Do women actually like porn or is it just a myth?

Porn is mostly attractive to

People who lack a sexual partner
People with specific kinks

Women rarely have issues finding sexual partners while men often do.

And women's most common kinks are vanilla enough to be satisfied by said partner, e.g. domination, rough sex. Male fetishes are a lot more specific and deviant.

women who claim to be into porn and everything that is shown in porn is just trying to be that woman in the group. its like broads saying they enjoy going to strip clubs by themselves.

Video porn or porn in general? Because from my observations prose and fanfiction/fanart porn has a huge female fanbase compared to video porn.

Rather than asking let's just look at the numbers: porn is a huge industry. Lots of money there. They'd gladly make more by selling to women too.

And yet feminists routinely lament that most porn is aimed at men.

Clearly the market just isn't there for women oriented porn audiences or else about half the porn produced would be geared towards a female audience.

Sure some porn is and some women watch porn.

But it's a drop in the bucket.

There are so any types of porn/erotica- I doubt what I am consuming (still photos, erotica, occasional gif) is close to what an average man is viewing. I still like my porn though...

I am into it.

Electra_Cute · 2017-05-11T16:19:27+00:00

I enjoy pornography time to time, however most pornography is made for a male audience, so finding something I want to watch/look at is difficult.

CoolLad · 2017-05-11T13:57:30+00:00

I think it would likely be false to say that men and women watch porn at the same rates

I like READING it. Visual porn though? I use it as a means to an end, which is sleep after tiring myself out from jilling off.

I'm into porn, but it takes time to find a video that won't immediately disgust me. Things that turn me off completely: gagging, spitting, and anything related to anal. Unfortunately, a majority of modern porn videos contain these things.

UhKhat · 2017-05-11T15:07:17+00:00

I like porn - more written than visual though usually. Although in the right mood, visual porn is a turn on and kind of interesting too. I doubt I like it as much or use it as much as most men do, but to say that 'women don't like porn' is overstating it. Not sure you why it's hard to believe that women can be into porn - it's certainly not a myth...

TheChemist158 · 2017-05-11T15:48:31+00:00

I use to use it. Still occasionally do when my SO is away, but for the most part I just have sex with him rather than get off to porn.

Personal answer: Some of the fanfiction I read is pornier than videos, but I don't really like video porn (I assume this is what we're talking about in this thread). I'll watch it sometimes, but I need to put myself in the mood before starting the video. I can only remember enjoying one porn video (no idea which it was though), and there's only one I've watched more than once. Most of the time I feel like it doesn't look like anyone is enjoying themselves.

I see a lot of women and and even feminists online claim to be into it for some reason.

Some are. Of course some women like porn as much as the average guy, and I'd guess that number has increased recently, but generally men definitely watch more porn than women.

wtknight · 2017-05-11T20:04:17+00:00

Many women do. Some don't. The percentage who do enjoy it is probably less than the percentage of men who enjoy it.

mistresswhat · 2017-05-11T20:53:06+00:00

Some do, some don't, people are different?

But honestly, porn is not aimed at women and even when I do feel like watching porn it's kind of an ordeal to find something where (1) the guys are actually attractive, and (2) the guys aren't shoved off to the last fifth of the screen and the rest is taken up by some lady I'm not attracted to.

Like at this point I only bother if I'm in the mood for my one specific kink that porn is actually good at, otherwise I use my imagination.

Most of my female friends watch porn at least occasionally, but I've def had the talk with another friend about how finding the good stuff is such a fucking ordeal that we end up spending most of our time searching for that one good video we saw once.

Statistically, 1 in 3 porn viewers are women, so that would be a lot of ladies who don't enjoy porn looking at porn on the reg for the sole purpose of convincing the world that ladies like porn, which seems unlikely to say the least

ClarityofDisaster · 2017-05-12T15:15:45+00:00

Porn is great, not just for when you need to rub one out alone but also very fun to watch/share with your partner. My bf and I send each other links to porno vids we find especially hot or show activities we want to try ourselves.
