Do you like shemales, or find them disgusting. If so why? Do you consider them freaks, a threat, a curiosity, etc? What do you think of men who like shemales? Fellas feel free to contribute as well.
I don't have any personal attraction. I would prefer to watch women on women, men on men, or women with men. I'm not disgusted or curious. I'm disinterested. It probably wouldn't turn me off, but I doubt that it would turn me on. I think that heterosexually oriented men who enjoy watching them are unsatisfied with the artificial or absent female response to sex. It is impossible to know, sometimes even first-hand, if a woman is having an orgasm - or even a reasonably good time. It's generally possible to detect signs of arousal and orgasm in males. Someone who looks 90% female demonstrating unarguable signs of sexual pleasure is probably very arousing for some guys. As for all the rest, well, some people think things are kinky or weird and that gets them off. I've never understood that. Humans having sexual congress is just humans having sexual congress - no matter how much surgery or hormone treatment they've had.
I'm disgusted by them. I don't have any malice towards them or men who like them, but my natural response is disgust. I think they're weird and completely unattractive. Of course, I'm a straight female and that may have something to do with it. It does perplex me that the market for shemales seems to be growing. Especially when so many so-called straight men are fans. I don't want to make anyone feel bad, but I can't help but question the sexual orientation of someone who finds them arousing. It's a mystery to me. And honestly, I get terribly irritated when I'm confronted by shemale porn in my search for what gets me off. I can't find Nacho Vidal clips without seeing some trashy shemale anymore. That ticks me off.
I'm not a research psychologist, so these are just my observations and theories. I think there are several reasons why shemale videos appeal to straight men: 1) "straight" isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. I hear people defined as "straight" the way people used to describe being "white", i.e. if you have a drop of non-white blood in you anywhere in your ancestry, you're not white. Same thing with being straight: if you notice or admire anything on a guy, you're not straight. Bullshit to all of it. That's particularly true in fantasies, where you can let your mind go free even if you don't want to act it out in real life. Fantasizing rough sex doesn't make you a sadist or a masochist. 2) I think guys who would not even call themselves bi-curious can still find shemales interesting. From puberty, a guy's cock becomes the center of his universe and stays that way for decades (if not the rest of his life). Most cultures hide it away. It becomes something mysterious and powerful and fascinating, and it's reasonable that you'd become interested in others, not just your own. But if you're straight, you're not attracted to men. You don't find guys, hairy chests, testosterone, and so forth, a turn-on at all. But you take a beautiful shemale and you get all the things you find attractive: a pretty face, hair, boobs, ass, legs--plus she has the *one* thing you want from a guy. It's like having the whole package. You get all the good stuff and none of the bad. 3) For those of us who like lesbian movies (and most straight guys I know do), it adds that little missing element. I think that's why strap-ons show up in a lot of lesbian videos, but it's artificial and almost never looks right. Plus you're watching it and thinking that it's fun for the catcher, but the pitcher is just getting a some exercise. With a shemale and a working cock, you get a lesbian scene but you can imagine that both of them are into it. 4) The big drawback with shemales is that most of them aren't very attractive. Plastic surgery is getting better but there's still bad results even when you're doing minor work with someone who's already female. So you get a few who look convincing, some who just look like guys in drag, but a lot of people in the middle who don't look quite male or female, and the result is usually scary. In regular porn, the less attractive performers tend to be filtered out because there are so many to chose from. But shemales are still somewhat rare and it's difficult to find them. I think the growing interest reflects the overall upgrade in quality, but it's still got a long way to go. 25 years from now, or if digital animation gets good enough, you'll find even more of it because you'll get someone who looks like Raquel Welch with a cock, instead of Sandra Bernhardt...
I feel that a trangender person has to go through alot to get the body she/he feels comfortable and right in. But Shemales? What is their motivation? Genuine conflict or just showing off how freaky they are? For what it's worth I tend to feel sorry for them, and that is not sexy at all. Men who like them? Bi-curious and all jayo just wrote.
Why question? Ordinarily I wouldn't unless it was a man who claimed to be "as straight as they come," as they like to put it. If you were "as straight as they come," you wouldn't be turned on by a cock. End of story.
true enough. i personally find the concept of sexuality labels -- straight, gay, bi -- to be fairly restrictive. most people treat it as a mould and try to fit into it. that's not how it works at all.
To each their own. I don't get into it, it doesn't gross me out. For every person it does disgust there will be several that absolutely love it. I don't think shemale porn has anything whatsoever to do with your sexuality though. I work in a porn shop, we sell shemale vids, books, and mags to a wide variety of customers, many including m/f couples. It seems to be a very popular niche in the adult world. There are also some very gorgeous shemales out there.
She-male porn is one of the most popular genres in my shop, and all kinds of people rent and buy it. Personally, I find nothing erotic about the sight of a she-male. However, I am appreciative on an aesthetic level of fine T-Girl specimens. Each week when we process DVDs, my co-workers and I gather round and rate the she-males whether they could pass as women, and whether they're pretty. Most often, however, we find ourselves pitying them for the hack jobs some plastic surgeons have done on them. I've tried to understand the sexual appeal of she-males, but I just can't. I suppose it's one of those things that either turns you on, or it doesn't. [spelling] Edited by - pagoda on 2/24/2009 12:29:34 AM
Well, I out of trying to be respectful, I wouldn't refer to them as "Freaks" but they sure do nothing for me. As Kimi says I'd much rather watch women on women, men on men, or women with men. As far as their appeal to men goes I have absolutely NO idea why a man would find them appealing.

Yeah I find this kind of strange too. He seems to be obsessed with them now. Anyway, this is my opinion about your thoughts on why guys who claim to be straight like she-males. Even though I've never seen this, there is one thing that turns me on. Seeing a she-male fuck and biological female is a turn on for me. Not really so much the visual aspect of it but the mental/psychological aspect. The turn on is seeing this totally hot bio female that is such a trashy slutty whore sexual freak, that she'll even fuck a she-male. It's the tabooness of it. Of course, this only works with a totally hot female pornstar for me. The idea of this is not appealing at all if it was with some completely over weight ugly person. Don't know if that makes any sense but the best way I can articulate it.
I'm a pansexual woman and I like transwomen, although I have to admit that I tend not to really enjoy the porny transwoman look (either Brazilian or Asian chicks, or girls who have had so much surgery they're just not appealing to me). To be fair, though, I dislike porny cisgender women, too. I just don't like the tanned, bleached-blonde, silicone-filled look. Trans porn tends to be hit or miss. As I've said, it's hard to find trans stars who fit my criteria in terms of looks, and then it's hard to find girls who can be and stay hard (I understand the realities of transsexuality and being on hormones, but when I watch someone get fucked in the ass, I want to see a hard-on; it's just something I need in my porn). I also like watching transwomen with girls, and that's rather more of a rarity. I don't find them threatening- please, why would I? All porn is full of fantasy people doing fantasy things, first off, so feeling threatened by porn is just silly, and secondly, I feel more pressure to compete with cisgender porn stars than I do with T-girls- at least I know that I'm in a totally different category than the ladies with penises. I don't think poorly of men who like transwomen, but I do wish more of them were educated and respectful- I wish we could stop using terms like "tranny" and "shemale" and "chick with dick", and that they knew a bit about transsexuality and gender dysphoria, and that they be aware of the concept of "chasers" and that they probably are one. It's amazing how many guys there are who think that transwomen should be happy when a guy objectifies her as a penis on a hot girl. It sucks. In other words, I like transwomen and wish they were in more and better porn (especially indie/alt porn!).
All i have to say is each to their own. Personally it's not a big turn on for me, but its not a turn off either. (something has to be pretty disgusting to do that). I get turned on by guys and girls, and also lesbian porn, but thats just me. If you like shemales, then fine, its your choice so go enjoy. At the end of the day, as long as people involved in porn are happy to be there, then nobody gets hurt, then there is nothing wrong. Smile everyone! x
You can go ahead and question my sexual orientation. I readily admit there's some part of me that craves cock. But at the same time, as a guy who basically prefers women and has no reason to lie about it, I can tell you that (at least for some of us) sexual orientation is far from a simple matter of one or the other. At various times, I've found myself attracted to Big, hairy, muscular men Sissified Crossdressers (That is, obvious men dressed in women's clothing, jewelry and makeup) Full transexuals (Some of them almost indistinguishable from the real thing) Very feminine women Very hairy, androgynous women Lesbians (Real "butch" lesbians. Not the fake porn ones). And it's not just that they're women. The fact that they're lesbians turns me on even more. My orientation is all over the place. I can't explain it but this is just how I am. When I'm watching a porn scene with a man and a woman, I can (and often do) jerk off to both of them at the same time. It's usually a little more tilted towards the woman but the fact that the guy is turning me on too is undeniable. So you see it's not so simple. I'm not sure how a man would consider himself completely straight if he gets off on shemales but I also don't see why anyone cares. If he has to have a label, let him choose his own, at least. If it makes him more comfortable to be called straight, why not? Edited by - randomprecision on 5/9/2009 8:18:51 AM
well hello there everyone I am if you're on your own kinky bisexual open minded submissive bottom guy who is for years been attracted to shemale porn is a streak and buy outdoor and you know I'm kind of porn for me images of chemo very nice turn on for me don't give me wrong I love you now having sex with women and you are going down and then going down on me but when are used to do escort service in my 20s checking in I think Wyatt Wyatt getting are having anal sex more so when they're Peter trading me as much as I do like it now I don't wanna line going down on the moon dishwasher and if I do now and the same with a woman I find it very much a turn on mic on the poster said you know I like to be in a woman or two women or two women and one man or two men bisexual type situation gangbangs only one time was I able to be in relationship with a gay man I was able to generation with him know him so yeah I don't want to hear someone is viewpoints on shemale her men that like them are men that want to be a female dog myself I was thinking about it for so long is this I got it truly suck on your shit or get off the pot anyway glad I saw this topic and Alexia reason water responses to your question and hopefully some people respond my buyer on
One who really excites me was Thays Schiavinato. The little squeals that she makes while being fucked are so hot. I prefer the ones that are very feminine and have small cocks. Petite ladyboys are a real turnon for me. They must have natural tits, no silicon. I watch shemale porn probably 25% of the time when viewing porn. I still overwhelmingly prefer a nice hairy pussy and butthole on a hot girl.
I think it's important to approach this topic with respect for everyone's identity and preferences. People are diverse, and so are attractions-what matters most is mutual consent and genuine connection. Trans women (often referred to in outdated terms like "shemales") deserve the same dignity and respect as anyone else.
As for men who are attracted to them-there's nothing wrong or strange about that. Attraction is personal, and it doesn't need to be judged. What really matters is being kind, open-minded, and respectful to others, regardless of how different their experiences or preferences may be.
Hello all, new to this chat, and eager to participate in these discussions. So I happen to be a guy who likes trans porn, as well as having sex with trans women. I'm old enough to understand that labels regarding sexuality are misplaced and over blown. I have evolved over the years, and have found that my sexual appetites as I get older. I don't need to find a particular category for what I am, I just like what I like. I am personally more into straight up bottom and top trans porn, with the she male being the bottom, and the guy doing them. The idea and sight of it turn me on. I don't like shemales doing each other, or women- just not speaking to me. It's just a lizard brain thing that requires no real explanation other than you find it hot. Plus I absolutely LOVE anal sex, so watching them take it is just hot af for me
