The evidence for this, though, has been elusive. The basic idea is that the people you feel most different from in childhood become the target of your later sexual attractions, with gender non-conformers tending toward same-sex attractions and gender conformers tending toward opposite-sex attractions. Some psychologists believe gay men’s apparent attraction to masculinity stems from a general tendency for people to eroticize traits that are different from their own-the “ exotic becomes erotic” theory, as it’s known. “Gay men have fetishized straight men to some degree based on seeing them as more masculine,” says Joe Kort, a gay sex and relationship psychotherapist who works primarily with an LGBTQ+ client base. To be clear, there is wide individual variability-but if gay men tend to be attracted to masculinity and straight men as a group are more likely to conform to masculine gender roles, then it’s not hard to see why so many gay men would be searching for porn featuring straight guys.

Study after study has found that gay men are less gender-conforming than straight men on average, meaning that they’re less likely to adhere to strict ideas of what boys and men are “supposed” to act like. This helps explain why “Masc4Masc” is such a common term on gay dating and hookup sites.

This preference for masculinity is strongest among gay men who identify as masculine. Gay men also rate prospective partners who describe themselves as masculine more favorably than those who describe themselves as feminine. For example, gay men tend to be attracted to masculine-looking faces and to other signs of masculinity, such as muscularity. It's all irrelevant when it comes to sexual fantasies.Research into the partner preferences of gay men suggests that, on average, they tend to be drawn to masculinity. It doesn't matter how you choose to identify, what your sexual preference is or your gender. Sexual attractions and behaviors are more than just identity Well, Downing told Cosmopolitan, Sexual attractions and behaviors are more than just identity, research has shown that some gay men are attracted to or find heterosexual and masculine men more attractive.Īnd for the straight boys, Downing explains it's totally normal for straight guys to be attracted to (or even get it on) with other men. Porn is just a fantasy, and our fantasies do not dictate our sexual orientations or identities.Īccording to the same study, 55 percent of gay men reported they've chosen to watch straight porn in the past six months, which further proves my theory that the kind of porn you're into doesn't translate perfectly into your personal life.īisexual men, the study didn't forget you, don't panic. Bi guys confessed to watching gay porn at a rate of 96 percent and straight porn at a rate of 88.3 percent. On the other hand, I have many straight female friends who dabble in lesbian porn all the time, and get wildly turned on by watching it. Porn is just a fantasy, and our fantasies do not dictate our sexual orientations or identities.įor instance, I'll confess my own porn preference: I'm a surefire lesbian, and I only watch straight porn. I find lesbian porn hilarious, but there is a realness to straight porn (at least through my tainted, gay eyes) that I can get down and dirty with. It doesn't mean you're gay, or straight, or bi or anything. I'm going to send you home with a very important PSA: It's totally OK to watch any kind of porn.
