If nothing gets your pulse racing quite like a leggy brunette in stilettos and a racy little teddy—and a big cock—well, judging from the popularity of shemale porn, you’re not alone.
Even if you have a definite preference for post-op transexuals, or for that matter for cis women, you might get rock hard seeing her pull her cock out during a steamy film.
Understandably, trans women who have hormone or surgery-induced breasts and curves but still have a penis don’t always like being objectified or fetishized. Some take the reins and accept your desire, and others take their own erotic thrill from yours.
The question remains, however—aside from the obvious fact that transgender women are insanely sexy, why on earth do so many of us find ourselves jerking off to chicks-with-dicks flicks?
Why Shemale Porn Is Popular
Taboo
There isn’t much that can surprise or titillate because it’s forbidden. Once upon a time, a fully clothed woman sneaking a cigarette would get a million motors going. Ever see old erotic postcards where the “nude” is pretty much fully clothed, but a strap is slipping, or a dark shadow hints at pubic hair? Those poor women, if found out, were totally robbed of their reputations, but hard-ons were had by all.
In some countries, where women are completely covered, the mere flash on an ankle is enough to get you going.
Now that we celebrate and encourage all kinds of sex for men, women, and transgender folks alike, the mere hint of a nipple isn’t shocking.
But one thing we don’t see very often is a woman who happens to have a penis left over from sex assignment at birth. And because the desire such a sight inspires is considered politically incorrect or objectifying instead of normal, it’s even hotter to our taboo-wired psyches.
Mythology
The centaur was part human, part beast. Angels are humanoids from heaven. Gods and goddesses throughout cultures and mythologies have been hybrids of human and animal, human and divine, or male and female, from the yin-yang to the hermaphrodite—Hermes and Aphrodite. There’s something mythic and epic about a body that is part male and part female. It’s like our ultimate union.
Our bodies respond to the visual iconography of unity and union because of what it symbolizes. A man and woman merged completely in a human of both or no genders—we might connect with that on a truly epic level like the classical gods and goddesses.
Novelty
The new is exciting. Variety is the spice of life. Surprise—the unexpected and incongruous—jolt our nervous systems into overdrive. So it only makes sense that a woman with a cock excites our arousal systems.
Rarity
Similar to novelty and variety, but different—rarity can arouse desire parallel to an experience in the world of art or couture or gemstones. When the likelihood of an experience or occurrence is incredibly rare, the likelihood that we will find that sexual experience a major turn on is high (even if it is through watching porn, not actually hooking up).
Anatomy
What is often overlooked in the analysis of why men love transgender women is the obvious—not the cock, but the woman who goes with it. The female turns most men on, and many women too.
So while all the above reasons hold strong, there’s a much more mundane reason too—she’s a woman.
She’s got breasts. The cock adds novelty, rarity, mythology, and taboo—but at the core, a trans woman is a woman, and the vast majority of men and lots of women are turned on by women. No surprise there!
