I just ordered Dick Ho : Asian Male Porn Star… directed by Jeffery Lei. (http://www.idontcarefilms.com/dickho/)
It arrived in the mail the day before yesterday, however I want to watch it with Shawn.

There are a number of Asian porn actors in gay male films, but virtually zero in heterosexual porn. This movie is based on this fact. I say “virtually zero” because I literally don’t even know if there is a single actor out there. (Helllloooooo helllloooooo…. hellloooooo… echooooo) Are You Out There?

For me, I’m curious because I don’t identify entirely as female. Nor do I male, however sometimes I feel more male than female. Definitely genderqueer. I know of some dyke and trans amateur porn stars out there, many of whom are Hapa (mixed race). Some female actresses are quite famous and are mixed. Tera Patrick is probably the biggest of these names. However in terms of gender, Pink & White Productions probably has the most queerest of the Asian and mixed Asian stars around.

I’m just musing around ideas for a deeper conversation I want to start about why it is that it is so rare to see Asian men on camera, and how this influences trans or genderqueer stars who identify on the masculine spectrum. Is it that there are so few role models? Does my involvement make me a role model? Ten years ago, there was a director by the name of Christoper Lee. I found in a sale bin at Good Vibrations, a VHS tape called Sex Flesh in Blood. It featured all performers of color, as well as the director himself, a trans asian male. Lee gave a voice — a strong sexual and visual voice showing trans guys sucking off, and fucking hardcore both femaled-bodied stars, themselves, and biologically born males, and really set the stage for a future of pornographers.

However, does our community remember him? This was in the late 90′s, where is Christopher today?
I wonder if he would team up with Shine? More questions… I’ll let you know what I thought of Dick Ho as soon as I can wrangle my viewing buddy to join me. In the meantime, enjoy this trailer.
