On a recent Disability After Dark Andrew Gurza (aka Flash Wellington) talks about his longing to do porn. Part of that longing comes from his push for representation – there are no visibly disabled porn ‘stars’ that he knows of. He also discusses the logistics of his performing in porn: personal care assistants, physical limitations etc. Very logical thinking. Would I watch such gay porn? Probably but mainly because I follow Andrew’s podcast.
It would also depend on the main drawing power of porn, for most men, which is the size of the dick. As for representation anything outside of the hairless white twink is considered fetish or niche – wait, it has now become – the hairless, but tattooed, white twink, with a sizeable dick. It seems that though the camera adds pounds, it does not add inches.
Without boring anyone with my own personal preferences I will 
admit that I have over the years explored porn options. Of course what is now available thanks to the Internet was often unheard of when I was first seeking any sort of gay stimulation. Most of it was illegal in Canada in the day & those rules changed from province to province as well. At one time what was legal in Quebec could get you jailed in Ontario. Friends smuggled porn in spare tires when they returned from trips to the USA. The Internet changed that. In the days of limited access, representation wasn’t an issue.
Andrew already has his porn actor name ‘Flash Wellington.’ A good start on his career 🙂 I’d certainly throw some $ into a patreon call for support to get him into porn. But he’s in for a somewhat rude awakening as to his fantasy of the camaraderie. The social context is as workplace as technical as a hospital & sometimes as clinical.

one of the great feast days in our village
was Founders Day
when we would be forced to recite
the saga of Mikke Nordstrom
the first human to set foot on this land
from where he had come remains unknown
all we have is the birch bark
on which he wrote in moose blood
‘I Mikke Nordstrom do hereby establish
a village on this spot’
he built the first trading post strip joint
from that quickly sprouted
what we know as our village today
to celebrate there would be reenactments
of his writing the proclamation
every one of the villagers
had to write it out a hundred times
then bring it to the bishop for certification
we couldn’t start the celebration
till this had been done
after that
would be the cleansing of the pudding
followed by the washing
of the 10,001 steps of the cathedral
this washing had to be done in silence
the only sound was the brush of moose hide
as the steps were polished by the village virgins
once they reached the top
the combined choir would sing
‘our moose in thee we are strong’
‘smelts be praise to God’
my mother always cried at this point
as she stood up to survey the streets
filled with proud citizens
after the silence was broken by our jubilant songs
there would be green apple pies to be eaten
cats to be annoyed
boys would be sent to the Whistling Woods
to lead the lost men
back to the village square
to be washed and have their wounds tended
sometimes these reclaimed men
would return to their families
some would slink back to the Woods
preferring the cold shelter of moose bones
to being a part of society
in the evening the fathers would gather
to tell us of the great wars
of how our village
had helped change the course of reality
once night was fully upon us
we would fumble through the dark streets
to the strip joints to relax
as the women danced on the unlit stage
in the morning there would be gifts
tokens of our village’s proud heritage
usually small aluminum amulets
with the face of Mikke Nordstrom
embossed on one side
and the village motto
colpejar als pobres ‘beat up the poor’
inscribed on the other

Hi TOpoet!
Myke The Mazzerotti here. This was one of the all-round most enjoyable-to-read posts of yours to date. Thank you for sharing thoughts, insights, personal histories, and, afterwards, such creative exploits as “Nordstrom”. The latter really had a cumulative effect in humour, which style I relish.
Looking forward to more, and to seeing you read at a nearby event soon. Sincerely, Myke
