Did you know that women in the US account for around 24% of all viewers on top sites like Pornhub?
If you look at countries like the Philippines and Brazil, women account for a whopping 35% of all porn viewers, so the gap between the sexes gets even smaller. Across the US, 23% of Pornhub viewers are women, with Mississippi taking the top spot of 26% for most female porn viewers (relative to population) in all the US states. I guess there isn’t much else to do down there?
Anyway, one thing’s for sure – some women love porn, no matter their orientation.
It looks like the number of women watching female-friendly porn is only getting higher and higher as stigmas are broken down and millennials take a more feminist view of their sex lives. I’ve spoken to many young millennial and even Gen Z women who unashamedly declare that they watch porn regularly.
Back 10 or 20 years ago, that would’ve been weird and “hush-hush”. Women only felt comfortable bringing this sort of stuff up in conversation if it happened on, say, Sex and the City and they had a convenient way to shoehorn it into a conversation. It seems that modern women aren’t making a big deal out of female porn viewing, and that’s nice to hear. It’s natural, after all.
A Surprising Statistic
Pornhub reports that its female viewers spend an average of 10 minutes and 10 seconds on the site during a single session, while male viewers spend an average of only 9 minutes and 22 seconds in one session.
I suppose you could attribute this to the idea that men can “finish” quicker. Although fewer women watch porn when compared to men, the ones that do are happy to relax into a lengthy session. I guess it’s like having quality over quantity for the Pornhub network.
Of course, this is all just from one source, but PornHub is the biggest free pornwebsite in the world, amassing over 33,500,000,000 site visits in just 2018 alone. It’s basically the Google of the porn industry at this point, although as we will explain shortly, it’s not necessarily the best place to find female-oriented porn.
What Do Women Like?
Some of the top search terms used by female Pornhub users in the US include: “rough sex”, “lesbians scissoring”, “big black dick”, “squirt”, “BDSM” and “surprise anal”. If we look at terms which are growing in popularity among female viewers, we find things like “man eating pussy”, “guy fingering pussy”, and “fucked hard screaming” in addition to more cliché terms like “romantic sex”.
It seems that the female porn-viewing audience enjoys a diverse mixture of softcore erotica videos and hardcore fucking. Of course, you can still find plenty of romantic stuff reminiscent of Mills & Boon that gets the ladies all hot and bothered, but it’s not all super tasteful and SFW. Thank god!
Female Empowerment
After viewing a lot of “for her” porn in preparation for this article, I noticed a common theme throughout most of the videos – a lot of them focused on female empowerment and respect. Instead of women being treated like pieces of meat, they are depicted more as masters of their own sexual destiny, sucking and fucking because they choose to. These women own their pleasure.
Cunnilingus and pussy fingering is also commonly found in all types of female-oriented porn. The idea of someone licking their most sensitive and intimate area is a real turn-on for many ladies.
Seduction is another common trope that runs throughout female-oriented porn, with the woman seducing the man into fucking her. This throws the usual “man wants to fuck woman and woman lets him” dynamic out of the window. No, in this case, the confident female pornstars know what they want and they go out of their way to get it.
Sexy Scenarios
The brain is the body’s largest erogenous zone, which is something that a lot of porn intended for heterosexual men fails to take into account. The very idea and context of sex can be arousing in and of itself, whether you’re a woman or a man. For this reason, a lot of porn for ladies centers around sexy and naughty scenarios.
For example, one of my favorites from Bellesa.com involves a stepbrother andstepsister (presumably 18 or 19) who play pranks on one another. It’s Halloween,and the stepbrother puts his dick in a pumpkin and then asks his stepsister to reach inside and pull the seeds out. Once her hand is in there, she begins to slowly jack him off in front of their “mom” who scorns them for it. Later on, they comically fuck in the living room while hiding from their “mom”. It’s silly and unrealistic, but it has an air of taboo and naughtiness about it which is undeniably sexy.
Taboo porn stories and scenarios which relate to your life can be sexy in numerous different ways depending on your lifestyle and sexual experiences. If you work in an office, you might find spontaneous office sex arousing, while if you go the gym a lot, then some sexy sweaty action in the gym showers after a workout session might be enough to get you hot under the collar next time you’re stomping the treadmill.It all depends on you and your tastes, but female-friendly porn does place a stronger emphasis on sexy scenarios and storylines when compared to regular modern porn. In a way, women’s porn today is more similar to vintage studio-produced porn from back in the ‘70s and ’80s when there was more of an emphasis on unique settings and scenarios.
Female-Friendly Porn Sites to Try
No matter your sexual orientation, there is bound to be some crossover with regular male-focused porn in terms of what turns you on personally. However, if you’re looking for more specific sources of porn which are designed to turn women on specifically, then here are a few good sites to try:
- ForHerTube is a simple grid-style free porn video site which features varied categories that you can browse. Some of the most popular categories include Innocent, Seduce, Perverted, Hot Mom, Lesbian Seduce, Submissive, Erotic, and Wife in Threesome, to name but a few.
- Sssh has been creating award-winning female-centric porn content for over 20 years at this point. The only downside is that it requires a membership to watch their stuff, but the movies are very high-quality and well-made. They’re also known for listening to what their female viewers want to see and then incorporating it into their films. Nice.
- YouPorn is part of the popular Pornhub network that dominates seemingly all of the porn online. Although YouPorn doesn’t explicitly brand itself as being for women, it does have many more female viewers than its counterparts and you can hence find a lot of women’s porn on there. You can search to find videos by fetish, for different kinds of sex toys, or by scenario. The branding is also a little more “feminine”, with pink lettering and a love heart in the logo. That might seem a tad patronizing, but it is what it is.
- Bellesa is arguably the most popular porn site for women or at least one of the most sought after. Bellesa features a diverse arrangement of videos, images, and erotic stories which are designed to help women get off. You’ll find lots of pussy eating on there, and the porn videos are divided into categories like “sensual”, “passionate” and “rough” depending on your mood that evening.
- Literotica Although we’re mainly talking about porn movies in this blog, we can’t dismiss erotica entirely. Literotica has been the internet’s #1 erotica story website for 20+ years now, providing a platform for writers of all tastes and calibers to share their erotic desires for the whole world to see. You’ll find all sorts of sexy stories on there, from BDSM to Romance. Just ignore how awful and outdated the website looks. It’s almost as bad as Craigslist.
The Bottom Line
Just like men, women have varied tastes and find different things arousing depending on various factors. In other words, we can’t paint all of one gender with the same brush. However, for the majority of ladies, the sites listed above will cater to their needs and help them to get off more reliably.
More and more women are living out their digital porno fantasies online, so why not give these sites a try and see if they’re for you? Whether you want to see a hot mom fucking her son’s friend or Mr. Darcy cheekily glancing at Elizabeth’s ankle, grab your Emojibator and get ready for a night of fun!
