My stories have pretty much all been first-person. I have not tried to write from a man's point of view, although I have occasionally suggested male story lines to my writer friends.
If a story is well written with a good believable plot then it doesn't matter to me what gender the narrator is. With the comments from both genders on my stories I feel I have achieved some success in appealing to both male and female.
yes. it's important that the narrator has a gender. doesn't matter what it is, or if it's revealed, but they do need one.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
It doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
I love writing from the male point of view.

I have written from both Male and Female perspective and actually prefer to read stories from the female perspective though.
Writing from the male perspective is a little more challenging. I often write as I imagine a guy would see things or I would like to see him in that situation. I have three wonderful men in my life that can draw on the many experiences I have had with them and others. I grew up in close company with other girls with similar inclinations to myself and have occasionally drawn upon their experiences as well eg the Baby Sitting stories..
Being Bi I have also had many experiences with men and women in my life and I have used some experiences as a base line.
As for describing a male orgasm - I have been a partner in so many with various guys (and girls) that I can live the part I have enjoyed and experienced so often. Our orgasm's are often one of the subjects we discuss during pillow talk after the event. Good - bad - and indifferent.
Good writing ability is always a plus regardless of gender, but the obvious aside, it IS more interesting when the writer is a woman simply because women are, by and large, far less open (or so it seems to me) than men are about voicing explicit sexual fantasies. So to hear a woman actually voice those fantasies does make an erotic story far more of arousing.
I do enjoy reading stories that are narrated from the female perspective. Yet, like many that have already replied, if the story is well written the gender of the narrator really doesn't matter.
I don't really care, which gender an author is, except when writing from first person perspective. That somehow never feels genuine.
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.
Hey... pssst.... that's an l (as in luscious) at the end of my name, not an i I think it depends what the male perspective is like. Sometimes their thoughts are realistic but douchey so Id rather have the escapism of the womans more romantic mind.
As many have said Gender is not an issue as long as the story is interesting
Good girls say, "Don't........ Stop......" Bad girls say, "Don't Stop"
