Am I the only one sick of Muscle-guys overtaking the Bear-"community"/porns?
-
It has gotten to the point finding GENUINELY bearded (no, not so trim they are welcome at country-clubs…), hairy and chunky guys in Bear porn-films is a true rarity - instead it is almost always musclebound hunks that are blatantly NOT into Bears but twinks & hunks. WTF? Are they THAT desperate to keep their own careers going or is it in fact the studios releasing these films trying to make a quick buck by fooling Bears :cry2:?
-
I agree.The only studio that ever came close to producing great bear stuff was Manhunter video.R.I.P. The worst stuff seems to come from the likes of Falcon ect…muscle guys with trim beards and an assortment of spray on tans.YEUCH!

I think that is happening because a lot of actors that usually did hunk/twink porn, as they go old their bodies change enough to kinda fit in the bear category, and probably because they lost their appeal in the other category they change to a category they can cater more to.
Asides from that, I don't think the only problem is muscle guys overtaking the bear community, is more the lack of quality of the studios lately. I used to really like Bearfilms, Hairy and Raw, and other studios. But if you look at their newest videos, they only use the same couple actors (even between studios, the actors are the same), or they go for guys that aren't even considered bears, or simply unattractive guys (at least for porn stands, or my stands).
Idk if there aren't many people wanting to do porn nowadays, or whatever other reason, but it's clear the diminishing quality of most studios those days.

That's the thing, though: I couldn't agree LESS that they "fit" the bear category - they are just desperate to keep going, so they figure that they can "fit" in the bear category (when they lack facial hair, body hair, a belly on them, etc.) because their self-esteem has lowered - they always insulted these types of guys, and since they cannot get work in the "pretty-boy" category anymore…....

No, you are not! It's really, really annoying!

Thank you guys - I have expressed this before elsewhere & been told I need to "just shut-up". :balls2:

I know, though I like some of them (Brad Kalvo). My kind of guys in porn are like the ones from "the guy site" (Marcelo) but their action is simply boring.
Marcelo is the one in the pic below.

The guys used in Bearflims these days are just plain ugly.I used to like XXXL,and P.R. Simon stuff,but both have gone. Every now and again' The Guy Site' of all places have a nice guy,in particular Jared and Chance(when he's not too toned and doesn't shave his body hair!),but they don't appear that often. I find better looking guys on the webcam sites nowadays like Cam4 and Chaturbate than in porn.
-
Even WorkingmenXXX ("Hobofoot") has started using clean-shaven, svelt married guys as opposed to the guys that they used-to (Truckers, Bikers & Homeless)
-
To be honest, anymore to find hot bear stuff, I turn to xtube. There are tons of sexy amateur REAL bears there. Someone mentioned Manhunter….boy howdy they had some good stuff.

Nice to see others chiming in on this.
When I first discovered bear porn in the late 90s/early 2000s it seemed like most of what I encountered matched my tastes. It was truly refreshing because I did not realize until then that there were guys like me into ordinary men. In fact, I did not consider myself gay up until that point because all of the gay men I saw were the exact opposite of myself or what I found attractive.
A similar thing is happening in the "daddy" genre. So many videos are coming out lately with "daddies" in their late 30s/early 40s — at least that's what they look like.

I agree with all this, I like proper musclebears too but generally it's mostly hunks who are called bears just because they've run out of shaving cream for the week. At best, it's re-branding of the usual porn type with a designed beard.
I've also noticed the decline with bearfilms etc. A while ago I thought hairy and raw was about to change its name to simply "and raw"
but I did enjoy their latest video (chris/sam).
You can't help but wander among different studios and porn sites and cam sites…p.s. Marcelo from theguysite is the best :clap2:

actually, yes. he's so fucking adorable, and i want to do many things to him while he moans like a bitch.
anyway,
i don't mind muscle-guys "taking over", since a lot of them are way too sexy for me to care, but for the integrity of the community i find that it's nice to stay true to the original model. but it's not bad to keep the definition open. it kind of angered me to see a definition of the bear community be something SUPER vague like "being a bear isn't much of a body-type, but rather a mindset".
being a bear is completely dependent on body type. -

being a bear is completely dependent on body type.At THAT point, it has been simply "dissolved" into the twink "community"
-
Well, we never put into question whether the muscle guys are hot or not. They can be REALLY hot. But unless they are muscle-BEARS, they are not bears… there's already the hunk category for them! It's annoying when people start calling any guy a bear.

I generally prefer Otters.
The earlier days of the Bear community in Toronto was pretty shamanistic - a lot of the guys were coming out of the Radical Faeries and there's a big 'Native American' contingent in the Toronto gay community. There were Bear Feasts focused on food made of berries and/or honey. People did drumming and talked about their spiritual connection to Bear totems. I would say that being a bear needed more than having a hairy and non-sculpted body - there were attitudes toward masculinity and pleasure that were outside diets and gyms.A 35+ Gym Rat who can't seem to lose that last 10 lbs of body fat is pretty far away from what I'd consider to be the essence of being a Bear.

Agreed. But it's only a matter of time/taste/etc, don't you think so?
