Women are watching more porn than ever. At least, that’s the conclusion if you read The Sun’s latest survey (and I will admit, The Sun must be taken far less seriously than other newspapers).

Around 76 per cent of women now admit* to using porn – a ten per cent rise on the two-thirds of girls who admitted to watching porn with their partners in a survey last year.
The most popular format is online porn, which is watched by 61 per cent of couples. Just one couple in 20 looks at magazines, while 18 per cent get their kicks watching porn DVDs on the telly.
The survey of 4,200 women also revealed four in five women like to dress up for their other halves and indulge in role play.
The most popular outfit is a French maid, used by 42 per cent, followed by nurses, chosen by a quarter of women.
The survey was actually by a site called Netmums which gives you an idea of the demographics. Apparently women have a lot less time and energy for sex at the moment but they’re putting more effort into it when they get the chance.
* I hate how newspaper use the word “admit” like porn use is a crime. It casts the whole thing into a negative light. Thankfully the article includes interviews with (and photos of) three typical porn-loving women. This is a really positive thing to include because it shows that women who like a bit of porn are just everyday, normal chicks who want to enjoy their sex lives using whatever tools are available to them.
I’m glad you provided the little asterisked disclaimer at the end – those were my exact thoughts when I saw the word “admit.” Does the survey/article go into what types of porn women watch? I’m always interested in this, because I wonder if women who watch with their partner tend to make the viewing decisions, or if the men do.
I don’t think the survey was that comprehensive, unfortunately. I would suspect that those women who are new to porn will let the guys decide, assuming their partners are more experienced… but perhaps they end up disappointed?
Yeah, I was thinking that too. I often see posts online by guys saying their wives/girlfriends “hate porn” or are upset by it, to which I wonder whether they just hate *their* porn and don’t know what else is out there (not that I’m saying all women should enjoy porn, of course). How receptive might these same “porn-loving” guys be to their significant other’s personal picks?
