There’s a growing concern in the adult gay film industry, that “bottoms” are being discriminated against. For those that don’t understand the lingo, a “top” is the giver and the “bottom” the receiver in a gay relationship.
Top gay adult film star Armond Rizzo went on IG yesterday to blast a top porn studio for allegedly paying tops more than bottoms.
Armond went on Twitter on January 26, to expose the practice to his 320,000 followers.
He slammed the studio after alleging that “they pay bottoms way less than tops”. He explained, “And [their] excuse [is that] the site is more top-dominant.”
The top adult film star initially didn’t say which studio he was talking about, but later revealed that his allegations are directed at BlacksOnBoys – one of the most popular gay adult studios.
“Such a shame,” he said, “lost my respect.“ Adding, “for BlacksOnBoys if you’re wondering what my response is to working for you, I think you’re smart enough to know that it’s going to be a big NO THANKS!”
“I don’t care that you even raised my fee up. It’s just unjust you pay bottoms less and for that I decline working for you!”
In the lengthy video, Rizzo described in detail how the two positions are judged differently, arguing that tops are afforded particular privileges, especially in the porn industry.
He emphasized that, traditionally, tops spend less time getting ready for shoots whereas bottoms must prep comparatively more and even monitor what they eat.
“I’m getting very passionate because I have literally had to do all the work on set,” Rizzo said.
