Amateur Porn

It wasn’t too long ago that I seduced two guys in a neighboring skyscraper in Manhattan. It was when Friends was still on the air, just around the time of the episode about a guy walking around naked in a building across from them. Not long after, I was staying at a hotel near Central Park when I spied two guys about 20 stories up in various states of undress. They noticed me and we ended up giving each other a double-feature show – with guys in neighboring windows as our audience.

Then, in a moment of recklessness, I wrote my room number with a big marker. They called and we chatted. Then they both came upstairs and we played around in person with the shades wide open to the world – or at least to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. My mystery men were pudgier, shorter and more pocked-marked than they had looked from across the courtyard, so the long-distance fantasy ending up being better than the in-person sex.

Today, the Internet offers tons of amateur sites filled with guys dedicated to showing off what’s in their pants. However, some of them are simply professional sites in disguise that make excuses for unattractive models by calling them “amateurs.” Others are run by professional webmasters who scout amateurs to photograph for their member sites.

Guys like to see other guys showing off. When they are taking showers in a gym, even straight guys like to share and compare. It’s a voyeuristic obsession — wanting to see what the other guy is packing and hoping you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Obviously, the most authentic amateur sites are the user-driven ones such as Rate My Dick, Rate My Cock, Rate Me Nude and Dick.net (formerly Rate-a-Rod), “The Social Network for your Penis.” They all have plenty of free cock on view — many with faces attached — but unfortunately there are more than a few faces that you’d probably prefer not to see.

Some of the best amateur guys can be found at Next Door Buddies, which features guys who want to be the next big porn star. There’s also the all amateur, all straight Next Door Male and Naked Guys Next Door.

Hot guys who surf the Net regularly for voyeuristic thrills are often encouraged to send in nasty self-portraits. You’ll find some amazing amateur sections at Juicy Goo, Amateur Straight Guys, and Sean Cody.

Virtual exhibitionism has become a global phenomenon, which means that you can now see hot, regular guys letting it all hang out in places as diverse as Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Russia, China, and just about anywhere that people have access to digital camera phones and the Internet.

As the amateur genre has grown in popularity, some amateur sites have spun off into specific sub-genres such as uniforms, muscle studs, stocky guys, college, fraternities, and skateboard punks.

Thanks to X Tube and Porno Tube, anyone with a cheap digital camera can now post impromptu videos of their buddies or themselves. At Dirty Boy Video you can watch clips of guys dropping trou and wacking off everywhere from subway platforms and adult bookstores to cars and public restrooms. You’ll also find tons of excellent stroke vids at Wank Off World, Amateur Cruisers and You Love Jack, which prides itself on providing the best self-made porn clips from guys just like you.

It’s fun to see guys in their very first solo clips, doing their first money shots. Sometimes it turns them on to film themselves and sometimes it’s a dare – but it’s always hot. A lot of that virgin splooge has been lovingly archived on sites such as Wank Vids, Amateur Gay Home Clips, and Newbies. Newbies has mostly girls, but if you dig deep enough you’ll find some scorching hot boners in the Male Whackers section, where they claim to receive over 800 amateur gay pic submissions a day.

First timers are also the focus at His First Gay Sex and All Real Guys. Guys are supposedly caught pleasuring themselves on Guys Caught Wanking, but it’s hard to believe because most of the masturbators seem pretty aware of the camera and the production quality is just a little too perfect.

Amateur porn and exhibitionism are two of the fastest growing genres on the Internet. It’s the ultimate reality show. Most of the more populat amateur sites now sell DVD’s, too — featuring compilations of their hottest submissions, as well as exclusive content not available anywhere else.

Although I can’t even remember the names of the Manhattan couple who provided me with my first amateur live show, it’s nice to know that there’s now an art exhibit dedicated to naked guys around New York and that the voyeuristic trend of amateurs in windows will continue as long as there are tall towers, big windows, and horny guys.
