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.

The kinky side sounds like my Aerynn, if it ain’t really REALLY kinky, she doesn't want anything to do with it. The girls that I know that buy porn are a way on the exocentric side. One only buys bi-sexual porn and another loves to watch the anal violations of men. In fact, she was stating this in Target one day while we were standing in line. I think the old lady in front of us about died – especially when I kept egging her on for details and she kept detailing what she does to her man………

I do think you're right on women accessing free porn. My model, Tasha, has a pretty good porn collection but she’s stolen most of it as I suspect way too many men and women have.

As for PERSONAL reasons, TigerMom and I were talking on the same lines. Is it that women want to “connect” with their fantasies – to have some sort of bond?
