Why do MC's need such big dicks

[OnyxShadow]

1) Its fantasy. Big tits and asses, big dicks, flawless skin, no unsightly flaws, etc. are all part of the ideal body.

2) Visibility. Small dicks, small tits, etc. all become hard to see unless you have a perfect angle.

3) Impact. Big dicks get more of a reaction from the girl taking it both in terms of facial reaction and arousal. Also, big dicks stretch pussies/asses to a more noticeable degree.

The better question is why the real porn industry has such a high prevalence/tolerance for small/mediocre/ugly dongers.

Because big dicks are hot

It becomes a connection problem when the ass is big and the dick isnt. A good game that had the MC's member smaller than almost every other male in the game was Adventures of Willy but he got around that with camera work but it still left some scenes lacking.

Adding a couple of inches is practical as allows to pose the male further away, thus the female is less obscured. However above certain size and the inverse is true, the monster dong itself will obscure and posing female orifices' becomes more difficult and the results just look plain bad.

Because the whole point of playing these games is to put yourselves in the shoes of the MC. Who wants to be the main character of a game with a epenis? I mean there are even games here for that but it's a pretty small fanbase kink.

That makes sense.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be better, from a self-insert POV, to have a more average character banging loads of hot girls?

Players of indie porn games have, by and large, learned the language of those indie porn games. Big dick=protagonist. Small dick=opponent/cuck. Big tits=hot girl/milf. Medium to small tits=18-year-old stand-in for younger teen/sometimes an Asian lady. Seeing another guy bang any lady=cuckold simulator, sex with somebody with a penis and small boobies=heterosexual sex that shows up late in a large game's development cycle, minigames=chores that stand in the way of sexytimes, etc. etc.

When people mess with those equations, it gets difficult for some players to appreciate the game, and they start to worry they're getting bait-and-switched or that something will get in the way of their immediate gratification. It also doesn't help, re the original topic, that culture is so fixated on the idea that bigger=better up to the point that there's basically no upper limit on how much bigger a dick can be before it stops being better. In a way, I think this is the fallout of some of the more famous written porn (greyarchive, Fenoxo's stuff, Free Cities, lots of stuff on literotica) going beyond the realms of feasibility and even at times possibility when fantasizing about how big 'big' boobies actually are, and how big a 'big' dick is. Often, if we're honest, because they haven't had much or any real sex beyond masturbation and rely on Internet stereotypes for basic sexual education even about things like what cup size big boobies are. IRL, on a thin woman, C-cups are big boobies. IRL, 6 inches is a long dick. But in porn games, D-cups often mean a lady is the least stacked of the bangable girls (my God, what jailbait! She ONLY has D-cups! She's just there for the guys who wanna fuck high school girls or younger!), and 6 inches is ridiculously small for a penis in most porn games, to the point where girls might well point and laugh at a 6 inch dong in a porn game.

Now, I don't think any of this means devs can't or shouldn't make games with more realistic dick proportions. Lots of games have already caught on to the idea that B-cups can indeed be lovely boobs (for clarity, I'm on team C-cups or bigger please, but I don't begrudge people making games for other people too), so I don't see anything special preventing a general shrinking of dick sizes by some porn game devs as well. The more difficult to overcome barrier is probably just that it's uncommon in porn games, and thereby a risk.

But on the other hand, it's shitty to tell a game dev that they're wrong to put only big dicks in their game, or that it's bad to have a big dicked protagonist, or that they can't have huge titties in their game, or even that all the sex and proportions have to be not just realistic but relatively common. Indie porn games are great because people can, in theory, make whatever the fuck they want, even if they often fall into similar tropes to what others do. So, much in the way that there have been more gay games lately rather than fewer heterosexual games, I think there should be more average-dick-size (or smaller) protagonist games, but not fewer big dick protagonist games.

Artistically it's also easier to handle perspectives with larger objects. Foreshortening on a small dick can make it look like a little chub.

Also, if the dev is using Daz to create the images for the game, many of the preset poses and animations are designed for using the larger than average penis assets. They simply don't work with an actual average dick.

 

[kintarodev]

From my own experience messing with Daz back in the day, 'bigger rot' made easier to pose it as also the characters involved in the action.

Now, with more experience posing 3d characters thanks to using other 3d softwares, I realize it's not that necessary when you have enough skills and patience.

If we talk about 2d hand painted art, then it's just an art direction choice....

 

[ANormalIdiot]

To appeal to the audience of course.

 

[hakarlman]

99% of porn game devs don't know how to customize the 3d dicks in DAZ Studio. That's why the dicks are always too big in porn games with 3DCG. Sometimes though, in some rare cases, the dev actually knows what he's doing when making a HUGE dick, and can pull it off: https://f95zone.to/threads/cockham-superheroes-v0-4-epiclust.109898/ that's rare though.

What makes this worse is that people give $$$ to these devs, rewarding them for their incompetence and ignorance. Then what makes it even worse is that other devs actually think this is what the end user wants.

In 2D you can often get away with huge dicks, but in 3D you've got to obey the rules of avoiding the Uncanny Valley.

I don't have an issue with biggus dickus MC's, I just wish more people would be willing to make MC's with uncircumcised dicks, I think that would be a bit more appropriate to be fair. Plus, I think someone answered in this thread already, it's easier to show a certain action with a bigger dick without having to make 30 different angles just to show the penetration a bit better, could also be a fantasy, most people with a smaller dick size wishes or fantasize of having a big dick, so I don't really see a problem with that, imo.
