Why? Because lesbian porn is made for men.
The thing is, it was pretty obvious to me that the majority of women featured in lesbian porn weren’t of the female-loving persuasion. This isn’t a real relationship or some steamy one-night stand. All of it just felt a bit rehearsed, lacking in any semblance of passion or actuality. This was, in part, a journey of trying to understand myself as well as an opportunity to learn what the hell I was supposed to do when the time came to get intimate with another woman.Īs it turned out, while I couldn’t help but be aroused by the sight of what was happening on the screen ( well, in a sense) there was something that just didn’t sit right with me about the entire thing. When I had my first experience with watching porn as a teen, I did what any self-realizing young lesbian might do: I searched for lesbian porn.
That’s what I wanted to take the time to explore today. When writing about Neville’s survey, Ariel Sobel reported that a total of 68 percent of participants also watched straight porn, 53 percent watched lesbian porn, but a total of “82 percent of participants preferred gay male pornography to other genres.”Īs it turns out, there is a multitude of reasons that so many women (especially lesbians) love male-on-male pornography. She surveyed a total of 275 women of various sexual orientations, including bisexual, lesbian, heterosexual, and pansexual women. Lucy Neville, a lecturer at the University of Leicester, based her 2018 book Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys on the study she was motivated to conduct after the findings by Pornhub in 2015 were released. This was reported by journalist Tim Fitzsimmons in 2018. Back in 2015, the popular online pornography site Pornhub - which gathers over 115 million views on a daily basis - published a finding that took many by surprise: women are responsible for more than 1/3 of the website’s gay male porn views.
