Women & Porn

[tickler]

Women actually get turned on more than men by porn!!! |tomato|

Science tries to explain sex and love

Another unexpected finding, this one from an Emory University study regarding porn: Women rated pornographic images as subjectively more sexually arousing than men did.

Women have been taught to believe they’re not supposed to watch porn, that it’s not supposed to be part of female sexuality and that there’s something anti-feminist about it. What scientists have discovered is that the brain is really hardwired for porn. We are very interested in sexual images, much in the way that we’re interested in pictures of food.

What lit up in women’s and men’s brains when they looked at porn?

The researchers saw higher activation in the men in both the amygdala and the hypothalamus, two areas involved in sex and emotional processing. When they examined what the participants were actually looking at using eye tracking software, there was no significant difference between men and women. Nobody really liked the close up, crazy genital shots.

Rule 34: Women(or men?) masturbating in MRI machines with brain screencaps!

Could be an exposure effect - women see less porn so it's more stimulating as an unusual sight.

But that's a fun find, for sure.

Lesbian friends of mine get off watching male gay porn than lesbian porn.What's up with that?

I think a lot of porn's appeal is the taboo, and I'm not surprised that the taboo is stronger in women.

I've been told that for girls that like girls, lesbian porn is kinda offensive because it's basically made for men to watch and the sex is very very fake.

They get angry at bad pussy licking - and teh pussy licking in almost all porn is terrible. Jesus, it's like none of those guys has ever really licked a pussy, in straight porn, it pisses me off too. And I can see as easily as they can that the lesbian porn is fake as fuck, mostly.

And that gay porn get's the feminine better - it's more real than other types of porn, basically.

Precisely...society views sexual behavior in women very differently than it does men. Sexual behavior that is expected for men is usually frowned upon for women. When you are not supposed to do something, the thrill of doing it often increases dramatically.
