Why do 70% of men watch porn and only 40% of women watch it?

I don't really believe 40% of women watch it but that's what this article I saw said. I think it's much less. Maybe they were counting women who watched it one time or something.

Why do 70% of men watch porn and only 40% of women watch it?

A lot of people say that far more men watch porn than women because the porn that is available is made to appeal more to men than women. But which comes first? The cart or the horse? Is most of the porn designed for men because it is men who want to watch it most, or are men watching it most because it's made for men? If there was a big demand for porn designed for women, don't you think it the porn industry would want to cash in on that and produce more of it?

Superb Opinion

  • Yes, yes... we dudes may watch the porn more. But allow me to blow your mind.

    Who makes more porn? I'm not going to say it, but just think about it. Now include things like onlyfans, chaturbate, and the other cam sites.

    There is just so many women online flicking the bean all day on camera... oh and the dog porn picture. I hangout on the part of the web that requires Tors... these chicks like fucking dogs for some reason.

    So in conclusion I will admit that a lot of us dudes have a problem by jerking off to chicks a bit too much. But the other gender doesn't have a clean slate either if you catch what I'm trying to say.

    • All I care about is that the picture was put on the homepage.

Most Helpful Guy

  • Honestly 40% sounds really high for women. Maybe it's because if how butch women are today.😆

    I'm guessing it's mainly fat, ugly cat ladies. Because most women know they can get laid at the drop of the hat by going into any bar on any given night, putting her legs up on the bar and saying she's open for business. So why would she resort to porn unless she simply didn't want to tolerate a guy that night.😆

    And 70% of men? Either 30% of men have no internet connection or 30% of men are lying. Because there are 2 types of men 1. men that masterbate and 2. men that lie about it.😆

Most Helpful Girls

  • because for the most part porn is modelled and sold to the male demographic.
    a lot of women ain't into the weird oiled up look and over the top "scream acting" of the female pornstars.

    • When they are oiled up and screaming it's the best part! 😂

  • "I think it is much less"
    Do you identify as a woman?

    • Keep in mind that is coming from a person who is demisexual yet I comprehend that women around me have needs and urges as well. We are human too

    • "Do you identify as a woman?" No.

  • Because they lie. Snowden, who was in a position to now, said otherwise.

  • I don't need porn, I have an imagination :D

  • I am yet to know a woman who hasn’t watched porn, do you hang out with nuns or liars?

  • LOL, sure, only 40 percent. :D Come on kid, you can't be that naive.

  • Well, for men it is still substantially higher, so that statistic makes logical sense. (If a statistic defies logical sense, examine it carefully). And as @aviatortom sagely pointed out, women are more likely reading the seamy sex stories rather than watching visual porn pictures or movies, and that still counts. The whole Christian Gray 50 Shades series of books were best sellers for a reason, and it wasn't men who were buying the books typically.

  • Maybe we just prefer spending our time enjoying sex rather than just watching.

  • Men are mostly visual.

    • @samantha36 nothing better than watching some good anal porn when there is no butthole available.

  • We are less likely to get a porn addiction but it's still very possible so obviously that 40% is probably them

    • Also women get more sex so they don't need to watch porn as much as men do

    • very true.

    • You women are actually hornier than men except it happens less frequently. That's why many women don't get satisfied so easily when having sex. Which is why you almost all have a collection of vibrators instead of watching porn.

  • I think half of the reason is that woman usually need more sensuality to be turned on. I think not knowing the people on the screen is many times over a bigger hurdle for woman generally speaking.

    And the other half is that woman don't really need porn like men do, it's very easy for them to just have sex. It doesn't cost them anything.

  • Because 70% of guys are unable to get sex.

  • Porn is trash, I rather watch someone cum to me, than to watch someone cum in someone else LOL.

  • Women on average read more than men and the erotic novel industry is almost entirely tailored to women. It's not like women have nothing to do with porn. Online visual porn is just tailored to men so men watch it more. I'd be willing to bet if they made erotic novel level storytelling combined with porn visuals that more appeal to women they'd make billions.

  • you do realize that the genre that is viewed by womans most is lesbian porn while most of them are straight right? sex for them and for us is vastly different.

  • More men struggle with reading.

  • Studies have shown that the male and female brains are different. Males are more visual while females are more verbal and textual. Men watch videos more while women read books more. When it comes to porn, men watch more porn videos than women, while women read trashy novels more than men.

    The 70/40 split seems reasonable.

  • Men are far more visual than women.

  • 1) Women are less horny than men

    2) Women are less visual than men

    3) Since majority audience are men , the porn makers mostly make contents that men find appealing

  • Probably because 90% of it is women and only 30% is men. Most of the time when you see men in those, all you see is a dick. And the women that DON'T watch are the ones that were IN them!!

    • Doers it really matter who it's made for? If you're a guy watching girl porn, you just put yourself in the position of the guy in the video just like girls can do watching guy porn.

  • By feeling:
    Because 60% of women are producing porn with 30% of the men.
    It's like: You would not read a book that you wrote yourself :)

  • they r more visual also porn industry basically making content for males
