Do women really enjoy porn?

[yongdo]

Eureka! I just had an epiphany. :smile: It seems some men like to imagine they are the guy with the big penis in the porn they are watching. I don't think I have ever thought of myself as the woman in the porn I watch. .

I think you are wonderful and hate to disagree with you but I never envision myself as a character in a movie (or porn movie) I watch.

That's okay stud, we don't always have to agree.:05: I was just seeking to understand. :smile:

It's great that we can have this kind of discussion! I think your helping to define what we're talking about JennyS.

But... what about "chick flicks" that satisfy more romantic needs? Hollywood is able to do that. What if porn did. If memory serves correct they tried in the mid-late 1980's. There were a few companies that created porn for women. They were poorly acted, soft focused stuff, with plots borrowed from either bad Harlequin Romance or Danielle Steel novels. By the time the main characters took off their clothes I was usually asleep. :frown1: IMHO, they were crap.

Seems that the porn industry (which is a big, big, big industry) is missing 50% of their potential market.

Lifetime channel meets porn?

I think you are correct. I'm just not sure how to reach that happy medium between sensual, sensitive, and raunchy fucking. There isn't usually much talking in amateur porn and I usually turn the volume down or off when watching professional porn. :tongue:

So this goes back to my statement:

If women in fact don't like porn (the way men do) then is it cultural or biological?

hotmilf do you like regular movies? I ask because we accept the fantasy in regular movies as real and live out the characters and in doing so can go through some kind of cathartic event.

Isn't porn just another kind of movie with a different kind of cathartic outcome?

That's my cultural argument.

Here's my biological: Women are nurturers. The are not as visually centered as men are. They would rather be with just one man and are not generally as poligimous as men are. (but are these in fact cultural pressures and not biological? I don't know)

Yes I do like regular movies. I just feel absolutely nothing when I watch porn.

So I agree with you about not being visually centered -- but I believe it is cultural, not biological.

I haven't read any studies on the subject, so my opinions are unscientific and empirical --

(a) many women on LPSG seem to be visual
(b) many women watch porn
(c) I'm the antithesis, and my only explanation for myself is that I grew up in a very religious family, and despite having "wild friends", I didn't actually SEE a man's erection until I was like 20 or 21 years old.

So while all my "sexual wiring" was happening, I had no visuals at all - no lovers, no porn, no magazines. Nothing!

But I'm not so sure about the one-man business. I couldn't say whether it was cultural or biological.

I always wanted more than one. When I was "breeding" -- yes, I wanted a stable man. The Protector. But once my kids weren't little anymore, nah. I have a significant other, but sometimes have one or two additional lovers with full knowledge on all sides. (I've never had a secret affair and never would.)

I could potentially be a one-man woman, but it's not in my stars. I mean, starry eyes at this point in my life. :wink:

I am supposedly visually centered. I know that I'm turned on by visual images, and that my fantasies are more visual images and phantom-tactile rather than verbal.

I think all this stuff is cultural, but then, I'm in a tiny minority viewpoint on that, and it's a real hot button with me so I usually prefer not to even discuss it! But I will mention some of this...

I grew up in a religious family too and didn't see a man's erection until later in life. I guess the first was seeing in magazines like Playgirl, then a little later in porn.

I'm also convinced that I'm not a "one man woman" although I'm not completely ruling out the possibility. It's just not happened so far. Since I've never wanted kids I didn't have that thought going through my mind at all. It wasn't about a protector or anything at all. It was about a good companion (or companions) to ME. Of course, this dynamic is going to be different if you have (or want) kids than in my case having never wanted any.

I don't do secret affairs either. I don't like sneaky people so I would not want to be one. I have been in an open relationship, and all involved had full knowledge.

Yes! This woman loves porn...but not all porn...maybe not even most porn...but some porn

 

[D_Dolly Pharton]

I love porn... but I'm pretty picky. I have some courtesy of an ex that I love. It takes me awhile to find stuff (ie: guys and girls I think are hot, the type of sex I like, big cocks lol, etc) I like but its worth the wait ... I just fast forward stuff I don't like lol AND REPLAY THE STUFF I DO OVER AND OVER AND OVER

 

[tiff86]

People don't believe me but until the last couple yrs I never watched porn. I still haven't seen a ton but yeah like some other people said some of it I'm kinda grossed out but some of it is really hot :smile:. Once in awhile my bf shows me something he saw in porn and thats sorta hot. Just depends on how weird it is I guess.

Not sure if this is an appropriate thread for this section, just tell me if it's not, but I'm interested to know if many women can actually masturbate to porn as easily as guys seem to be able to?

In my experience, even if they do, I have never known any girl to actually admit to it unless I've been in a serious relationship with them, and have reached the tell-each-other-all-your-darkest-secrets stage :redface:

I think it depends on a womans age, i certainly didn't when i was in my 20s, I was too grossed out, , but since i got in my 40s I do, I use it, watch it, I think most woman don't want to admit it

I couldn't sit and watch a porn film on TV. What I do like is Playgirl magazine, and I also like to see strippers, I am a very visual woman who is very appreciative of the male body.:wink:
