Like, I&#8217;m pretty irked by the assumption that I want to look &#8220;real people.&#8221; I may date guys that look like that, but it&#8217;s not because they look hot naked. Also I don&#8217;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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ah, bleached anuses.

On top of that, there&#8217;s a distinct feeling of frustration and irritation with the majority of porn. Marketing experts might call it a form of &#8220;resistance.&#8221; I get the feeling that plenty of women are looking, but they&#8217;re not finding what they want. <\/p>\n<p>For The Girls is one option, but it&#8217;s never going to cater to everybody. The market is growing, but slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the article links to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realadultsex.com\/archives\/2007\/04\/porn_for_women_vs_porn_for_women.html\" target=\"blank\">Figleaf&#8217;s HNT post<\/a> where he attempts to look sexy while doing housework.
