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women, it is still common for women to report watching porn (and the numbers are most likely skewed due to increasingly outdated social standards, which still leave some women feeling uncomfortable disclosing their porn use).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 should be for everyone. Thankfully, we’ve reached a point in history when this is gradually becoming the case. Finding porn sites for women is easier than ever, what with the new generation of inclusive genres.
We’re past the male gaze – it’s not all objectifying women anymore!
There are adult websites that almost exclusively provide porn for women where the sex scenes are geared more towards female-friendly content. These videos, stories, and audio porn focus more on erotic stories and the fulfillment of sexy fantasies .
Interested? Here are the best porn sites for women in 2021!
Bellesa is the best female-friendly adult content company right now, and their Bellesa Films arm—the department responsible for creating pornography—is one of the reasons why they’re labeled as such.
The sex videos here feature stellar talents like Lucie Blush, Anna Richards , and Erika Lust coming out with porn vids in a variety of different plot scenarios themed around pleasure and empowerment. We love to see it!
Tristan Taormino would be proud – Sssh.com is the kind of female porn site that provides you with pornography that counters the male gaze and gives women the most engaging variety of sophisticated smut we can find right now.
There’s even a VR pornography feature. Pretty soon, it could be one of the best VR Porn sites!
Pornhub is arguably the largest porn provider today, so it’s no surprise that they don’t just focus on content for men.
With categories that feature couples in a nice sex story to female-friendly content and clips with hot gay men, Pornhub has some of the nicest porn sites for ladies looking for free clips.
One of the best paid porn subscription platforms , OnlyFans is a great source of women’s porn content if you know who to subscribe to.
But the real draw here is the wide array of mediums that your female-positive porn could come in – audio stories; sex films with plot; videos and photo galleries; and more!
If you’re looking for pleasure with a nice helping of imagination, then Literotica’s stories of sex-positive wish fulfillment and forbidden delights will really get you going.
Whether it’s the classic pool boy scenario or Harry Potter slashfic, there’s something for everyone at Literotica.
Formerly known as “Lucie Makes Porn”, CommonSensual features scenes that are all shot from the female perspective , and it’s something that even men could enjoy if they gave it a shot.
With gripping plots, wonderful direction, and depictions of sex that make women feel pleasure without objectification, Lucie’s works are high-quality smut for women. Sign me up!
This particular category focuses less on sex and more on the reactions to sex that people feel when we’re aroused.
The site features user-submitted video clips of people filming their face during orgasm, without seeing the actual masturbation itself.
It’s not everyone’s thing, but I personally think it’s really hot.
XConfessions features some of the best talents in feminist porn like Erika Lust and Lis Freimer .
But what makes this site stand out is the sheer attention to detail that the performers, directors, and the whole production team put into each of their adult films.
Frolic Me has some of the most diverse categories in female-positive pornography, ranging from more vanilla treats that lean heavily on the romantic aspects of sex to raunchier affairs that introduce whips and ball gags to the bedroom.
And we’re not talking about videos exclusively, too, as Frolic Me also has a wide library of audio porn and erotic literature. The only downside? It’s a bit pricey, with their subscription rates going as high as 60 GBP (or around 82 USD).
Vivid-Ed is famed feminist Tristan Taormino’s stomping ground.
The writer and porn director doesn’t just provide you with cheap thrills and fantasy fulfillment with the works she’s made for Vivid-Ed, but helps men and women by educating them in the beautiful art of sex.
Sexy AND educational. Learn something while getting off.
Bright Desire blurs the line between simple porn and legitimate cinema by providing its members with films that feature plot-heavy elements.
It’s the Gone With The Wind of porn.
In addition to that, Bright Desire is also a champion of LGBTQ+ rights when it comes to porn, as they have a non-binary selection of clips and videos you could enjoy. Cute.
The Crash Pad Series has come a long way ever since it debuted in 2005, and it seems to be getting stronger with its selection of great, inclusive content for all genders.
However, if this site has one specialty, it’s their Vanilla section, whose content features equal parts sensuality and kink without the gaudiness of mainstream porn.
Lady Cheeky Tumblr is a blog created by sex guru and author Elle Chase to educate and entertain men and women from around the world about what it means to have an idea of what gender-equal sensuality is all about.
Aside from her regular entries, Elle can also be hired for personal counseling that involves body positivity, social media responsibility, and sex ed. We love to see it.
Porn 4 Ladies is a collection of clips gathered from a number of sources all around the internet, and it’s got one primary goal: to provide women with some of the best smut they can get for free.
The genres you’ll find here include BDSM, public sex, sensual blowjobs, edging, and a whole lot more. Explore the dark side of your deepest desires!
Chaturbate, if you know who to look for, provides some very gratifying online live female-oriented sex shows.
Whether you prefer watching guys, girls, couples, or trans performers, a quick search on Chaturbate would yield you some fine results.
Many models even have remote control vibrators that are tip-activated, making everything very interactive and exciting! It’s definitely a favorite for free live cam shows .
Kink.com specializes—you guessed it— in providing its members with high-quality fetish porn that range from the cute and cuddly to the rough and raunchy.
At $15 to $40, their subscription rates are a steal if you’re looking for generous amounts of kink with high levels of production values.
These porn sites are some of the finest examples of how complex and socially conscious porn could be. We’re living in a time when porn—aside from the usual desires it fulfills— could actually be a vehicle for social change.
But how exactly are our female-focused adult films different?
Porn that’s meant for women is produced from a female perspective, which means that it caters to more sophisticated tastes and demands.
Simply speaking, the female POV in porn isn’t just about getting from point A (the sexual act) to point B (orgasming or its equivalent); it’s more about empowerment, body positivity, inclusion, and fantasy fulfillment.
Porn made for women doesn’t just stick to one medium, as opposed to male-centric pornographic works that heavily rely on video content.
When it comes to female-oriented porn, you have a wide selection of mediums to choose from, which include video, audio porn, erotic literature , and print media.
Your imagination is the sexiest thing!
Unlike mainstream paid porn , whose goal is to make you climax as fast as possible, female porn—as we said— focuses more on fantasy, wish fulfillment, and power dynamics.
As such, one of the most common ways that creators in this genre fulfill that is by adding light to heavy plot elements in their works.
It’s not all about the destination – it’s about the journey.
So which is the best female-focused porn site? It has to be Bellesa .
Bellesa has the deepest library that features works by some of the best female and female-oriented porn creators around today. If you want sex from the perspective of a horny woman, you’ll find it at Bellesa.
In addition, the genres that they employ in their works go far and wide, not to mention that each of their releases has some of the highest production values you’ll find in porn, regardless of genre! I’ve spent countless passionate nights at Bellesa’s mercy.
Whichever site gives you that orgasm you need, we hope you enjoyed our list!
