(Though sometimes it does look more like an endurance test or another assault course than intercourse.)Īnd, contrary to much of the coverage the story received, they’re not ‘gays in the military’ many if not most of them are straight-identified, some with wives and kids. What’s more, they usually do it with cheeky grins and gosh-darn dude-ness. The guys in ActiveDuty are videos are impressively versatile, frequently taking on almost any challenge. No ‘tops and bottoms’ sissy role-play for them. With ‘stirring’ titles such as ‘Battle Buddies’, ‘Tour of Duty’, ‘Rear March’ and ‘Band of Lovers’, not only do they offer the online voyeur athletic young military guys with military tattoos and military demeanour who actually look the part, but, manfully, they frequently do everything.

It’s my first time in porn, my first time with two paratroopers, straight or otherwise. “You mean it gets bigger dude?” asks Jason, with a forgiving wink and a smile, proving, to my mind at least, that he most definitely isn’t gay. “I’m sorry about this lads” I say, gesturing to my semi, “I’m a bit nervous”. And they’re much more ‘up’ for this than I am. I am on a bed wedged between not one but two naked fit cute, and ostensibly straight American soldiers in their early twenties – “Jason” and “Carl” – who are being very friendly indeed. But then, this is a rather odd situation. It’s an odd question for me to be asked by a straight paratrooper who is trying to fluff me. “Is this your first time with a guy?” asks Jason solicitously in his Tennessee burr.
