trans porn is a very strange phenomenon. The fact that it is so popular amongst "hetero" men tells us sexual desire is far more complex than we can imagine.
Why do you think so many men who would call themselves strictly "hetero", watch this kind of porn?
And what do you think you, as a woman, can learn from this?
-I see some possible reasons for the success of trans porn amongst heteros [excuse me for my bad English, I'm not a native speaker]:
1. THE "WOMEN'S SEXUAL SECRETS" / OPPORTUNISTIC THEORY
By watching trans porn, men think they can find out what it must be like to be a woman and have sex, without having to go out and experience it themselves in a gay encounter.
-A trans is often more archetypically "feminine" than real women while at the same time they have a cock, and often a big one at that.
-By projecting themselves in the role of being a trans (who sucks cocks and gets penetrated), they can "experience" feminity without getting psychologically castrated (castration fear / fear of being gay / fear of becoming a real woman -- they can safely project themselves into the role of a trans, because a trans is a woman, BUT she still has the cock; this negates castration fears).
-They can then use this knowledge (they now know what a woman experiences during sex, they think), for purely opportunistic reasons. They can use it to get you to be more sexually open during an encounter. Mimicry is might; they now know what you want (they think), so they can exert more power over you without becoming dominant or without relying on the old hetero strategies which they think fail too often. They can control you by using your own knowledge against you - so they think. And they have acquired this knowledge from watching/experiencing/projecting themselves into transsexual roles.
2. THE "HIDDEN HOMOSEXUALITY" THEORY
Alternatively, trannies allow "hetero" men to unlock their hidden and repressed homosexual feelings without actually becoming gay.
-Transsexuals are 'transitional' figures; with both feminine forms (archetypical ones) and a big cock, the hetero/bi-men can experiment with their gay feelings without being real homosexuals.
-Trannies allow them to overcome their own fears during these experiments: they can imagine sucking a big cock, but when they go too far psychologically, they can very quickly revert back to looking at the trans as a woman, with breasts. This theory is based on what Baudrillard said about transsexuals and pornography; porn is "cutting up bodies" into specific fetishes - a tit here, a cock there, a butt here, thick lips there; by cutting up a trans into her respective parts - both male and female parts - you can continuously switch between your hetero and homo feelings.
-However this idea pressuposes the existence of bi-sexuality and the 'fluidity' of sexual roles, which is disputed in the scientific community.
3. THE "AFFIRMATIVE HETEROSEXUALITY" THEORY
Finally, watching trans porn may just be a strategy of hetero men to affirm their total heterosexuality, because trannies are more feminine than real women.
-As men, transsexuals know better than women what men really want.
-As women, they can use this knowledge to act like the 'total slut', the complete woman who knows perfectly what men want and can satisfy their deepest hetero desires ('the best blowjobs', 'the best slutty attitude', etc...)
-in this theory, hetero men would watch transsexual porn because it represents best what they want women to do during sex; trannies are more feminine than ordinary women
-one could take this a step further and say that ordinary hetero porn, with female porn stars, is actually not heterosexual enough; female porn stars act too much like men, they exaggerate and they act, they 'fake it' (there's a point to it: especially American porn stars are a major turn off because they overdo it); trans-porn is in this sense more suited for real heteros, because trannies are women who don't have to act (because they are men who like to have sex with men, no need for them to act, unlike porn stars).
-it remains a purely virtual exercise; the hetero men can play out their fantasies of what a 'real slut' should be, by watching trans porn - during real encounters with real women, they cannot demand these women to be the total slut; moreover, real women are not capable of being such a total slut, because they will never really know what men really want! Trannies do and offer these hetero men their ultimate fantasy space about the ultimate slut woman.
Mmm, I don't know. But one thing is certain: both men and women can learn a lot by questioning the reasons as to why watching transsexual porn is so popular amongst "hetero" men.
