Damn, it’s getting hard to keep up. Today’s ranty article about the Porn for Women* book is at Jezebel.
In this case the author has sent an email to all her friends asking about what porn they like. There’s a bunch of varied responses, most of which are quite cynical, but I had to laugh at this one:

I always thought girl porn like Sweet Action was really icky. Like, I’m pretty irked by the assumption that I want to look “real people.” I may date guys that look like that, but it’s not because they look hot naked. Also I don’t want to look at fat or pale chicks. Also I might see them Urban Outfitters later and feel gross. I like my porn people tanned buff and hairless with their anuses bleached, like everyone else.
Ah, bleached anuses. Who knew?
The comments there and those at Ask Sam just seem to reinforce that women really do have a huge variety of tastes. On top of that, there’s a distinct feeling of frustration and irritation with the majority of porn. Marketing experts might call it a form of “resistance.” I get the feeling that plenty of women are looking, but they’re not finding what they want.
For The Girls is one option, but it’s never going to cater to everybody. The market is growing, but slowly.
Meanwhile, the article links to Figleaf’s HNT post where he attempts to look sexy while doing housework. The pics are great. Can a plunger ever be sexy? Figleaf makes it look possible. Check out his other sexy pics here.
Figleaf has also made some nice comments here about the idea of women having a sense of agency while viewing porn.
