\"pornprojectwidget\"Photographer and online TV presenter Amanda de Cadenet recently joined up with Marie Claire magazine to create a survey about women’s use of porn (link<\/a>). They received responses from over 3000 people, 91% of whom were female. The full results can only be obtained if you join Amanda’s mailing list, which I’ve duly done. I thought I’d post some of the results here because I’m always keen to see new stats on women and porn.<\/p>\n

Of the respondents, 83% identified as straight, most were aged between 18 and 35, just over half were in a relationship.<\/p>\n

The overall survey seems to suggest that today’s women are mostly comfortable with watching porn, they typically use it alone to masturbate and their tastes are quite wide ranging. When they do have concerns about porn, it often relates to the ethics of porn’s production, or else they worry about the influence it has on men’s technique.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick glimpse at some figures:<\/p>\n

* 31% watched porn every week or so, others were less frequent<\/p>\n

* Most preferred to watch porn alone – 66% reported never watching with a partner<\/p>\n

* Almost everyone used internet porn – 90%. The next best thing was erotic fiction at 40% ^<\/p>\n

* The type of porn being watched was quite variable. 63% watched straight porn, next was lesbian porn at 41% with almost a third saying “it’s a mixed bag”. Clearly women enjoy a wide variety of content.<\/p>\n

* 75% got their porn from free sites.<\/strong> Only 2% were prepared to fork out cash for their porn, saying they belonged to subscriber sites. Naturally this figure makes baby Jesus (and me) cry. Come on people, pay for your porn or there won’t be any new porn!<\/p>\n

* 62% watched porn on their smartphone and only 12% used a desktop computer. Man I’m old.<\/p>\n

* A majority (73%) said they mainly watched porn because it was a quick road to orgasm. Others liked to pick up ideas and felt that porn was a positive aspect of exploring their sexuality. 24% said porn was “no big deal, it’s just part of our culture”.<\/p>\n

* Overall, it seems today’s women aren’t that concerned about porn. The question “How has porn negatively influenced your sex life, dating and relationships?” was thoroughly dismissed, with 76% saying “It hasn’t.” And 51% felt porn had been a positive influence on their lives.<\/p>\n

I just want to include verbatim a couple of questions from the survey about what women like and don’t like about porn because I always find this question fascinating.<\/p>\n

The survey pdf also contained a lot of individual responses. I’m just going to quote a couple here that I personally find interesting:<\/p>\n

“I think there isn\u2019t enough porn from a woman’s point of view. It genuinely delights me to see a body shape like mine when I find it in a flattering light but that almost never happens.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“While I do enjoy porn occasionally with my husband I do find it important to point out that I only enjoy porn that (from my perspective) seems like it is highly produced and not all victimizing. For example, I find Playgirl to be a type of porn that doesn\u2019t make me uncomfortable that someone is being taken advantage of. The women in this porn seem to be in control and confident, unlike some low budget and what I perceive to predatory porn that I\u2019ve seen on websites.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“When my imagination is lacking porn makes up for it. Also why is their so much spitting in porn these days?”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“It is very male centered, made for men by men. I wish there were more options for women. I\u2019d like more free porn that is romantic or more realistic. I also don\u2019t like to see cum shots which are in almost every video. I\u2019d like to see the woman orgasm more. The ads on many porn sites are very graphic which can also be off putting.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Finding good lesbian porn requires wading through so much junk intended for the male gaze.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“Where is the free sites that have healthy porn for women?! I can\u2019t find it anywhere!” – Comment: Arrrgghhh!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
