In case you are living in a cave, Fifty Shades of Grey premieres Friday night. Among other things, we’re dying to see Jamie Dornan strip down and slip into some BDSM gear on the big screen.
The hetero hero is a gay fave for his smooth talking, suave personality. And we suspect, given his radical notions in the bedroom, that he’s at least mildly bi-curious. In other other words, he wouldn’t be necessarily be opposed to getting freaky with another guy in the right circumstances.
Check out these five reasons why Christian Grey is a gay man’s wildest fantasy…
5. He’s as kinky as we are.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Christian Grey’s whole thing is that he likes to play rough. In fact, he has a whole “playroom” is his mansion dedicated solely to housing kinky gear.
4. He’s rich as hell.
Who doesn’t love a successful entrepreneur? In addition to owning a multimillion dollar company, Christian Grey lives in a kick ass crib and rides around in a private helicopter for fun. Oh, and he’s not 30 yet.
3. His name is Christian, but he’s got his sexual morals right.
Mr. Grey has lived on the wild side ever since losing his virginity to one of his mother’s friends when he was 15. He lives by his own rules and he’s not ashamed of it.
2. He’s stylish
Of course, one can’t be a young business magnate without looking the part. (Mark Zuckerberg anyone?) When he’s not naked in his playroom, Mr. Grey is sporting the latest designer threads. The man knows how to dress. Which could be why his mother suspected he was gay. Until she walked in one him having sex with Ana, that is.
1. He’s played by Jamie Dornan

Yeah, that’s it… money and $200 neckties.

Go home Fifty Shades of Grey, you’re drunk.

My wildest fantasy would have to be about a gay or bi man who actually lusts after me and actually wants to have mad passionate sex with me.
DarkZephyr
P.S. 50 Shades of Heteronormacy can F**k Off as far as I am concerned.
Gruffling
I’m surprised at there being a gay following of this…thing.
Call me old fashioned but being gay for me doesn’t involve getting my rocks off to anything relating to vaginas.

@Gruffling: A-freaking-men!

funny how there could be an objection to Dakota Johnson with a Jamie Dornan when there were not many objections to frightshows like Debra Messing and Sarah Jessica Parker. Dakota Johnson is actually a beautiful woman, Messing and Parker look like drag compared to Johnson. But then Madonna looks like Drag compared to Beyonce.
Gay men have watched straight adult for hot guys like Seth Gamble, Xander Corvus, Hakan etc.

btw, in re mainstream entertainment …. since when have you gotten White Queen without White Bitch? There is in fact a legally recognized demographic known as Women and White Queens, a la Sex And The City, Magic Mike, Twlight, Madonna etc.

LOL. This article must surely be written in jest or it’s a paid ad for the film studio behind 50 Shades.

“Our wildest fantasy”? I guess you’re talking about the mouse in your pocket.
Re: “5. Kinky”, um, no. I don’t think I have a kinky bone in my body. If other people enjoy that stuff, more power to them. I just don’t wish to have my gayness defined by other people’s fetishes.
Re: “4, He’s Rich”, money is not an aphrodisiac to me.
Re: “2. He’s stylish”, not a requirement for my wildest fantasies.
Re: “1. He’s played by Jamie Dornan”, um, who?
Queerty is continuing a bad habit of being complicit in stereotyping gay people. Nothing against other gay people who are turned on by kink, money, stylishness, and/or what’s-his-name. But leave me out of your “our”, please.

What am I missing here?

@Desert Boy: The need for clickbait.
ingyaom
@Desert Boy: What you may be missing is that “50 Shades” is a paid sponsor of this website. I usually look at it with an ad-blocker, but I saw it today on a different browser, and “50 Shades” ads were all over it.

1 Reason why he should be absolutely no one’s fantasy: He is literally an abuser who treats his partner like crap and isn’t so much Kinky as he is Rapey

The only stuff that seems to get mentioned on here nowadays is anything that pays Queerty for the privilege. There’s a pioneering gay series on TV at the moment in the UK that has two separate gay drama series (both written and created by Russell T Davies, the creator of Queer as Folk) on two different channels: Cucuember (an hour every week on Channel 4, the main terrestrial TV channel) and Banana (on e4, the more youth-oriented channel), plus a weekly tie-in show online. You would think a multi-platform, entirely gay drama series would at least get a mention on here, but it’s been on for weeks and there hasn’t been a peep about it. I assume Queerty put their hand out but nothing was forthcoming so they focus all their time and energy on stuff that’s aimed at straight women of a certain age instead.
It’s a shame, as this is the only gay site I read and always has been but the sheer weight of advertorial on here these days (and endless lists) is off-putting.
Also, is it not against the law to post paid-for content and not declare it as such? It is in the UK.

Why no mention of Cucumber on Qwerty? Best drama on channel 4..

@Ladbrook: Thanks, but one article three months ago compared to the wall-to-wall coverage of Fifty Shades of Grey and the next Magic Mike movie is terrible, considering this is a gay news site. But then I assume if they started covering the unpaid for stuff as much as they did everything else then why would anyone pay? It’s the drawback of putting so much emphasis on advertorial.

@Gruffling: Personally, I want to see it, and mostly because I want to see the actor as nude as possible. He is kind of hot. I find straight men sexy and I find gay men sexy. I find vagina, under the right circumstances, interesting. However, I definitely identify as gay and not bi. There are many colors in that rainbow.
demented
@BuyK: That explains a lot, I’m sorry to say. Davies’ interlaced shows, Amazon’s trans sitcom, etc? Nah, let’s talk about “50 Shades” (which is even less unintentionally gay/bi than “Twilight”) and “Looking,” because they pay us!

I rather watch gay porn than fantasize that 50 Shades is gay. I don’t care how “hot” the guy is. Hetero sex does nothing for me.

The only way I’d have been even slightly interested in this movie is if Jamie had his scruff in it, he was the sub rather than the dom, and no one was rich. It wouldn’t hurt if it had no vaginas in it either.
This movie is lame, stop trying to make it happen. It’s not going to happen.
There’s this thing called the internet where I can get all the porn I want off Tumblr and actually get bored because there’s so much of it. I don’t have to pay a dime for it. Neat.

I can’t imagine sitting through two hours of this tripe. Not only does the subject matter not interest me in the least, but in the press tour Jamie Dornan came across as a self righteous bore. And he was so proud that his contract guaranteed that his little willie would not show up. Something tells me the audience will be glad for that as well.
