Women and porn

[Trixie]

I do think it's an untapped market. I also think there's a wide variety of porn that interests women, and it's a bad assumption to think all or even most women want softcore stuff; most of the chicks I know including myself like hardcore stuff and even some really REALLY kinky stuff. I don't think that's unusual to find with women. Yes, there are women who like what is traditionally viewed as "for women" porn. And there are also women who love seeing gang bangs, guy-on-guy stuff, hardcore, etc.

The problems, I think, are 1) that women don't really want to spend money on porn -- they prefer to spend money on lipstick, underwear . . . FOOD . . . shit like that, 2) most porn alienates or disregards women as consumers -- there's a lot of porn (especially gay porn) out there that would work for women, but is marketed so exclusively and obviously to men as to make it really unwelcoming, and 3) women don't get how internet porn works yet -- they get how social networking sites work and they get how story sites work. And those sites are free for women. Women know how to get porn for free online just as well as men do, if not better, and are five billion times more resistant to paying for it once they do so you have to really provide a PERSONAL reason for joining a site, like that they will be supporting a regular person they'll be able to spy on and talk to.

FYI: the one time we were recognized in our town as Trixie and Delia? IT WAS BY A WOMAN who had seen my cam shows and become a fan of our sites. Clearly, women do like porn or they wouldn't be coming up to me in the grocery store like I'm a fucking celebrity or something.
