twink, Amateur, Straight Goes Gay, Bareback... but that's only 4... :)

amateur like... homemade porn or like first timer style

isn't bareback sort of a hot/controversial topic?

[abostonboy]

BB is controversial.

Amateur as in like BlakeMason, SeanCody, CorbinFisher.

Bear is bigger than people think. It sells really well. Bear/older men.

+ bear.

I'd say those are the top 5.

Is 'bareback' really a niche? I mean you can have 'bareback' in twink in bear, in amateur, so would it really be fair to call it a niche?

Good point.

could be that the scene focuses on the fact that theres no rubbers. Sorta like how almost all scenes end with a cumshot of some sort but there's a "cum" niche and more emphasis is put on the money shot versus a normal scene ::shrugs::

[abostonboy]

Assuming you don't want to do bb. I would take a guess and say jocks/muscle is big. Uncut is big as well (though that covers multiple niches as well). Seriously, I think uncut carries a lot of weight as far as traffic/sales go. Look at latino (uncut), European (uncut), asian (uncut), the list goes on. Uncut is a niche that I have done well in. Hung is big as well. (no pun intended)

True, but 'cum' niches are nothing but that, you don't generally see a lot of stroking or other action, just the final result, so that would make sense to be a niche. I think 'bareback' and 'safer sex' are more styles, than actual niches, but hell, not like I know. ;)

good point about the 'style'

[MrJD]

So does everyone agree that these are the top5? Anyone else care to throw in their 2cents?

amateur
jocks/muscle
twinks
straight guys
bears

p.s. we need a 2cents smiley :)

Twink

Amateur

Bears

Probably twink first.
