Do good-looking studs turn off the male audience?

Dan Senior Member 2056 Posts 6/07	Posted - Feb 11 2011 : 11:58AM I've recently watched Simony Diamond perform with horny guys in several different scenes. Simony is tall, pretty, and sexy in every way. Nice ass, nice legs, nice tits. Everything is nice about the way she looks. In terms of her looks, Simony is clearly out of my league and out of the league for most porn-fans. In one scene I've watched a short, not-so-good-looking guy pursue Simony Diamond on the street. She says 'no' to him in public and quickly walks away from him. But he keeps pursuing her with a begging-look on his face. They end up in a quiet, deserted park. And without any other people around, Simony Diamond is no longer embarrassed about being seen with a scrawny guy. She decides to fuck him, just for the fun of it. This guy is eager. He has chemistry for the lady. And he bangs Simony good, including her nice ass. This scene looked pretty hot to me. Because Simony's sex with this guy brought her into my league and made her look attainable to me. I could see myself doing this pretty lady too. But then I watched another scene, where Simony has no-holes-barred sex with two guys, Manuel Ferrara and Steve Holmes. The sex she has with these two guys is technically even more hot than the sex Simony had with the scrawny guy before. Because they do a pretty good cowgirl-DP with her in addition to other hot sex acts. But seeing these two tall, very good-looking guys with Simony Diamond deflated my sexual excitement and turned my big banana into a big noodle. These two guys made Simony look even more out of my league than before. Because I could clearly see that there was no way I could compete with such guys for the lady's attention. Which intimidated me and turned me off. I think purely heterosexual porn-fans don't need to see good-looking porn-studs. Because the male attractiveness only turns them off. But I suppose, some porn-fans are somewhat bi-sexual. And they get aroused by both good-looking guys and good-looking ladies. And they like to watch both. Edited by - Dan on Feb 11 2011 [Link]

Click to expand I never think of this sort of thing when watching porn. Porn is fantasy. She is in your league because you have $14.95 for the DVD. Click to expand I suppose, this is true for you. But my question is about porn-fans in general. Because the answer to this question has important implications for how well or how poorly porn movies sell to the porn fans. The only reliable way to answer this question is to do a statistically valid study of porn fans. A randomly selected group of porn fans can be shown pictures of the same porn lady with unattractive studs and other pictures of her with very handsome, tall, and attractive studs. And then have these porn-fans rate the sexual heat of each picture on a scale of 1 to 10. When the porn-lady is the same in all of the pictures performing the same kind of sex acts with each guy. Then the studs she is with in each picture is the only difference between these pictures. And this means that any preference porn-fans show in their rating of these pictures will show their preference either for good-looking studs, or unattractive studs, or no preference at all. Such a study can probably be designed and done on the internet. Although porn-fans selecting themselves for such a study might not be representative of porn-fans in general. You need a random selection to make sure that the porn-fans are representative of porn-fans in general. Edited by - Dan on 2/11/2011 12:59:15 PM [Link]

Click to expand Me neither, because as a matter of course, I don't project myself into the act and view the scene as a voyeur. However, I will have to say that I do prefer to watch pretty people having sex. [Link]

Zoid Senior Member Boobies and Anal 2004 Posts 5/04	Posted - Feb 11 2011 : 2:11PM I prefer good-looking males in my porn and was unaware that it made me somewhat bisexual. I have to meditate on this. [Link]
Capt Easy Deactivated User 132 Posts 12/10	Posted - Feb 11 2011 : 2:17PM I have absolutely no idea what Holmes and Ferrara look like. I usually hit the fast forward when they show male faces. [Link]
Boob Enthusiast Member 91 Posts 3/08	Posted - Feb 11 2011 : 2:44PM I don't generally watch porn to identify with the male. I enjoy beautiful naked women, and watch porn on about a 99.8% purely voyeuristic level. Therefore, I like the guys to be neutral as much as possible, so that I don't notice them. Either too attractive or too ugly draws my attention and turns me off. On the other hand, and somewhat contradictorily, I want there to be chemistry between the actors. Which is easier to achieve if they're at least in a similar league, looks-wise. So, overall, I guess I'd prefer the guys be plausibly attractive to be with such beautiful women, but not distractingly so. [Link]
MrTibbs Member 372 Posts 7/09	Posted - Feb 11 2011 : 3:29PM IMO, the male talent should be as fit and good-looking as possible, and same with the ladies because I like watching healthy good-looking people fuck. I do identify with the guy and I place myself in his shoes mentally, but I don't need my ego pampered by seeing the girl knocked down a few notches so that I feel like I can score with them in real life. I don't think that makes me a closet bisexual any more than it makes you an insecure heterosexual. [Link]
Draxxx Senior Member 3831 Posts 2/07	Posted - Feb 12 2011 : 3:00AM I don't want to see ugly people on screen. I've never understood the whole mentality of the guys who claim to like Ron Jeremy because of how he looks with the thought process of "If a guy who looks like him can bang these hot women there's hope for me to be able to...". It's porn and these girls are being paid to be with him. I don't think I'm bad looking so I don't relate moreso to people I think are bad looking and I'm not intimidated by goodlooking guys. With me if the guy is too ugly it's distracting and I don't enjoy the scene as much. [Link]

robocop Member 200 Posts 7/10	Posted - Feb 12 2011 : 12:11PM I too do not project myself into the porn scene. The thought that a particular girl is in or out of my league does not cross my mind. I just like to watch two people fuck. A fit and healthy guy is a requirement for this, obviously, but I don't really care about him or identify with him. I only care about the women. There's one thing that is important to me: the guy should treat the woman like I would treat her, meaning no overt aggressiveness or dominance and respect. [Link]
hoochimama Deactivated User 1437 Posts 5/10	Posted - Feb 12 2011 : 6:36PM I never consider whether a female pornstar is out of my league or not, doesn't cross my mind. I do however get self-conscious if I see a male performer with a very handsome face(just like in real life), but that doesn't happen 99,9% of the time, guys like Manuel Ferrara don't seem particularly handsome to me, just regular blokes and most male talent in the industry looks worse than average. However the sadist in me enjoys seeing very beautiful females getting fucked by repulsive males, I like the degrading aspect. I don't get self-conscious when I see penises bigger than mine in porn either but I hear that's why japanese AV employs smaller than average guys. [Link]
elgringoviejo58 Senior Member 1460 Posts 1/07	Posted - Feb 12 2011 : 6:44PM The naughty side of me like to see a beautiful young have to really earn her pay by having sex with someone like the Hedgehog. fap. fap. fap. [Link]

chasershore Member 17 Posts 2/11	Posted - Feb 13 2011 : 2:20AM I like fit men in my porn. ugly guys are distracting. I get frustrated when men uglier than me get laid by a world-class piece of ass. Case in point...any Japanese porn. I watch and I think "This girl looks like an angel, and this guy looks like he lives in a UHAUL box under a bridge." At that point I am not in the moment. Nor am I really into it when the Giant Octopus from out of nowhere butt fucks them both and commits Hare Kare with eight katanas. So no ugly guys. [Link]

jettyman Member No matter what size the tits are....play with them.... 732 Posts 12/08	Posted - Mar 6 2011 : 12:35PM It’s good to see average Joe fucking a hot babe but I don’t want to see gross men fucking, that’s a no no. It’s more what average Joe or a good looking stud does to the hot babe. I want to see the guys roughly fuck girls and do the things that I would like to do to her, like face fucking, spanking and tit slapping her until she’s been fucked to completion..... [Link]
freakdude28 Member 145 Posts 3/11	Posted - Mar 6 2011 : 2:23PM I like to get my girlfriend to watch porn with me. And she isn't that into it to begin with. So if all the guys were ugly I think she would be even less likely to watch with me. [Link]
Xanderian Member 404 Posts 1/11	Posted - Mar 6 2011 : 4:27PM Good or bad looking guys shouldn't be the concern for the male fans. I really dislike this situation. The thing i look in scenes is that does male performer do something unusual or does he have any unusual habit/behaviour so that the scene could be different from others. Its like the normal movies, sometimes you like the music sometimes you like acting. For me to i appreciate the, i look for male actors ability to add to the scene. With saying this most of my friends complain when the director shows/focuses male performers penis. I dont get them either. If you like to watch hardcore porn you should expect to see the p of course! if you dont want to see it go watch lesb stuff [Link]
Digmen1 Member 629 Posts 7/07	Posted - Mar 7 2011 : 4:56AM No I'm a straight guy But I hate to look at fat ugly guys, or guys with tattoos all over them, or with ugly curved dicks, or super fit body builder guys. As the guy said above, just normal looking guys. [Link]

RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06	Posted - Mar 7 2011 : 10:33AM Good looking guys are preferable. As long as the guy doesn't have any wood problems at all. Which, unfortunately, many guys in the biz seem to. [Link]
coolfonz Member 465 Posts 3/08	Posted - Mar 7 2011 : 2:15PM don't watch porn for the dudes. [Link]

mich Member Los Angeles, Ca 353 Posts 9/06	Posted - Mar 7 2011 : 4:32PM I don't watch porn for the guys. I do put myself in the scene. The fantasy for me is not about being with women "out of my league" but performing various sexual acts with a woman whose physical appearance I enjoy and hopefully whose sexual behaviour meet my own interests. I guess I don't see any woman as being "out of my league". I have a pretty good self-image. So when a guy on screen is ugly, it is distracting for me. They don't need to be perfect physical specimens, but when a guy is outright ugly to me, it's distracting from what's going on in the scene. [Link]
boogieknight Member 146 Posts 3/07	Posted - Mar 8 2011 : 1:55PM who cares!! You think we turned off the VCR when Ron Jeremy and Bobby Astyr took the stage back in the day? " Oh I need to see good looking super hot guys ", uh no I'm fine with Greg from the parking garage as long as the scene stimulates my imagination. I'm a good looking guy but as far as adult movies I really don't care who is in the scene when it comes to their face! [Link]
TheCuriousDizzle Member 91 Posts 11/09	Posted - Mar 8 2011 : 3:02PM I prefer porn studs to be good looking. It's rather unrealistic that a stunningly beautiful woman would be fucking a guy that looks like a troll. [Link]

Edited by - Dan on Feb 11 2011 Click to expand I think insecure heterosexual porn fans don't like seeing good looking studs and try to push it off as some kind of homoerotic thrill on those of us who are secure because there's no way we can be better than they are. Well, we are and I don't want to see attractive women with ugly dudes in porn any more than I want to see Kevin James and Vince Vaughn married to Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder in regular movies. But hey, there are producers who cater to your needs in both so why not stick to movies that give you what you want---which honestly is most of them so long as Mr. Pete is still working (though I did get a laugh when Sasha Grey made it clear she would never date him in the real world on a BTS). Sorry Ed Powers retired so he can't make you feel better about yourself any longer. Edited by - DarkPlaces on 3/9/2011 3:16:43 AM [Link]
NuTTy_BuDDy Member 608 Posts 12/00	Posted - Mar 9 2011 : 6:20AM I'd rather see them fuck who they want, and I'm not at all convinced this is what actually occurs. [Link]
Aplus Senior Member 1431 Posts 5/05	Posted - Mar 9 2011 : 2:24PM Never been an issue for me. To be honest, I never really thought the males in porn were generally that good-looking as a whole, well until the last few years really. An issue female fans tend to complain about more so than males I think. If anything, I tend to identify with whatever male is in a scene. At times, he is me in a sense. There is also a part of porn that is strictly visual though. A hot girl can make up for a lot of faults all-around. As long as the guy doesn't talk too much, treat the girl cruel or too rough, doesn't have erection problems, and can generally fuck well, I don't usually have any problems with him. [Link]
