I’ve often heard that men are generally more visual than women when it comes to erotic videos or images, and my experience tends to confirm it. I’ve known one woman who really enjoyed visual erotica - is it really as rare as that, or is it actually a myth? Could it be women are just less open about their interest in watching? If you’re a woman who enjoys porn or sexual imagery, do you feel like your tastes are uncommon?
 
I watch some porn. Most doesn't appeal to me and it rarely turns me on. I know I'm not visual. TV and movies rarely hold my interest.

For what it's worth, I consider myself highly visual, but most of it doesn't appeal to me either. Authenticity, real vulnerability, something unexpected captured in erotica is ridiculously rare, and those are the elements I find exciting.

Based on what you know of others, do you think the stereotype of women not being particularly visual in this regard holds fairly true?
 
I’m absolutely feminine brained in a lot of ways. For instance, I’m much more turned on by erotica than porn. That being said, give me an authentic amateur video and I’m good!

"Authentic", there it is again. I probably find something really engaging in about as many videos you can pull down from a typical porn site as I would in books just pulled out of a book store. Capturing something moving and powerful is rare in any medium I guess.

Yes. I think most women aren't visual.

100%. It definitely doesn’t happen often. But also, I don’t hunt for it so it may be easy to find. I just usually stumble upon stuff on here. Haha
 
If there were more porn made by women for women, there'd probably be a market for it.

True..... most male/female porn is really bad. Choking, hard thrusting by the man, very painful anal, tits smacking, cumming on their face. I am as sexual as an woman I know but most porn is degrading and does nothing for me. I prefer lesbian porn as it is softer, more engaging, intimate, and non threatening. even gay porn is more of a turn on than the shit I have seen. So maybe women are not visual because the types of porn being made is meant only for men. In real life, woman like the look of a good looking man, his smile, even a nice thick cock but the way porn portrays sex. it is a turn off. Men hardly ever pull out and shoot their cum on their lady. They like the warmth and tightness of a pussy and filling it up with their seed. Why do you think porn goes out of it's way to show cum shots? It is not real life. I like cum as much as the next girl but please.... that is not a turnon.
 
I guess I'm unusual in that I am a very visual woman. I watch porn frequently, although the type depends on my mood and how horny I am.

I also love good erotic literature, but it's easier and faster for me for find arousing stimuli through porn. I'm much pickier about my literary erotica than I am about my visual erotica, lol.

I think in general, that stereotype has a lot of truth to it - but I also think we are programmed at a very basic level to find fascination in watching others, too, so social conditioning starting early in life probably plays a part in many women's lack of interest.

Me, I like some visual erotica, but as anniebaby already wrote in this chain, a lot of it is not designed for someone like me. Violence, degradation, objectification, etc., - no thanks. Connection, respect, mutual pleasure - yes, please.
 
I consider myself a visual woman. I have an interest in art even if little talent. I love to hike and enjoy almost any view of the outdoors. I can be out and appreciate a nice looking man and envy a nice looking woman. As for porn videos, I have not found much that was arousing. Some is interesting just because it is strange or different. I have been aroused watching porn but I think that was because I had a hand on a nice cock sitting beside me. On the other hand, I do find some pictures to be very arousing. Can be a very pornographic pic but something just resonates and my mind can fill in the blanks from that one image. I think women are perhaps more visual than most men but their perspective on sex and porn may be quite different.
 
I love seeing young women who look sweet, petite and innocent making love with a ma with a strong hard body
 
I dont like to watch porn, but i enjoy erotic pictures and stories. I prefer the latter though. I have even tried listening to erotic audio but reading makes me feel the most. It pulls me into fantasy worlds in the depths of my mind by forcing me into active imagination. The world that my mind renders as i read erotica makes me feel things no porn could ever make me feel. I dont feel anything watching porn. I have felt things watching explicit erotic movie scenes through.
 
We are all visual


Men are easily triggered by visual images by nature. But women really are genetically triggered by erotic images too. However, society has train girls to view sex as taboo. But girls like me that don't buy into the taboo love porn the same as any guy.

The sample above illustrates the point. When I see that it brings back memories of being eaten like that and it makes me wet and long for the next time that I can be treated to some nice tongue. If any women can look at that and not want to have her pussy munched there is something unnatural going on.

Of course all porn is not created equal and there are some porn flicks that make me sick and turn me off. I am sure that is true for guys too. But if the visuals of a porn movie pertain to the kind of sex that a person likes then by nature I have to believe it is a trigger.

Also, porn is highly addictive. The more I watch the more I want to watch. So for a lot of girls it is just a matter of getting started and finding the TYPE of porn that makes you wet.
 
Its not about taboo in my case. Believe me, i can watch/do really crazy/weird things. I just feel.. Restricted? while watching porn. I love the freedom my imagination gives me. I really feel it as if its happening to me Irl when i get into a well written erotica.

Nice comment schizochick. When we read stuff we can make up our own interpretation of the setting. But when we watch stuff, we're forced to watch someone else's interpretation. And if that someone else didn't care to interpret what they read the way we did, they'll portray it differently to how we wanted to see it, and that's disappointing and I'd agree, can feel restricting too.

Same. And I don't really like amateur. If I want amateur I'll record myself. :rolleyes::D

Many women love ALL that. And some more for that matter.

Exactly. We are all individuals, with our own histories, needs, wants, etc., not a monolithic bloc. What works for me may not do a thing for anyone else. And what works for me today may not be what works for me next week.

Agreed!

That will trigger something....:eek:

I've got a theory about that. When a boy cums for the first time and sees his jizz come out of his cock, accompanied by that wonderful feeling of an orgasm, he tends to link the sight of an ejaculation with that feeling. As for shooting it onto the body of his lover, I'm stumped, although it may be some form of "marking" that person. Or maybe it's just the visual of the cum itself.

'although it may be some form of "marking" that person.'

Lol. 'you are mine, i own you, see, i can even pee my semen on you, oh im so powerful, kneel before me' hahaha i know im crazy. I was imagining it from a boys point of view. I will admit, I actually love it though, When it squirts out, Its a marvelous sight. I always am amazed by it. How long it squirts, How much and how many times, How hot and thick and sticky it is etc..

I'm much the same.

We're all quite different. :)
