Personally, I never consider myself as the POV character or whatever. There's too many situations where the POV character says or does some dumb ass shit that I'd never do, and I'd be embarrassed to be that guy. But my enjoyment does not come from controlling or "being" that guy. It comes from seeing how this person interacts with the world, much like reading a book or watching a movie. I'd imagine that most guys wouldn't self-insert as the female protagonist regardless of whether or not they're in an adult game. But for whatever reasons, a lot of guys can't separate themselves when it comes to male protagonists or male victims.
It's extra weird to me, because real rape is scary as fuck, but most guys don't seem to have an issue when a girl in a game is being sexually harassed, groped in their sleep, or shrieking in misery as they're being penetrated. But a guy getting cucked is too much for them, for some reasons. Like where do you draw the line when it comes to empathizing with a fictional character?
