... is having some kind of standard for the guys in it. Not saying everyone needs to look like Nacho, but they don't have to be butt-ugly either! There are so many craggy faces, sloppy bellies and below-average genitalia, it almost makes it seem that loserdom is a job requirement. Most guys DO NOT look homeless, and a lot of them can see their dick over their belly too. Wouldn't hurt porn to find a few of them.
Good points, I personally can't stand balding guys with comb-overs. I saw that once, and couldn't finish the scene. I don't mind guys with a little gut, because well, lots of guys have guts, but if they can't see their dick, then get to a gym!
Genitalia is a category that not many people can improve on, and as long as the guys keep getting it up, and off, then they'll be around, 'til younger guys cum along.
Tell me about it. Pornographers, listen up! You know it's bad when even the guys start complaining, he he.
A little downsizing in the dick dept. wouldn't hurt, and would allow an influx of better looking guys, but I think we're probably in the minority on this issue. Porn seems to hire the same few guys who can deliver the wood, and that's all many people wanna see.
I can think of 2 issues that this would create a problem with.
1) Many consumers like to see the girls stretched, particularly in Gonzo, downsizing probably wouldn't hurt in couples flicks and the milder features, but it would take some enjoyment out for the more hardcore fans.
2) Theres a practical reason!! Theres got to be enough room to get a camera in there AND still screw the gals, so big dicks really are a bit of a requirement in that aspect.
I never used to really care about the guys, but over the years I've developed some sympathy with this view.
I just received a copy of Assault that Ass #2, and obviously I'd paid more attention to the girls when I chose it. On looking at the geezers on the cast list, I hardly felt like opening the wrapper.
(As an aside, why are RLD's discs always sealed on the side so the cellophane wrapper sticks to the box? That's really annoying.)
my wifes only complaint in porn is the ugly guys! yeah better looking guys would definatly help lure the females in our lifes into enjoying porn more. why alienate a potential audience?
Umm...in objecting to "under-average genitalia," I meant undersized and/or underinflated. Huge can be a mild plus, but like I said, it'd be enough just to have normal-looking guys with normal-looking dicks--which, by the way, can look almost lost if they're competing with rolls of belly flab. Even if a dick isn't supposed to be the point, you're going to see it. Being that it's at center stage, it shouldn't be softening up, let alone be needle-like, shaped like a "J" or with suspicious red blotches that could be sores! Size question aside, it'd be enough just to see less of this.Um, I'm not getting this. I kinda see how you'd want the guy in general to be smaller for this reason, but not why his wang would have to be bigger. Could be obvious, but I'm lost. Can you explain?
Its like watching dirty debutantes...Ed Powers seems to get the hottest girls imaginable right before they hit it big, but sometimes its hard to watch, not just because he is one ugly mofo...but he is annoying too.
We seem to go round and round with this topic, but the real problem is seen in the discussion above: some want big dicks, some want small dicks; some want "good-looking" guys, some want "average-looking guys"; some want them to "go to the gym!", others "don't mind a little gut". One poster here thinks Nacho is hot, someone in another thread thinks Nacho looks like a pit bull.
THERE IS NO STANDARD FOR GOOD LOOKING GUYS.
Right at this moment, there is another thread going about the pretty boys of (straight) porn. I myself have asked posters to explain what they individually think is hot in a guy's physical characteristics, but got little response. I'll try it again now (see Polls).
There are a lot of straight porn guys, and I challenge anyone to give me a reasonable description of physical "hotness" that I cannot find a suitable match for. I've seen guys in porn that look like doppelgangers of "hottie" celebrities like Tom Cruise and Andy Garcia. I, who pays less attention to "hotness" and more attention to sexual performance, cock girth and cumshot explosiveness, find myself taking note of the "prettiness" of guys like Frank Gunn, Lex, Julian, Brian Pumper, Omar, and (not a suckup) Jules Jordan. I think our thinking about this topic would be more fruitful if we asked "What straight porn guy do you think is hot?"
Sorry fastforward, I think I may have taken it the wrong way... what I meant was that for example an undersized penis would have problems with certain positions (e.g. Pile Driver, DP), hell if it was really small they might even have problems with positions like reverse cowgirl. But I stand corrected.

A weight has been lifted of my shoulders. I have confessed in the "Male Performer of the Week" series that my sense of male looks is confused at best, but that doesn't matter anymore. Anytime I pick a "bad" performer for the series, I can point to the magic words of SueR. Thank you Sue, I owe you a big one.
beauty as they say is in the eye of the beholder. im sure someone somewhere considers ron jeremy to be one hot guy! although most of us know the difference between a troll and a prince. let me flip the standard question slightly. is there a standard for good looking girls in porn?
Uh, his mama? That's kinda what I mean...(see below)Dunno, but there does seem to be minimum requirements: Look like you work out at least sometimes. Bathe regularly. Shave consistently. Tend to conspicious blemishes.
That's not unreasonable for girls, and it shouldn't be for guys either. OK, does it matter whether the guy looks like Nacho? Or Mike South? Maybe, but what matters A LOT MORE is that he not look like he smells bad.
