You could check out @missswap on tumblr for FTM stories and content

From: guest (Veteran) , 21 months, post #22

Even within their own fetish, the people who think this way are cancerous and are rejected. For a man to act like a woman, all he need do is reduce himself. But a woman cannot fathom how to act like a man. For she can never be more than herself. A man is greater than her conception of maleness. Men who act like women always act childish. Have you not noticed? This is why there aren't more female written FTM stories.

From: Shard , 21 months, post #23

They made movies back in the day that showed both sides (generally couples switching with each other), but even then they focused more on the man in the woman's body. I think more men consume body swapping content, and it always stays in a comedic tone, so when they write stuff they're looking to hit a bigger audience.

I like all transformations (I'm a 42 cis male), but I do find MTF more interesting just from having typical dude-bros put into a world they have always ignored. We all know men who know nothing about women, from walking alone at night (I've taught my sisters how to hold their keys and I've bought pepper spray and explained how to use it...I even had to explain all this to my best friend one time as we were discussing the Me Too movement), the overabundance of unwanted attention (and the fear of saying "No" to the wrong person, even just saying no in the wrong way can have a bad outcome), the societal pressures of watching your weight and looking desirable.....my friend has been dating a guy for a couple years and he seen a tampon in her purse and asked her "Don’t you need to change it every time you pee?".....and he's 32.

So that's why I think there's more of a focus on MTF. Things that are not mainstream can push boundaries and explore unconventional story lines, dip into more FTM or even risque taboo subjects, but that is all niche harder to find content. If there was more money to be had in FTM there'd be an overabundance of it as once they see potential in an idea they flood the market and see what sticks. Even MTF I don't think has hit it's peak, and transformation media never seems to stay in the public eye for long.

I just want to respond to the point made in earlier posts on this thread that there are more MtFs than FtMs in real life transgenderism.

Actually this was true 10 years ago but this is no longer the case now. In the last few years, FtMs are absolutely outnumbering MtFs among the recently transitioned. Most of those FtMs are/were teenagers when transitioned.

There is a lot of sexism, even in trans fiction, and not just gender, you will see more male werewolf films, more invisible man stories, more man to swamp monster stories, more male shrinking stories, more attack of the 50 foot man stories.

It’s just the world we live in and it’s getting worse in the USA now. There is a huge section of the global population who think women have no soul, and only exist to please men and make babies.

Thankfully with Trump in power, these people are crawling out the woodwork and saying what they really think. Only this week we had Fox News saying how women should all be baby making machines.

A man becomes a woman and that’s less competition for monsters, a woman becomes a man and that’s one less baby factory.

Depressing but true

You're angry other people aren't writing the things you want to read about instead of the things YOU want to read about. Dick move! But there IS a solution!!! Write it yourself!!!

From: greendoubleaught , 3 months, post #27

There are a lot of things tied up with this. I suspect for many, this is as much a submission fetish as a transformation or transgender one; the overlap with forced sissification, forced cross-dressing, curses, and punishment suggest that connection. Having done polls on what people prefer, there is a great tendency toward forced or imposed changes from outside, and getting stuck in the new shape. The amount of overlap with healthy transition and realistic adaptation to the new gender presentation is lacking; so I would not expect this to be a haven for actual transgender people looking to fantasize about the lives they want (although there are some, and I hear for many of them this is a phase they grow out of after transitioning).

There may well be an abundance of people with a FTM fetish, but how many of them find their way here? Here, where submission reigns and curses and punishment are traded? For them (for all I know) it’s not about submission, it’s about power, and it overlaps with some other fetish somewhere (bondage, domination, SA, harem fiction, revenge, bodybuilding and muscle growth, etc). Who’s to say? They’re not here to answer that question — if “they” exist.

Asking this question here is akin to asking “why aren’t there more doms?” on a BDSM board for subs.

From: guest (Louise) , 3 months, post #28

The inequality exists because I feel like most people aren't really interested in seeing a FTM MC struggle with the gender swap because in my very opinion, there's less you can do because people have a low tolerance of male characters acting feminine like all girly and stuff and that hasn't changed no matter how far we come in terms of gender roles. See, Its completely fine for male characters to act like dumb horny perverts but the moment they act feminine, that's when a lot of eye brows are raised. So if the male character acts too feminine for the comedy then if it's a romance series then I have a very hard time imagining the MC attracting ladies like that assuming they don't think of him as gay first.

From: Weirdoid , 2 months, post #29

A large part of the FtM appeal to me is freedom. Cis Men are not allowed to be feminine. Transwomen need to pass as female. A woman in a man’s body due to a FtM change has an excuse to be free to be herself without conforming to societies expectations.

To me, i just enjoy this genre as a fetish kink fantasy.

Sometimes i surf the interwebs for old stuff, like the stuff found on tgfa.org

From: guest , 2 months, post #31

Well, from what I personaly see, female transgender of FTM isn't that uncommon either.

Also, I love MTF but I don't identify myself as transgender, it's just hot to see MTF transformation.

From: guest (Headswap X) , 2 months, post #32

Why is there more MTF stories (erotica) than FTM?
Well it's the same reason that feminization kinks is much more popular than masculinization kinks. Depiction of male naked body is usually seen as less aesthetic than female body. In media, literature, art, etc both male and female audience also much more comfortable and desirable to see female naked body than male. In this aspect, transformation of female to male body is sort of like downgrade.

Since FTM have low erotic value, it makes sense that FTM stories doesn't appear much in erotic story sites because it doesn't sell well as fap materials for most audience. In Fictionmania FTM usually only appear as side characters, their struggle and sexual exploration doesn't get explored much.

Outside of Erotica it still hold true, FTM narrative is still scarce than MTF, of course there's nothing wrong with that, it just prove that FTM does lack mass-market appeal.

It doesn't mean that there's no good well-known FTM narrative, Mulan is a great example, Sailormoon have plenty FTM Crossdress (Sailor Uranus and Sailor Starlights), Oscar in Rose of Versailles is also a classic example about a story of a woman who's raised as a man.

---

Myself (straight male) personally like FTM but only if they are paired with other female or MTF, if it paired with other male it automatically become turn off. The appeal for me comes from when the female MC turned male, slowly have their sexual preference changed to like female, they later then enjoyed having sex with women while at the same time they are conflicted. Coincidentally I also like a stories about straight female MC who's brainwashed or slowly become lesbian. I believe this is also a niche interest which probably doesn't have widespread demand.

From: guest , 1 months, post #33

Sorry but I couldn't see what the appeal of FTM is.

From: guest (Shirow) , 1 months, post #34

Since the power dynamics of society dictate that men are more powerfull than women, it is not as taboo for women to wish to become men. Which is why a story like Mulan can become a disney movie but the opposite will never happen.

It is a taboo to drop from your pillar of privilege.

Taboos are better expressed weirdly, while rebelion against normal are better explored by other means.

From: guest (edia) , 1 months, post #35

I think it's also a difference in the male and female sexual response. Men respond more visually and have a more immediate response; women tend to look at the whole picture. E.g men look at a beautiful woman and will probably get aroused. Women look at a handsome man, but their reaction also depends on whether he is well-mannered, friendly and considerate, etc. Thus, when you are dealing with changes in appearance (e.g. non-sexy man to sexy woman) the change affects men a lot more immediately than women.

This is, of course, just a generalization, but the trend explains why there's a lot more MTF -- at least, of the type that men like. You'll notice that there's not a lot of MTF where "F" represents the matronly type, or a skinny waif, or a grandma -- someone who's not physically "hot". Women tend to like the more emotionally tied "Freaky Friday" type transformation where the change is in the behavioural characteristics.

As evidence, look at the hormone which causes sexual arousal. You inject this hormone into a man, and he becomes a lot more easily aroused. This hormone is testosterone. And in women, the hormone which causes sexual arousal is ... also testosterone. Women have a lot less of it. Of course they have other hormones which induce a motherly feeling, a "I want to snuggle up" rather than "I want to have rough and wild sex" type feeling.

So, I think that is the main reason there is this difference. This is just a niche that mainly appeals to men. Whereas somewhere out there is a forum about romances from bodyswapping that a lot of women frequent, and they might be asking, "How come we don't see a lot of men here?"

I've always seen it as "reduction" is more interesting. Loss of height, strength, status, etc. Going from the dominant to the submissive.

From: guest (troll) , 1 months, post #37

this is really funny, keep going guys or whatever you're. You're making good long term social science data for future archeologist.
