I was watching this movie and male talent with long hair was distracting. I've often pondered how they should appear in movies.

The industry standard is just a cock and I believe that is standard for a reason. In special cases I am ok with handsome male having some screen time but if his presence overpowers the female model he is working with then the production has failed.

For me its very important to see both on screen. Male/Female. I don't really like POVs. But Tastes are different ;-)

^ and ^^ I'm sort of a mix between your positions, and it also depends on my own mood at the time and the kind of scene. I'm not a big fan of POV scenes where the male really isn't part of the scene, except for the obvious bits, but I don't like it when a male model tries to overshadow the female model. I have male models that I like, but that's mostly because they know not to upstage their female co-star. Most viewers aren't watching for the male model (yes, I know some are) so the female is the main draw. The male should help her and the camera connect so she is shown in the best way possible. Males aren't exactly part of the set, but for me, it isn't about them.

There are scenes where the male does need to step up a bit more, though this is just my opinion. If there is a scene setup that requires dialogue, then the male needs to be able to handle that. For example, in a stepdaughter scene the guy has to be able to convincingly play the stepfather. For me though, it's less important that he be able to play that role than it is that he LOOKS the role. I don't want to see a stepdad who is just a few years older than his stepdaughter. But once the sex starts, he needs to fade back and showcase the female model.

It's the female star that attracts me to any scene. Nevertheless if the scene involves a male performer I don't like then I won't watch it.

My reason for disliking a male performer generally boils down to not buying into their schtick. Sometimes that goes to their entitled on-screen persona (Deen, Ferrara). Other times it's their tedious one-note acting (London, Nixon). I rarely watch POV because, although the female performer in the scene often works hard to make the situation credible, invariably the male talent phones it in while he lies back waiting for the BJ. The male talent's looks don't really matter to me.

As opposed to female talent, where I may change my mind about a performer and start liking them after being not into them so much (recent example: Anna Claire Clouds), when a male makes it onto my No List they stay there.

Codey Steele and Isaiah Maxwell are excellent. David Lee can be variable, but also amusing. The Team Skeet 'Dads' are mostly tolerable, although there is always a chance they might out stay their welcome.

same. And that's the reason I hate close ups, or camera work that tries to hide the face of the guy in the scene. Also, I like male performers who show a personality and are into what they are doing, the passive dude who seems to be there just for the money who doesn't do a lot, doesn't talk and shows no passion it's definitely not what I like to see. Even being straight, I think that the guy (and the camera work showing also him and not just the woman) are crucial for what I consider a good scene.

Was the long hair distracting or getting in the way? I agree with your first post but at the same time he has to look good enough where I think it's safe to assume the others genuinely want to do the scene with him because he is attractive it paints the intimacy better but if it's like Ron Jeramy or Max Hardcore where they are just physically and mentally gross it's a lot harder.

Much like in amateur porn nothing is more annoying to me than a guys who's dick is smaller than mine and getting not just popular but that crazy hot chick he's having sex with, especially if it were a POV (I get the whole girls don't need bigger than 4" thing that's popular rite now but I'm a size queen 🤷‍♂️ especially with oral) so it's honestly a jealously annoyance just as looping back to fat gross slob

Then there's the in between, my biggest turn off are guys who are handsome but talk too damn much, the best sound in the world is a woman in (un-exaggerated) euphoria and when guys muffle it with their egos or directing (if they aren't the director) it ruins the whole thing for me. I have a severe love hate with Marco Banderas on this subject, he's phenomenal to watch he's gorgeous, great dick, great energy, gets the girls going good, but good god he doesn't shut up and plenty of scenes the girls look more annoyed than me. But I guess this loops back to the "Just a cock" standard

A male ballroom dancer learns he's there to present a frame for the lady. In a show competition, his principal purpose is to present the lady. Now, he can certainly flub that performance all on his own. In 20th century mainstream cinema, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly emerged as stars in their own right... but they never outshone Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse.

Speaking solely for myself and not as some model porn consumer: I am a straight man who is into porn for the women. I'm here to see women's bodies in the heat of passion. From my perspective, most all-lesbian scenes or productions, and a vast majority of all-solo scenes or productions, are far sexier by leaps and bounds than the average girl/boy ("FM") scene. There are some male performers who understand that their maximum attainable role is to be the Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, or even Donald O'Connor, of their productions. They present the women, and if they do that well, then we appreciate them, or at least I do.

If we were to film an everyday, random FM couple having sex the way they normally do, there's a good chance everything the man would do would obstruct the camera view of everything we straight men want to see. What's more, the guy could start acting all controlling and domineering, paying more attention to the impact he's having on his partner than the position he would be portraying in the scene. Which leads to this conclusion: If the professional male performer in an FM or FFM or FFFM scene were to act "natural," the way most guys act with girls in bed, there'd be nothing worth watching.

Decades ago, I was dating a girl who was as much into porn as I am. One day, I asked her straight out, "What do you see in men's bodies that's anywhere near as fantastic as what I see in yours?" She thought about it, then said, "Well, there's a hard cock. . . " Then she thought longer before saying, "I guess I don't really know." Men, isn't that right?

If the male performer can be a gentleman, even if he's there to be fairly aggressive, then he can fulfill his role respectfully, and I can give him credit. But all too often, the female performer can bring herself to orgasm, or have another great female performer do it, far better and with far more grace than any man.

I truly do appreciate what a performer like L.T. or Erik Everhard brings to the screen. They make genuine love to the woman, and they stay in their lanes. That's what I want from a male performer. Guys, if a dildo can do the job better than you can, consider going home and practicing.
