I watch trans porn and am severely addicted because my friends used to mock me for my smaller dick (it’s 5/6 inches so is normal) but as a black person I felt I had to adhere to norms communicated through porn. So I felt that I wasn’t judged when I watched trans porn, that she would enjoy my dick and not judge me and it’s just been my go to whenever I feel resentful of my dating life or how difficult women can be sometimes.
