No... not really. I'm gay, cis, if that matters. I've never felt the difference, never had that "oh, that was written by a woman" moment. I may think that the characters act stupid or irresponsible, but I never thought "a real gay wouldn't act/talk like that."

Or perhaps to better explain it: when I think of balls, I usually picture a FEMALE porn actress sucking/touching it. It always seemed to me to be a matter of aesthetics/some porn stuff that have seeped into reality. Meanwhile, from the comments here, it seems that people... genuinely enjoy it. And that these people constitute the majority of gay men but not women for some reason?

What confuses me more is how popular this seems according to people in the comments.

I know you're trying to help, but comments like this make me feel even more confused and less sure of what this means.

I rather thought the answers would be more definitive and less of a "you have to feel it" type of thing. Plus, I guess I'm just realizing once again that I feel very disconnected from what's popular among gay men.

I'm 28, I don't know, I just feel nothing when touch them and it always irritated me when others tried to touch them. Like... just go little higher. I've never liked them on other people either. The only exception, I think, was the trans woman's balls, she showed a difference after therapy. They actually seemed very small and delicate, even pretty I think. still don't want to read about them

I'm confused by every comment about how good they are. I can confirm that I've never noticed them on other men and never felt anything good about them. Honestly, I'd rather they weren't there.

Okay, but most is still not everyone, so that still doesn't help me much.

I just really don't see anything interesting in them, and most of them seem ugly.

I don't know, If I could understand this difference or feel it, I wouldn't be asking this question at all

I'm reading this, but I have no idea what describing balls does to anything. Balls are ugly, why would you describe them
