Oh my God do you need to really understand what I mean. So humanoid characters aren't always that realistic well they are but almost all of them have some form of muscle meaning they take working out seriously. My whole thing is it definitely adds a sense of submission to a character. Sea Salt is probably one example as well he's meant to be 5'6 which interesting enough is my height. I actually think Sea Salt would be stronger than me.

muscular men are a pretty popular fetish for anyone into men

not everyone, i'm personally moreso into the svelte and chubby, but it's still incredibly common

also who the hell is sea salt?

Their account was made back in 2021. Sea Salt has kind of lost popularity and they might not know what was popular in 2014 cause they are new to furry porn I guess. Personally yeah I think Sea Salt was more popular in like 2014 and has just lost popularity as the artist doesn't want to make comics anymore.

yeah immediately after saying that i looked up the tag and recognized the dog, i guess he never really grabbed me enough to memorize his name

altho sea_salt is a pretty good example of what op was talking about in the first place. even characters who are supposed to be more skinny and conventionally built than the big beefcake bara they're paired up with are still typically pretty fit compared to most actual real-ass people out there

I was able to figure out what you meant it's a Japanese manga thing. I don't know why the link doesn't just give you the right Wikipedia article.

Because e621 thinks that the ) is not part of the link. Get it to include all the characters by putting it like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bara_(genre)

I know of him, but i'm an old lurker. but he does mostly appeal to the gay crown obviously

i think there are artists for all the tastes, some draw more realistic characters but porn is always about a power fantasy more than reality... also in these sites u find people that never had sex for one reason or another so most sex stuff is so exagerated is out of the realm of real stuff like for a longshot lol

wish i could answer, since godlike looking buff guys don't do much for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Artist and audience projection. Not only do they want to be paired with a character they find attractive, they also want a character they're associating themselves as to also be attractive. As Dripen Arn says, most of us aren't as attractive as we'd like to be.

This isn't really isolated to gay men. You can go into the male/female tag and see a majority of men and women with fit and muscular bodies, it's just what people find attractive. If anything I find gay men a bit more inclusive of different body types, like dadbods, bears (not in a furry way), to just general chubby boys. That's just how I see it, though.

For me I don't understand how you can be into males and don't like muscules or manly feeling. That was the main reason why I'm into it. But I already noticed such weird for me things like girly males or femboys that I instantly skip, so everyone have own tastes about it. I think I will see female scene instead if you can't got manly feeling from male scene.

I like twinks. I don't want a huge 10ft tall 400lb hunk of muscle. I want to see slim but not muscular guys that look like me.
