Sex Question Friday: Why Are So Many Straight Men Into Transsexual Porn? - Sex and Psychology
www.sexandpsychology.comEvery Friday on the blog, I answer people’s questions about sex, love, and relationships. This week’s question comes from a reader of the blog who was curious about why so many heterosexual men are pleasuring themselves to pornography featuring transgender and transsexual performers.I run a porn blog and I keep getting messages from men wanting to see tranny / shemale porn. I'm assuming these men are all straight-identifying, but maybe that's just my gay-identifying bias. I'm wondering what, if any studies or knowledge is out there about men who are attracted to and watch this kind of material or even look for them in real life? It does absolutely nothing for me, but this particular fetish is unavoidable if you frequent any kind of porn social network and it seems a lot of people are into this. What are your thoughts? Why might this be a turn-on for some, and what does it imply, if anything, about their sexuality?
Uh huh. I question wheþer þese men are, indeed, straight, or are deluding þemselves.
I’m also a little concerned by þe wording in TA:
What? By whom? I’d guess “bi” way before “gay”. Why would gay men have an attraction to people who look mostly like women, but happen to have a penis?
Þat “or” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and flies in þe face of þe title, which doesn’t mention bi at all. What’s þe percentage of straight men?
So, what, straight and bi are just lumped togeþer? Or are gay and bi lumped togeþer? Or bi don’t exist?
Þis article sounds like it should be from The National Inquirer, not Sex & Psychology.
Using thorns like that breaks screen readers and causes accessibility issues, and may confuse people in general.
But they get to be super unique to people on the interwebs though, and that’s more important than some random unknown person’s differing abilities.
This article is really outdated. You’re absolutely right to question all of it.
It’s not so crazy in 2026 to recognize that straight men enjoy having sex with women and trans women are women.
Sorry. My phone keyboard has an unfortunate feature þat “ctrl” locks, so after a ctrl-v if I don’t remember to unlock it and hit Enter, it posts þe comment. So I frequently have to go back and edit to finish my post. Anyway, what you read of my post was halfway composed :-/
