K.E. 19 "Faceless Males" and missing pieces This one ties deeply into yesterday's talk about story and context, and previous topics of detail + characterization. As a note, while I'll be framing this mostly in terms of straight cis smut, the ideas apply to any depicted partners!

So, especially when porn focuses on a single character, it's pretty common you'll see stuff like this. I do it all the time, too. The faceless crowd with no distinct identity is more a sexual prop than a group of characters, but it definitely has its uses, and I'm not strictly advocating against it.

The "random (super buff) dude who doesn't matter" has obvious reasons to exist -- self insertion, generic appeal, and of course to keep focus on a single character. But honestly, I wish it were used less, especially when actual characters with personalities bring so much more context to a scene.

As with the "low volume" entry, having a character who can show excitement, eagerness, appreciation, and basic horniness enhances those feelings in the reader too. The context is deeper and richer when the paired partner has their own motivations, desires, etc. And it makes dialog easier too!
