What percentage of women watch porn?

Asked by rodydoe89 (356points) September 23rd, 2010

I am wondering how much the average woman watches porn? I know that women don’t typically publicly discuss this topic, but I’ve always been open about it. Maybe it’s because I grew up with three older brothers and my views on it are different from other women, but it’s pretty much a very regular thing for me. Who’s with me?

No one can answer this question with any percentages, really. Some people watch porn, others don’t. I do.

rodydoe89's avatar

Well, I know you can’t give a percentage. Do you think that most of the women that deny watching porn actually do watch it?

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@rodydoe89 The women I surround myself with wouldn’t deny such a thing.

@rodydoe89 ,Yes! am sure so! On that fact that the women who deny watching porn.
I am also very open to my closest friends and they all know that I watch porn.

I am proud, instead of having sex I just masturbate and am free of getting pregnant and STD’s!

Hurray for women who watch porn!!!

Same here.

And, I watch it, yes.

Happy to know that I’m not the only one. @Simone_De_Beauvoir , It can be quite difficult for me to get along with some females, maybe because I haven’t found the right girlfriends yet. I’m 21 years old and have only ever had 2 girlfriends in my life. All of my friends have always been guys (maybe I feel more comfortable around guys, since I grew up with 3 older brothers) so this has always seemed something very normal to me. That’s why I was asking, do women regularly masturbate and watch porn?

I love porn.

wilma's avatar

I don’t watch it and I wouldn’t deny it if I did.
I don’t have the time or the inclination.
But I couldn’t care less if you or someone else watches it.
I don’t know if my women friends watch it, we haven’t really discussed it.

I dont like porn, I find it embarrasing , (silly moaning women with long finger nails!)

I reckon, because there is so much of it around, its why we are all expected to shave our beavers these days!

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

@tuesday242 not all porn is like that, you know. Personally, I won’t watch anything that has breast implants, just my own preference. Perhaps you would find it less embarrassing to watch something a little less “staged” looking, and more natural?

Jude's avatar

@tuesday242 you’re watching the wrong kind of porn.

ucme's avatar

Not nearly as many as those who puke when they clap eyes on Ron Jeremy’s wrinkled old trouser snake :¬(

tuesday242's avatar

@TheOnlyNeffie @mama_cakes,
but i really dont want to have to do the research, to find “unfingernaily” porn

Jude's avatar

@tuesday242 it’s not hard to find.

Otto_King's avatar

@tuesday242 Our message is to you that You must watch porn!! ;) Admit that you want it too!! :)

Seaofclouds's avatar

I watch it sometimes, but not often. I know a lot of women that watch it, none of them would deny it.

Blueroses's avatar

Well, I’m a single girl and I watch porn when I’m alone and feeling horny. The problem is that it’s a lonely pass time and I often find myself more bored than turned on by the unrealistic scenarios. don’t even get me started on the porntastic staples that never, ever happen in real life.
Without human feedback, it’s just an image that leaves me hungrier. I can invent better stories in my mind or, if I want response, go into an anonymous chat room and get a boy to play along.

Nutsy's avatar

I watch porn pretty often, whether I’m having sex regularly or not – and have a lot of friends that do as well. I feel indulgent sleeping in, then lying in bed and masturbating at my leisure!!

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I’m female now in my 40’s and watching porn never appealed to me. I’m more of a doer than a watcher so watching other people having sex when I’d rather be is more of a distraction and annoyance. The only time I’ve taken an interest is to find things that appeal to me to share with a partner in order to gauge their interest in doing those things with me.

92.4750133333% of the women I have known have or do watch porn.

DrasticDreamer's avatar

I watch it, and have no problem saying so.

Berserker's avatar

I watch it every now and then, but I do have my preferences, amateur porn gets me going a lot more than then staged stuff-which is still awesome, by the way.

Jude's avatar

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of the staged stuff. Amateur is so much better. The folks in it don’ have to have perfect bodies either. I like natural.

aprilsimnel's avatar

I’ve seen porn. It’s boring. My imagination is a lot better – and it should be, I’m a writer.

krose1223's avatar

Meh… It’s not my thing. I’ve had issues with it and it just makes me feel yucky. I don’t think anything about people who watch it, unless they are in a relationship and doing it against their SO’s wishes. If I was single I might be more interested but it makes me feel really insecure. I’m not confident enough to watch it with my husband. I tried but it just made me want to cry and ended up killing the mood. I know that’s bad, but it’s me. :(

Power to those of you who watch it though! Maybe some day I’ll get there.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I feel like @aprilsimnel in that my imagination is a lot better than anything I’ve ever seen on porn and I think that’s what adds to my disappointment. Now, if I could enact live the things that go through my brain… whew!

rooeytoo's avatar

What I have seen seems to be directed at a male audience. Too much male domination, gang bang situations, all demeaning to women.

Is there any that is not like this, perhaps orchestrated by a female who has a broader (pardon the pun) audience in mind?

iammia's avatar

I watch on my own or with my partner.

I have brothers too…

Deja_vu's avatar

I’m not to crazy about porn. It’s boring. Aren’t guys more visually stimulated then females anyways??

sleepdoc's avatar

@Deja_vu .. I asked that question before on here…. not sure we ever came to a consensus.

wundayatta's avatar

Is there anyone else here who, when they hear about these women being horny and having only masturbation to console them, wishes they could hang out a shingle? “Scratch your itch here!”

Neizvestnaya's avatar

As @rooeytoo writes, most porn I’ve bothered to watch or has been shown to me seems totally male oriented in that a lot of what’s portrayed wouldn’t really arouse me, the moves I mean. Now there is some Asian porn I’ve watched where the moves are more like what turn on a woman’s body in a real live situation.

Blueroses's avatar

@wundayatta Yes, there are those days. But something about having the words “shingle” and “itch” in the same sentence makes that seem less appealing

amberrae's avatar

Porn is very much a part of my life and I think its awesome when women arent afraid to admit they love it as well! I really cannot stand it when I hear a woman talk about porn as if it were “gross” or say “eewweee I dont like porn, thats gross” There is nothing gross about watching people fully enjoying themselves so that you may enjoy yourself as well!

Neizvestnaya's avatar

@amberrae: I’ve talked with other female friends about this and we must be an extremely vain or narcissistic group because most of us feel we look better than the porn actors and are just as if not more creative as far as sex moves go. I prefer to watch me and my partner having sex versus cracked out looking strangers with fake tans, fake breasts, fake nails, fake muscles, fake expressions, fake spooge and real ass pimples. Ick is right.

amberrae's avatar

If you’re that good looking then damn… guess I’d rather watch you and your partner having sex too!! Live porn…

krose1223's avatar

fake muscles?? But yes, I agree they are not appealing women. I don’t find the porn star look attractive.

Blueroses's avatar

yep, sprayed on ab-muscles (stencil). Haven’t seen that? Want a link?
