Then there's Sean Cody. One of the most popular internet-based adult video studios to date. With almost 1,000 videos to chose from, the visual selection has dwindled from diverse to "college guys;" a term that has, as of late, been used as a more pallatable way of saying "in-shape white guys." If you so choose, you can scroll waaay back in the SC archives and discover that YES, at one point there were actually people of other ethnicities jerking off for him and they were pretty attractive...but then again here's my question:

Should the Adult Entertainment Industry be seeking to become more diverse or because of the "every man has a fantasy" angle, should they be allowed to commit such discrimination?
Personally, I'm against discrimination in any shape or form. However from personal experience, AE is a business, and management isn't near as concerned with discrimination as it is with what sells. You point out the change at Sean Cody (diverse to "college guys). After working for nearly 10 years as a male stripper, I got out in my early 30's realizing that it couldn't continue forever and that if I didn't leave and change careers, the only path ahead would probably be escorting mixed with drugs and/or alcohol. As a sex worker, youth always seems to trump experience and skill, irrespective of color. Where's Rush going to be 10 years from now? Following in the footsteps of Tom Chase or Carlos Morales?

As a male stripper, I never noticed that my brown or tan skinned comrades seemed to be in less demand but as I aged, the new "kids on the pole" seemed to fare better.
