Statistically speaking, a large portion of men watch “trans” or “futa” type porn at least occasionally and most men who watch pornography with any regularity have watched it willingly at least once. In the last few years tracking for demand of trans porn on the internet has jumped by huge percentages- on average about double YOY.
Historically and presently the largest demand for “trans” porn in the US comes from “red” states and especially those which often have strict or conservative laws on sexuality and discrimination- like many southern and former confederate states.
Basically, if you’re in such a state your odds of any specific person you meet watching trans porn are much higher than most other places in the country.
So I mean- it’s pretty common overall but most men tend to be sheepish or lie about it even with other men who likely also watch these sorts of pornography or have fantasies of the nature.
Wether it is “gay” or not isn’t really relevant. You decide what you believe and others may feel the same or not. Futa specifically is usually women with penises, so they are usually still women in both gender identity and genetic sex- meaning that for a make it would not meet the textbook definition of homosexual as penis or not they are still a different sex. For women Futa would meet the criteria of homosexuality in the biological sense as the women are still women. Of course- if it is a cartoon none of the characters have DNA- they are cartoons. Gender is entirely decided by the narrative. You can draw a picture that looks like a photo of River Downey Jr. And say that she is your new female original creation “Lydia” and that’s a woman. So I could write 400 pages to walk through all these alleys but just… stop being idiots. Gay or not if you like it you like it. If it is gay, are you gay? If you are gay, does that change who you are? You were gay yesterday too then and didn’t know.
So all that changes is wether you or others know you’re gay, but the rest is all the same as it ever was no? The fact that we can see a cartoon or a sex doll made of plastic or drag queen or a photo of a landscape or a statue and be aroused- what does that mean? Well- think about this. It means that you aren’t turned on by “women,” you are turned on by cues you associate with women. Biological women often use makeup that completely makes them unrecognizable from without, shape wear and fashion choices and grooming and other means to “enhance” or “create” appeal. You can find sex appeal in non human objects if they are shaped and painted and presented in a way that looks like your idea of a human female. And look- let’s get uncomfortable. Human features that are attractive are and often have been compared to animals, haunches like a horse, built like a bull, swans and more. And vice versa. Unless it’s your first day on the internet you know people find human beauty in animals and…
.. there are vast numbers with fantasy concerning aspects of anthropomorphization across a wide spectrum of particulars and details of the execution or extent they deviate from human form. The point is even if one isn’t a furry horses have been described as handsome for ages. “An ass like a Clydesdale” or a “donkey” or such isn’t a new comparison. Your mind and how it handles sexuality is WAY less based in biological gender than you may think it is. You’re looking at shapes and colors and such. You’re feeling for textures and tactile sensations that are pleasing- silk has long been associated with pleasure and sex, leather, etc etc. your sense of smell plays a huge and still not fully understood or documented role in sex. Pheromones and other markers but even smells unrelated to our partners. Numerous studies have explored what smells humans find sexual or respond well to sexually and which humans prefer what and why.
As a matter of fact, most humans do not get aroused by the same of feces, human or otherwise, and most or many humans are not only not aroused by the smell, but are turned off or even may not be able to achieve orgasm or even reach a state to perform intercourse around the smell of feces. Of course for some humans it is the opposite, but often times even those who enjoy some idea of or the visuals of or who watch pornography with vomit or feces do not find the smell appealing or arousing. It is believed humans kiss to help gather smell and taste of a partner, conscious and subconscious information about health and lifestyle and genetics that can influence our attraction or arousal.
So there is a lot going on when it comes to your sexual preferences and that doesn’t touch psychology and all the ways that we can intercepted various acts and details differently or all the motivations. Power is often a big one- a power dynamic in sex- and it’s subjective. A man may feel that reviving oral from a partner gives him the position of power, they are “servicing” him and such, the partner giving oral might also believe this and enjoy a subservient role, or the partner giving oral might feel THEY have the power as their partner is in a position of vulnerability to them, one bite is all it would take and they are powerless. The act of giving pleasure can be seen as subservient- placing others ahead of self or as dominant- you control their pleasure, you control their ability to orgasm, you decide what you’ll do next or if you’ll stop. They might be in a state of suggestibility or loss of control, and orgasm is often a state of loss of control and inhibition. The body reacts..
.. often violently and noticeably and until the orgasm is over the person may be wracked by spasms and such they can’t stop or control. They may lose some control over their vocal abilities and we know that many people in a state of heightened sexual arousal or pleasure can be suggestible or malleable. They might beg or even might agree to things they otherwise wouldn’t just to continue feeling that way or achieve a more intense feeling. Often times other interests can be traced to things like this- the arousal many get surrounding bodily functions for example like urine or feces or vomit can in cases be traced to similarly concepts of power or powerlessness or to similarities to orgasm- a sudden pressure and release with involuntary expulsion and such. Often Futa or trans porn can follow similar psychological lines. In many societies penises are linked to power, a submissive person may seek to be dominated by power, some may seek to dominate one with power, and there can be an..
.. “equality” where genitals are the same. For a man, they will generally understand a penis. Probably are familiar with it and how to give pleasure, or at least subconsciously believe they are, as they likely have experience in masturbating and are probably quite pleased with their ability to do so. They also understand the feeling of having a penis and being aroused. We don’t know what having another genders genitals feels like- we don’t know if men and women feel the same things in sex or the same intensity and such. If our partner has genitals like ours we can understand the pleasure they feel better. That can be arousing for some. For others the vagina may be intimidating- especially if they have performance anxieties. We know that on the whole in popular discourse and culture and in the experiences of most that it tend to be simpler and more consistent to get men to orgasm. The male sexual response doesn’t carry the same wide spread concepts of mystery and complexity as the..
.. female. So I could go one as there are countless motivators and interpretations and such- the big take away on psychology is that the things our minds connect to sex can vary and the way we interpret any given stimulus is subjective. Psychology of sex gets complicated but usually ends up back at a few simple roots that just snake through the brain and consciousness to end up attached to some particular thing after an often winding path that can lead to some unpredictable or curious ends from its root.
So WHY specifically any person finds any other or some specific act or stimulus arousing is pretty all over the place. It can be interesting or enlightening or even have usefulness to understand better, but none of that revolves around or has a terribly critical aspect of gender. Are you gay? Is this thing gay? Dude- if I paint a hunk of clay right you’d get hard and if you were horny enough and had the opportunity you’d have sex with it. Gay doesn’t even enter into it- in oversimplifies terms your sex brain is stupid. We laugh at it when we hear about beetles trying to have sex with bottles because they resemble the females shell or a bird trying to bang a lawn ornament or whatever- but porn and cartoons and sex dolls and extreme plastic surgery and all this stuff is just that with humans. You’ll get turned on by anything that looks close enough to what you think is sexy. It’s that simple. Gender, genitals, species, alive or inanimate, physical or digital, it doesn’t matter.
