Porn Report: Women Like Porn

I’m a bit late with this but it’s worth blogging about anyway. Three Australian researchers have released The Porn Report, the result of several years of research and surveys. The finding that the media have jumped on is that – gasp! – women like porn. 17% of those interviewed for the book were women and the authors say that women make up an increasing percentage of the porn market.
