What’s the appeal of gangbangs in porn? They can be considered extreme, most people would never want to experience it in real life, and how do straight men feel about seeing two penises touching? I figure out why gangbangs are so popular in modern porn.
Gangbangs are a very popular genre in porn. Most popular female pornstars seem to end up doing gangbang scenes, some including double penetration. It was interesting to me then, to find out in a twitter poll that the people were equally likely to like or dislike gangbangs in porn. I thought it would be a much higher percentage considering it’s huge online presence.

It does, after all, consistently come up in most searched terms for porn, with “extreme gangbang” gaining popularity in the past few years. There’s also a general consensus that although it’s not the most popular, it’s one of the best selling genres of porn. I had a lot of mixed replies on why people like or disliked gangbangs in porn.
I watch gangbang. It's because the actress will be more lewd , I think.

1) It's kinky 2) It shows men's eager to fuck women 3) It has to feel like a heaven for a girl involved 🙂

The mixed responses ranged from people who really loved it to those who really hated it. It’s really interesting that people have such a strong response to it, whether that’s positive or negative.
The most common reasonss as to why gangbangs in porn are so popular are:
1) It’s exciting/intense to watch
When you’re young, underwear ads are really hot. Then as you delve into the world of porn, first softcore magazines, then softcore videos, lesbian videos ect, everything just gets more. More intense, more extreme. It seems like the natural procession of porn watching. Of course some people find a place where they don’t feel the need for more. But some people seek the thrill and excitement of watching the most of what porn has to offer.
2) People like the BDSM aspect that is often involved
In a lot of gangbang videos, there’s a strong element of BDSM. The girls can be tied up, there can be a lot of domination from the men and it can feel very fetishy. BDSM has it’s own huge following, and so it’s logical to assume a lot of those people also enjoy gangbang videos. There is also the sense of powerplay in gangbangs, that goes beyond just BDSM, which a lot of people enjoy.
3) You can see all your favourite positions at once
Someone once described their enjoyment by saying “Do you like watching blowjobs? What about anal? So why not both at the same time?” and that made a lot of sense to me. With modern porn, people are easily distracted with thousands of clips at their fingertips, gangbangs offer everything so you don’t lose interest.
4) The girls come across as insatiable/ overwhelmed
Not including the gangbangs videos where the girls look uncomfortable (which is often on purpose, against part of the BDSM aspect) a lot of gangbang videos come across as a girl or girls who simply love cock. They love it so much that they want as much of it as they can get, and they want it right now. There’s definitely something appealing in that. Watching a girl get overwhelmed by cocks but still asking for more has an intense feeling to it.
5) More sex = better
Some people really do just like to go for quanitity. They want the most they can get, and gangbangs is as much as you can get. Simple but effective.
The most common reasons why people don’t enjoy gangbangs in porn are:
1) They only want to see one penis
Some men consider gangbangs to be too homoerotic. There’s no denying that if you’re double penetrating a girl, you’re going to feel another penis. Sometimes girls take two cocks into their mouths, so your going to be touching another man’s cock with your own. There are also often men waiting their turn just standing around wanking, so it makes sense as to why straight men might not want to watch it.
2) It pulls you out of the fantasy
A lot of people like to imagine themselves when watching porn. You can imagine that the girl is giving you a blowjob, and that it’s you fucking her doggy style. Harder to imagine it as you in her mouth, vagina and ass at the same time.
3) The girls look uncomfortable
A lot of gangbang videos go into the BDSM territory. There is a demand for the struggling, uncomfortable girl. This sub genre is so popular and common that some people want to just avoid watching any gangbang videos because they dislike seeing women uncomfortable like that. It comes across as misogynistic.
4) Guys don’t want to share
There is the very primal feeling of not wanting to share your partner with anyone else, let alone a room full of other people. Some people don’t enjoy the feeling of competition, others don’t like the idea of having to “wait their turn.”
5) It’s a spectacle
Some people just hate the fact that it’s so expected these day. It’s an extreme form of sex, that most people would never consider trying in real life, so it can be frustrating to see how saturated it’s online presence is. It can feel like a gimick, as if people are simply pushing boundries for the sake of pushing boundries.
