The hug is free if the guy is nice (fuck man, I might pay for that), having my image (with or without a "gay" hug) be published and appearing on a movie set is definitely something I want to be compensated for.
Homochrondriac is actually a great word for people (usually men) who restrict their behaviour in absurd ways to avoid being perceived as gay. I used to know a man who used to drink neat whiskey, even though he hated it, because he didn't feel "allowed" to drink what his tastes preferred (tooty fruity cocktails) because they would make him seem gay, apparently. He was a homochrondriac.
That is what he would typically drink, because he did find that it made the taste more tolerable (plus he felt that it was even more masculine than just whiskey and ice). As someone who really enjoys a good Old Fashioned, I find it deeply tragic that he would force himself to drink something he merely found "tolerable".
It's very silly. Some of the masculine people I know are guys who are secure in their own masculinity. They drink whatever beverages they like, they paint their nails or wear eyeliner if it would suit their outfit, they wear a tutu and have a tea party with a young child — in short, they integrate masculinity into who they are in a healthy manner, rather than living their life subordinate to some abstract, impossible ideal.
I've always ragged on those guys to their face. Back in the 90s I'd wear pink oxfords and my coworkers would joke about me looking gay. "I'm secure in my sexuality. You worry about shit like that?"
While sorting through videos I have saved, I found it. I know it's 8 days later and no one else is gonna see this but I thought you'd get a giggle. Enjoy
It's funny because that's actually the original understanding of the term homophobia. It's why it's a phobia and not queerism or similar (a la racism).

Pay? Would do it for free.

I would need at least a 100. I'm not getting out of bed for 20. I'm guessing they don't cover travel cost either?

I'm straight, but I love hugs and physical affection from anyone. The only hesitation would be if I worried I smelled.

Exactly! I'm bisexual, but I'm rather lukewarm towards most men. But I'm always down for a good hug!

If you're good at something never do it for free. At least, not for a big company that's making a movie.

I'd do a lot more than hug for $40mil.

That guy should try an old fashioned. It’s sweet and tasty and Don Draper masculinity approved (TM)!

And what if I don't drink alcohol at all? Just water for me.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 325d
Put the water in a sports water bottle and spray it all over your face and hair on a hot day!

$40 mill? My donut would be dilated faster than you could say "harder Daddy"

I mean I'll still take the $40 mil.

There's one I love and can't find of this bigger bearish redneck guy saying "For a billion dollars? I'd be spelling my name like Cardi B"

I like how it’s “special appearance”. Like you’re a cameo that’s going to have the audience going “Sara’s in this? No way!”
