What is gay niche porn?

What is niche?

A specialized or narrowly targeted market category.

Definition

In the Adult Industry, there are two markets, one is called 'mainstream' and the other is naturally the 'gay' market. Mainstream Market is heterosexual.

Primarily refers to the sub categories of a specific market. Example of a market is Groceries, while a niche in that industry would be Organic, or Vegetables.

History

Today's use is more about related products or actions within a defined larger category. In porn, there are many various sexual acts that are considered 'niches'. What makes them a 'niche' is that they appeal to only a small select group, not to everyone.

While Oral Sex is a niche, it has sub niches. Hand Job versus Blow Job for example. Rimming versus Dildo Play or Intercourse can be niches within the larger Niche of Anal Sex.

As shown, there are niches within niches as well. Prime example is Twink which can also include Jocks, and Frat Boys.
