What's Up with Men in Porn?

[errantember]

I mean, these guys are getting worked over by people whom they, as a sex, have been most conditioned to want, and yet they have virtually no facial expression or commentary beyond the occasional canned "take it baby." Obviously they're *in* to what's going on, or we'd know otherwise. Unlike the women, they can't fake it. And yet, they're *so* undemonstrative.

I don't get it.

I was going to say something similar, that they don't want the man/men taking attention away from the woman. I think that's why fucking machine porn is popular with men--they get to watch a woman getting fucked without another guy's body in the way. I like fucking machines as well, but it's more for the control aspect: the fuck can be exactly the way you want it to be (dildo size, speed, duration, etc.).

I like fucking machine porn, not so much because I like to avoid seeing men but because the men in standard porn are so ugly and dispassionate (honestly, so are the women, but machine porn started just enough on the fringe that for a while you got real women with real bodies and real emotions for a while there--which was very nice).

There's also something cool about being able to focus on just one person's simple and honest pleasure, which is why I also like beautiful agony (http://beautifulagony.com/public/main.php).
