"At the same time ladies are very much into yuri stuff lol"

Actually I saw a different trend....a lot of women being into yaoi/gay porn, while a lot of guys are into yuri/lesbians. Interesting how that works.

True. But I was talking particularly about Herms. And part about girls being into yuri was only example of how counterpoising things are. They do love yuri stuff lol, its a fact. But again I dont see many of who into herms.

Yeah, there's more males in communities like this than there are females. I do agree with Crovirus up there, A LOT of women I knew and I see are into yaoi and gay dudes and the men are yuri/lesbian lovers.

Some things I've heard along the way in regards to herms/d-girls.

(these aren't direct quotes, I'm paraphrasing)
"It's even less gay than straight M/F sex, where it's 50% gay. If you put a dick on a female, that knocks it down to 25% gay, and depending on the builds, it could go down to 10% gay"

"It fills the primal urge to see actual penetration and a payoff but still enjoy watching 2 girls going at it"

I got to know quite a bunch o people on Second Life who play herms,
dickgirls or shemales. and I only know one of them to be a woman iRL.
Fapping to herms and impersonating one are two different layers of the
same thing, I guess.

Like, when you are into girls with dicks, it could be like you and some
other psychoanalysts said, the urge for familarity. A compensation for
insecurity on how to pleasure your opposite. But also, it could be part
of a homosexual tendency, from both sides. Acting or dreaming to be
a hermaphrodite on the other hand is an implication of some sort of
pseudo to real transgenderism.

For me, well, I never grew up with gender biases. Up until today I am
having a hard time dealing with people who follow gender roles and are
just this or just that. For me, being human means being in constant
progress, also meaning you are never fully male or female. not to
mention letting the parts between your legs dictate who you are is pretty
stupid. Imho.

Being a herm iSL opens up for so many fun (e)RPs. I enjoy the most when
I run into people who have never encountered a girl with a dick before and
may be scepticle in the beginning, but grow to realize that gender roles
basically are just a mindset. one of many.

The guys liking herm thing seems to be something like the stereotype of businessmen and other high-ranking folks having the hots for Dominatrixes.

In most Male x Herm pieces the herm is the active/dominant one, leaving the male in a submissive/powerless position. That sensation of relative "powerlessness", having something done to you instead of doing something to someone else, can be quite something.

Due to its popularity it's likely also a kind of way for bi-curious folk to explore their sexuality in a less extreme way~

Agree. I also like when herm holds dominant position on a relationship/sex.

I remember watching a video that explained this a bit. Apparently the five most erotic areas of the human body, to men, are the breasts, butt, thighs, feet, and penis. Female characters with penises just seem to hit all the right notes and that's why they're so popular with a vast majority of the male population.

There is also the herm topping male stuff, but I see about an even mix of it if not slighting leaning towards more males topping herms, so it's probably just that extra bit making them overall more alluring than traditional women. Naturally the female x herm allure is two girls with a penis between them, which is pretty understandable at a surface level lol.

Hrrrrm...I'm no psychiatrist or anything, but the most prevalent thing I've seen in my online friends...

'Futa' is not female. In fact, it's just a male with breasts, as it ends up getting rid of the vagina entirely. This is pretty much a way to delve into homosexual feelings for men without feeling homosexual. Even though...well, still liking men with breasts. XD

'Herm' is certainly amongst the more 'dommy' members of the community, but they also tend to be the...strangest, as well. Gender confused, so forth. To me, attempting to get 'the best of both worlds' ends up kinda...making them the worst of both worlds. During roleplay and stuff, I'll pretty well avoid herms or turn them down, and don't like them in art either.

To me, it's FAR sexier to be either a male or a female, and not try to flop between the genders.

Of course, everyone has their opinions and what they find sexy. x3 Their own experiences with it, so forth. Seems more men play futa AND herms though, from what I've seen. Just my two cents!
