Long are the days where pornographic images and videos are hard to attain. It’s not about stumbling across a dirty magazine, or waiting five minutes for one dirty photograph to load on your computer anymore. No. We’re in the age of instant gratification.
And pornography couldn’t be more readily available. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well, that’s a whole different topic for a rainy day. Today, we’re going to dive into the subject of straight women who enjoy watching lesbian porn.
First off, tantra and sexuality expert, Psalm Isadora, revealed that it’s quite common for heterosexual women, those who don’t seem to have any desire to be with another woman, to enjoy lesbian porn.
And surprisingly, the category “lesbian” was 115 percent more popular with women as opposed to men when searching for porn on the popular website, PornHub. But why?
According to sex therapist and PhD, Holly Richmond, it’s all about fantasy. She says that, the raunchy videos that may well get you wet don’t actually have any link to what you actually desire in real life.
She also gives four reasons as to why straight women are turning to lesbian porn to get their rocks off:
The Sexual Energy
In heterosexual porn, the main focus is the performance. Oftentimes, these videos are hard core, extreme, and place a lot of focus on the penis. It’s also about visual and auditory appeal.
Additionally, there is a huge trend for heterosexual porn to portray men as the strong dominant and the woman a submissive, and for women to be degraded.
In lesbian porn however, it’s more about creating a feeling. A sexual energy that is more women-centred and where the female body is the main focus.
In lesbian porn, there’s also a stronger basis on sensuality, oral sex, and using sex toys. This is especially relatable for women, as foreplay gives them an opportunity to feel comfortable and to create natural lubrication.
Women Are the Stars
In lesbian porn, women are able to identify more with the way in which the vagina is stimulated. Normally, heterosexual porn puts a great focus on vaginal stimulation. In lesbian porn, there is a tendency to see more clitoral stimulation – something that most women need in order to orgasm.
Additionally, in straight porn, the video comes to an end when the male ejaculates. In lesbian porn, it’s about the female reaching climax – another reason why women can find pleasure in viewing it.
It’s Relatable
Porn stars in the heterosexual world tend to have seemingly perfect bodies – two hot people getting together to have crazy sexual antics. In lesbian porn however, there tends to be more of a variety when it comes to women’s bodies.
In this way, it becomes more relatable for a woman who views it. It’s not about focusing on or feeling envious of her flat stomach and perfect breasts – it’s about feeling confident, powerful, and getting off.
Fluidity of Female Sexuality
It’s well-known that girl-on-girl action is way more acceptable in society. It’s a big turn on for men to see or hear about a woman experimenting with someone of the same sex.
For that reason, women are more hardwired to be sexually aroused by a variety of sexual situations. They are more open to the idea of watching lesbian porn (and even experimenting with other women), because of society’s approval and encouragement.
How Can Lesbian Porn Improve Your Heterosexual Sex Life?
For women who’re in a heterosexual relationship, and whose partner perhaps need a little nudge in the bedroom, watching lesbian porn together can actually make your sex life better.
How so? By watching these kinds of videos together, you can encourage your guy to re-enact the things that turn you on. When there is a strong focus on clitoral stimulation, you can seductively mention that that particular scene really turns you on.
In short – straight women who enjoy lesbian porn aren’t necessarily lesbian. It’s all about a fantasy and a feeling that brings sexual excitement. No shame, only pleasure!
