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?



Always interesting when discussing porn and someone immediately tells on themselves.
Like this isn’t the 1980s, you can can watch the only fans of a trans person masturbating, no one’s forcing you to click “muscle man destroys that bussy” again.
“For straight men sex is about power and dominance” okay, cool we’re just going to generalize about whole demographics now. Go on, say something about asian drivers of some shit. Go biggot it up elsewhere with this stuff.
Also, sorry, if you’re jerking off to trans porn (which is usually people with penises): You’re NOT straight! Like get real, a dude jerking off to a dick is NOT straight it’s like the definition of being gay… And also porn is about fetishizing. That’s just how it is, everyone on earth has something hot about them. That called being human.
We’re all just intelligent animals, at best this conversation is two birds chirping at each other… And most people aren’t even clicking trans categories. This isn’t most “straight” men. It’s a small minority.
What’s more trying to villify them just represses these closetted queers and self-hating Republicans more. Just accept them. It stops them being so evil if we can help them stop self-hating.
…and what about BDSM anyways? Why is that porn okay if you’re so freaked out about some trans person playing sub for their partner whilst some queer guy pretending to be straight sits on the cuck chair hating himself.
It’s a fantasy world. Let people have/do their weird ass porn, don’t pretend that it has some existential crisis of morality attached (so pearl clutching). I love it how sex positivity and being against kink shaming immediately gets thrown at the window when someone starts imposing their morality.
People having their little favourites in quiet desperation - who gives a shit? It’s part of how people fall in love develope empathy for people they claim to see as dirty… Have self realizations about who they are. Who humanity is. It’s happened throughout time.
Humans who can’t accept human patterns are hilarious. Anyways, I’ll let you get back to your morality panic parade or whatever this is. Don’t forget you’re saving the planet! …such a self-worth turn on!
P.S Just remember that thing you like, whatever it is - is dirty and wrong too… And makes you orgasm for some reason. That’s how sex work. You’re just participating in the species culture in your own way. It all comes down to the same thing - engorged overstimulation. But maybe you’re having trouble none of my business.
*The one valid complaint here might be that Capitalism and anti-trans cultures force trans people into porn. But that’s a problem with Capitalism… Which I’ll note: you didn’t mention. Redistributive politics should outrank recognition (identity) politics. Because it’s the true cause of most of what people complain about. In closing: complaining about human nature and historical/sexual/cultural patterns kinda silly, complaining about Capitalism… Is more likely to actually produce something that meaningful changes things.
