Do you cringe seeing the same sex in erotic poses?

    M/F sex is hot if it's genuine - not fake porn sex or angry abuse sex. I also like amateur hetero-buttsex, and there's a LOT of it on lobstertube. I don't get off, per se, on watching same-sex couples together (not even women, in general - I mean it's nice, but not particularly erotic to me I guess), but I have had what I'd call an "empathy boner" from it. Lobstertube, like most porn sites, often has very truncated descriptions of the small thumbnails in the galleries, and sometimes I click on a nondescript thumbnail of a dick going towards or into a butt and come to discover that it's not a female butt. Usually I watch for a few seconds out of morbid curiosity and then just proceed to more familiar pastures, but a few times it turned out to be strangely hot. Like this one where a skinny uncircumsized twink was taking a deep, slow ass-reaming on the floor doggy-style and really enjoying it a lot, and the camera was sort of underneath him, and he had this passionate anal orgasm without anyone or anything touching his dick. For some reason seeing him go like that ticked off some weird empathy reaction in my brain and I thought it was hot.

    Then another time I clicked on some clip showing a white dude porking a pretty, little petite asian girl (looked Vietnamese or Filippino) with a title involving "hot home-made trap sex" or something to that effect, and I failed to grasp the significance of the word "trap." He/she/it/whatever had nice little perky breasts and a very effeminate face and body, but a big sausage at the same time, and the two took turns making love to each other in missionary position, and it was somehow hot, but I can't even place what category of "hot" I'd put it under - I've been on the internet for decades now and have seen a lot of futanari (dickgirls), and once the "OMG WTF is THAT?!?" shock factor wore off, it just never did anything for me sexually. So this was like, sort of a weird case. I'm not turned on by masculinity, so I think it must have been a combination of the femininity of the trap-girl and the seemingly genuine nature of the clip.

    Beyond those two slightly odd experiences, I tend towards straight stuff. And obviously I'm not really weirded out by same-sex displays of affection, as I point yet again to my obvious affinity for the Jack/Ianto duo. I confess that I am, however, a little vain - whether I cringe or not is mostly dependent upon how attractive/pretty the people are who are doing it.

    That's what I thought...it's all shades of gray.
    Different people have different reactions.

    But the fact were on a fairly open and sexually-liberal board and where only those who choose to answer may skew results.
    There are likely others out there or haven't answered that aren't as available to show true trends.

    Even my Ex, although she was straight, loved gay male porn...found it hot. (no, she never asked me to watch)
    But she didn't appreciate lesbian porn or have anything for friends...but said she'd "go gay" for a celeb like Angelina Jolie. (and I wouldn't for any male)

    Sexual desires...both likes...and dislikes...vary, flux, change, intensity and lag, etc. or are null or ambiguous.

    Now, whether it's instinct, taught/environ...or both??
    I wonder what the responses would be from a country that wasn't as homophobic as the US
    ...or even a bit more "Greek" (not that Greece is like this really, but you know what I'm saying)
    Would the "acceptance" be more one way or the other...or would it trend the same?

    Damn, I'm too analytical...no wonder I drive everyone crazy at times. :rolleyes:
    Sometimes it's just fuckin' sex & desire, KISS

    I think the general rule for me is, fake porno sex is meh, regardless of the gender combination.

    Everything else is fair game. I don't seek out MM as it isn't my thing, but when I see MM intimacy (such as two dudes kissing or holding hands, etc.) it's just what it is and nothing else. If anything, I feel a little thrill that they are able to show this affection in the open and not hide it. Makes me want to give them a high five!

    Haha I get that same feeling; even though I won't personally participate, I think it just feels good to know that we're moving - as a culture - in a direction towards acceptance and freedom of love, and less general looming collective hostility or prejudice.

    Also, as per Post #11, it looks like the initial impression that I gleaned of @Baraka_Guru being aggressively heteronormative and repressed might have been slightly off... ;)

    I'm not turned on by MM porn but I do enjoy art with men and have no problem admitting that a man is hot.
    Like @Charlatan I find I feel good when I see a gay couple and while gay porn might not turn me on seeing two men who i know and care about would.

    The brain is a wondrous thing,

    In my case, this is accentuated by the fact that I (an old straight white guy) have become a political symbol of same-sex marriage.

    Recently, I attended a speech by a candidate for governor. Twice during the speech, he mentioned his support of marriage equality, and pointed me out in the audience by name, as if I were the Martin Luther King of the state's gay community.

    it dosent bother me at all, im comfortable enough in my sexuality that i dont care. wether its straight up gay male porn or orgy or straight porn. its all kinda hot to me. personally if seeing a member of the same sex naked or scantilly clad bothers you then you shouldnt be watching porn.
    back in high school when i played football there was a guy that played offensive line and he was straight up gay. we all knew it and didnt care. as long as he blocked we didnt care if we showered with him or not

    Agreed. Love art, will tell you if I think a man is good looking with no issue.
    And don't get me wrong, I like the fact that they can do as they will, so the societal notion is great.
    Actually, I've been fascinated by the whole transition thing going on,
    it's like watching the race relations change during and after the Civil Rights Act. (which I wasn't around for)

    It's just the physical act is a "thing" that makes me feel like it doesn't compute.
    Frankly, for me, I think it's instinctual, like a gagging reflex to vomit or shit, but I've gotten used to cleaning vomit with no issue
    and dealing with shit (literally) that I don't even think about it, although I'm aware of the "it" factor of them still.

    Again, I'm not putting gay activities in a negative here...just relaying how my body naturally reacts.
    Thankfully, I'm not uncomfortable at all having them be friends and associates...or even joking about it with them.
    And I take any "approach" to me by gays as a compliment...and a bit of an ego boost.
    I'm strange-bird, what can I say?

    Gay porn does nothing for me. Hell, a lot of straight porn doesn't do much more than nothing. Outside of porn, it's pretty much the same reaction as any other couple - somewhere between "aww, how cute they are together" to "Goddamnit, it's just like that episode of Seinfeld ..." At the opposite end of things, seeing people together who couldn't express it kind of hurts. When I first met my cousin's "roommate," they were somewhere behind the out-of-season clothes in the back of the closet. Now they're engaged and I can't tell you how happy I am for them. It makes me happy to see together, just like I feel when I see any other couple.

    I only cringe if it is 2 males together, though ladyboys are ok, male male sex is a big turn off for me. Obiously as a boy at aboarding school there was inter boy sex, nothing serious, just playting with each others dicks though somteimes there was forced masturbation, something I experienced twice.

    Not a big fan of seeing the ole starfish on a man, even when he's doin' a woman. I'm not in the least attracted to men, though I would prefer at least a half way good looking guy in any porn I watch. I hate seeing babes get it on with schlubs. Sue me.

    Haha, yeah, I can second that. Also, although this is slightly off-topic, I tend to mainly only watch porn starring white males - not because I don't like anyone who's not white or anything, I think it just enables me to "put myself in the scene" better when there's a white dick that looks more like mine; I can just relate and immerse myself better, and it especially helps during the POV (point of view) scenes since I can't see the dude's face (only cock) and it's hard to imagine looking down and seeing a big black/brown/whatever wiener and seeing it as my own - I can sort of empathize with a pasty wang easier. Preferably about 7-7.5 inches and not circumcised. :rolleyes:

    I guess I'm mostly with rogue49 on this. While I have no issue with homosexual relationships occurring, I cringe when I see two guys doing anything more than holding hands or a quick kiss. I have no explanation for this. If the same acts are acceptable when it is male-female or female-female, why does male-male bother me? (And yes, my brain discriminates in this situation).

    I was never taught that homosexuality is wrong but learned early on that society has an aversion to it. While this trend is slowly changing, I believe my reaction to this stems from a concern in school that I would be labeled as homosexual or made fun of if I was found to be in support of relationships or activities that were outside of the traditional roles. I wasn't one of the popular kids in school and didn't need any extra reason to be picked on or bullied.

    Now that popularity and friends are no longer a concern in my life, I'm hoping that this reaction will go away over time.

    I think that your experience regarding not openly supporting gays because of peer pressure, esp. as a teenager, applies to many people.

    I was much the same in high school, I mostly kept my 'live & let live because it doesn't matter to me' views to myself. I started college as an older student, age 22, and got to know many gays & bis via my future wife's friends in the school of music. The sexual preferences of others weren't important to me, and still aren't.

    --------------------------------------------

    My views on MM sex are a bit strange. It's not my thing, but if I see it, I'd rather see the guys actually having
    going-all-out sex rather than kissing & cuddling. In written erotica/porn, the 'emotional' aspect of MM sex is OK with me, but not so much visually.

    Interestingly, one of the common tropes in yaoi/BL is that they're men and they don't need that cuddly shit, so let's get straight to the action! In one of my favorites, one guy realizes he knows next to nothing about his lover...because all they do is have sex.

    no... it's fine by me... it's just a matter of acceptance... to each his own as they say... we are not in their shoes so why bother...
