Is cumshots esp facials so popular in porn because viewers are already fapping and thus identify with the male porn actor in closing scenes?

I mean if it was just about visually showing the male porn actor is feeling pleasure from ramming the porn starlet for hours, they would simply show the explosion of cum immediately after the cock is pulled out of the vagina or the girl's mouth. Instead practically all cumshot scenes esp facials has the guy jerking off for a few seconds if not minutes before shooting out and the guy even continues masturbating while jizz is spilling out and afterwards.

It makes me wonder if ending scenes with cumshots esp on the face is so popular specifically because the guy is shown masturbating which is something male viewers are already doing and thus identify with? Esp as sperm is flying out (since so many porn viewers specifically rewatch the ending facial because they seem to want to ejaculate around the same time the porn actor does on the girl's face after some jerking off with hands)? Like viewers wish they were in the actors' shoes while the hot chick is experiencing white liquid splattering all over her face?

*I* heard / read years ago, that facials became popular to further demean the actresses. Similar to .. a number of years ago, male stars started to STEP ON the actresses faces while in doggie / piledriver, etc. positions.

Its popular because a lot of us like it. For those that don't, there's creampies, body cumshots, swallowing, and all manner of finishing. The psychology of facials can be taken many ways such as marking ones territory, degradation, and a host of others. I've had girls who've never seen porn want cum on their face, so its definitely a two way street.

In the beginning of porn videos many decades ago supposedly it was done to show the sex in the scene and the orgasms weren't faked. If I had to guess it stuck around because it became so customary and associated with the genre.

If I sneeze out of my nose lady gets out of way. If I sneeze out of my wiener lady gets on her knees and wants to eat my cock snot. Seems gross but I don't ask why because I like to watch.
