Thomas Jane Was A Homeless Gay Whore Once
Thomas Jane plays a Midwestern father who peddles his peen to ladies for cash on HBO's Hung and he tells The L.A. Times (via Towleroad) that in real life he once took a price tag to his saleable bits and turned tricks on Santa Monica Blvd. Thomas admitted that he tasted man for money when the L.A. Times reporter brought up the "I told HBO, the year I end up with a penis in my mouth is the last year of the show" line that caused some of the gay media to light his asshole for free.
Instead of giving the public (read: me) what they really wanted by passing forward detailed stories, Polaroid pictures, sketches, videos and flip books of his man-on-man hooker car sex, Thomas went on and on about how being a gay hustler showed him that dude ass ain't for him. You know, because dicks and pussies are like brussels sprouts, you can't know that you don't like em until you've tried em. And just like brussels sprouts, dicks and pussies are best when served with a little garlic salt and melted butter on top. This is what Thomas had to say about selling ass and sexuality:
You've gotten a lot of grief in the gay media ... here's your chance [to explain yourself].
Hey, you grow up as an artist in a big city, as James Dean said, you're going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don't accept people's sexual flavors. You know, when I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I was 18. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?Do you feel that experience had any cost or was it just doing what you had to do?
You're a lot more open to experimentation as a young man. And for me, being a young artist and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual identity. And probably because of my middle-class, white blue-collar upbringing, I would have never had the opportunity to confront some of my own fears and prejudices had I not been hungry enough to be forced to challenge myself in that way.So then it was productive for you in terms of self-knowledge?
Yeah, absolutely. It blew the doors off of my conventional upbringing and thinking and opened up possibilities for me that were akin to World War III. And then you actually have a choice, and I chose to be a heterosexual guy because that's what my DNA dictates and my nurture dictates that I am.Then is that a choice?
I don't know. I think up to a point it's a choice. But I'll tell you what — it's not a choice until you're open enough to experience both male and female sexuality. Until you've tasted the food, you don't know whether you'll like it or not, as my mom always said.
What Thomas is saying is that it wasn't his choice to be straight, but it was his choice to let a man go throat deep on him for a tuna melt. Right? Okay. But the most offensive, wrong, uneducated and dangerous part of his comment is the sandwich part. Do you know how many first-time johns are going to pick up a twink queen on Santa Monica Blvd. and throw them a wink as they whisper out of the passenger window, "Can I buy you a sandwich?" That poor john's dick-sucking wet dreams are going to be crushed when the twink queen thinks he literally wants to buy him a sandwich and tells him to pull into the Subway a couple blocks up. I swear, Thomas Jane is totally whoring for Subway!
By the way, selling ass for a sandwich is totally my new life motto.

Uh, no, I think you can pretty much determine who you're attracted to by... who you're attracted to. I haven't fucked a fat hairy smelly guy, but I'm pretty sure I don't have to actually fuck one to make sure I don't like it. Same with da pussy - some women fascinate me, but the thought of actual sex with them does not appeal.
^^^^^^^^
I was married for 11 years, always thought I was straight, until I met a woman who is now my partner. It caused a lot of confusion and grief in my family, and I refer to myself as half-gay bc I'm still attracted to men-- I don't even look at other women. We joke that if we ever break up, we'll both go back to men, bc women are crazy. LOL.

when I was broke and just out of college I used to go on dates with this older gay guy. We made out a few times but that is far as we went, I did genuinely like talking with him and if he wanted to take me out to expensive restaurants why should I turn him down?
ugh i hate when beautiful people say stupid things. then i have to stop salivating over them! or do i...?
anyways, clearly "experimenting" with your sexuality is the same as "having sex for money", right? kill two birds in one stone, AND get a sandwich outta the deal! ugh.

I sincerely believe everyone is at least a little bit gay. Some more than others. Hey, you see it in nature all the time - if there isn't a chick to bone down on, dude animals will get gay. Same thing with the ladies. I lived on a horse farm growing up and the brood mares would hump up on each other when they were mad horny and there weren't any studs around. Paging Dr. Kinsey.
I have gay dreams all the time. Everyone's got some gay in them. Rock on.

I'm very superficial, I hate everything official.
When I was 18 I was sleeping with a 40 something yo woman who owned a bar... She let me hang out and drink for free... Her apartment was directly above the bar, it was rather convenient.

I'm not judging. I used to go on dates so I would be guaranteed a meal. Never put out for those dates, though. I pulled the "What kind of girl do you think I AM?" if they seemed to expect it. I'd screw a guy I liked for free, though, heh heh heh.
There was one guy loosely connected with my circle who was big and oafish and awkward. Somehow we wound up with an arrangement. I'd clean his apartment and then he would take me out to nice dinners and a movie or show. He also took me to Acapulco, and gave me a credit card to use for a few days (which he later reported as stolen) which I used to buy some nice stuff. My hand to god, I never so much as kissed him.
I think he just liked people to see him out with a pretty girl who wasn't obviously an escort. As long as people thought we were fucking it was enough for him. What the hell did I care what other people thought?
IN THIS ECONOMY who isn't interested in sammiches?

There must actually be very very few real gay people because almost all gay guys I know have had at least some sexual contact with a woman, so really they must all be bi then by rovex's definition. I just think it's a double standard. For example men that go out and have sex with women for years, then come out later in life as gay are from then on out, labeled "Gay" and not Bi, but a straight man that has one tiny sexual encounter with a man has to be bi or gay and in denial and can't call himself straight.
I think it comes down to who you have romantic relationships with. If it's only someone from the opposite sex, then you’re straight. If it's from either sex, then you're bi. If it's only with someone of the same sex, then you're gay.

That said, I knew straight guys who tricked for food and, most especially, drugs. I'm not sure if I'm remembering right, but I thought Thomas Jane had a nose candy problem back in the day.

I'm sure it was a case of tricking for drugs back in the day, and scripts once he started working in the industry. But yeah, Thomas, tell us it was all an experiment in sexuality and experiencing the life of the young artiste in the big city. Blowhan needs to memorize that line of bullshit.

Lets be clear here. He 'chose' to be heterosexual because he was capable of making the choice. Clearly he is attracted to women and rather 'meh' about men. That doesnt make him heterosexual, it just makes him able to live a totally heterosexual life. If his sexuality hasnt changed since his gay-for-sandwich days then he is a bi man living a hetero life. Thats hardly a rare thing.

Uuuh, no you're bi-sexual if not gay. Straight men don't screw other men. Period. A straight man would find any way on earth to make money for a sandwich that didn't involve sucking dick because that what straight DNA dictates.
*************************************************
How quaint and naive you are! It's adorable! Also, he didn't say he sucked dick. Sexuality isn't black and white.
_________________________________________________
No it isnt black or white, however you are either gay, straight or bi (unless some sort of intersex condition confuses it even more). If you can have sex with someone of the same sex you are, just a tiny bit, bi at the very least. To me 'bi' covers everything between the polar extremes. You might not like the label, but it fits. No amount of desperation could make me fuk a woman, even if the mind was able to go through with it, the dick would be giving a BIG no.

It seems that Thomas - far from being 'hung' - is actually a tinymeat(less than 7 inches hard)!!
i like the fact that he says some real shit but at the same time he is an asshole,turning tricks has nothing to do with exploring one's sexuality.

How long before he releases a statement claiming that these quotes were "taken out of context" and he was never actually a man ho?
Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. His story sounds legitimate, he himself looks yummie and "Hung" is more worthwhile than most comedies out there.

I have never seen this show, but I am guessing the shaved six pack was a plot point? It's disappointing because I don't think they have ever had a cock shot, which is weird since they have shown cocks on Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire.

I guess it was good research for when he would eventually play Homeless Dad on Arrested Development. "I just want my kids back!".

First, I would. I so would. And I wouldn't regret or lie about it later. And even though hellfire is fanning the flames of my faggotry, part of the reason I want to fuck the Punisher is because he was married to Patricia Arquette. I fucking love that bitch.
As to his story, I dunno. I've been poor and hungry, but I've never peddled my ass. I worked at 7-11, Wal-Mart, etc. That said, I knew straight guys who tricked for food and, most especially, drugs. I'm not sure if I'm remembering right, but I thought Thomas Jane had a nose candy problem back in the day.
Also, that pic is fucking weird. I've seen him in person without a shirt, and he does have real abs. I wish I could have licked them. I dunno what's up with the shaved thing. Guess every bit of emphasis helps.

I don't think being gay for pay is the same thing as being gay or bi. I think hookers fuck a lot of men they sure as hell wouldn't fuck if money weren't involved.
No wonder Patricia Arquette divorced him.

And really is it so very bad to just say, "I don't want to have a sex scene with a dude?" I don't expect gay guys to WANT to have sex scenes with women. I don't expect lesbians to enjoy the sex scenes with men. Why is it SOOOOO horrible and homophobic to say "I don't want to simulate sex with a man"?
And why is it better for him to say sexuality is "a choice" but not to say he doesn't wanna have pretend mansex? Sounds like he is covering his ass.
Also, faking having abs never works. Implants, tan contouring and this weird-ass "shaved faux-abs" thing always look faker than fake. Just do some damn crunches, man! You're being paid megabucks to be naked!

Hmm..."nurture"? Does he mean "nature" or is that a Freudian slip? If I feed my man, he better deliver the goods.
I never had to go down on a woman to know I didn't want to. I never had to be stabbed or shot to know I wasn't into that either.
James Dean was gay though.
Elizabeth Taylor even said so in her speech at the GLAAD awards.
What's Thomas Jane's excuse?
A sandwich is just a sandwich, but a Manwich is a meal

back in the day, I had a terrible b.f. who would buy himself lunch (I was a starving artist) and not buy me anything unless I asked! Sooooo selfish and rude.

Back in the 80s (yeah, I know) I dated a guy who made three times the money I made and we split the check. Every fucking time. My bday rolled around, and he bought me a cartoon t-shirt and a set of mixing spoons. WORST. BF. EVER.

Ha ha ha ha! Cooking supplies are the worst. I got a pepper mill from a guy I had been seeing for 2 months. I like to cook, so I thought, "Oh, that's nice," and it was a pretty large pepper mill (unlike his) and had a zillion-year warranty, so the message seemed to be "long-term investment", or maybe "practical dude". Then my office friend who had read that book "The Rules" informed me that practical gifts mean they don't love you. Though I think the rule doesn't apply if it's something super-expensive, like a Cuisinart, or a laptop.

On the other hand, I had this really horny, cheap ass boyfriend who expected me to have sex with him just because he bought me a freaking DONUT!! I'm not even exaggerating, it was just one measly, crumby, custard-filled donut, and while I was enjoying my donut he's like "So, um, let's go back to my room, kay?" Gross, gross and gross.
