Any other straight men feel annoyed at the "male gaze" focus of straight porn?
So I'm a straight male, maybe a bit bi-curious which will make sense once I explain this, but are there any other straight men here that dislike how little straight porn or hentai actually gives visual attention to the man in the scenario? I'm talking about how in so many images I see the guy will either be faceless, or just not be in the shot and all visual attention is given to the girl, usually a super exaggerated blow up doll of a girl at that.
And it's a shame because I want my men in smut to be expressive! I want them to look pleasured, to be blushing, to whimper, roll their eyes back, be on the edge of tears because of how good it feels. Yet most straight stuff I see just has faceless husks with dicks.

I get the point is to project yourself onto them but I can't relate to a brick wall. And that says nothing of the straight ladies out there who probably don't go into straight porn imagining themselves as the guy.

Here's some images of the kind of thing I'm looking for

What do you think?

To be honest, to me it just seems like you're looking for a specific fetish.

Most of my focus is on the woman, so it rarely matters if the guy is faceless if the artstyle handles it tastefully.

I'm not looking at porn for the bloke and he doesn't even need to exist for me to project myself into a scenario.

“Oh cool a video!” Immediately hears dude moaning and groaning. Yup, I’m outta here

Bit of a mixed bag. In relation to my commissions that I upload, it all depends on what the end goal is.

Like, in this one I was just having my vampire OC giving a titfuck. It wasn't supposed to be anyone in particular. You're just supposed to focus on her, and since it's a pic, it's easy to pretend it's your cock she's wrapped around.

But in this one it was actually intended to be a romantic scene between two of my OCs, so of course they're both featured.

I think you might be reading a bit too much into it. There's plenty of art to suit your tastes if you want to see more of the dude, but you're also discounting the value of a good pic that has a more anonymous male participant.

You know you can just put “male_focus” into the search bar, right?

True, but you'd want to do that in conjunction with "straight", otherwise you'd just get mostly solo male or gay male pics.

Typical feminist behaviour... You clearly want femdom, so just search for that and move on. We're not gonna change our tastes to suit yours.

I remember a while ago we were arguing about sex work and how he thinks sex workers exploit young men. I told him a lot of sex workers are forced into it because they're poor and don't have other options, and he was just like "remember to stick to OP's topic" and left it at that.

Keep in mind this was an argument HE started. And there's no rule saying you have to stick to an OP's topic. But the second someone stumps him, he pusses out and literally starts coping and seething like that Wojak meme

It's an odd trope for sure, but not one that I entirely object to. I think I and many others are very self-conscious about our appearances and do not wish to see something that directly affirms or denies our perceptions of our physical appearances. This desire to distance the self from a depiction in art is probably the reason why I like anthro art so much -- because the designs of those characters so rarely map precisely to actual human features.

That makes sense, I've always wondered why there's so much faceless or ambiguously defined male artwork. Pretty interesting to think about.

Now that's a rare insult right there. I'm stealing that.
