Do women like Porn?

Remember that more than half of all paperback books sold are romance novels. Remember also that the Romance genre is basically the only corner of modern literature where you can get away spending more than a paragraph on the sex act--or show more than a paragraph's worth, either. (Sexy Discretion Shot, begone!) Finally, remember that romance novels are purchased primarily by women.

Do women like porn? By and large, it's a male-oriented industry, so it's probably not surprising if the average woman has tried it and found that it doesn't have much to offer her. What this does not mean is that this woman does not like sex. It seems that she does, at least if the above facts are to be trusted (and I urge you to make up your own mind on the matter). She just don't like sex the way porn presents it.

Have you ever read anything by Chuck Palahniuk (he wrote Fight Club)? Definitely not romance, but tonnes of sex. I learned terms like sounding and pegging from his books.
 
Domina Doll! Great Thread...

I love porn but I am only interested in the cut to the chase action scene after action scene. I've been into it since college when I really discovered my sexuality and developed my interests.

Funny story: When I was in college I had a dorm room to myself and one of those tv/vcrs combos. A few of my friends, while I was away for the weekend, borrowed my tv and brought it to the dorm lobby to watch a movie they rented with other friends (maybe 15 people in total). Well, I forgot to remove one of my filthy tapes of DPs (scene after scene) and when they plugged in the tv I'm told the video started playing in front of everyone! I wasn't there but I got back to campus I got a LOT of attention from the guys and a lot of shit about it from my girlfriends. My secret love of porn was not so much a secret anymore! *LOL*Do you watch it alone of with a lover?
I have watched with lovers but typically I watch them alone.

Online or rent DVDs?
I have a few DVDs and tapes that I've purchased. Occassionally I'll watch something free online but since my DVDs are scene after scene for hours on end (and I dont watch them daily anymore) I dont tire of them.

How comfortable are you watching porn with your lover?
Depends on the lover. If it's a vanilla relationship it's more difficult but if it's someone open minded then it's not an issue at all.

What genres of porn do you find appealing?
DPs, threesomes, gang bangs, anal, femdom & strap-on play.

What genres do you hate?
I don't really enjoy the more traditional porn - there HAS to be some kink or something more extreme to it then 2 people fucking.

What directors, stars do you like?
I dont really have favorites.

Do you think porn is misogynous? What about women-made porn?
Not generally but it CAN be depending on the genre you choose. Never seen women-made porn to compare.

Can porn be called sex-positive?
Positive for us sexually? Sure! It allows us to explore something in more depth without actually doing it.

Can porn teach us anything?
Yes. depending on the porn you watch it can teach us about new things that we've yet to try.

Do you ever watch educational porn to learn a new technique, like Nina Hartley's Guides?
No; I never have.

Would you ever consider making your own DIY porn?
Perhaps if I was able to hide my identity. I'm not interested in having co-workers recognize me in my vanilla life *L*

What about porn spoofs (Star Trek, the Bradys, Twilight) have you or would you watch these?
Nope. Doesn't really interest me. Give me my porn down & dirty.

Love your taste in porn!
 
Alone, because I've never had a lover who was into watching it with me. I don't mind lovers who watch porn by themselves to masturbate, because I think a little "me time" is important for both of us. I did break up with a guy over this once, because he liked to watch porn (which I didn't mind) but then he lied to me about it. Which I did mind.

Ugh... why do guys even try to lie about this?

C'mon guys. Admit it. We're visual creatures; we like looking! And just because we look it never says anything about infidelity, cheating or otherwise. I've always tried to be upfront but also re-assuring in all of my relationships. We like to indulge from time to time in a fantasy world (why do you guys think Disney made a fortune at his theme parks?!).

I've always loved being able to share that "naughty" side of me with a woman. I want to know what she likes. I like a confident woman who knows what gets her mind off- the body soon follows and then we'll both be better off for it! It's all about being able to communicate not just verbally, but visually and to be able to support one another emotionally too if the other person feels a bit inadequate (even though they shouldn't). Being able to share this "dark side" has always been a major turn-on for me.
 
The questionnaire, asks about online (Internet) and DVD but not Porn Channels.

Just curious if anyone watches Porn Channels? I just subscribed to the Dish network and have the Playboy and Venus channels but due to the holidays and all I haven't had time or patience to look at them. Every time I scroll past them and stop to try and see what the program is like, they are just humping away with an excess of grunts, heavy breathing, etc. and haven't seen anything that would get my attention. I had hoped for some romantic movies that would include hot, realistic sex as a result but not as the complete focus, game shows, comedy, etc. etc..

I admit that I am a total newbie to TV porn but have found little or no value to these channels. How about you? Does anyone have any advice or recommended programs on these channels?

Thanks,
 
Do you watch it alone of with a lover? Both.
Online or rent DVDs? Online.
How comfortable are you watching porn with your lover? Perfectly.
What genres of porn do you find appealing? TV/TS/"Shemale" genre even though I hate that word, Heavy Bizzare Rubber bondage genre, cute queer reality porn stuff, like NoFauxx or Crash Pad series, and gay porn unless it's really boring twink on twink vanilla fucking.
What genres do you hate? Most others
What directors, stars do you like? The Bob's T-Girls and Trannypack sites, DeliaTS's site, Gwen Media, House of Gord - as for stars Carla Novaes is really, yum...
Do you think porn is misogynous? What about women-made porn? That's like "are books misogynist?" Some books are. Some books aren't. Some women-made porn is bleh and totally male-oriented, some is good. I love Madison Young because she does mainstream stuff to feed her non-mainstream interests, I think that's a brilliant business model.
Can porn be called sex-positive? Some porn is.
Can porn teach use anything? Inspire more than teach I think. Good porn engages the imagination.
Or is it merely jill/jack-off material? I don't think that's "mere."
Do you ever watch educational porn to learn a new technique, like Nina Hartley's Guides? Not really, I'm liable to read.
Would you ever consider making your own DIY porn? Sure.
What about porn spoofs (Star Trek, the Bradys, Twilight) have you or would you watch these? Mildly amusing when well done. Not really sexy to me though.

Online or rent DVDs. We own some DVDs. Never rented
How comfortable are you watching porn with your lover? Comfortable.
What genres of porn do you find appealing? BDSM, 1f with many men, rough with name calling
What genres do you hate? Vanilla stuff.
What directors, stars do you like? No specific stars but I do find some girl's voices too annoying to hear them cum so it depends on voice more than looks for me
Do you think porn is misogynous? What about women-made porn? The easy answer is Yes. I'm not sure I could discuss this without several pages of length so I will just keep it with the easy answer.
Can porn be called sex-positive? sure
Can porn teach use anything? Yes, my husband likes to use it for position ideas.
Or is it merely jill/jack-off material? I think if you get that much out of it, it's a winner.
Do you ever watch educational porn to learn a new technique, like Nina Hartley's Guides? I have online a few times. Some bondage techniques are better seen than described.
Would you ever consider making your own DIY porn? hell no!
What about porn spoofs (Star Trek, the Bradys, Twilight) have you or would you watch these? I havent seen any but wouldn't mind. I've seen some fantasy based porn that I liked but if it was too spoofy I'd probably be too distracted to be turned on.
 
This is an interesting discussion and I am enjoying reading the responses. Here are my answers...

What about porn spoofs (Star Trek, the Bradys, Twilight) have you or would you watch these? Ick. I like porn to be sexy and a turn on, not satirical.
 
I think the OP's options of "porn" are very limited.

They seem to be specific only to visual stimuli. I know many women who enjoy reading erotica. Is this not also porn, even if it is words rather than images?

Yes, it is, but the idea offends the anti porn women. (not that it's much of a problem here) My mom is one of them that thinks 'porn' is evil, but has some of the trashiest erotica books I've ever read. :D
 
For me the best kind of erotica doesnt even exist!!!

A great film with high production values and explicit content.

If the 1994 movie 'Serial Mom' was about domination and submission....instead of murder, that would be the ultimate!
 
Porn and women

Just found this thread.

Am interested in the opinions and feelings of women here who have made their own 'amateur' porn - either for themselves, or to share with a lover, or to show/send to a partner who is distant, or to post online.

hi

Hi

I was looking through threads today and wondering what happened to some of the old ones which have not been active.

Bumping this thread -- Was one I'd enjoyed while it was active. Surely there are folks with new experiences to tell us about, or who've not been here before.

All: Say hi!

I think that you have made this into an interesting poll. Just need some ladies to respond;)
 
Do you watch it alone of with a lover?

Both, depending on whether I'm alone and horny or with someone and horny. Pornography makes my orgasms more intense.

Online or rent DVDs?
Online when alone, dvds with a parner(s).

How comfortable are you watching porn with your lover?
Very. They usually find it incredibly hot that I like pornography. I've never had anyone ask me to turn it off!

What genres of porn do you find appealing?
I like a lot of different kinds. I especially like voyeur stuff, menage, and lesbian.

What genres do you hate?
Anal and strictly blowjob. Actually BDSM does nothing for me, either.

What directors, stars do you like?
I don't pay attention to this, really. I don't think I can name a single person from an adult film I've seen.

Do you think porn is misogynous? What about women-made porn?
Not at all. Men are usually in it too, I don't know why the act of having consensual sex makes a woman a victim but not her male partner.

Can porn be called sex-positive?
Absolutely

Can porn teach use anything?
I think it can teach us to be more free in our expressions of sexuality.

Or is it merely jill/jack-off material?
That too.

Do you ever watch educational porn to learn a new technique, like Nina Hartley's Guides?
No, but now I want to.

Would you ever consider making your own DIY porn?
Absolutely not. I'm not *that* free-spirited.

What about porn spoofs (Star Trek, the Bradys, Twilight) have you or would you watch these?
I don't think so, they sound silly to me and I'd rather see something hot than something funny.

Do you watch it alone of with a lover? mainly alone
Online or rent DVDs? online
How comfortable are you watching porn with your lover? it depends. I tend to have somewhat specific preferences, so certain things might bother me about thier choice. It depends too what the main focus on...is it about watching porn or is porn second to me?

What about porn spoofs (Star Trek, the Bradys, Twilight) have you or would you watch these? i watched an alice in wonderland one, but it was more of a novelty than super sexy


I have always loved porn...sometimes WAY too much. If i wanted to i could see it as misogynous, but its important to see it for what it is...entertainment
 
As a guy who enjoys his porn I find it extremely erotic to share porn with a woman. It takes a little getting used to one another's tastes but that's a part of the fun and joy in discovery. Watching porn shouldn't make either one of us any less secure either. If anything it's educational as to what the other person likes or might like. It's a great shared experience.

Whether it's looking at a magazine, reading stories together or watching a film- I find it erotically charged and stimulating. I only wish there were more women out there that are confident enough to realize that it's a fantasy realm. I know it's not real- I'm not hung like a stallion and neither are most women sporting 38DDs either. Some of the scenarios and storylines are absolutely ridiculous but on a visual aspect- it's still fun to look at. It's in no way reflective of reality but a fun realm to explore together.

For me, one of the most liberating moments sexually was when I had an ex-GF discover my porn stash. She liked what she saw. In an indirect way- she also discovered what I liked as well. From that moment on- we were both a lot less inhibited to try things and discuss. We both tried some kinks after that- some of which was fun and some of which didn't linger our sexual arena but we were both willing to try to indulge the other and explore together. What's better than that??
 
Do you watch it alone of with a lover?
A.) I honestly like when men send me porn. I feel they are showing me what they want to do to me and that's hot to see the image and imagin its me in the pictures. I also enjoy watching it with them, they'll have me dress like the girl in the vid and we would copy the scene out in real life roleplay. Made me feel like I was the star and id try to out do the girl in the vids.
Online or rent DVDs?
A.) Online or on a dvd

A.) See Answer Above

A.) Secretly Id love to be an adult porn entertainer
What about porn spoofs (Star Trek, the Bradys, Twilight) have you or would you watch these? A.) Only one I've seen was a Sarah Palin look a like one...The girl resembled me and my boyfriend at the time thought Sarah Palin was hot so we roleplayed it.
 
something i've never understood about porn...why all the focus on men ejaculating? and why do they rarely show women climaxing? i think if they showed men ejaculating less and women cumming more, it would be way hotter and a lot less misogynistic. i mean, shouldn't it be hotter for men to see women cumming (faked most of the time, i'm sure-but better than nothing) than to watch some hairy guy rubbing himself off on her tits?

to me, this is the most degrading aspect of porn.
