What kind of porn do women watch?

I have been pondering this and after a little investigation the results are surprising:
Well, apparently they want to watch a bunch of gay sex. Pornhub’s Lesbian category is the leading favorite among the ladies, with Gay (male) following close at second place. The Gay category only falls into 7th place for men in terms of top viewed categories so it’s noteworthy here that overall, this category ranks higher with the sex opposite to that which this type of content is intended for.

Now some of those women will be lesbian and some bisexual yet the numbers are such that a big chunk of straight women are watching these types of videos.

Any ideas why these categories come top?

    Watching it as porn or actually taking part in them?

    I've seen the results of pornhub and I must admit I was surprised gay (male) sex was so high up. I personally love watching men on men action, I prefer that to lesbian porn. My "preferences" surprised me as, although I'm bisexual and in a relationship with a man I find women far more attractive than men.

    I am a woman who prefers men, but I also find women more attractive/sexy to look at than men. I think I must be slightly bisexual.

    Gay male sex doesn't do much for me though, and I'm surprised it is so popular.

    I could have written this post! I've watched male gay porn just out of curiosity before, I find it kind of fascinating :D

    I think maybe women maybe find men in gay porn more masculine, than in straight porn.

    and I think maybe men find women in lesbian porn more feminine....maybe.

    Someone on another forum(a gay man) said he thought straight men were more masculine, which is partly what I extrapolate from.

    Seems women like rough and bondage porn more than blokes, which I find quite surprising. Well maybe not looking at the popularity of 50 shades of grey amongst women.

    Bandage Porn made me chuckle.

    Bloody auto-correct! Just noticed that myself. I've edited it. I'm sure there's a small, but devoted following of bandage porn though :D

    I'm surprised gay (male) porn is so popular among female viewers. The thought of watching it does absolutely nothing for me. I'd rather watch women at it than men.

    A common explanation for these results is that women sometimes project themselves into the role of one of the lesbians and that of a man in the role of the other woman. Lesbian porn is more sensuous than straight porn and that is part of its appeal for women.

    However the popularity of gay porn, amongst females, seems to contradict that as men on men sex is generally less sensual and more physical.

    All very interesting, but does little to open the female mind to men! You ladies were and remain a mystery.

    Maybe the female interest is because it is the one (mainstream) porn variant in which women can't, by definition, be an active participant?

    I'm a gay man and some of my female friends have said that they like gay male porn. It doesn't surprise me at all that it's more popular with women than we think. Perhaps it's a generational thing.

    Another interesting titbit is that gay men watch an awful lot of straight porn.

    One thing that always amuses me in US cop shows is their references to 'gang bangers' not of the same meaning and which conjures up some bizarre images, unfortunately not all of them of the funny-inappropriate type.

    There's a 'yummy mummy' joke there somewhere but I really hate* that expression! That said, the remark about a dedicated following is probably not wrong...



    * though no problem with puns of it

    I used to watch the blokes in straight porn but this was in the days when it was on vhs rather on the intenet. Now there is gay porn for every taste. I don't know any of my female friends who admit to watching porn but then neither do any of the men.

    Maybe, though I'm only in my 30s so I'm not exactly ancient or from another time. :D

    The thing is, we are all individuals and each have our own likes and dislikes. Just because one woman likes something, it doesn't mean the next one will.
