No, it’s not, and I really wish people would stop tagging it as such because male on female is a real boner kill for me
(Derpibooru is alright with my futa filter though, I’m complaining about general internet)
Then instead of trying to figure out whether liking dickgirls is gay or straight, we can just agree that it’s both androphilistic and gynephilistic.
Not necessarily. The only times dicks do anything for me is when they’re stuck to female or female-identifying character. I’m pretty much exclusively “gynephilistic” and the dicks are only an exception in that specific context.
On a slightly more academic note, this is part of why I think we ought to just drop “gay” and “straight” as sexuality labels already and start using something along the lines of “androphile” (attracted to masculine characteristics) and “gynephile” (attracted to feminine characteristics) instead.

Really need some snappier names for those, though. :/
I like futa, and I’m straight. Here’s why I don’t think futa qualifies as “gay”:
By definition, futa encomes both male and female characteristics. As being gay implies attraction to the same sex, futa can’t be “gay” by definition unless you’re either genderfluid or intersex. If you’re male, it isn’t gay because the female attributes are part of the attraction and if you’re female, the male attributes are part of the attraction. You could make an argument for it being inherently bisexual, but not gay.
Sexual orientation deals with attraction to a given gender, not sets of attributes. A guy is only gay (or bi) when he’s attracted to other guys, but futa characters often aren’t. A futa character can be (and very often is) identified as a female character who just happens to have a dick. The addition of male genitalia is just an extra piece of biology on a girl rather than being a “male” character. Since the character is usually identified as female, dick or no dick, it isn’t “gay” for a male person to be attracted to them.
Personally, that’s my own experience with it: I don’t consider myself gay or bisexual because I’m simply not attracted to men/male characters. A futa character, despite the dick, is still feminine and female.
Because I know somebody is going to dredge up the whole “but you like dick!” thing, I think it’s worth pointing out why I think adding a dick to a girl makes them hotter: it’s a matter of identification. In general, I think a picture or story or whatever is more arousing when I can somewhat identify with the characters. I have a dong, thus when presented with a character who also has a dong, I get that sense of identification. Unfortunately, in non-futa stuff that identification is offset by the fact that I don’t find dudes sexy. Futa, however has both girls, and that sense of identification.
Spinning off of that point, I think a lot of the reason straight guys (I can’t speak for the girls) like futa is because it allows for penetrative sex without the need for a strapon or other toy. Most guys will agree that girl/girl is hot, but for some people it’s hard to get into it because of the lack of penetration, and it’s just not the same when they’re using a dildo or something. In short, futa allows you to have the type of fucking guys do (i.e. one party is actually using their genitals to penetrate the other one) without actually having to look a hairy dude-ass bobbing around, which is one hell of a boner-killer if, like me, you aren’t into that.
TL;DR Liking a chick with a dick =/= liking dudes.
…hot damn this was a long comment. I should just make this into a blog post on fimfiction or something so I can just link to it next time the subject comes up.
Oh, and point 5: so fucking what if it is? Seriously, who cares?
I’m straight and I like futa. People who say that liking futa makes you bisexual are also wrong. I would never have sex with a guy, so I’m not bi by definition.
I have a friend who just likes to talk about shemale porn like it was casual thing and he’s right. There’s nothing gay about it. We are just normal guys and we even have girlfriends so yeah, totally gay.
@TexasUberAlles
You’re insinuating that a male cannot ‘like dick’ because it makes him gay/feel gay. Now consider the following, how many males enjoy sex/masturbation? Both of which are things which involve a good deal of attention and use of… A dick.
Just going out in a limb here, but I’m betting that even the straightest of men get off on/with their own dick. It’s more the male form that many do not get off on, hence why you get people who stick the fun bit on a female body. If one cannot enjoy ‘dick’ without feeling ‘homo’ as you put it, I’m fairly sure that things such as masturbation and heterosexual porn would be just as shunned as futa.
At the end of the day though, why does it really matter? If people can enjoy pictures of cartoon horses having sex with each other, there’s no reason to condemn people who want their pony porn to have a magical female dick.
@Princess♠Molestia
Futanari exists because a loooooot more hetero guys like dick than would ever it to it in public, and chicks with dicks let them get off on dong while insisting that there’s NOTHING GAY ABOUT IT NO SIR NUH UH NO HOMO.
bro’s last comment was about futa 💀

Oh yeah, they’re practically unicorns.

You’re assuming sexuality can be graphed on a spectrum, rather than requiring n-dimensional Hilbert space.
@Wryte
I agree with both of you on every point.

With the way a lot of folks are about gays, though, do we really blame dudes for not wanting to be seen as gay, though?
A lot of people still treat gays pretty damned shabbily.

Makes sense to me.
I fully accept this exPlanation.
Nevermind. It’s fixed.
