Transsexual pornography also allows ostensibly straight men to explore bisexual fantasies without having to identify fully as desiring other men. glbtq.com

It looks like ‘transsexual’ porn is seeping more and more into the mainstream. Seth Rogen calls the American male’s secret lust for transsexual porn ‘girls’, “The elephant in the America’s room.” I won’t get into my personal perceptions about porn or the broad use of terms like ‘transsexual’, she-male or tranny in pornography. The world of porn is driven by a force as old as the ripples in the world’s first scum pond.
(ahem) Now that I’ve said I won’t get into my perceptions – let me give you one or three.
1.) Regarding mainstream American subconscious sexuality – as perception of transsexual=gay changes to transsexual=beautiful woman with a strap-on attached, the American porn and sex purchasing males have become and will continue to be more openly accepting of ‘transsexuals’.
b) This will continue to fortify ‘transsexual’ porn sales and the mainstream perception of all transsexual women and all genetic women as objects of sexual pleasure for straight males.
3.) Please note: As Seth Rogen continues to capitalize on his chauvinist-but-sensitive-not-good-looking-but-really-funnyguy routine, transsexual or trannies or she-males who are not considered ‘beautiful’ are still banished. (unless they are sloppy, funny and have a lot of good dirty jokes, and are dressed like men)
That’s all the perception on porn I can muster – as for the marketshare in media and porn – stats are stats. Read ‘em and weep – or creep – or peep. Here’s an excerpt and link to an article by Maddy Claire who is working on a book and website called, “Girls from Pluto: The Straight Guy’s Field Guide to Loving & Dating Transsexual Women”. Maddy, according to the information on her website, is a very successful marketing professional.
Research gathered from more than a dozen major sources – including Alexa, Google and Internet World Stats – reveals that nearly 190 million heterosexual men are attracted to transsexual women and actively seek romantic contact with or sexually explicit images of them annually.
