For "menwritingwomen" writing it is just much, much, much more difficult for me to see what needs are being satisfied, or what kinds of desires are being fulfilled, that aren't just much more directly satisfied by actual pornography.

I feel that, but I suspect it's not super different, really. I don't know if this makes sense, but IMO, it's about what authors want (both physically and emotionally) from their characters but... those wants are very complex. I don't think menwritingwomen is solely about boobs, even though they're an obvious marker of that type of writing. And I don't think it can be fulfilled by porn because they're aiming for something more personalized and tailored. Just like women are when they write about weepy male characters who just want to be loved (and sexed up) to heal all their manly hurts or whatever.

But I'm not a straight man, so this is just spitballing here.

I genuinely can't come up with a good answer to the question of what desire is being satisfied by menwritingwomen writing, or at least, not one that isn't deeply depressing.
