Isn’t it part of the fantasy. You see the sexual things being done to the dick and it gets your horny because you imagine its your dick? Or rather fantasise about those things being done to you.
That’s why most porn tend to minimize screen time for the men’s faces. It’s easy enough to imagine that that’s your six-pack and fore-arm-sized dick, but the illusion is shattered when Rocco Siffredi’s face shows up.
Is it similar for straight women then? Do straight women get uncomfortable when they see other naked women, but it’s “ok” when watching porn?
I think the difference is the subject of the image/video. If it’s an image/video of just a naked guy with his dick hanging out, that’s the subject you’re supposed to be focused on. I’m like, “Ok, I don’t care about this, this does nothing for me.”
Watching a naked dude in porn get his dick sucked or have sex, the activity and the woman is the focus and you’re often meant to stand in for the guy. The guy becomes even more sexually objectified than the woman, he’s just this background thing doing repetitive motions so that I can see the woman physically react to it. The more generic and unassuming the guy looks, the better, I literally want nothing the guy does to call attention to himself.
That’s why older porn is so jarring sometimes because of the weird habit of cutting to the guy’s moaning face in the middle of everything. Like, what the fuck was the thinking behind that “technique”?
As a straight woman, I don’t focus on the guy either and it’s weird when he gets the spotlight (although it’s very helpful when he is attractive). It’s more about putting myself in the woman’s shoes and having the activity done to “me”.
And it may be a cultural thing but I’m not uncomfortable seeing other women naked.
I’ll take dick shots over a 90 second shot of the dude’s face
Also the average straight porn video dedicates on average about a third of the video to fallacio, where the only sexual organ we see is the penis.
So I’ve always been confused by why it’s odd that I don’t like seeing nude dudes, but if you include a nude female or female doing sexual acts I’m excited about it.
Like people, it’s not rocket science. She could be deep throating a goddamn banana and I’ll get excited to watch it. Once naked ladies are in a scene I somehow don’t even recognize that the actors are really in the scene. It’s not that I suddenly like dick, it’s that my attention literally can’t see it.
As an example, in old school stuff they used to pan over to the dude plowing the girl, and only the dude was in the shot. That broke my attention and always had to skip it, cause, quite honestly, I ain’t into being plowed by a dude.
It’s like when you’re watching the lady and don’t even notice the horse.

I only like man’s POV porn. That’s not the same thing as “seeing a dick in porn”
I mean, there’s still a dick and you’re still seeing it.
What about “Straight men when they see a dick but it’s on a lady”
