If a man doesn't perform, it ruins the whole scene. Women can fake orgasms and are replaceable from one faker to the next. Overall, I think the men are much more important than given credit for.

For me men are just as important mostly because I have a pretty big anti-guys list, a list of guys I will never watch because they ruin scenes for me.

Men can be replaced in porn with toys and/or stunt dicks hopped up on viagra. Hell, in POV porn, the man himself isn't even visible...just his cock. So no...men are 100% expendable in porn. Just the way the feminists want them to be.
Which brings up the question...why do feminists hate porn?

There have been so many threads started about the underappreciated male perfomer that I'm beginning to think, "Hmmm, maybe they're not underappreciated."

I think there are some directors and porn fans who downgrade the importance of the man in porn scenes. But I think alot of male buyers do actually look at the cast list for their favorite male performers. Overall, I think each person in a scene is important.

I find it really hard to believe that anyone who likes straight porn could say this being completely serious. Sure. Men aren't necessary in lesbian porn by design. G/G porn isn't necessarily lesbian porn, either. Two girls pawing each other and poking each other with vibrators isn't always hot.
Funny though. I probably watched porn for 5 years before I realized the male talent was more important than the female talent. I always wondered why I wasn't enjoying it very much. I thought a naked woman was all porn needed to be. I thought toys were fine. Fact of the matter is....what's the point of a big, hot pink piece of plastic? How sexy is that? Not very, says I.
When you see a scene in which the male does a really bad job, it only makes the importance of the male talent that much more obvious. A guy who's doing his job right will blend right into the scene. You won't wish he'd do this differently or that differently because he's doing everything just right. Deceptively simple. That guy is rare and he should be acknowledged and treated as an important instrument in the symphony that makes a flawless scene.

This has been discussed any number of times in other threads but I still find it an interesting topic.
I definitely think male talent is important to putting out a good scene. Maybe not quite as important as high-level female talent, but pretty darn close. Close enough, in fact, that bad male talent can ruin a scene.
What's interesting to me is that I see the availability of strong male talent as kind of limiting the growth of the industry. There are only so many solid dicks available, and those dicks can only ejaculate a limited number of times per day. So if you look at some of the lesser gonzo companies, that's where you see the Jay Ashleys and Alex Sanders of the world.

men are important but in a different way.
No male porn star is going to make me buy a movie because he's in it but i will refuse to buy a movie if a certain male porn star is in it(steve french for example).
male's don't make the scene but they sure can ruin a scene.

If you look at the "hot" videos out in the world; Rocco Steffredi stands at the top for making a scene that is tops in "heat and passion". The women are tops in terms of looks and are brought out in the scene by Rocco's presents.
Now that he is directing; you see it in the ploy scenes and specific conduct that is in his head. It is pretty extreme.
Conversely, you can have a "hot" woman with bad directing, camera work and it is dull and not lively; that is boring.

In summary, if there is the right actors on both sides; along with a passion director; it is a very decent video.
I think the director really is the main person that makes or breaks the production; not the performers so much; althorough they have to work together with chemistry.

I agree with HarryWild. Sure, the male performers are important, but I think a lot of times people don't consider the influence that the people behind the camera and in the edit bay have. Consider the difference between a scene with Rocco in a Vivid feature and a scene with Rocco in an Evil Angel movie. I'm not saying either are better, I'm just saying there is a difference, even if they have the same guy. So unless a particular male has ruined a scene for a viewer in several different movies from different directors and studios, I've always thought vows to never watch a scene with male X in it because once male X totally ruined a scene for that viewer by doing Y could be blaming the wrong person. Maybe male X really isn't into Y, but the director gave them the choice of either doing Y or not working that day.

These days,man are just as Important and now the Director has just become a factor too.
A Film may have a hot dude and chick,but if the Director is Clueless then the scene can be easily Butcherd.
I have passed Julia Ann's flicks mostly coz they are done by Wicked.
Now I will definately check her out if she does any joints with either Van Styles or Jules or Evila Angel.
The Difference is enormous.
So its not just Good enough to have only a Hot Chick,to make good porn.
You will now need a Combination of Chick,Dude,Company and Director.
This is what fans are looking for these days.

The only place where male performers are more important than the females is n the gay movies...simply because they ain't there.Unless they happen to be directing or editing the film....(of the record has anyone any idea as to whether any female director has been the captain of the ship in a gay scene movie.That shud make interesting viewing.Gay porn from the female perspective.I'm certain I've seen male directors call the shots in lesbion movies and have done a great job 2.
Coming back I seriously think that the only place a male performer can be replaced without his presence being missed is in the she-male genre of movies or in the lesbian shoots.
That apart whether one acknowledges it or not males have an equal fan following even if they get step brotherly treatment when compared to the porn queens....It took Richard Mann three hard years of his career getting an odd 3 cents for every video of his viewed on the net and a piddly amount of 10 cents per DVD sold before he smashed the invisible barrier to emerge a full fledged star when he signed an exclusive contract with Hush Hush Entertainment.No wonder he was more than glad to do the swinger party circuit and service MILFS from coast to coast to build his reputation in the porn industry....
So all said and done, it ain't easy for the male stars to survive unless they can remain hard both on & off-camera.

Perhaps I'm a rarity....but....
First off, I don't find looking a guys penis anything remotely close to the word "sexy." Powerful, perhaps. Dominant, maybe. Sexy? No effing way.
Secondly, when I watch porn alone, I prefer POV porn or female solo masturbation videos, usually the latter. I'm a huge fan of FTV Girls website videos for this very reason and I seriously doubt I'm alone. I find a woman pleasuring herself INCREDIBLY sexy. I can get off on that far more than watching some sweaty steroid viagra-using freak of nature jacking off furiously on screen to come on the girls face. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I do NOT get my jollies watching other guys masturbate on film. Some porn viewers, maybe even MOST porn viewers, see no problem with it (or maybe are even aroused by it but afraid to admit it). But for me, it's FF time, and because of this I miss almost all the popshots. I read a post here about Mia Rose (one of my faves) taking a massive facial in a recent flick (Tunnel Vision maybe?) and I had even bought that DVD and watched that scene...but had to go back and re-watch it just to catch that part. It was an impressive cumshot, but I FF'd thru it originally as I do all other scenes of a guy jacking off on screen...BORING and not at all "sexy" to me.
Most of the time when I watch gonzo or couples porn, it's with my wife...she enjoys hearing the guys grunt, watching them toss the gals around, etc....so I go there with her and we watch it together and I reap the rewards of her getting turned on and wanting me to do the same to her. But by myself...no way do I want to watch a scene that focuses on the guys actions. I LOVE to watch a woman kneeling onto a suction cupped dildo, fucking herself...whether it's real enjoyment or just good acting, I get off on watching her stretch her thigh muscles, watching her face, watching her breasts bounce by her own movements as she impales herself onto the sex toy or grips it with both hands and fucks herself furiously.....whew....getting kinda worked up just typing this.
Ultimately, my focus when watching porn is on the actress. I may see a cock, I may see a toy...but all I really WANT to see is her reaction to either. I could care less about the male involved. Just not what I'm focused on during the scene. Obviously, others are. To each their own.

A good male performer should be like an umpire or referee. You know he's there but he doesn't do anything to distract you from the game or in this case the girl(s).

Rocco is a good case in point. When Rocco was performing in all his movies, I knew guys who only bought Rocco movies. No other porn movies interested them. They bought the movies because they wanted to see Rocco performing...as well as the hot women, of course.
I think many male porn viewers identify with a good-looking, solid, popular-with-the-ladies male performer. It's like the guys who hang out with the coolest dude in the club - same mentality.

If the man sucks, you notice the man. If the man is good, you only notice the girl.
