“They also thought male porn actors had more agency and greater job satisfaction (obviously this isn’t necessarily true) and liked the fact that male porn often visually ‘makes love’ to the male body, instead of the representation of men as a disembodied cock that we often see in heterosexual porn.” “They felt m/m porn allowed them to enjoy rough and kinky sex without having to worry about self-identifying with a character in the scene and being pulled out of the fantasy,” Neville says. There was also a subset of women in Neville’s research who survived male sexual violence, and found male/female sex triggering. For them, male/male (and female/female) was a way to experience pleasure via sexual fantasy without being re-traumatized.
