Men.com is a producer of gay and bisexual internet pornography content. It is owned by MindGeek.

The domain name was purchased in December 2003 from entrepreneur Rick Schwartz for $1.3 million.[1]

History

Beginning in October 2015 with the "Stealth Fuckers" series, Men.com began to introduce female characters into non-sexual roles, creating controversy over whether female performers belonged in gay porn. In January 2018, Men.com released a controversial scene[2][3] featuring heterosexual sex and created a category for "bisexual porn".[4]

In August of 2018, Men.com released its first scene featuring MMF bisexual porn titled "The Challenge", creating further controversy over whether bisexual porn belongs on a gay porn website. Men.com stated that they decided to feature bisexual content because "After asking our users what they would like to see, a surprisingly large number asked for a fully bisexual scene."[5] Arad Winwin, the star of the scene and a self-identified gay man, faced backlash from fans for acting in the scene.[6]

In January 2015, in the wake of several controversies involving Justin Bieber and his allegedly "out-of-control" behavior, Men.com posted an Internet ad featuring its most popular actor Johnny Rapid inviting the singer to do a sex scene with him for US$2 million.[7]

In July 2017, a line from a Men.com scene titled "Private Lessons, Part 3" (later renamed "Right in Front of My Salad") became an Internet meme.[8][9] The scene depicts a woman eating dinner before noticing the cook is having sex with her husband in the kitchen, and exclaiming, "Are you guys fucking? Right in front of my salad?!"[10] The "right in front of salad" meme is used in response to a post that is disgusting or unseemly.[10]
