According to PornHub research, “transgender” (transsexual) is the most searched porn category on the internet in Brazil compared to the rest of the world.
She had an increase of 84%, a very expressive number. This shows us that Brazilians are increasingly interested in looking for transgender companions.
However, what is the reason behind this increase in searches? Is there an explanation for the demand for transsexuals? To answer these questions, let’s first understand the difference between a transvestite and a transsexual and why many end up in the prostitution market.
Is prostitution a choice or a lack of opportunity?
It is necessary to separate what a transvestite and a transsexual person is, as these terms do not mean the same thing. A transsexual or transgender person is one who does not feel corresponded to their physical body.. For example, a person who was born with a man’s body, but who in his mind feels like a woman. So these people get implants, take hormones, and even undergo gender reassignment surgery.
Me and A transvestite is a person who was born with the physical body of a man, but who wears female clothing and hormones.. She does not feel discomfort with her genitalia and, therefore, does not feel the need to undergo sex reassignment surgery.
Of course, this is a very simplified explanation. But it already helps to clarify the difference between the terms.
Now, do transvestites who prostitute themselves do it because they like that job or is it because they lacked opportunities in their lives? In a society like Brazil, where there is still a lot of prejudice against the LGBTQI+ universe (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex) it is common for transvestites to be ridiculed for their choices.
This causes most to drop out of school and also to not get a job. Therefore, the only option they see is prostitution. That way, they take to the streets, use adult sites or even try to live abroad.
A Italy and Spain have been two countries that receive many Brazilian trans. There they work as luxury escorts and manage to make a living in this labor market.
Why are men looking more for transvestites?
Little research has been done to understand why this search for transvestite companions has increased in Brazil. A survey carried out by the American anthropologist Don Kulick in Brazil found that, during a month, 52% of the clients wanted to sodomize the trans, 19% asked for oral sex, 18% wanted an “exchange-exchange”, 9% preferred to be sodomized and 2% asked to be masturbated.
To obtain these data, programs made by five transvestites in Salvador in the 1990s were analyzed. Kulick came to the conclusion that men who seek a service with a transvestite are not, in general, gay, as common thought thinks.
There is still a lot to be analyzed in order to arrive at a conclusion as to why the search for porn and accompanying transvestites has increased.
Psychoanalyst Maria Rita Kehl sees two reasons for this increase. The first is that, as a woman with a penis, she awakens certain childish fantasies. The second is that transvestites demonstrate femininity in a very absolute way. Sometimes they are even more feminine than many women.
Also, he has every fantasy about having sex with a woman with a penis. This act, which in a way seems forbidden, encourages men to commit it even more. As if that way, there was more adrenaline in their bodies.
What are the means of work for transvestites?
Nowadays, transvestites are not just working on the streets as it used to be. The Internet is widely used as a work tool.. This may be one of the reasons for the increase in this search for trans companions, since it is no longer necessary to go out into the streets in search of a companion.
There are many sites that serve to publicize the services of each transvestite, where the client gets in touch and arranges an appointment. In addition, some have worked on websites that broadcast live, where the transvestite stripteases and even masturbates for the client on the other side of the screen.
Therefore, it is very likely that this search for trans companions will not stop growing, even in a country that still has a lot of prejudice against the LGBTQI+ group. With the help of the internet, transvestites get greater security to continue with their work and thus be able to support themselves.
