I recently finished reading The Anthropology Of Sex by Hastings Donnan and Fiona Magowan. Within, I found something that seemed particularly relevant to dickgirls. In the context of discussing interactive sex webcam sites, Donnan and Magowan state
These sites allow women to perform erotically and sensuously with their whole bodies, while men, lacking a history of erotically seductive posturing, typically display their genitals in a close up “crotch cam” pose.
It struck me that dickgirls combine these two elements.
While we have seen an expanding interest, and thus greater diversity of dickgirl art, it clearly began as a male-oriented fetish. Many comments we have received on a variety of articles here at Affect3D clearly indicate a desire to appreciate a healthy cock without feeling as if doing so challenges one’s heterosexual status. There’s certainly more going on with dickgirls, and I’m not going to blow the whole load here. But this feels relevant.
What does this have to do with dick pics?
Well, I bantered for a while about dick pics with a friend we’ll call Sammie. We discussed the male gaze and its prevalence in most media. But we also talked about the universal need to be desired. Since the male gaze is often focused on primary and secondary sex characteristics (pussy, tits, and ass), it follows that this same focus will be prevalent with male presentation. On the other hand, if a dude has a rockin’ bod, he will be likely to show it off. In the absence of something like glorious abs, the focus of pictures is far more likely to be on what they feel will satisfy a woman: cock.
Back to dickgirls.
We have the cock as the object of satisfaction, our focal point, in addition to a rockin’ bod to show off. The long history of female sensuality and the short history of the dick pic. Dickgirls present a fascinating hybridization of female and male sexuality. This gives us a unique opportunity to express a new eroticism that transcends gendered norms. And if nothing else, since their cocks are so fuckin’ huge, we don’t have to worry about any sketchy camera tricks to disguise their size, amirite. 😛

March 5, 2017To Richard’s point: that’s really the fantasy of the dickgirl, isn’t it? No erotic finesse is required of the men who consume these images: “there’s no need for foreplay.”
One of the most interesting things about the conventions of dickgirl porn is how limited they are. The scenarios are almost always minor variations on rape. There is no “foreplay” apart from a few minutes of forced preliminary fellatio. There certainly is no erotic play of any other kind. And no point to the sex act besides a surreally copious ejaculation. The question you have to ask is if this is how men overall think of sexuality—a clumsy rush toward a deluge of semen, with no overarching point except to establish a playground level of dominance.
Which makes the dickgirl fantasy and its resulting imagery dull and depressing so far. It can’t get beyond the discouraging limits of the male sexual imagination. I don’t think the answer is to turn the project over to women and hope they’ll redeem our botched handling of the subject. It isn’t their job, or burden, to humanize us. Nor do they need to have their own sexual flourishing diverted into the drudgery of pulling us out of our rut. That said, it might be enlightening to see what dickgirl art would be like if made for a female audience. I’m guessing less dick, more girl, definitely less semen, but a much greater portion of an integrated eros that can accommodate full-body sexuality grounded in actual relationships. Or at least scenarios that aren’t so one-dimensional (the final irony of 3-D porn).
In the meantime, it continues to be embarrassing that the telling exaggeration of the dickgirl’s dick broadcasts our preference for convenience over sexual knowledge and skill. The girl dick is a sign of our retreat from fully realized female sexuality and our regression to the musings of juvenile sexuality, when we assumed that women had a penis just like we did. I don’t think we ever get over our initial suspicion of women when we find out they don’t. The dickgirl seems like our attempt to give them a second chance if their dicks can atone for that earlier betrayal.

March 10, 2017Mike,
Interesting comment. I don’t really know as I’m not into dick girl or futa porn. However, if you are into straight sex perhaps you’d like to give my stuff a look – shameless plug ;). I put quite a bit of work into the setup, to introduce the viewer to the characters and have a bit of story to it. To a degree of course, as it’s porn. I also like to have more focus on the female, and her pleasure derived from the encounter.
As someone who is producing content now, I can empathize with a lack of background jumping in to the sex. Sex sells, and taking time to compose the story is time which could be put towards the next set. Basically, in the porn world Gonzo to the extreme vs. feature film. I like to do the latter, to give my characters a little more dimension than just a pretty gal riding a big cock.

March 3, 2017I wonder, did Mr. Donnan and Ms. Magowan have anything to say about camgirls who tweet “The human form is ALWAYS beautiful! #stopbodyshaming” one day, and the next, “Why do I keep getting dick pics, you animals!? No one wants to see your raging three-inch boner!”?
Further food for thought: Will 3DX and its trending toward superhuman penises forever limit its female audience? I fear what the default reactions to 3DX are becoming: Men: “Wow, that’s huge! Think of the possibilities…”; Women: “NOPE. There is no way that’s going inside me!” It seems the brain can’t help but self-identify with the sexual role it’s most comfortable with. Is this something exposure to dickgirls could change?

March 4, 2017In regards to the first situation, I think the most relevant statement from the same book by Professors Donnan and Magowan is “the desire for freedom and liberty within individual sexual rights brings with it other outcomes for participants who may be subject to partiality, exploitation and misrepresentation, thereby placing the issue of human rights at the centre of contemporary debates about sex and sexuality.”
The initial statement from the hypothetical camgirl is a political one. That is to say, it represents support for a social rights agenda. Does it represent her individual sexual preferences? Probably not. To that end, one cannot conflate her individual sexual preferences and her political views.
The second statement indicates that the sexual advances she is receiving, the dick pics, are unwelcome. Whether or not she previously indicated this is irrelevant. The distinction how now been made. Therefore, using her political views or the nature of her business to justify the behavior is victim blaming.
In regards to the second item about 3DX limiting the female audience, I think it is more individual. The main limitation will be whether or not the available content is appealing to individual sexual preferences, in addition to market expsosure.
Now, the increasing interest in Dickgirls could certainly be driving curiosity. Porn is often at the forefront of technological innovation. However, this will remain in the realm of fantasy for now. There are a variety of penis surgeries currently available, but the scope is limited. To bring Dickgirls, as commonly depicted, into the realm of the physical, biotechnology and robotics will need to catch up with the transhumanist vision for human augmentation.

March 2, 2017That makes sense!
Speaking of “fuckin’ huge” cocks, I would surmise that at least some of the reason for the larger than normal cocks, that are almost always fully erect, is to show that the dickgirls are fully ready and willing and able for sex. There’s no need for foreplay; their desire for You the Viewer is obvious. It’s not just that they have what it takes to satisfy – they are also ready to do so!

March 10, 2017Interesting observation. I guess a big part why the cocks are so huge is simply because they can be. I started out with more realistically sized cocks, about 8″ which is very large but within the realm of real porn. I got comments that the dicks were not big at all. 🙂
I have to admit after creating more monster-dicked dudes, that there’s a bigger turn on with it. In reality, such massive cocks would mean far more pain than pleasure. But in the 3DX fantasy, it’s fun to imagine the gal getting intense pleasure from getting stretched & railed by such a big cock.

March 4, 2017Astute observation. With porn, the viewer is an important participant in the scene. Whether the characters or actors break the third fourth wall (gaze at the camera instead of their partner) or not, is a conscious choice with the audience in mind. Personally, I prefer the fourth wall not be broken, as I would rather enjoy immersion in the identity of one of the characters, instead of having attention drawn to me as a separate participant in the role of voyeur.
