Sex Question Friday: Why Are So Many Straight Men Into Transsexual Porn? - Sex and Psychology
www.sexandpsychology.comEvery Friday on the blog, I answer people’s questions about sex, love, and relationships. This week’s question comes from a reader of the blog who was curious about why so many heterosexual men are pleasuring themselves to pornography featuring transgender and transsexual performers.I run a porn blog and I keep getting messages from men wanting to see tranny / shemale porn. I'm assuming these men are all straight-identifying, but maybe that's just my gay-identifying bias. I'm wondering what, if any studies or knowledge is out there about men who are attracted to and watch this kind of material or even look for them in real life? It does absolutely nothing for me, but this particular fetish is unavoidable if you frequent any kind of porn social network and it seems a lot of people are into this. What are your thoughts? Why might this be a turn-on for some, and what does it imply, if anything, about their sexuality?
Trans women are women, so what’s the writer’s point here? That it’s somehow gay to watch trans porn?
I’m the first person to say I don’t understand how the nuances of sexuality work. If I had to make a guess, I’d say that humans aren’t actually attracted to “Male” or “Female”, so much as they are attracted to “Masculine” and “Feminine”. regardless of the relative body parts that may or may not be under their clothes.
It says nothing at all about their sexuality, because it’s nobody’s business but their own.
me, a bisexual: and vice versa.
Talking to old-headed guys is a weird phenomenon.
- Would you kiss a trans woman?
“No, that’s gay.”
- Then would you kiss a trans man?
“No, that’s gay.”
(Well that, and also we should’ve stopped seeing homosexuality as a moral failure by 1000AD)
I don’t think I saw anything in the article about trans women specifically.
The implication is that men who consume trans porn are gay.
