Why Futanari is Superior to Normal JAV
Introduction
"Futanari" is a unique fetish that comes from Japan. It is basically hermaphroditism in that the person in question, the "futanari", has both sets of genitals. If they are based on an existing character, that character is usually female, or, the character sometimes starts as a normal female, and then "transforms" into a futanari state. The futanari is also depicted as having breasts and usually has a female personality.
Futanari is rather rare in JAV (it's more common in eroge, ero-anime, or doujinshi), which I've always found strange, as fake penises are apparently used a lot in the medium anyway. That being said, I claim futanari to be the king of fetishes, and I'll explain why on a variety of levels.
Scenes Have More Variety

Newcomers will naturally find futanari to be strange at first, after all, you're essentially taking a girl and giving her a penis (which is often the plot of a lot of futanari works), but she also has her vagina. By having both sets of genitals, a futanari can ensure more variety in the content that can be witnessed.
By having two futanari in one scene as opposed to a man and woman, you can have both individuals ejaculating at once or in sequence. More semen in a scene always helps to make it more stimulating, at least for me. Each futanari could have their penises in each others' vaginas at the same time, which is something not possible with a man and female pairing, and I always appreciate unique concepts such as those.
With two futanari, one could be penetrating the other, but then things turn around, and the other futanari penetrates the first one. Things could switch up frequently, going from orifices such as the vagina to the mouth, to then transition to the other futanari with a different orifice. Basically, I'm saying it could get pretty wacky and chaotic quickly, and there's an appeal to that.
Futanari JAV also have some frequently seen fetishes, such as the futanari girls sometimes having members of comically and ridiculously large proportions, and said members are also capable of spraying inhuman amounts of semen:

While futanari movies are not that common, the ones that do come into existence are often adaptations of ero-manga or ero-anime. So, those with a penchant for such content will likely have the added bonus of seeing a live-action JAV of a certain futanari work sometime in the future.
As mentioned, futanari offers a lot of unique things to a scene, and more variety and different fetishes is always a good thing when JAV is involved, as it allows people to find more things that they like.
The "Best Part" of the Male Without the Male
I'm of the opinion that, while men are needed in JAV sex scenes, they can also be an obstacle when it comes to enjoying said scenes. A straight watcher naturally doesn't want to ogle the man, and would often prefer most his body stay out of the shot. JUQ-508 has some such moments where men are "in the way":
Actresses: Haruka Rukawa
With futanari, there are no moments where the "man is in the way", because the "male" in the scene is actually a woman! Yes, you can ogle and appreciate the beauty of multiple women in a scene, while still getting to witness penetration! Is there anything more glorious? This is the main reason why I believe futanari to be superior to normal JAV (most the time). While I don't want to diminish the importance of male actors, I just don't see much of a downside to having a futanari girl instead.
In a way, a futanari sex scene is a lot like yuri (girl-on-girl). The two female actresses will kiss, touch each other, and penetrate, so in a way, futanari could potentially entertain yuri enthusiasts too:

Orgies With Multiple Men Are Now Better With Futanari Instead
Orgies with multiple men, and especially bukkake scenes, while they are often great because you get to see women subjected to several penises/tons of semen at once, can often be a turn-off because of all the men around. More often than not, you'll be subjected to some dude's gross ass or way too many male faces on-screen. Futanari movies help eliminate this downside yet again, as instead of men, there are women you can longingly stare at:

Any usual scene that involves several men can be made more tasteful because of futanari, be it double penetration or bukkake. Even if seeing countless men in an orgy scene isn't that big of a deal to you, the fact that the actors could all be women with futanari penises instead is a nice change of pace. I'm sure anyone would want to witness something like that at least once.
It's Hilarious!
Seeing a girl with both large breasts and a dick is a funny visual in itself, much like the absurd premise of most futanari movies ("I woke up and there was suddenly a penis attached to me!"). As mentioned before, futanari girls tend to have unrealistically massive members, so it's hard to not laugh at something like that too. This helps make such scenes more comical and entertaining, and I believe comedy is always a great companion to sex and JAV. Sex is about pleasure and positive feelings, and humor also is a positive feeling, and sex by nature is already a rather humorous process, so both things go hand-in-hand quite well:
Actresses: Azusa Misaki, Kanon Momokou, Waka Ninomiya
Another part to the comedy aspect is that a futanari girl could possibly do something strange in a movie and still be seen as charming/attractive. For example, a futanari could helicopter her dick around and watchers might find it funny/attractive. If a male did this in comparison, perhaps not as much.
But the Dicks Are Fake!
Those who prefer witnessing real (albeit censored) genitalia may be put off by futanari JAV, as it is arguable to say that it's more impressive to see a real actor accomplish a genuine sexual feat with their own abilities. Futanari JAV naturally use fake penises, because girls do not have one themselves, and what's more, such movies have a certain tendency with their "girl penises", that being the futanari girls often have colossal members, usually to the point of it being hilarious:
Actresses: Azusa Misaki, Kanon Momokou, Waka Ninomiya
That being said, it should be noted that normal JAV often uses fake penises as well, which probably go unnoticed most of the time due to the censorship. To make a more pronounced point, ero-anime and eroge are also fictional, yet those are both popular mediums that can be extremely erotic. Not to mention, those mediums are often popular BECAUSE they're fiction, meaning, things that aren't possible in real life can be done in them, making them unique and interesting. The same could be said of a fake attachable penis in a JAV, or perhaps any convincing prop, as it allows the watcher to experience something that just isn't possible, and that is the whole point and the allure. I don't see how it being fake can affect your experience of watching a JAV, if it is convincing (well, unless perhaps if the penis is gargantuan, but that's a matter of taste).
But Is It Gay?
Be it seriously or as a joke, this is often brought up when futanari is talked about, as many claim that liking futanari content is "gay". While I've discussed at length whether staring at the man's penis is gay, I thought this was a topic worth revisiting. I'm assuming the reasoning is that, because watchers get attracted to the futanari's female attributes, such as their breasts and vagina, it's considered gay by these critics because the futanari also has a penis. I suppose this explanation has a small point. When watching a straight pairing in JAV, a male watcher typically doesn't watch the male and get sexually attracted to them (as most watchers of futanari JAV do when watching the futanari), they're instead watching the female.
However, it's not the penis you're necessarily admiring about the futanari, but her feminine aspects like the aforementioned breasts and vagina, as well as the other girl's vagina as its being penetrated. It could be a bit gay in one perspective, but also not gay, like I just mentioned. I mean, from the correct angle and if the actress is flat enough, you can't even tell in some instances whether or not she's a futanari or just a feminine male:
Actresses: Left: Rena Fukiishi, Hana Kano, Itsuka Momooka, Rabu Saotome Middle/Right: Aika, Yui Edagawa, Aya Mamiya, NIMO, Ririna Yamaoka
Strangely enough, this criticism isn't extended to girls wearing and using a strap-on, which is essentially the same thing as a futanari girl, save for the ability to "ejaculate". So in the end, does it even really matter? A penis is entering a vagina, and that's considered stimulating. If you find something sexy, it doesn't matter whether or not it's "gay".
Conclusion
I'm of the opinion that futanari is superior to normal JAV, as it essentially replaces the male actor with a female one, allowing the viewer to enjoy ogling all actors in a scene. The watcher can enjoy the act of penetration without being distracted by a male, and have the added benefit of comedy, with gigantic penises, or variety, by having multiple futanari in one scene. I just can't think of any examples where futanari could possibly make a scene worse, unless perhaps you're just simply not in the mood for it. Let me know what you think!
Comments
Another thing that I don't like are the cumshots, there is a parody of the Futabu hentai and in the animation their entire bodies get covered in cum, the adaptation they barely cum on each other and there is no good facial shot.
I hope they improve more the futa scenes in the future
