There are plenty of male on male poses in the store.

But seriously...even here, it's a niche market. There won't be as much of that as there is of other couples poses.

Most of the ones i see are for micheal.  I just have the regular G8 and would prefer not having to buy a model.

The ones for Michael will work fine, since the character is G8 based.

True. The positions of the arms and legs will be off when using G3 on G8, or vice versa, but there's a pose converter over at DAZ, I think it's from ZeVo, that has a simple one click script to fix them.

What BrimstoneOmega said, anything G8M or G8F will work on any g8 figure. It's all the same bones and joints. The pose packs that say something stupid like "Sassy Jazz poses for Ophelia 8" is really just Daz's way of trying to confuse you and bundle poses with a new figure.

You will probably have to tweak certain parts of the body to make it look more natural or work with the other body, but that's to be expected. It's all part of the learning process :)

I'm someone that hardly EVER uses a box stock character morph. All of my custom characters are just that: custom. I'll combine morphs from dozens of characters and morph packs until I get something that I like, so to me, tweaking poses is just part of the workflow. 

All of my female characters are shorter than the default G8, since I don't know very many women that are 5'11", LOL. But...my male characters are all 5'9" or taller. This disparity moves everything around, so not only do I have to tweak hand, arm, and leg positions, I sometimes have to shift the entire character in either the Z or Y axis to get things where they should be. Tweaking and adjusting the pose is just part of the game.

it's so hot

There are 151 male-centric pose products in the store. Considering that they don't and won't sell like male on female or female on female poses, I'd say that's a lot. 

And...as has been mentioned previously, G8F poses(as well as G3F) will work just fine on G8/3M, if you're willing to take a few minutes to move some body parts a bit, which, as has also been mentioned, you will have to do anyway if you're using a custom character, even if that pose is designed for the same mesh that the character is based on. The takeaway here is that it can all be made to work if you put in just a little bit of effort. You're essentially repurposing a tool, like using a flat tip screwdriver to pry the lid off of a can of paint. It wasn't made for that, but it sure as hell works. Do we refuse to paint until a dedicated tool is created just for that task? Of course we don't. We use what we have, pop that lid off, and get to it.

I genuinely cannot understand your absolute refusal to tweak a pose. It baffles me. Unless you are using base G8M or M8 figures, you're already tweaking poses. Hands will clip into hips or thighs, the legs won't be exactly right, even if you're using a pose that is specifically designed for the mesh that you are using. Dude, I mean no disrespect. I've asked you this before, with no answer...do you use the base G8M or M8 characters exclusively, or do you make custom characters? If you do the latter, there's no way that you're not tweaking poses already! Why not branch out and use a female pose, and move things around a bit? It doesn't take a whole lot of effort. Use the tools that are available, instead of insisting on a very specific tool that won't sell as well as what's already on the market. Understand the vendors, and what drives them. Personally, I work for money first, passion second. You can continue to hold out until a vendor makes something that's nearly identical to a M/F pose set that already exists, if it even happens, or you can buy the existing M/F pose set and move things around a bit as needed until it fits into the theme that you're after. But hey, you do you. Your art is only as good as the effort that you're willing to put into it.

Precisely my point. Hell, even with a custom G8F character using a G8F pose, I have to move things like hands or legs, just a bit. The effort required when I use a G8F pose on a male character is no different, not at all. It's literally the same workflow. Back when I used Poser, I would adapt the UlfGens and the HiroGens to V4. Those peckers weren't designed for V4, but I took the time to make them work. In comparison to the effort and time that shit took, tweaking a pose in Studio is like getting up to grab another beer. It takes no time, and I enjoy the reward. We have a literal cornucopia of tools available to us. Some of them might not fit perfectly out of the box, but we can make them work with a bit of time. Refusing to do that based on principle and nothing more is to me, self-limiting. The Genesis meshes astound me with their versatility, and one of those perks is the ability to use poses on one that were designed for the other. They work, and get you 95% of the way there. That extra 5% is up to you, unless you won't go there...because you're not willing to. That's entirely on you. 

We have the tools. We have a huge variety of products from a lot of fantastic vendors here. The trick is to look past what they were specifically made for, and to envision what you can do with them. If you think that you can make something work to create an image that you want, why not give it a try? Poses are a no-brainer in that regard. Poses are a starting point, not an end result. You will always have to tweak them. Why is this a brick wall to creating art? I will never understand that mindset.
