Dicks

[LargoKitt]

Stories on Literotica are of a great variety and reveal all the ways people like to have sex. Commercial porn video seems to be obsessed with dicks. Search on 'lesbian' and pretty quick you're getting a dick pic. Can a few folks enlighten me why heterosexual men like to spend their one hand viewing time looking at other men's penises? Sure, those cocks are penetrating stuff (mostly butts these days, and what's with that?) Are porn viewers secretly lusting for the home team? I'm mystified.

I believe that is why lesbian porn is so popular. Those pesky penises are usually absent though, as you mentioned, due to false tags and MFF threesomes, dicks do show up in lesbian porn, but less often than in MF porn.

Yep

Plus there's the whole, one women is a lovely view, so two women is an especially lovely view.

Damn. Thought we were gonna have a spirited, in depth discussion about the sporting goods store. But apparently not.

 

[TheRedChamber]

Not really sure what you're implying, but also bisexual enough that I'm probably not the guy to ask.

 

[Kelliezgirl]

You've gotten the algorithm wrong then, because my experience has been very different.

It turns them on.

They imagine it's their dick, whatever awesome porny thing is happening to it to make it come.

It isn't any more complicated than that.

Exactly.

And its why POV porn has become a pretty popular thing. We can watch the girl suck a dick and absolutely picture ourselves in place of the faceless male performer.

It's also cheap to produce. Personally, I prefer one or more non-POV cameras.

How insecure are you that you are afraid to see another man's penis?

I hate POV porn. It's like watching through someone else's eyes while they have sex.

I'd much rather see both parties in a more traditional framing.

It's just capitalism at work. There are only so many ways for two people to have sex, so the porn directors keep looking for a new orifice or view to keep their product selling. I much prefer the porn of the 1970's and 1980's because it usually had at least a weak plot and the actresses didn't shave their pussies. "The Ribald Tales of Canterbury" and "The Autobiography of a Flea" come to mind.

When a guy sees a dick in a porn video with a woman, he's imagining it's his dick having the fun. Makes sense to me.

@LargoKitt,
I believe, my dear colleague, a more definitive search is the problem. Simply typing in "Lesbian" will get you anything tagged with the word "Lesbian". If you type in "Mother's first lesbian encounter" you'll get a much different array of results. I think that in the case of commercial porn it panders to the white middle class concept of what is "sexually popular" and that is most often guided by viewer response rather than producers concept.

IF I decide I need to watch some porn I will make an in depth search, rather than a general search, for a topic. For example, if I want to see a lesbian boss taking advantage of her co-worker then I will search for "Lesbian boss and female co-worker".

IF I want to see lesbian anal play then I will search, specifically, for "lesbian anal play".

I'm not insecure at the sight of another fella's cock but I cannot, for the life of me, sitting in front of a screen, imagine it's my dick doing the work.
Deepest respects,
D.

I just wanna reach through the screen and give the dude a high five, like *clap* "You're doing great bro, keep it up!"

Back in the late 90’s a friend of mine met Peter North in a bar and did exactly that

I mean, some of them (us) do. But that can’t explain straight porn, because there is just as much gay porn and it’s just as easy to find and it’s just as cheap to “buy” (free).

So, besides just the “imagining it’s me” bit, there’s also just the whole voyeurism part. Watching other people fuck is just a turn-on all by itself. Of course you’re going to see a dick.

You would have to show that they’re only looking at dicks and not at any women or at any heterosexual acts being performed. Which is easy enough to show, except that then it isn’t straight porn anymore and the whole question of whether it’s a straight guy is … well, if there were straight-identifying guys watching that(and there are at least some), and you were to ask them, a lot of them would take it as impolite, at best.

 

[Britva415]

This kinda reminds me of the guy in high school who insisted that he didn’t masturbate because touching a dick was gay, even if it was one’s own.

Pretty strong denial. We all knew he masturbated, and nobody was surprised when he also turned out to be gay

I’m just telling the story, @LargoKitt , I’m not saying you’re in the closet.

Fellas, is it gay to stroke your dick while watching two lesbians?

@TheLobster,
Hell no...! I'd say it's natural but that's just me.

This I understand. Not so diff from playing a 'first person shooter'. And the arguments above suggest that a porno vid is like playing a game with an avatar who is ripped and has 93 'charm points'. That said, I'd rather see more of the lady enjoying herself.

Human society and culture has centred the penis for millennia as a totem of fertility. In patriarchal culture, it is a symbol of power. Although cultural homophobia tells men it's wrong and unnatural, men are still drawn to the penis as the ultimate symbol of male potency and sexual prowess.

That's why the penis pervades porn - but, at the same time, the men attached to the penises are seldom the focus of the action.

 

[LargoKitt]

Maybe it's my many decades on the planet, but, well, it's not so much that pix, vids, stories about P.I.V. sex is dull; it's just that, especially for a senior male, there are so many other ways to entertain in a bedroom. And female people really seem to appreciate those other games as much or more than the penis parties. So, call me subversive, but I'd like to see the trope disappear that "she may enjoy that girlfriend, or fancy licking vibe, or boob play, or hot and heavy smooching but she really is just craving that old in-out." And here's a thing: Instead of the porno helping a dude fantasize about having a ten inch anaconda how about showing all the other ways you can be a champ in bed?

You can get a rod there.
