ENF vs ENM. Which do you choose and why?

[superevil7]

Let's just have it out finally. You have to pick one. Which do you choose, ENF or ENM? Explain why.

[Moonshine+CC21]

ENF. ENM doesn't do much for me at all. Not interested in reading about dicks. Then again I ain't much fan of reading about pussies and tits but it's more preferable. It's hard to actually pin point why I don't like reading about guy humiliation. Even in general. since I like girl humiliation and the process of the story.

As a cishet guy I greatly prefer anything with women as just a universal default status, although I do like some ENM content if the guy is timid enough and the girls thirsty enough. But a large number of common ENM tropes are outside of my interest range. I'd say the main advantage ENM has over ENF as both a writer and reader is the fact that a helpless nude male has WAY more content options regarding reluctant public orgasms. ENF though has numerous advantages over ENM, such as the higher number of private areas making coverage significantly more difficult, the enhanced sexuality of the female body making the witnesses more overtly horny, and the significantly-higher shame of female nudity in society as a whole. Women are also more plausible in a lot of submissive roles, as generally men would just fight back unless they're too young to overpower the girls/adults messing with them.

All-in-all ENF is my preference between the two by a large margin.

Bad formatting of your question. Many people, like me, like both options equally. Limiting the response to just two options (ENF OR ENM) biases your results making any outcome to your poll possibly baring no resemblance to what people might really like or think.

Poorly constructed Polls worded like this account for many political polls these days showing one thing when ultimately the results are exactly opposite. (Like in the UK when polls years back showed that the majority of people in Scotland wanted to leave the UK when in fact the overwhelming majority of people ultimately voted to stay in the union. The same is true of polls showing Hilliary Clinton in 2016 and Harris in 2024 running away with the US elections when in fact Trump was elected in landslides. The same is true in Businesses where the company Cracker Barrel conducted surveys showing people were tired of the old restaurant decor and food and spent hundreds of millions to change things then ended up with a major customer revolt costing millions in the last year alone (10% of company earnings in just 10 months) that the company had to dump their plans mid-stream. The same was true when US President Kennedy opted to invade Cuba in the 1960's on the unanimous advice of his advisors when privately each advisor thought that was a mistake. That fiasco led to the coining of a new term "GROUPTHINK" where people privately think one thing but publicly say another.)

I suspect ENF stories are way more popular than ENM stories here, but with the way your poll is constructed we may never know what members might really like as people who like both will never be heard as well as non-members not getting a chance to vote as there many more people who read stories on this forum that don't sign up.

Just an academic thought from underneath the shade tree.

I'm a member of a rare subspecies of Embarrassed Naked People writers. Perhaps half of my stories exhibit nudity of both the male and
female. I do write more ENM than I do ENF, and I basically reject pure CFNM in my writing. I also reject the creativity crushing formula of
strict heterosexual interests on the part of the characters.

Several times I have used a major character who shows inclinations toward possibly being bisexual, and this can be more embarrassing for a
guy than what a girl can throw his way. I want to embarrass a protagonist in as many ways as is realistic to the story. I've even teased a guy
with a transgender character.

Coming of age stories is my main focus, so both the male and female main characters are typically in their early teen years. First sexual or public nudity situations is what interests me, so for ENF reading I've enjoyed the works of Neverdoubted, Perseus, BareB4u, Themarble, and others
who write main characters of this age group.

So as Hooked6 wrote, having only two choices doesn't show the whole picture of this diverse group of readers/writers.

I'll admit I was trying to be a bit provocative with this post. Not trying to alienate anyone, just get some discussion going.

As I'm sure most would guess, I'd say ENF, but the funny thing is that I take a lot of influence from ENM when writing. In the way I have males treat the ENF characters in my stories, mainly.

I'd say I agree with Executionus, being a straight guy, ENF is more appealing to me. When I'm writing ENM, and put myself in the male characters shoes, I'd almost prefer to leave out the E. For me, it's about the idea of feeling so desired, that the female character(s) would ignore my consent to what is happening.

Anyway, I hope that's coherent. I was just thinking about all this since I started up a new ENM story.

This was my answer to a similar question that I posted in another thread.

What brought me here? I don’t remember how many years ago, but I found the site about five years ago. I was always looking for ENF stories. I found many, and loved them. I also wrote rough drafts of many ENF, and have many that I fantasized about but never wrote down.

I don’t recall if it was here or some other site, but I read a story that I thought was ENF, but it had an ENM first person perspective to it, and the character had a huge penis. Before that I had no interest in ENM stories, but for some reason, this story reminded me of my childhood. I had read many stories in the ENF section, and decided to read a couple ENM stories, and I found some I liked.

Since ENM was not my forte, [based on some ideas from other stories (both ENM and ENF)] I decided I need to write it down, before I forget it, which was “Closed Pool.” I have not completely finished it, I’m too busy with other stuff. After reading “Nathan the Unlikely Nudist” from Themarble, I wrote a similar story “Richard, Accidental Nudist,” which I also need to finish.

Over the past two years, I didn’t have time to write, but I did read some ENM and many ENF stories. I especially enjoyed the (ENF) Thornwood series, and then I read a story within the last six months that I can no longer find, an ENM story about how a teenager became an exhibitionist. That sounded interesting, and with that I started writing something that started out similar but with Thornwood on my mind, turned into “Swim Meet.”

As soon as I get “Swim Meet” within two chapters of being finished, I’m going to concentrate on writing ENF stories before I forget them.

I just remembered, I do have one ENF story that I started writing two years ago, but am less than half complete, called “Testing Lab.” I may change the name before posting.

If I had to chose like that, then ENF. There's just something about girls modesty that feels more meaningful and precious in our culture and society. But I'm bi, and would very happily see both females and males blushing, embarrassed and squirming

As long as I get to be the audience or the orchestrator and not the person being bared (that's just a bit naff as I have next to no body/natural shame and also not submissively inclined...) and ideally if the person blushing has somewhat of an innocent/naive/youthful vibe then I'm happy as a pig in muck!

[montyblanque]

Like some others here, I really would have liked to see a BOTH option, as I feel stories that include both genders in the embarrassment shenannigans (especially those that flip the voyeur exhibitionist roles) deliver an interesting story that is greater than the sum of just an ENM and ENF story.

Straight-leaning Bi here, also not really able to choose. Definitely a provocative pose with your initial post!

In both cases, I like both sides of the equation -- imagining the subject's mix of feelings at being exposed and also imagining being witness to the secrets of the subject's body being shared (especially for the first time).

When I'm writing ENM, and put myself in the male characters shoes, I'd almost prefer to leave out the E. For me, it's about the idea of feeling so desired, that the female character(s) would ignore my consent to what is happening.

Yes, this. When imagining myself as the subject, a huge driver is thinking about the pleasure of the perpetrator(s) outweighing my need for body autonomy.
