I didn’t see this coming.
I’m going to share a personal revelation of mine that has been going on over the last 5 weeks or so. One that those who have read my posts since I joined the forum here will find surprising, perhaps even shocking!
The Dark Ages
I’ve never been a fan of the futanari fetish in fact I’ve always been quite vocal in my objection and bewilderment in relation to it. I’ve never been a “hater” of either the fetish or those who enjoy it (at least I hope not), but I was very strongly opposed to futanari on both a visual and intellectual level. To me, depictions of futanari had a very visually disconnected look, there were things (penis) where things shouldn’t be which struck me as being as ridiculous as putting a pair of breasts on a girls forehead. Intellectually there were gender bending and corruption of the female body aspects which I found offensive. Plus I was never convinced by anything I had seen that a futanari was truly 100 % female.
The Enlightenment
Many people whose words I have read online generally hold the assumption that one of the biggest factors of liking or not liking a particular sex act or fetish lies in seeing a representation of it that conforms to your view of how you think that act is best shown or performed. Think of your own favourite porn movies, can you see a common visual thread running through them? If you can that’s because those movies represent to you an ideal depiction of whatever their content may be. I’ve been a fan of miro’s work since I discovered it 18 months ago, I actually paid for a previous set (I haven’t paid for anything related to porn since 2007) and ended up working here at Affect3D.
As a member of staff, I saw the Girlfriends4ever teaser before it was released (get over it) and like many of you I was blown away by how good it was. But what really hit me and hit me hard, was how my perception of Sayako changed. Within seconds of watching I had no doubts as to her gender, she instantly became a woman, 100% female. But of course there’s one big difference between Sayako and any other woman, something I hadn’t seen, and something whose implications where something else entirely. I might have been convinced she was a woman but would that prepare me for what was coming next?
Viewing the Girlfriends4ever trailer (yes, I’ve seen that too, get over it) was something I was apprehensive about, but my worries were unfounded. To put it simply, what I saw just works, just makes sense. Maybe it was because of the artist whose work I like, or because of my earlier change of perception, or simply because it was hot, maybe it was all three, but I knew I had changed my mind and that I needed a logical explanation.
The Eureka Moments
Googling “explanation of the futanari fetish” led to some fun reading. I found many childish arguments online about the futanari fetish such as “you’re gay for liking futanari” with replies like “no you’re gay for watching porn with dudes in it”, but I also several intelligent explanations of the fetish. Some were nice statements about how the futanari fetish is “an indicator of societies’ increased tolerance and acceptance of transsexuals, transvestites, homosexuals and lesbians” but none of the explanations had any relevance to my thoughts until I found this little gem (paraphrased for clarity):
Men are visually orientated sexually. I often use the example that if you showed a picture of a woman eating a banana, many men would get hard.
Let’s take a sexual situation and apply it here. The blowjob. It’s an oft pondered over thing why men so enjoy seeing a blowjob scene in porn, sometimes to the preference of all else. There is a simple word, and that is proxy. Men, are generally greatly aided by a proxy so that they can have someone to relate to in the erotic situation. The penis being sucked becomes our penis in our minds and the imagery becomes all the more potent.
Now, let’s apply this to futanari. When the penis is in full view, we have a proxy without any sort of competition, i.e. another male. We don’t have a guy who doesn’t fit properly into our mental image of ourselves, instead we have a penis, through which to proxy, and a second woman. So in effect, the sexual imagery is all the more potent.
The above can be summed up (like it has many times on this site) as “you get to watch penetrative sex (using a penis) without some dudes hairy ass getting in the way”.
The Glorious New Era
All erotica/pornography whether its real, 2d or 3dx is a fantasy and all pornography requires a certain amount of “suspension of disbelief”, if you’ve found your way to this website and are reading this then you’re probably already well trained in the art of suspending your disbelief. Granted the futanari genre requires slightly more suspension of disbelief than the more vanilla fetishes, but that extra effort is rewarded in equal if not greater measure by the delights that await those who can “get into it”. It opens up a whole new avenue of erotic possibilities both in terms of sexual activity, and how those activities can be portrayed. Futanari porn can be everything you like about conventional heterosexual porn, but with none of the downside. If you can make the leap, you’ll find you land somewhere very, very nice.

June 6, 2013I’ll be straight up and honest. I am confused.
Mainly by the fact people use the terms “futanari”, “hermaphrodite” and “shemale” interchangeably so often.
The classification I learned was this:
Futanari = fully functional primary and secondary female sexual characteristics (vagina and breasts) + penis (but without balls)
Hermaphrodite = fully functional primary male and female sexual characteristics (vagina + penis with balls) and somewhat developed secondary female sexual characteristics, sometimes mixed with a few hints of male secondary characteristics
Shemale = no primary female sexual characteristic (no vagina), fully functional primary male genitalia (penis + balls), secondary female sexual characteristics
I really wish people wouldn’t jumble up the different variants so often. ^_^”
Anyways, I trust in GF4E you’re using either a shemale or a herm? Or are you *actually* using a futanari? Forgive me, but I am one of those who don’T look at previews, trailers etc. to keep the suspense and anticipation up. 😉 Though with cocked girls in it, I admit it is not as high on my list as it probably should given the amount of work going into it.
My apologies, but even after 17 years on the internet, there are some things I just cannot really get into. And this happens to be amongst them. But that does not take away from the effort you are likely putting into it, nor the technical brilliance it will have (judging by your previous releases here).
So cheers and a virtual toast.
(Note: everybody, rest assured that none of what I write is in any way or form intended to be offensive or discriminating towards and person or group, including but not limited to people who like the subject of futa/herm/shemale)

June 7, 2013I think you’re putting way too much thought into the distinctions/variants, they are useful for real-world examples of similar things but not really applicable to 2d or 3d.
As for what you can and cannot get into, thats entirely your “choice”, and we respect things like that round here 🙂

June 3, 2013I like girls. All kinds of girls. A few years ago, when I discovered certain parts of me didn’t discriminate about what they had between their legs…I freaked out at first.
Eventually I realized, having tackled more difficult obstacles, this wasn’t a big deal. Turning and running from it wasn’t going to resolve anything either.
Take heart for I have gone through a similar journey, FredFred.
And really, when we already have standards of “attractive” conditioned into us by modern society which are unnatural… are we *really* so surprised about it when something or someone who isn’t a “real” (biological) woman comes closer to that standard than does a real woman who isn’t altered in any way? Does it really shock us so much when something “triggers” us because our subconscious can’t tell the difference?
fredfred5150
June 7, 2013The last paragraph of your post raises an interesting point, one I’ve discussed with people online and in the real world. And as someone who is easily “triggered” by “unreal” I can say that the trigger has both positive and negative consequences, but thats for another article 😉

May 18, 2013Goddamnit is Tara getting a cock too?
Fucking hell.
miro
May 18, 2013Sayako is the one with the cock. Ayako has no cock. On the same token Tara does NOT have a cock, but she may get an evil alter ego (or similar) who has one for story purposes possibly Evil Nuns, that’s what the above test render was made for.
Kantus
May 18, 2013Oh. Oh good. I almost had a heart attack when the one character I really like looked like she was gonna get turned into one of those *things*. Evil cock-equipped alter ego is fine, make a million for all I care, just don’t ruin poor Tara. :C
Shmex
May 17, 2013I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT WOULD GROW ON YOU!
I never got to post a pic that would make you go like “THAT’S HOT”, only to reveal it was a transexual/dickgirl all along though.
fredfred5150
May 17, 2013You wouldn’t have been able to do that, but it would have been fun watching you try
Tiffany
May 16, 2013Welcome to the dark side Fred.
P.S. yay for Tara’s balless futa cock~!
fredfred5150
May 16, 2013I dunno Tiffany, I think futas should have balls (never thought I’d be typing that lol)
Tiffany
May 17, 2013Shemales should have balls. Not futas.

May 16, 2013Admit it, that’s just a trick to sell more g4e copys 😛
“It’s so awesome, it even converted Fred!!!” lol
Well… welcome aboard, or so xD
miro
May 18, 2013Haha, I agree it even looked liked a sales pitch to me 😀
But firstly I hope nobody is “converted” by mere “hype”.
And secondly the fact that he “turned” was NOT such a huge surprise for us Affect3D staff (me at least). If anything G4E was just the final straw (my assumption) and his proclamation including the suggestion for this article was all his idea.
I would have not minded at all, him sticking to ordinary boy+girl stuff forever, in the name of keeping things balanced, but hey, you can’t stop the forces of nature and it’s better to talk about it then keep it tucked away 😀
fredfred5150
May 19, 2013More like an anvil than a straw, but hey, the heart wants what the heart wants lol
fredfred5150
May 16, 2013lol, That would be a good sales trick, but no, it really is that good
FOXHOUND
May 16, 2013That was the most elaborate way to explain futa as being hot because it’s conventional sex with a penis and everything except for having ANOTHER hot chick instead of a douchy looking/fat and hair guy. More women, same hot action.
hzr
May 15, 2013Haha fred, even though its a funny read but come on. Did you really need some validation so you can like that fetish without shame? 🙂
I still dont like it hehe, just looks stupid to me, but I can understand that theres ppl turned on by it, even if its just for that outrageous fantasy kick. Theres probably tons of other triggers and reasons but thats the one that first comes to mind.
fredfred5150
May 16, 2013Read comment 4, the validation was for intellectual curiosity
Raj
May 15, 2013Not a bad read. I myself wrote a futa story for the halloween contest that took place on here not too long ago. Miro gave some inspiration words, thanks again Miro, but I have to say, I just don’t see the hype over futa.
Am I gonna pick-up the Girlfriends 4Ever pack? Maybe. I do likey big titties but the sight of the huge man junk on girls gives me the hebe jebes. Not hating futa, just don’t see they hype.
It does, however, get a pass as I stumbled upon a manga of one of the dancers from Dragon Quest getting married and was First person in some odd way. It was good. Very good adult material. Hell I even sat through the futa bonus section.
Guess what I’m trying to say here is that, its a swing and miss/hit for me. I’ll support the project and gladly wait for some straight porn.

May 15, 2013doesnt matter 😀 we have lost the main opposition in this blog muhahahahah 😛

May 14, 2013Fred,
As stated, you were always vocal about not liking the fetish, but you were ALWAYS respectful to those that did. You are a good man, Sir.
Now, please go back to my art thread and enjoy what I have provided there 😉
myself
May 14, 2013the only downside from all this is: i dont have anyone to poke anymore. .. 😛
fredfred5150
May 14, 2013Yes affect3d will be a much less fun place for you now, and thats my ultimate revenge for all your pokes 😀
Darqmyst
May 14, 2013Welcome to the dark side! Muahahahahaha!
Wait… you saw the trailer already?!
🙁
…
*gets over it*
Me likey the screenshots 🙂
Supro
May 14, 2013Awesome read, fred. Now you’re ONE OF US. ONE OF US. 😀
miro
May 14, 2013Fred, appreciate the fact of you not mentioning the part where we held a gun to your head 😀 😛
YmomY
May 14, 2013Jajajaja good words Freed 🙂 , you left me impressed as you open your mind, congrats 😛 and hoops! before I forget “hairy asses” (x_x) luckily now exists the permanent hair removal n_n, I can’t imagine, how many times those hairy asses crashed your inspiration, when you was watching an extreme and hot scene 😛
fredfred5150
May 14, 2013Soooo many times 🙂
blarg
May 14, 2013While it does make me happy to see another person converted into a futanari fan I’m still a little bit confused. Did you feel you needed some kind of explanation as to why you like something just to like it? I mean if you like pizza, you like pizza, maybe you dont like it and you warm up to it over time or maybe you hate it forever but you shouldn’t need to go looking for a reason as to why you do or dont. I’ve loved futanari for a long time, initially it was just hotter then watching a guy and a girl. But overtime I got to love everybit of them i didnt feel the need to justify my love for them, i just do. Didnt mean that in a bad way just kind of threw it out there but still welcome to the club!
fredfred5150
May 14, 2013I didn’t require an explanation, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like having one 😀

This is what I’ve been saying!!! LOL
Seriously though whether you had changed your mind or not about futa porn, I would like to applaud you for being open minded enough to consider something like this from a different point of view! It takes a mature mind to see the other guys side of the argument!
myself
May 14, 2013APPLAUSE!!!! HURRAY!! VICTORY!!!! 😀 now no one can oppose us futa lovers from taking over !!!! muhahahahha 😛
