So this’ll be a lengthy one so bear with me or
TLDR: why isn’t there a ‘normal size dick’ in professional porn?
So one day I was watching a porn, it was a VR one. And it was pretty good, the lady did amazing job. But there was this one thing - the guy’s dick was massive! Especially in thickness. Maybe it was because of VR but it looked at times like it’s a size of a forearm, I’d swear I saw the lady having a problem putting the tip in her mouth. Like it was to the point where it felt … weird, like in an uncanny valley situation where it puts you out of the scene.
I was thinking about it the next day - and I realized, that I’d be actually more immersed into the scene if the guy would have the size similar to my dick. Especially in VR where you kind of put yourself into the position of a guy. And then I was thinking - Why is it there at all? Who’s asking for those massive sizes? Men? Women? General public? Production companies?
Then I asked myself - are there porn videos with normal dick size? And yes, there are … few of them. They’re either very amateurish or in humiliation category. Isn’t there a category/tag on porn sites for “normal size dick”? Well depends, pornhub doesn’t have it, xvideos does but they have everything. But again, videos are very amateurish or humiliation.
So am I in minority here? Does general public actually want these massive dick sizes? Because it kind of ruined my porn watching experience, I started noticing this everywhere.
Disclaimer: I’m not some puritan, I’ve seen some shit in my life. And sure, there is a place for over the top categories like bad dragon but those are mostly on the edge, not something for general public. Maybe I’m just getting old …
There are, but you have to go looking for them.
Thing is, porn is a visual medium. Like any film, it requires that the audience be able to see the important parts. In this case, those are body parts going on and out of other body parts.
In order to clearly and consistently see the action, you have to be able to get cameras in close, and from specific angles. Having dicks that are longer make that easier. So does removing body hair.
So you’ve got the actors in positions that maximize visibility, and guys with long cocks doing the work to give the best view.
So that’s the default for porn.
As you may have noticed, things that are in porn end up becoming rather popular in real life, even if they aren’t actually fun. People see it in porn, and think that’s what sex is, and go looking for it. Some end up enjoying it, others don’t, but they try it because they saw it.
When you run across average-to-small penii in porn, pay attention to how it’s filmed. There’s less options for positions, so they tend to be more similar.
Mind you, there are plenty of people that do prefer bigger cocks on their partners. Just like there’s plenty that don’t, or don’t have a preference, or want a middle ground. Nothing wrong with a monster cock as long as you can find someone that’s going to enjoy it.
I don’t use porn any more. But, assuming things haven’t changed much, you’ll find more of what you’re looking for in Japanese porn, stuff labeled for couples, and the very rare production company that favors male performers that are capable of pulling off some acting along with the sex.
You’ll find more average cock in older porn as well, as in 70s and before. Big ones were pretty standard by the eighties.
I see, thanks to you and @Radovic@lemmynsfw.com for explanation, makes sense.
My followup was whether there isn’t a gap in the market them. Like if there are more people like me, I’m sure some company would want to coining it. But then I thought, maybe it’s one of those things that sound good in theory, but when you see it, it feels off. Something like that scene from Simpsons about cows in movies. The result would probably look more boring/bland
