Straight men and women: Do you prefer lesbian porn? & If so, why?

[mistixs]

Lesbian is the #1 category viewed by women on PornHub. The reasons why have been hotly debated.

So let's figure out why. Do you prefer lesbian porn, and if so, why?

[Investigator]

The biggest category, watched by the men (this graph doesn't break down if we're talking straight men, gay men, bi men, maybe it doesn't matter, who knows?) is just heterosexual sex between Japanese people or does "Japanese" mean something else? Since "Hentai" is No. 6, "Japanese" is clearly NOT both real people and also anime, so that's off the table. I'm guessing there's also choices for every other ethnicity, so why Japanese specifically?

Here's what I'd like to know, because this graph gives basically no context and is effectively worthless:
1) How many participants were surveyed?
2) How often were they surveyed?
3) What demographics were surveyed?
4) How much time does this graph account for (days, months, years)?
5) Are these results based on explicitly-searched results (as in, members had to go out of their way to find these videos) or did they typically click on the first video they saw on the front page?
6) How often are these results searched for?
7) Are the videos typically long or short?
8) Do these results break down further into more specific genres?
and so on and so forth...

On the female front, the fact that the overwhelming majority of women watch lesbian porn (again, we don't know how the demographics break down) almost seems to confirm some sort of cultural assumption that all, or at least most, women are secretly bisexual. Certainly, being female affords one the opportunity to experiment with sexuality a lot more openly and honestly than anything that could be allowed for men.

Without more specific data points, no strong correlation can be drawn from this information; the only conclusions that can be reached are "some demographic of the female population that watches PornHub views lesbian porn at significantly higher rates than any other category and the same goes for men with Japanese porn (again, whatever "Japanese" porn even is)." Anything more causal in nature can only be stated based on assumption and, since we have only sweeping generalizations in terms of analytics, that is pure speculation and conjecture.

The question is oddly phrased. "Prefer"? Not necessarily. Enjoy? Sure. The irony being that my girlfriend enjoys gay porn probably more than I enjoy lesbian porn.

For me, seeing two hot naked women turning each other on is just... well... really sexy. It is hard to put into words. Touching and licking and kissing and going down on each other and seeing the reaction and it is just different in a way that excites me.

Back in our early "wild and crazy" days, my girlfriend and I did a few threesomes - both MMF and FFM. It was just amazing to see a woman you are attracted to having sex with another woman. To see the look on her face and see her naked body shaking with pleasure.

Funny thing, I - in those early days - enjoyed seeing her have sex with another guy. That, though, was more for her sake. For me, truthfully, I would get a bit jealous and would have to remind myself that it was only about sex and fun. Yet when she was with another woman, it just turned me on, flat out.

Funny thing, though. As time wore on we came to realize that, though we tend to a raw and primal sex, the sex we enjoy is that we share just between the two of us. So we still have some pretty raw sex, it is just us now - and we have the three children to prove it.

That is probably not much help. I cannot really explain it. Men are visual creatures and seeing sex - any sex - can make us horny. Instinct programs us to impregnate as many women as possible, so kicking off that instinct does not take much. That is the best explanation I have and I have never seen any research that explains it.

[Hamsteroids]

I honestly don’t understand where these statistics come from. Almost every woman’s answer here has been that they don’t like lesbian porn, that they watch straight porn, or prefer gay porn. Makes no sense to me

[mistixs]

Almost every straight* woman's answer Bi and lesbian women exist too

[Hamsteroids]

I mean I guess. but most women are straight anyways. So it’s kind of puzzling. And if I read correctly, a Bisexual woman wrote she doesn’t like lesbian porn either

[mistixs]

Well I'm a bi woman and my preference would cancel hers out. (Though I don't watch porn anymore due to prevalence of sex trafficking)

[ConstantPain]

First off bi and lesbian exist yes but they account for less then 5 percent of any given population so their opinions shouldn’t influence majority much. Second off porn industry mostly isn’t sex trafficking and 97% of porn is fine it’s just the obscure dark web sites with illegal porn that only weirdos watch. that’s a problem.

[Anonymous]

Hell no. I never understood the fixation or assumption that all straight women watch lesbian porn.

Trust me, I'll take straight porn any day of the week over watching other women.

[eeeeep]

a lot of porn industries are very predatory and abusive to their actors, so i dont watch it or support it unless its cartoon or independent hentai.

[mistixs]

Same reason I don't watch it

[motownplayer2000]

But Hentai recreates that same themes expressed by regular porn. It's still predatory and abusive in a lot of it, and can have a romantic storyline in other. So what's the difference? The same people with that mindset still produce those things.

[mistixs]

@motownplayer2000 The difference is that people aren't being trafficked and raped

[motownplayer2000]

Lol but they are in some of the Hentai I've seen. Lots of tentacle rape scenes, and kidnapping and forced sexual encounters. Girls screaming stop and no.. yeah, pretty sure that's a bit more than the average porn site. Now if your talking dark web stuff. Sure I give you that... but that's not the content usually on a lot more distributed porn sites. Unless scripted

[mistixs]

@motownplayer2000 I'm talking about REAL people being trafficked and raped.

[motownplayer2000]

Yes, those aren't necessarily being exploited on the internet are they? Those are usually private groups and dark web stuff. This poster said that she doesn't watch porn except for cartoons and Hentai (basically the same). Which I'm just pointing out, that contradictory since a lot of the fantasies and themes in Hentai are predatory and abusive toward young women. Its virtually the same thing

[mistixs]

@motownplayer2000 You said yourself: "fantasies." There is a large difference between a "fantasy" & a real person being trafficked into porn against their will.

[lewisvenable]

@motownplayer2000 I write stories about myself being raped & buried alive. That's different from an actual person being forced to do porn against their will. No one is actually being harmed until real people are brought into the picture to depict these things against their will.

[motownplayer2000]

Lol no one is being forced on the internet to do anything they dont want.. 95% of porn is scripted (fantasies) for pleasure. The remainder or amateurs trying to get a thrill out of it. The 1% your talking about it dark web shit, and is completely illegal to have on any functioning porn site. None of them are doing that against there will. And yes, there may be a theoretical difference. But your still indulging in it as it gives you pleasure. You are still enjoying the idea fantasy, the idea of it. That's the same thing.

[MissKittyz]

I'm not even straight (I'm bisexual) and I don't even enjoy lesbian porn. So I find it super weird that straight women would enjoy it.

[dewatergirl]

I preferred it when I was younger before I understood that there's more than just a clit that's pleasurable. Once I discovered that I dropped lesbian porn and went to only straight porn.

[Andydelort01]

Are you straight?

[dewatergirl]

@Andydelort01 Yeah, and I'm married.

[hellionthesagereborn]

I find it strange that women look for romantic porn more then men along with gangbang porn. Seems a bit contradictory in my opinion. As for lesbian porn, I don't dislike it if its amateur, I just don't like it when its mainstream porn because its over acted and they tend to be less inclined to "get in their" so to speak, I prefer the authenticity of amateur.

[mistixs]

Well they're not necessarily the same women, and even if they are, it's possible for an individual person to have both a romantic side and a kinky side.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Not saying they are. I'm merely pointing out that those are polar opposites of each other meanwhile men are pretty consistent with what they are interested in compared to women.

[Mädchen]

What Kind of category is 'popular with women?' what does that even mean in this context?😅

[integrale77]

This would typically something lightweight a bit of romance etc something that would be a stereotypical woman might use for first time viewing or a man might introduce a woman into porn with i. e. women friendly porn

[Mädchen]

@integrale77 oh thanks, I never noticed this category on any porn Site

[integrale77]

I think on the porn hub site it is an old option they have just retained and some people are just putting this on there videos using it in there opinion

[MrHopper]

I personally find it a bit dull, i even witnessed lesbian sex first hand and found that boring too

[TheLockofaHeather]

I read an article that said many straight women enjoy lesbian porn because lesbian porn focuses solely on the pleasure of women.

[Guardian45]

Sounds pausible

[Guardian45]

LOL! PLAUSIBLE***

[COMMODOREII]

Yeah that's what i was thinking. Cause a lot of other porn focuses more on the pleasure of the guy. And i notice that in porn guus tend treat the lover as more of an item than person where in lesbian porn they are more focused on tge person's pleasure. I guess I'm more like a lesbian because i like my partner being pleasured and won't be satisfied if she isn't. Lol

[hahahmm]

No. And I never thought two ugly women playing sawhorse was attractive. At least one of then has to look good. Ideally both.

[JackSmy]

I wouldn't say it is my favorite kind, but top 5. Women are beautiful and I love watching how they play, sexually, not like the hard-core pounding crap like mainstream porn. Some Abby Winters, and two girls just playing! If you pay attention, sometimes they show things that work really well with straight women, maybe a girlfriend or wife. . .

[spartan55]

Lesbian anything does not move my needle at all.

[SkipStop]

Woah. Gangbangs seem to be pretty popular for women. Interesting.
I can't say that I "Prefer" lesbian over all the other types, but it is one of my favorites. It's what I look at when I am in the mood for something erotic and sensual. It's also more educational since women know more about what women like.

[binginghockey]

I don’t watch porn so go away

[LanzeWolf]

I truly believe that Straight or Lesbian porn puts more eroticism in the air for the person or people who are watching it.
Lesbian porn would fall into the same catagory as straight to me and most guys, of course 2 women who are going hot and heavy is always going to be much more sexy that gay male and it even tops straight porn...
For 2 reasons I can think of right away is, in My opinion, Most women who are in the industry are in shape, sexy, have implants etc... But most of all... The Moaning, Groaning in Exxtasy and when they CUM, They Usually let out an Exotic, Orgasmic Scream and to Watch their facial expressions and the body language after they Orgasm.. especially when it's Multiple's, it's just unbelievable!! Guys on the other hand, they're quiet and aren't sexy at all with their noises like a gorgeous woman who has just came so hard she's quivering and panting while the little beads of sweat drip and run over her smooth, Soft, Supple skin...

[sawno]

Yup, i love orgasm control and denial video's. Its typically hotter when an attractive girl does this to another attractive girl than if a man where to do it to her.

[slatyb]

I prefer lesbian porn because there are twice as many women.

[RoninReich]

Exactly

[frostwalrus]

Call me a homophobe, but I don't think any guy who doesn't watch lesbian and/or female solo porn exclusively is 100% straight.

[TadCurious]

I voted that I'm straight and watch (some) porn but I don't prefer lesbian porn.
Having said that I have watched it before and found it very sensual and erotic. It's educational for a straight guy to watch how women stimulate each other to orgasm.

[Miristheiss]

I hate porn... the rot of society.

[ImagineSketchy]

I realized I don't like any of the categories on the male side... Japanese being the literal least enjoyable to me. Milf... Ugh. Why? Mature? No... Stop. Lesbian... Sure. Ebony? As a person of African origin, I don't care for ebony. All the categories suck.

Digression aside, lesbian porn is fine with me solely because of how intimate and touching it can be. Seeing a woman truly enjoying herself doing something so primal gets me going. I also don't like seeing me so I don't even care for male x female porn. Since I love to see women in pleasure, seeing 2 or more enjoying themselves is even better.

[JazzHands]

women liking lesbian porn is a male fantasy.

[Chrisser69]

Well my girlfriend like lesbian porn... Then again she likes tentacles when she's drunk, so... She's kind of into a lot of weird stuff
