Are women looking at adult material??

    Women are capable of being visually stimulated by porn. This is just my own experience. We are taught not to look. I remember the first time I was exposed to porn sites on the internet (which was only a couple years ago). A male friend showed me and I was nervous that it even showed up on my computer. I felt so guilty for even looking. It didn't feel like this is something a nice girl should do. We are also taught that men are more into visual stimuli, but I think that's a question of nurture and not nature. We are taught to fit a certain mould. It is tough to see that you don't have to fit the mould. I also think there are a bunch of interwoven factors that would be much too long to post.
    When I watch it, I like it and I probably like it as much as any dude. Obviously we all have our preferences.
    Lately I have been chatting about porn to some close girlfriends and some have shared with me they do watch it and enjoy watching. Some, I have made a small introduction :). Teehee

    I'm not visually stimulated by looking at genitals. I am stimulated by my imagination. I need a story.

    Women do like porn, I know this first hand BUT there still seems to be an innate difference between the sexes and such material. Lets take things like free cam sites. You have basically men watching women, and gay men watching men, with only a few women watching. Men basically beg women to watch them jerk off. If women liked looking at dicks as much as men liked looking at boobs, the world would be a happier place.

    That's not evidence of innate differences. The amount of dick-looking a person requires has more to do with their life experience than their gender.

    I enjoy porn, but that's one of the things that I don't like about watching most porn. Spending time just watching a dick pumping in and out of a pussy does nothing for me. Or an asshole. Or a gaping asshole, which I don't find erotic at all. Sometimes seems to go on for several minutes. Boring, at least to me. Close-ups make it worse.
    On the other hand (heh heh) I like watching a woman/girl work a cock, either with her mouth, or with her hands, or both. I think that I like watching that because I like doing that. And I love watching the way (natural) breasts move. Sloshing, swaying, bouncing, tit-fucking. When I was a dancer, I would cup my hands under my breasts, and just bounce them up and down. Or lift them up and do a boob drop. The audience loved it. Mostly male, of course.

    I'm with you on the gaping assholes, I like watching anal but don't find that a turn on in the slightest.
    I don't mind short closeups of genitals but five minutes is boring and bad film making.
    I'd also like to see faces along with the rest of the body, seeing somebody enjoy the sex makes it sexier.
    For sound effects I understand it's kind of hard to keep coming up with a new moan all the time but repeating the same one with every stroke or suck is kind of distracting.
    People just don't sound like that.
    I've mentioned about the how the gagging thing makes no sense to me but the other one is how the guys eat pussy.
    I suspect if I ever tried some of the things they do on a lady they would kick me in head and that would be end of that sexy time.
    I understand porn is not real but sometimes things kind of throw you out of it.

    Which is why many watch it with the fast-forward or jumping ahead in the vid.
    That way, you can skip the BS you don't want, get a thrill from the position you do like...for a long or little as you want...then jump ahead to the next point.

    And the sounds are distracting...unless it's part of the plot buildup. So that's why mute is good.
    I can take a bit of sound, on low volume...but once it gets redundant fake or sloppy, mute goes on.

    When I used to work at the adult vid store, I used to wonder why so many regulars would rent so many at a time....but then it makes sense now, if you fast forward through the parts you don't want.
    You're looking for stimulation from the variety.

    If I want erotica, I read erotica...I can get into their heads and emotions.
    But with porn, I'm just looking to get off quick...but after some time, you just want variety.
    IRL...the noise, the touch, the build up, the emotion, the whole thing is the stimulation.

    ...but this doesn't come with instant gratification, which is something my johnson wants/needs...nor would I ask anyone to account for or keep up with. It just doesn't happen that way, that often.

    What I like in porn, isn't what I like in erotica and isn't what I like in reality.
    Nor would I expect anyone to be the same or consistent. Why does anyone expect this? Is it just easier to think that way? People aren't that way...especially not over time & life.

    I'm just wondering if the pattern and the volume is changing with the discretion and availability the Internet provides all. I hear if from men...I don't hear if from women often.
    Seems like it depends on the woman.
    It's all good.

    You can only blame society so much for gender differences.

    Maleā€“Female Reactions to Variations in Sexual Explicitness in Pornography: An Empirical Test of Predictions of Intra- and Inter-gender Differences - Springer
    another link
    yet another

    I only picked the most recent studies I could find (mind you with a casual search). Perhaps it is due to "life experience" but really thats up to you to show, not proclaim.

    I can't tell what the first is really measuring, but they all seem to be looking at behavioral responses of adults. Adults who have been surrounded by society's gender messaging since birth. They don't actually support your contention that men and women have different *innate* responses to pornography because there's no way to adjust for the effects of culture if all the people you're testing come the same cultural experiences.

    In other words, assuming the abstracts of those papers are accurate, those aren't the papers you think they are and they don't support your notion of gender-based innate responses to dick pics.

    But I will amend my previous claim: The amount of dick-looking a person requires is dependent on whether they like looking at dick, and that once sexual preference is factored into the equation, there is no evidence that differences in dick-looking propensity between men and women are innate.

    From the last study. You can proclaim what you like but personally, with the very narrow views expressed on TFP in its current form, I think we have the "my kink is everyone's kink" problem here. Maybe you and Snowy here really like porn, and of the visual variety. Thats great, but that doesn't mean that "women" like visual porn as much as men any more than a man who doesn't like porn means men don't like porn. Populations are different obviously than individuals.

    I think you have a "science supports my perspective regardless of what science actually says" problem. You have yet to present any evidence that differences in porn viewing habits between men and women are innate. No one is saying there aren't differences in the aggregate. The dispute is over whether those differences are due to nature or nurture.

    I agree in general. an extended string of close-ups can be pretty dull if it is a substitute for any other kind of more imaginative work. On the other hand, if the scene leading up to it has been worthwhile, or I find the woman whose junk is being close-uped-upon to have some kind of unique kind of attraction, i can find it a bit more erotic. I think it comes down to context. I definitely find any erogenous zone more compelling if there is a face attached to it.

    It's the dick pumping in pussy or bunghole closeups the leave me bored and looking for the fast forward, or just jumping two or three minutes ahead.

    But someone must enjoy those minutes, though, because I've noticed those scenes in movies that were otherwise carefully edited. So I think that it is done purposefully.

    It's not that I dislike watching dicks, because I've watched closeup blowjob scenes that I find incredibly panty-dampening turn me on erotic, including facials, (which I usually don't care for) and the so-called oral cream pie.
    But only when the girl/woman works the male to climax by herself. Facials, or any other scenes where the guy has to finish by jacking himself off (in other words, most porn cumshots) are definitely not "Lindy ApprovedĀ®" scenes.

    I'm finding this interesting, since while I don't mind the occasional shot of cock pumping pussy/ass, nor do I mind the occasional moment of knob-gobbling, I have zero interest in extended blowjob scenes.

    What I want to see more than anything else is legitimate female response and reaction-- to being fucked, eaten, played with, whatever. I want to see genuine fuckage, complete with sweat, tears, shaking and quivering; I want to hear actual moaning and groaning. I want to see a real orgasm, and hear some completely authentic squealing and/or screaming. Fuck talk can be good, too, if truly spontaneous, and not done to excess, or done extremely poorly ("Fuck me," "Harder," "You love it/I love your cock in me," etc., all good; "Oh baby your cock is sooooo big!" etc., really not good).

    I don't care about seeing sexual gymnastics, I don't care about lighting or makeup or model bodies (in fact, I prefer non-model types and the meh lighting and no professional makeup of homemade). I want to see women coming. I want to see them coming like they've never come before in their lives. I want to hear them unabashedly and genuinely screaming with pleasure like they were seeing stars-- galaxies of dick- and tongue-shaped stars. I want to see them working off a mountain of horny until they are trembling, panting, gasping, crying with satisfaction.

    I'm guessing this probably is related to my habit of, with pretty much any even remotely attractive woman that I encounter, picturing them having an orgasm.

    Did I mention that I am very much in favor of women having orgasms?
