As any recent porn study can tell you, it's not just men flocking to online porn—a full 31 percent of women are now clicking for kicks of their own, and in increasing numbers every year. The easiest place for women to get their thrills? On their phones. Curious what everyone's moaning about?
When it comes to searching for porn, women don't mess around
YouPorn, one of the largest adult video sites, surveyed 24, of their female users during a one month period, and the results prove there's no shortage of ladies looking for porn. We know what we're after, and we're not messing around. One in four visitors to their site are female, according to YouPorn, and the overwhelming majority 76 percent of them are millennials. Of those surveyed, a hair over 60 percent said they watched porn weekly or a few times each month.
Lesbian production company Fatale Media and On Our Backs , the first woman-run lesbian porn magazine, also emerged as porn innovators around this same time. The social and political discourse surrounding this first wave of porn created by and for women eventually reached mainstream consumers and creators, inspiring cultural conversations in support of ethical porn, the importance of paying for porn, and the need for racial and gender diversity both in front of and behind the camera. Thanks in part to extensive media coverage and corporate interest in recent years, public discussions about women and porn are far less taboo, but still lack the depth and complexity necessary for a truly evolved cultural understanding.
