Since we've already comparing people's preferences of breast size/shape and the real/fake aspect of porn actresses, we thought we'd move over to the actors.

So, guys and gals, when you're watching an adult film, what qualities make you say "Wow! Now that's a great/bad looking penis!"

Is it the shape? Girth? Length? Curve? Circumcised or not? Color? Or, is it more a "total package" deal where the "penis has to fit the person" much like how over-inflated implants look really bad on some actresses?

I think it has to fit the person.

Most of the time I think it has to do with coloring(for me) and also I prefer men shaven. Nothing is more of a turn off then long pubes getting everywhere. :/

I almost want to say it's a bit of a special indescribable quality.
But I think it's length, girth, shape (proportional to each other and to the person whose penis this belongs).

The only other thing we forgot to include in the choices that really ruins it are saggy balls. No matter how great-looking the actor is, the saggy balls kill it every time!

It does have to be proportional. I think coloring plays a big part too. But it should fit the person who has it.

I'll agree with proportionality.

I like nicely defined cock heads, no matter whether the man is circumsized or not. If the head of the cock is short or flattish or deviates a lot from the schema in my mind of what I like a penis to look like, then I find it less attractive.

I do want to mention that although I am in a LTR right now, if I were to meet someone and their penis wouldn't be my picture perfect idea of a penis, it wouldn't change my emotions for that person, and I wouldn't be grossed out and leave them.

Maybe this qualifies as saggy balls? When there's so much extra skin hanging between the penis and the testicles it looks like a chicken wattle. It's distracting for me when it looks like it's something that could be simmering in a soup base. That's just me and my personal preference. ~ Arms

Now THAT is hilarious! We'd have to agree, that's a little too much extra...um..."soup base"

Definitely shape and girth.

It's strange, but I really like larger—though not inhumanly gigantic—penises in porn when in reality I would actually turn an encounter like that down. It'd be way too painful!

But larger penises that have the right girth to length ratio are really enjoyable for me to watch.

Extremely saggy balls is also a distraction for me but I definitely don't expect all actors to have small, tight sacs.

It only bothers me when the men in porn have little ugly penises.

The ones I tend to go "OOh!" about are really girthy but get a little thinner at the head in one little bump. I've never been with a man who was shaped like this, but I like the look of 'em. Also 2 tone is fun sometimes...

I also enjoy really beautiful veins.

I have a really hard time enjoying cocks in porn because I really hate the look of guys who have been shaved. Sure, go ahead and trim things, but there's something about the sight of shaved balls that just grosses me out. I also really like a guy who has hair on his stomach and chest and so forth, and I feel ripped off when I watch movies with these hairless guys. I don't really care about the other qualities to the cock, just so long as the guy doesn't look like he's been groomed excessively.

I like long proportionate penises. Really long, but skinny penises just look weird to me. And I agree with Oohlookasquirrel, overly shaved men look like Ken dolls. I like real men, not dolls.

I think I must be the odd one out on this.

All cocks are fabulous to look at. I think I am a cock worshiper. I don't believe I have ever seen one that grossed me out. I think they are all beautiful...all shapes and sizes, saggy or not, hairy or not.

Lol! Yes saggy balls ruin it for me as well.

I completely agree. It doesn't need to be a jungle down there, but completely shaved is so... ew. I try to avoid porn that has a lot of penis close ups for that reason. I wish there was a way to search for "hairy penis" or something when trying to find stuff to watch.

I noticed a lot of people are voting for the circumcised or not option. I can't think of any porn with uncircumcised penises. Have any of you noticed many/any uncircumcised penises in porn?

Actually, there are quite a few uncut porn stars.

Now that you mention it, we've only seen a very small number (3 or less) of porn stars who are uncircumcised. Then again, we haven't really been searching for films that feature this specifically.

I expect the penises in a porno to be long, thick, and usually uncircumsized. It just looks better. Plus the women are probably loose, so if they're bigger at least they'll feel something (what? am I overstepping? )

It should be well groomed too!

I hate when I see a guy with a huge dick and tiny nuts! So that is the other thing.

A noticeable curve is not very nice. Also when ever you can tell that they spent a lot of time pumping, you know when its all super long and purple cause all the blood is at the top. That is not very sexy to me! Average size is between 3-5inches, I have no idea why they try make everyone's a damn foot long. I also hate to see a thin one! Or anything hairy! They seem to pink a lot of hairy ugly fat nasty men or some that their sexuality looks questionable! I really do not like to see this either. I like men with tats!
