We all harbor secrets. Some are big and bad; some are small and trivial. Researchers have parsed which truths to tell and which not to.

When it comes to porn, many of us tend to hold a bit of a gender bias .
That is, when we think performers in porn, we might be more likely to think about women. And when we talk about consumers of porn (whether that be casually or compulsively), we more often think about men.
While research typically supports the idea that men report watching more porn than women, it is still common for women to report watching porn (and the numbers are most likely skewed due to increasingly outdated social standards, which still leave some women feeling uncomfortable disclosing their porn use).
And due to a lack of social discourse and empirical research, we just haven't learned all that much about women's experiences when watching porn. Until now.
In a new study published in The Journal of Sex Research, researchers provided a comprehensive overview of all qualitative research conducted on women's experiences of watching porn between 1999 and 2016. After conducting a thematic analysis of 22 articles (based on 21 studies) spanning nine countries, the authors made a number of observations.
Here are some noteworthy highlights.
Across several studies, the authors concluded that women focused on more than just the physical sexual acts they were watching on screen. Rather, the authors noted that there were numerous examples of women experiencing empathy for the performers.
That is, women commented on the facial expressions and potential feelings of the actors during various sexual activities. For example, they might notice if a performer was experiencing genuine sexual pleasure versus whether a sexual activity looked to be less enjoyable or even unpleasant for the actors.
The women's perceptions of the performers' enjoyment had implications for their own arousal. When women perceived the sexual activity as "unrealistic" or not "genuine," they also reported feeling less pleasure and sexual enjoyment themselves.
Given that porn exposes viewers to naked bodies (which most of us don't tend to see in our day-to-day lives), it is perhaps no surprise that women in the studies reported evaluating the performers bodies and reflecting on how they felt about their own bodies. However, the ways in which women compared their bodies varied considerably.
Some women described feeling less secure about their own bodies after watching porn — feeling their own bodies did not measure up to some of the porn star physiques (i.e., breast size, pubic hair grooming, age). However, in contrast, other women said that seeing porn actors' naked bodies helped them feel more normal about their bodies — seeing some similarities between themselves and the actresses — and some even reported feeling better about their bodies after watching porn.
Across studies, women reported varying comfort levels and preferences for how porn use was incorporated into their relationship.
Some women indicated that porn was arousing to watch with their partners and helped to give inspiration and ideas for different types of sexual activities. However, other women described feeling threatened with their partner's porn use, indicating that they did not like that their partner was experiencing arousal for someone else.
Finally, some women reported that they felt that porn was something their partner had a "right" to watch and were okay with their partner's viewing behaviors, as long as it was done privately.
Finally, the authors noted that a number of women experienced cognitive dissonance when it came to watching porn. That is, a number of women reported holding a certain perspective of porn that did not necessarily align with their behaviors.
With regards to arousal, some women reported that watching porn was sexually arousing, but also thought their enjoyment of porn was socially inappropriate (believing on some level that women should not watch porn). In that sense, some women felt conflicted with what they enjoyed and what they felt was socially acceptable for women to enjoy.
Additionally, some women reported holding negative perceptions about porn or actors who perform in porn (particularly concerns about exploitation), yet still reported using and watching porn for their own sexual stimulation. In this sense, some women experienced difficulty in terms of reconciling how porn felt to watch (i.e., titillating, sexually arousing, etc.) with certain cognitive and moral beliefs about porn (whether it's "ethical" or appropriate).
While it would be easy to make the argument that the majority of mainstream porn continues to target heterosexual men, it is common and natural for women to watch and enjoy porn.
The limited research on women's experiences watching porn, particularity in comparison to the abundance of research on men's experiences, leaves us with more assumptions and guesses about how women feel about porn than empirical research.
However, these findings offer some initial insights into women's experiences and may be a useful step in normalizing women's experiences and promoting a healthier and more open discourse about pornography use among women.

"Porn for Women" was Pornhub's most-searched term of 2017— and this is what they're watching
Chances are, you probably watch porn, and so does every other guy you know. But in 2017, an epic year for porn, data shows that the women in your life are probably watching it too.
Pornhub recently released its year-end data for 2017, and among the many revelations found that the number of women looking up porn exploded. In fact, the search term "porn for women" increased by over 1400 percent from 2016 on the site — a staggering increase that blew other search terms away.
So why was there a sudden increase in women users? Dr. Laurie Betito, sex therapist and director of Pornhub's Sexual Wellness Center, told the company that 2017 has empowered women to step up and express their desires more openly.
“From the “Me too” movement to prominent females the likes of Hillary Clinton and Nikki Haley on the world stage, women are feeling more empowered and they have found their voice," she said. "This is a sign of things to come.”
Now the real question— what exactly is it that women are watching ? Check out the graphic below, which splits the most-searched terms by gender for 2017.
As you can see, the top three most-searched terms by female users on Pornhub were "lesbian," "lesbian scissoring" and "threesome." Pretty different from the male's top three, which were "milf," "step mom" and "Japanese," although "Japanese" ranked pretty high for females, too.
It's also important to note that just because "lesbian" was the most-searched female term, doesn't mean it's only lesbian females looking it up. For example, this woman started watching porn with her husband and was surprised to discover she really enjoyed girl-on-girl.
What else? These findings present a perfect opportunity to ask how she feels about porn — and if she is into it, use that to understand what she's really into .

We’re told men are biologically wired to be more sexual than women, but this is junk science used to excuse bad behavior
Sign up for the Week in Patriarchy, a newsletter on feminism and sexism sent every Saturday.
Shocking neuroscience news this week, as a rousing new study discovers women have sex drives . Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Germany analyzed brain-imaging findings from a wide body of research and found that the “the neuronal response to visual sexual stimuli … is independent of biological sex”. In other words, women and men get just as horny when they look at erotic imagery. These revelations were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .
While the conclusion of this study may seem blindingly obvious to most women, it counters previous research which found men were more likely to respond to visual sexual stimuli. The study hypothesizes that this is because of small sample sizes, and because a lot of previous work on the subject relied heavily on self-reporting rather than biological responses. “Female sexuality has quite a lot of stigma around it,” Hamid Noori, one of the study’s senior authors, told the Guardian . “Maybe the main reason is that for the woman there are secondary inhibitory effects that keep them away from expressing what they really feel.”
If men and women’s brains respond the same way to erotic imagery, then why do most statistics find men are far more likely to consume porn? The social stigma around female desire that Noori notes is one big factor, but another obvious explanation is that porn is largely designed by and for men. As sex tech pioneer Cindy Gallop told me over email “any industry dominated by men at the top inevitably produces output that is objectifying, objectionable and offensive to women”. Gallop runs a user-generated videosharing startup called MakeLoveNotPorn, which she says is enjoyed by women and men equally. “So much so, that with those of our MakeLoveNotPornstars who are straight couples, we’ve found it’s usually the woman who’s decided she wants to socially share their #realworldsex, and persuaded the man.”
But enough about porn. What makes this new study important isn’t really what it says about pornographic consumption, it’s what it says about patriarchal control. We’ve been trained to believe men are biologically wired to be far more sexual than women, and this junk science is used to excuse a lot of bad behavior. Women shouldn’t dress “provocatively”, we’re told, because men are visual creatures who are easily distracted and can’t control their urges; if you wear skimpy clothing, you’re asking for it. Indeed, a survey conducted for the Independent earlier this year found that 55% of men in the UK believe “the more revealing the clothes a woman wears, the more likely it is that she will be harassed or assaulted”. Depressingly, 41% of female respondents also agreed with this view.
There’s still a lot of work to be done when it comes to debunking the idea that men’s brains are wired to see women as sex objects, but this study is a good step in the right direction. It’s yet another reminder that the policing of women’s clothing has nothing to do with “biology” and everything to do with society.
On Monday, Mike Pence toured the detention camps on the Texas border . The pictures of caged migrants that were released from this visit were horrific. Also horrific is the fact that Kiara Cervantes, a female US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, who appeared in one of those photos has now become an object of lust. The internet has dubbed her #Icebae and Cervantes seems to be reveling in her new-found fame. She’s posting selfies in her CBP uniform and has started a Twitter account to engage with fans. The CBP has said they are fine with her doing this. As, of course, they would be – having an attractive Latina woman as the face of a racist and inhumane organization is the best PR they could hope for.
New Jersey’s supreme court has finally taken action against a judge who didn’t want to try a 16-year-old rape suspect in adult court because he was a nice boy from a good family. “This young man comes from a good family who put him into an excellent school where he was doing extremely well,” Judge James Troiano said in his July 2018 decision. On Wednesday, the court terminated the judge’s temporary assignment. The court also recommended state superior court Judge John Russo Jr be removed. In 2016, Russo told an alleged rape victim that she should have closed her legs if she didn’t want to be assaulted.
A former University of Toronto medical student convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman simply “availed himself of an opportunity,” his lawyer argued in sentencing hearings . His client couldn’t resist raping the woman because he was so stressed from “leading an exemplary life,” apparently.
The California city voted to un-gender its municipal code on Tuesday. Words like “manhole” will be replaced with “maintenance hole” and “manpower” will apparently be replaced with “human effort”. The code will also use “they” and “them instead of gendered pronouns.
