Never met a girl that was like into porn. My ex liked to watch it to get horny but that was occasionally and she'd turn it off to get off. Seems very much a guy thing.

The walls are thin enough here that I know that's bullshit. But besides, written and drawn porn is consumed in huge amounts by women.

I know a ton of girls trans and otherwise that are into all forms or porn, smut, erotica, etc.

Do y'all just bring up porn in coversations? I could never, that's so awkward

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Written porn is literally the thing keeping book stores as an institution alive. This isn't really that taboo

It's kind of hormonal, and tastes change. I can relate.

A lot of porn is made for a straight male viewer. Even a large chunk of porn featuring lesbians and lesbian sex as a central or exclusive feature of a scene, are made for a straight male viewer, and not really often made for women or a queer audience.

It's one of those things where if you know you know. "I can describe to you what LSD feels like, and some of the subjective experience, but until you try it yourself you'll never really understand" kind of logic at play here.

Porn that's made for women has a different emphasis, and uses the language of film to emphasize different things.

A woman would have no trouble getting going on basicremovednormie porn, under normal circumstances, don't get me wrong, but it's all shot for a male audience and there's just a sub-optimality to it.

It's why a lot of women like written smut and stuff. It more naturally speaks to the elements of intimacy we're looking for.

God, I can get absolutely autistic about the changes in my sexuality i've documented since starting HRT in 2018, but it would be a really long thing to post @ hexbear meme posters

But girls like porn. There's just not a whole lot of good porn, and society fucks up cis-femme sexuality basically from birth so the deck is further stacked against an ideal 'good time'

Makes sense, ty

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think you're considering "porn" to just be the kind of male-gazey stuff on pornhub and not erotica or drawings or anything like that. Stuff aimed specifically at a male audience is going to be less appealing to women.

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realise other people had already explained it much better than I did.

Hi, woman here. I enjoy (written) erotica (and have since I began to have a sex drive). Also some drawn stuff can be really nice and I know a number of my friends are also quite into erotica and some visual stuff to spark the imagination a bit. Most non-drawn porn is made for the male gaze though as others have mentioned which makes it not really that great as a regular choice.

Just wanted to say as a transfem enby, these are my tastes as well and it was very affirming when I learned that this taste was more common among women.

gender dysphoriaI mostly had guy friends growing up. They’d talk about porn they were watching or talk about women they found attractive in terms of individual body parts and it always seemed so gross. It was also just unrelatable. My tastes made me weird and I felt disgusting about it. In retrospect, I was also just disgusted by the effects testosterone had on my sexuality. Estrogen has been so much more comfortable that it’s hard to overstate.
