A friend recently asked me why straight women like gay porn. Here are my thoughts.
“Why do straight women like gay porn?”
Hotter guys
The guys in gay porn are so much hotter. SO MUCH hotter. They are better groomed, have better bodies, and have more attractive faces. And there are at least two of these attractive dudes in each film!
Double dicks
Straight women like dicks. Gay porn = more dicks. It’s good math.
Women issues
I felt okay saying this to my friend, but I’m worried about putting it out there in public…so I’m just going to say it – I find the women in most porn really annoying. No women is a benefit in gay porn Most of the ladies look bored and make awful sounds.
Self-esteem issues
Gay dudes don’t impact women’s self-esteem like other women do. Women in porn are almost always very young, beautiful, and skinny with extremely perky boobs. This can make the rest of us feel like crap. Gay porn means no comparisons.
Better quality
Gay porn tends to have a better overall quality. They generally have more interesting story lines (just having a story in general line puts most gay porn above most straight porn). There is better acting, though porn acting in general still pretty bad. The people seem to be having more fun and enjoying each other more in gay porn. It’s less robotic. Gay porn usually has better lighting, filming, production, etc. And fewer weird closeups of genitals.
Safe factor
Gay dudes are safe for many straight women. This makes gay porn safe.
Final thoughts
My friend asked “why do some straight women like gay male porn?” It’s actually MOST straight women. According to psypost.org, 82% of women prefer gay male porn. That’s a lot. (Another statistic I found said 39%, but that’s not as juicy.)
Justin Bieber comes up often when searching “gay porn.”
Straight guys watch lesbian porn all the time. Why is this different?
Why do straight women like gay porn? Let me know if you have additional thoughts. Or porn recommendations.
My reason for liking gay porn is different. Bi males turn me on (though I know most men in porn are gay for pay only). The reason being that it’s so tabu. Most men won’t admit it to others readily because it’s “unmanly” to enjoy dick. In my past, I’ve been upfront with men I’ve dated on the issue. “Hey if it’s your thing I’ll never judge you, I think it’s hot” etc. most men at that point, feel comfortable enough to share. That’s the point where “omg you’re so open and unlike other women” usuallyis spoken. I’m very comfortable with my sexuality and don’t have a problem speaking up or discussing my desires with partners. I think that’s another reason I am turned on by an admitted bi male, it’s nice to see a man comfortable with his sexuality as well.
Yes, most people (women, too) are stuck that if a man likes dick at all = automatic gay, no matter what. I don’t think anything is that black and white. Thanks for reading and commenting!
I LOVE gay male porn. I honestly think I enjoy seeing men (or at least one male in most scenarios) in a more submissive and vulnerable position. I find it romantic instead of one guy just pile driving one woman. It’s sensual. Let men be vulnerable. I also feel like there’s more speaking? And not dirty talk but genuine romantic speech during gay male porn. Probably because it’s geared towards a more feminine audience. Masculinity is sexy and all but grunting cavemen are not.
It’s nice to know I’m not alone in this feeling. I also enjoy the books, not just movies. I haven’t thought about it in as much detail as this post does, but found myself agreeing with the summation. Thanks!
Thanks for reading and commenting, Lisa! Yes, I actually prefer reading erotica to watching porn as well.
