Porn darling

FTM pornstar James Darling has signed on with Alternadudes

FTM porn sweetheart and entrepreneur James Darling is a new addition to Alternadudes.

The gay porn site, dedicated to “real emos, skaters, punks, rockers, scene guys,” and generally tattooed and pierced guys, has signed on Darling and produced his first full-length scene, with co-star Ruckus, adult industry source XBiz says. This makes Darling the first FTM performer on this (up until now) cisgender gay porn website.

Darling’s sexy trailblazing extends beyond his appearance on Alternadudes. His website, FTM Fucker, has been operating a year and a half now, offering an alternative to the cisgender- (and often white-) dominated porn industry, with a spectrum of identities represented (and paired up for scenes).

Maybe Alternadudes could take a few tips.
