I've noticed the "ugly guy, attractive girl" thing too. It bothers me. I don't think anyone goes to porn (much less professionally produced, ultra-HD, manufactured on an industrial scale studio porn) for any kind of realness or is under the impression that the people involved actually love each other or anything, but I'm completely unable to suspend my disbelief long enough to watch it. There's a gay studio or two that does it, too, but I just can't stand it and have to turn the video off either way.

RE: Straight porn vs gay porn, your thoughts
@bi4smooth said in Straight porn vs gay porn, your thoughts:
I have known MANY straight women who LOVE gay porn - because the guys are hotter, and less violent...
Most women are more into romance vs hard, violent sex...
I think it's not necessarily about romance so much as it is that depictions of women in straight porn - even "vanilla" straight porn - are so cartoonishly one-dimensional and downright degrading. Everything is ultimately brought back to only what one partner wants, women's desire is portrayed as revolving around whatever gets their male partner off without any consideration for themselves, and if you're a woman watching that, I think it's pretty alienating. Gay porn may not be the most romantic, but at least both partners are usually shown to have their own sexual agency and desires and an interest in mutual pleasure.
