Physical appearance of male talent?

gorillahung Member 20 Posts 11/12	Posted - May 5 2016 : 1:10PM Are there any other straight men that care about the looks of the male performer? I think this factor is overlooked in porn. All they want is to put a guy on screen who has a huge cock regardless of how repulsive looking he is. When I see a scene where the guy is just downright ugly, I turn it off. I've never made it through a full scene with Ron Jeremy. [Link]
Canadian_Cindy Deactivated User 1102 Posts 2/15	Posted - May 5 2016 : 1:12PM Of course it matters.... you won't get too many guys admitting that though because they somehow fear they will get the "gay bug" if they admit they spent a few seconds looking at a naked male. So, it's one of those things that everyone does but nobody admits to :) Now, let's get ready for all the replies saying I am nuts and "I am straight and I don't care what the guy looks like, that's gay!"

LCF All-Star Member Non Prevalebunt! 10364 Posts 1/05	Posted - May 5 2016 : 1:58PM Basically all men look ugly to me , still there's a difference between ugly and unwatchable monster , funny fact I recently discovered that some of those I tagged unwatchable are considered attractive by many girls. Anyway preferring passionate scenes a good looking guy would add to the scene any woman kissing or being overly excited over a really unattractive man is as bad as an overacted orgasm, just fake.

Rimblobs Member Let the girls rim! 394 Posts 2/12	Posted - May 5 2016 : 2:21PM I'm a romantic straight guy, and to be honest, for me it matters very much. I'm tired of seeing these Chad White and Danny Mountain type of guys everywhere. Sure, they look great, but it's boring to see them fucking those hot girls all the time. An average or "uglier" man would add an interesting contrast, and interesting layer to the scene. Porn meant to be about fantasies - people in them shouldn't need reason or common sense to have sex with each other, especially not in gonzo style. Also, in story-oriented movies or scenes, it would be awesome to see wilder and more "raw" situations in this regard - like a very hot girl meets an older, uglier man whose ugly wife terrorises him daily. His kindness and sad fate would induce a mixture of different but emotions in the girl (feeling sorry + wanting to express and drive her flowering sexuality to the top; with negating all the bad things in the man's life that another woman ruined etc I ain't no psychologist) and she would fuck with this man and let all his sexual dreams coming true (kissing, toe sucking, rimjob, whatever he would like to try). The next day she would bring over her GF with daddy issues, and so on... (I'd pay a thousand dollars to see such a movie with Lana Rhoades and a similiar girl) This was just 1 of the million wonderful scenarios that could be a big hit but require a much less appealing male talent. Always wondered why can't I see fat, old bosses getting blowjobs and asses to fuck in Brazzers and Naughty America scenes... would be much more better than all these macho clichés we can see in mainstream porn today. Just my 2 cents. [Link]

Click to expand What do you mean by "ugly"? I don't know how to reconcile your two sentences. In one you state that all men are ugly, and in the second you write about how "a good looking guy would add to the scene." [Link]

Click to expand No I meant that the question of the topic is almost meaningless to me, however as I said there are those I can't even watch and a passionate scene with them looks too much fake to me and I stress on the personal perception about it Edited by - LCF on 5/5/2016 6:06:31 PM [Link]
2bollocks Senior Member 3587 Posts 3/10	Posted - May 5 2016 : 6:29PM I prefer them to be unattractive, even ugly. Why? Because then it makes what the girl is doing extra nasty somehow. It's all just fantasy. [Link]
Slice Backhand Member 99 Posts 8/10	Posted - May 5 2016 : 10:30PM I don't see anyone anywhere near Ron Jeremy levels of bad these days, who are you even talking about? Maybe in Japanese porn where creepy looking older guys can show up. Edited by - Slice Backhand on 5/5/2016 10:32:24 PM [Link]
a9nostic Senior Member 1056 Posts 8/08	Posted - May 5 2016 : 10:49PM I'd say it's more charisma or magnetism than attractiveness that matters to me. I just like to see the girl being in to the guy. But then again, there are probably two or three cases where the male was so disgusting I couldn't watch the scene even though it was with a girl that I liked. [Link]
JackSparrow Deactivated User 7235 Posts 7/11	Posted - May 6 2016 : 12:25AM look is always different for anyone,whats ugly for one dude must not be ugly for the other dude etc. but almost all guys are really in trained shape and beeing a male talent is sure not easy,stamina is important and as a sport guy myself ,i not see many so called fat dudes with huge condition or stamina,theres a reason all good athletes have many trained muscles. Besides von Swine i only see muscle guys in porn expect the older dudes like Evan Stone or St.Croix but they are not out of shape either just not so muscle over done like some youngsters. also everyone here has his own kind of watchable and unwatchable list but some not so watchable guys often paired with females you like,so its hard to avoid plus some stuff shot in style someone may dislike,like me with POV. enough for now,maybe more later.

NomnoMnOm Member 379 Posts 5/15	Posted - May 6 2016 : 1:18AM It was hot watching Phoenix Marie and co. banging the fat nerdy kid from Project X. But usually I prefer the male talent to be good looking and clean looking enough to make it believable that his female counterparts are attracted to him. [Link]

fredgee Deactivated User 350 Posts 12/13	Posted - May 6 2016 : 10:37AM It is not so much the looks it is most gay males do not look natural having sex with a woman. Don't want to call out any one site but there was a scene with one of the best looking women in porn recently it would have been a classic had they used hetero males. Instead the scene came off as boring and unrealistic. I remember saying in another thread it seems like they find these guys at a temp agency. [Link]

fredgee Deactivated User 350 Posts 12/13	Posted - May 6 2016 : 11:38AM MOD: Your assertion that the straight adult movie industry is filled with gay men and only super heterosexuals like you can see it is your conspiracy theory. This is your third warning in this thread alone on this. Either cease taking threads off track with your conspiracy theory or the option for you to cease will be taken from you.

Steven_999 Member 81 Posts 4/16	Posted - May 6 2016 : 7:15PM I would say that how the male talent looks at least somewhat matters, if he's too ugly and unkempt then it ruins the scene and makes it tough to watch. I absolutely agree with what you said with Ron Jeremy currently. The man is in his 60s and while he's a legendary performer and still does scenes, I really think he should retire from performing sexually on camera and stick to non-sex roles. Seeing him pop up in a non-sex role in an adult feature can literally make the movie for me, as he's a decent actor and can actually be pretty funny. [Link]

Click to expand you are not alone: my insta-skips benchmarks for male talent 1. Off set character issues (cant be supporting real life dregs) 2. Over the top histrionics, also including excessive talking or poorly timed/worded dirty talk(hint: just hush and let the girl handle the verbalizing) 3. Flaccid Penis, automatic skip, and I dont mean curved dick, I mean, soggy, soft, has to be guided with a hand every stroke soft 4. Being out of shape, unless girls want BBM to become a popular niche like BBW, I dont want guys walking in with beer guts or fat folds 5. Poor performers/Performers that lack self-awareness in the scene.....no chemistry will be an instant skip. Male performers that dont understand camera angles or become highly predictable become mundane quick. There are certain guys I cant watch anymore because I've noticed annoying trends they have such as covering up the girls butt with their hands during cowgirl or doggystyle because they cant handle it and have to restrict how fast/good she can work it by holding on and "guiding" her the entire sequence [Link]

mikesalami Deactivated User 1505 Posts 7/10	Posted - May 7 2016 : 8:19AM I can't say I really care how a guy looks (they don't really show their faces much anyway), but cock size and fucking style matter. Body isn't too important unless they're really overweight and their body is on show. Guys with nice or good size cocks (yes I can admit that lol) according to me are: Mark Ashley Mike Adriano Kid Jamaica Lexington Steele Rocco I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them right now. Those guys tend to do good scenes and don't fuck like crazy animals... other than Rocco. Kid Jamaica does some great scenes over at Legal Porno. [Link]
Dragon Sign Deactivated User 3381 Posts 12/13	Posted - May 7 2016 : 9:24AM I'll emphasize the importance of enthusiasm shown by the female talent. And that enthusiasm is at best an act when the dick is under the porn average. If I want to see acts I'll turn to mainstreamshit. [Link]

cormac Senior Member 1093 Posts 1/14	Posted - May 7 2016 : 10:32AM It's the super-ego of some of the male actors that puts me off almost all straight porn. A good example is Nacho Vidal who, it seems to me, thinks it's all about him and that he's more important than the girls. I might watch more straight stuff if the actors would realise that 90-99% of the viewers tune in to see the girls and prefer the men to keep a low profile. I don't see any threads in Star Crossed about the guys. [Link]

Float_my_boat All-Star Member 1311 Posts 6/09	Posted - May 8 2016 : 5:35AM Although I'm nothing to look at, I do tend to prefer guys that are good looking (in my opinion) and are fit. The (apparently) recently retired Mark Ashley (not considered a "pretty boy" but) I liked because he was fit, but had some of those qualities I like: he knew many of us were watching for the lady (and not him), seemed to appreciate his co-star and seemed to really enjoy his "job." I also enjoy Mick Blue, Michael Stefano and Ramon Nomar. There are some qualities that are probably my prejudices. I find one other performer (I'm not naming) seems more interested in making himself look good; those oddball angles with extreme wide angle lenses to make his penis appear even bigger. He seems to be a decent guy, but I find one other (not naming) guy to just strike me as "creepy" in some of his dvds. I did post sometime back I preferred the much less well known (but according to his friend, Lily Cade now retired) Eric Swiss. He seems (and apparently is) a pretty normal guy and from what scenes of his I've seen, a pretty good actor for a porn guy. [Link]

Click to expand Let me explain... Click to expand That exact moment in that movie marked the first time (and one of only a handful of times in total) that I ever said to myself "I'd fuck that guy." That said, yes the appearance of the male talent makes a difference. Ignoring their ability to perform, technique and acting ability, their looks can be a deal breaker. There is one popular performer that is active now that I just can't bear to watch because of his appearance. Everything else is fine he's just too gangly among other things. But to me a guy isn't going to get bonus points for looking extra good. It's pretty much a pass/fail assessment for me. He's either acceptable in appearance or not. (But I still expect guys to be able to perform well and not detract from the female talent) But seriously, I would totally fuck Brad Pitt. Edit: Of all people, Ron White actually has some pertinent comments on this very topic. https://youtu.be/mY711HJK7pg Edited by - murdock on 5/8/2016 9:43:11 PM [Link]

Of those you mention, Michael Stefano may has been the most attractive actor in the industry, as well as make love in his scenes more than fuck. Scott Nails, Ramon Nomar or Lex Steele were hot too.
