I think I have somewhat of a different take than others from what I’ve read. I don’t hate Glenn as much as other people do. What I do hate is glenn creating an SA porno in the name of art. There’s no way a rape scene can be portrayed as art when it’s a porno that people get off to, and tbh it’s rare/not possible to portray rape as art. I found this disgusting.
But I honestly liked the concept of his regular adult films, with the interviews in the beginning especially, and the idea of angles and colors.
Another thing, Glenn knows what happens to porn stars in society, and porn stars also should know the consequences of going into that industry. It’s not like Glenn was pressuring his actors tbh. He had a structure in which he said masturbation came first, then actor tops, then actor bottoms, but the actor has to agree in the first place.
However, he got into a relationship with Ed yet he still wanted Ed in his films when he knew what would happen if everyone found out, and how he would he shunned and isolated. That was shitty of him. I think that’s what Ed realized and why that was a major reason he was angry at Glenn, and for that he has every reason to be angry, but I feel like as an adult himself he should’ve known the consequences as well.
Also the fact that Ed as a millionaire wouldn’t understand what it’s like to be a horrible financial situation, he kind of lived in his own perfect make believe world.
On principle I don’t like Ed for the fact he makes money on mostly people who are poor and see no other options.
Overall this was a pretty realistic story about when ur in a horrible financial situation (bc of society) and you’re left with very limited options (bc of society) to survive, and then you’re fucked over (by society)
I have more to say (esp about that fucker Chang) but it’s been pretty much covered by everyone else where I agree, and I just think it’s all very hard to say your opinions in a comment.










guys I’m rlly not caught up much with passion and I jsut saw this and clicked but IS THIS FUCKING XINLU???? THAT CUTE TWINK BECAME A HOT TOP??? guys PLS explain im SO LOST HOW DID WE GET HERE also isn’t gable like that taxi driver guys or smthn i acc dont remember but he def gave top vibes before
cute cover fr
Yeah, this is a story specifically about Xinlu and Yuri, so it doesn’t rely too heavily on Passion. Xinlu is going through another growth spurt, plus Taeui being in love with Xinlu gives him this filter that makes Xinlu seem like the bottom. But Xinlu is actually fully the top.
And Yuri isn’t a taxi driver, he’s a member of Intel and an informant for T&R. Yuri signed a work contract with Xinlu, and yeah, Yuri is currently in China with Xinlu.
Why did Xinlu bottom for Illay then? I didnt read passion bc of all the abuse and everything so idk, but maybe ill read this judging by the comments and i wanted to know
It was Tay's eyes which saw Xinlu as a cute baby boy. Xinlu was never twink to begin with ( with that attitude lmao )
Xinlu’s personality really is the type that will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. In Passion, Xinlu and Taeui fell in love with each other. Xinlu, being very perceptive, could tell that Ilay was a threat to him, so he made a deal with Ilay that he wouldn’t touch Taeui with his own body. Unfortunately, Ilay eventually broke that agreement.
Even long before that, Xinlu was already a top. He had already had several experiences, and the story tells us that the people who became Xinlu’s bottoms would keep clinging to him afterward.
Ohh, and sex is actually really boring and bland for Xinlu. It doesn’t really do anything for him, which is why he didn’t think too much about it when he made that deal with Ilay. But after having sex with Yuri, Xinlu realized that sex could actually feel good lmao.
