Do Females Watch Porn

    Have a Google for the statistical analysis done by pornhub. It makes for very interesting reading. Especially the amount of Gay porn (men on men) that women are watching. They're also more into gang bang porn than men.

    I'm on the DART to work and it's probably NSFW anyway but YouTube college humour do girls watch porn. Very funny!

    I lived with a girl who stole(borrowed without asking) my old porn mags.

    Prob destroyed the centrefold with a big 'snail trail' anyway :pac:

    Of course females don't watch porn and they certainly don't interfere with themselves.

    Sure they don't even like sex. If they did none of us would be posting on here, or working for that matter, we'd all just be having sex all the time.

    There is one well-known saying among certain circles of the community:

    "If you can think of it, there's porn of it"

    You can waste a happy hour or two testing this one on the internet!

    Humans, I'd imagine. Women and girls. Is it really not a given from the context?
    Why didn't he say that then? "Females" referring to women is very dehumanizing.

    What an odd thread. It reminds me a little of that old repressed belief that women don't have sexual urges and enjoy sex as much as men.

    I watch porn. All sorts. I have a high sex drive. I love sex.

    Maybe you should have started a poll OP.

    LOL - no links, indeed!

    But I think I can just mention that "Ear porn" gets very mixed results: from "awesome music" to Stain Removal. And some decidedly weird fetishes in there too.

    Needed that giggle! Next, I think Tractors.

    I know people have feet fetishes but i stumbled across one vid, have no idea what i was searching (i hate feet so it wasnt that). But this wan was ramming her foot into this poor chaps mouth. The whole bloody thing went in and he was gagging. I stayed away from porn for a few weeks after that :o

    I'm over that one now, but be careful what you click people :P

    Nope 'female(s)' is in the blacklist. You seem to be malfunctioning. Report to area two for re-education.

    From my experience, most men tend to watch porn. 100% of my close male friends watch porn regulary.

    From previous relationships, female friends etc. I would break down females into 3 fairly equal groups.
    1. Watch and enjoy "standard" porn in a similar way to men.
    2. Prefer a much softer, sensual type of porn.
    3. Don't really get turned on by the visual side of things that porn offers, that's not to say that they're not sexual.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith

    Well why not say 'women' or 'girls' then? You rarely see men referred to as 'males'.

    OP. Women like porn. Women like sex. Women are just as sexual as men are, just as filthy, and just as perverted. Women don't all like the same porn. Some women watch a lot of porn. Some women don't watch any porn.

    How do people get turned on by feet? They are manky looking yokes!

    Legs, defo, can't beat them! Feet...gtfo :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    In fairness, many lobby + feminist groups and news articles against porn would paint the picture that men are the only ones who watch it and women only get their kicks from erotic literature or watching Ryan Gosling get topless......or that they are generally sexless.

    I've known a lot of women who were absolute porn-hounds, they could rhyme off a list of their favourite porn sites and find what they like within a heartbeat. It could be down to some being more willing to admit it than a lot of men would.

    I knew of one girl who was into BDSM and pregnancy porn. She had probably the biggest and most well-organised porn I had ever seen, it was actually impressive :pac:

    If you're interested in female sexuality you could do worse than read My Secret Garden by Nancy Friday.

    Good gracious - I tried it, of course - there IS "Tractor porn". Quite a lot of it. Who knew??

    But as regards feet, that's an old one.
    For myself, I would not fancy a chunk of anyone's sweaty bunion and toenails in my mouth: but there's nowt so quare as folks!

    -- once I was in San Francisco with Mr March and there was a fellow with a comfy chair out on the pavement, offering free foot massages to ladies. Possibly the most blissful fifteen minutes of my life!!

    Why didn't he say that then? "Females" referring to women is very dehumanizing.

    In what way is it dehumanising? It's a perfectly normal word, with no malice or negative connotation. He refers to himself as a male three words in. Where does this idea that 'female' is a bad word come from?

    Because female can refer to any species. Woman refers to humans.
    Female is an adjective and by using it to refer to women, it's not only grammatically incorrect but it reduces women to their reproductive parts and abilities.
    But go on, keep telling me why you think I shouldn't be annoyed by a word that doesn't refer to you in a dehumanising way. :rolleyes:

    I can only chip in my perspective, but as a female woman I don't find the word dehumanising at all. I do get quite annoyed at people who nitpick language though, no offence intended to you.


    ETA: If I wanted to nitpick language, by the way, I'd point out that female is both a noun and an adjective.

    I doubt many cats and dogs read Boards (a forum for humans) so seen as all members are human I would take it for granted that female refers to the human species!

    If any dogs and cats do read Boards regularly then I apologise for the above sweeping generalisation and if you could PM me, I have a few questions I'd like answered regarding licking myself..... :pac:

    So nitpicking language is annoying if it agrees with your world view but not the other way round? Rightio.

    they used females, women, men, males. why do you not lambaste them for the use of male?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,629 ✭✭✭Hunchback


    Not only do women watch porn, I know straight women who watch gay male porn because they are aroused by the dynamic of seeing a man being dominated or subjicated (if that is the right word). Different stokes for different folks, always ;)

    I don't like the use of "males" used on it's own to refer to men either. It was the title that stuck out to me.

    I may find nitpicking annoying, but I also find irony delicious.

    But hey, I'm just a silly, fickle female.

    When I find some porn that features a man rubbing the womans tum-tum when she's eaten too much, then carrying her to the sofa and handing her the remote before he puts out the bins, I'll be glued to it.

    Otherwise I have to say I find it spectacularly unerotic and mechanical to watch. I also worry about the performers, which may or may not be warranted but still affects how I process porn.

    This can only mean that I'm frigid and repressed and all that negative stuff, right? That's how these kinds of threads usually go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭iDave


    Ah a thread about how males and females.....sorry men and women are different. These always go well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I haven't read the entire thread so I'm probably way off the mark here but yeah, I as a woman don't find porn degrading to women. As long as nobody is being exploited, no harm done. I personally like watching porn but only with someone else. I like watching porn for the lol factor too, (fake taxi)

    Do women look at men the same way at men look at women? I don't know. Maybe. I don't know what's up with me today but I'm seeing rides all around the place. There was a man wearing a suit on the train today, he was unreal, and although he didn't know it, he was having the time of his life in my head. The cashier at the local shop. A man walking past the window. I have been very busy all morning objectifying men. I usually wouldn't see as many attractive people, to be honest. I feel drunk

    I agree. But downstairs regions are not the most aesthetically pleasing either really. There's a reason it's called 'bumping uglies' :pac:

    If an argument is needed against intelligent design, I reckon that would be it.

    See. That's the first and only comment about anyone being 'frigid' and 'repressed' for not liking porn in the thread.

    So I guess you have nothing to worry about.

    I don't think misandry is to blame for this. How many jiggling boobies have you seen on magazine covers, or in countless movies - They're everywhere sure! Seen many pictures of throbbing errect cocks? When the ratio is 60-40 in favour of mickeys, I then might say... Yes, we do live in a misandric society.

    I think it's got more to do with men being conditioned by society into being uncomfortable thinking about female sexuality. The ability to want and to get sex is still seen by society as a key-part of male identity.

    I work with a lot of guys in their early twenties and they have a great old time "bantering" each other about their porno habits. But if you ever throw them a curve-ball, about womens porn watching habits they'll get weirdly uncomfortable about it.
    Exactly. I think this over-arching narrative that men are sexually depraved and women are angels is all in the head. :p

    Well, the poet Yeats wrote a poem about that:

    Fair and foul are near of kin,
    And fair needs foul,' I cried.


    'A woman can be proud and stiff
    When on love intent;
    But Love has pitched his mansion in
    The place of excrement;
    For nothing can be sole or whole
    That has not been rent.'

    I'm not doubting your assertion, I literally don't care but since sex drive isn't equall among members of the same sex how are you so sure it is equal between the genders? Are there any studies to verify this?

    I don't watch porn.
    Not out of any moral outrage or anything, I just don't find watching an underfed, over-waxed doll being f**ked by a guy with a comically large cock remotely erotic.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,030 ✭✭✭jezzer


    I know for an absolute fact that women watch porn on their own and purely for their own pleasure, just like guys. I know this because on more than one occasion I've used the laptops or phones of female friends who aren't nearly as careful as you might expect when it comes to clearing auto-complete entries in internet history. You'd be amazed at the kind of thing that can pop up just from typing in the beginnings of common URLs... For instance, I got as far as "face" in "facebook" before discovering hundreds of history hits for one friend's particular kink ;)



    Absolutely, yet another example of misandry which the feminist lobby claims is something which doesn't exist. I reckon that'll change in a generation or two - this generation was raised with porn and sexuality as a very open and normal thing, and with any luck we'll pass that on and all the repressive bullsh!t around it will disappear, along with it discrepancies such as you describe and double standards with regard to promiscuity as well. Hopefully.

    do tell more...
