"I mostly watch lesbian porn, but I’ll watch straight porn if the guy plays a minimal role and his face isn’t showing."
Porn isn’t for everyone, but the myth—long touted as fact—that women categorically don’t like porn is totally bogus. In fact, in a report published in 2019, researchers proved it’s bogus when they found that “the neuronal response to visual sexual stimuli … is independent of biological sex,” AKA erotic images and videos make everyone horny regardless of gender. But when most mainstream porn sites still cater heavily to the male gaze , what kind of porn do women like, and what are we actually consuming?
Pornhub’s annual polls and surveys consistently find that “lesbian porn” ranks number one with female viewers. In 2019, Pornhub reported that lesbian porn was 151% more popular with women when compared to men. In the United Kingdom, female viewers were 31% more likely to search for “rough sex.” And in Mexico, women were 95% more likely to view “striptease” content.
It’s also common to consume porn featuring sex acts or scenarios you wouldn’t experience in real life, or that you’re curious about but not yet ready to try yourself. Psychotherapist Amanda Luterman , founder of the Center for Erotic Empathy in Montreal, says this may actually be a trick of mindfulness.
“It means you don’t have to think about real life when aroused. You're totally in the present, experiencing what you're stimulated by at that moment, because it's not bringing memories or comparisons or anything else. You're just enjoying it,” she says. “It’s a great exercise in mindful, imaginative stimulation.”
Luterman also says watching, reading, or listening to porn that takes you out of your everyday sexual experiences might even make arousal easier. “Erotic narratives that do not bring about real life comparison are probably more likely to be arousing easily than ones that require you to push away distractions of your personal life,” she adds.
Whatever gets you off, porn can be a handy resource in your pursuit of the orgasm . Below, 15 women and femme-identifying people reveal the go-to category of porn that never fails to get them over the hump.
1. “When it comes to my favorite type of porn, I look for chemistry, passion, storytelling, and mutual pleasure , in any genre.” —Angie, 45
2. “Lately I’ve been exploring different fetishes that I think I’ve had for a while but haven’t paid much attention to until now, like lesbian squirting and even pee porn . It’s really erotic watching women release so fully.” —Celine, 26
3. “I’m always changing up what I watch, but right now I am looooving dom/sub porn with lots of restraints and bondage, and orgasm denial. There’s something about completely giving yourself and your pleasure over to another person that really turns me o n about the sub, and then watching a dom work their magic is really hot, too.” —Lexie, 28
4 . “My go-to choice is soft, black-and-white, artsy porn GIFs. I find most of my porn on Tumblr and rely solely on GIFs to get off. Videos get me off too quickly, and there’s always something that throws me off since they’re so unpredictable. I like that with a GIF, I can watch it for five seconds, know what to expect, and trust that it won’t become offensive or gross in a later scene. I mostly watch lesbian porn, but I’ll watch straight porn if the guy plays a minimal role and his face isn’t showing. I’m bisexual, but I just find most men in porn to be so aggressive that it turns me off.” — Rachel, 26
5. “It’s a tie between FFM (female, female, male) threesomes and squirting . I like FFM threesome porn because there’s generally a lot of different sexy things going on to tune in to, and it’s a fantasy of mine that I’m not sure I’m ready to live out yet. As for the squirting porn, I like when the scene involves a couple. I think it’s hot to see a woman having an orgasm that intense with a partner.” — Celeste, 23
6. “There are two major categories I go to for porn: lesbian couples sex or multiple guys with one girl gang bangs . I find that if I haven’t watched porn in a little while, I prefer longer, softer, or more romantic lesbian porn; when I’m hornier or masturbating multiple times a day, I prefer more male-perspective porn, specifically gang bangs. I love imagining myself in those situations and tend to find that the hornier I am to begin with, the less realistic my fantasies I want my porn to fulfill.” — Hannah, 23
7. “I always find myself getting off on any type of hard-core porn that involves a woman being handled roughly and/or taken control of. Spanking, nipple play, and all types of fingering just put me in a mental place where I can’t help but feel good. TBH, anything that doesn’t include nipple or ass play is boring to me because it feels like wasted potential.” — Stephanie, 27
8. “My top choice is soft-romantic lesbian porn . It’s sensual, filled with foreplay, and erotic. It’s easy to place myself in their position and imagine I’m receiving oral. Any mainstream heterosexual porn minimizes foreplay on the woman and emphasizes positions that place the man as an aggressive superior. I also like two woman rimming/giving oral to a man. It’s a turn-on to see a man in a vulnerable act where he’s expressing the pleasure he’s receiving. I find that having the two women vs. the man balances the feminine/masculine energy, as men are the main characters of mainstream porn by default.” — Courtney, 27
9. “My top categories are usually lesbian, gang bangs, interracial, and female masturbation . I’m a bisexual woman currently in a long-term straight relationship, and when I watch porn, I usually like to visualize a situation that I’m not typically experiencing. I think these categories reflect my dating/sexual history prior to entering into my current relationship. These genres remind me of my sexual autonomy outside of my relationship. When I’m masturbating, it’s all about me and what I like, so I cover all bases.” — Leann, 25
10. “I almost exclusively watch girl-on-girl scenes . I love having sex with men, but guy/girl porn has always seemed so mechanical to me. Girl on girl has more kissing, more touching—it’s just sexier and more of a turn-on. While this isn’t the case for everyone, watching this kind of porn reconfirmed and allowed me to explore what I’d suspected for a while: I’m bisexual.” — Simone, 35
11. “If I’m looking on Pornhub, I tend to go for the ‘babe’ category, as it’s where I feel like the women tend to look like me, especially in terms of body type. Finding acceptable porn to watch feels like applying a harm reduction model . Within that category, I prefer amateur stuff, because it reproduces the kind of sex I enjoy having. However, recently, I’ve been trying to not go to Pornhub as much and buy more directly from sex workers for porn for political reasons. This is in contrast to the ‘for women’ category, which I have never liked. That feels like a caricature of feminine desire, which apparently means candles and soft music instead of hot people having sex in ways that would reasonably make any of the women participants orgasm.” — Fiona, 28
12. “ Amateur blowjob porn . I like the authentic enthusiasm of it—you have to be excited about BJs to film yourself getting or giving one. I also really like the sounds (if the receiver moans, talks dirty, etc.) because I find they seem more real than what you’ll typically hear in mainstream, produced porn. In my IRL sex life, I love both giving and receiving oral sex, so it turns me on a lot to see that represented in a way that feels real and even sometimes romantic.” — Kate, 27
13. “As a teenager, I definitely read a lot of smut on Wattpad or found decent porn blogs on Tumblr. There was lots of nonaggressive content created by women, which was amazing. Since Tumblr banned porn, I don’t really watch it as much. If I do, it’s usually a video of someone using a vibrator/another toy on someone else because it’s just slightly less fake than a man jackhammering some poor woman while she moans super dramatically.” — Kennedy, 20
14. “In terms of reading porn, I like all types and read a lot of the BDSM type. Some/most of it may be fanfic/self-insert because I have to have some sort of personal connection to the character to get into it. However, for watching, I’m only comfortable with romantic or affectionate-looking porn. I don’t want to see anything that even looks violent, even if there was consent . ” — Lauren, 24
12. “My go-to genre changes often. I’m currently into girls making out ...but nothing more than a li’l groping. I enjoy the simplicity of being with a woman because of how low-pressure and easygoing it can feel. Kissing can just get you there sometimes. But then some periods, I prefer big, burly, hairy men pleasuring and/or submitting themselves because it makes me feel like I’m seeing it from their perspective and I am them.” — Lindsay, 22

We can cast aside the idea that women are clutching their pearls at men’s shameful, disgusting porn habits and are instead watching free tube sites for a “milf lesbian milkshake.” Or whatever sounds good on a plan-free Saturday afternoon.
Studies have found that as many as one in three women watch porn every week. While women are not a monolith—with preferences and opinions on the many, many genres of porn, from BDSM to hentai —research has found there are a few common threads when it comes to their viewing habits.
This may only be a surprise to men who think women only watch porn to learn how to please men.
In survey after survey , women have said they find the female form more erotically pleasing than the male, and of all categories of porn, “lesbian” is the most-watched by women on Pornhub and YouPorn —and likely every other site Google can dredge up. For instance, here are some terms that were searched by women more than by men on YouPorn: “hardcore pussy licking” (ladies searched this 630% more than dudes), “lesbian scissor” (570% more), “lesbian threesome” (351% more), and “lesbian orgy” (295% more).
The Daily Dot previously set out to discover why lesbian porn is so popular , especially among straight women. We found that some just don’t find “’roided-up male actors” attractive, while others were more into “the making out and dry-humping,” instead of the hetero porn that “goes straight to BJs.” You could also say that above all, when there are two women in the frame, the focus is on a woman’s pleasure (i.e., “hardcore pussy licking”)—even if it’s all-too-often still done from the gaze of a male director.
In 2015, Marie Claire conducted a survey of over 3,000 women and found that only 12% said they watch porn with a partner. In other words, women use porn how most people use porn: to get off when they feel like getting off.
“Your relationship to porn is mostly about you—your sexuality, unencumbered by a partner,” the study’s author, Amanda de Cadenet, said about her findings. “Most of our respondents, at least, are using porn to find what they want, and to figure out how to please themselves.”
“Your relationship to porn is mostly about you—your sexuality, unencumbered by a partner.”
American women on average spend about 11 minutes per session on popular free site Pornhub. Men spend about a minute less . The easy explanation for this time difference could be the ol’ stereotype that women take longer to orgasm than men (but this is usually in relation to vaginal sex alone and not what often works faster—stimulating the clitoris). However, my suspicion is that that extra minute might have to do with video selection. Because “lesbian” isn’t a narrow enough category, you gotta whittle it down to “brunette big tits tattoos” or whatever you’re into.
A lot of studies say that women are drawn to porn with a plotline, often suggesting that ladyfolk need narratives and dialogue to get off because, you know, we’re talky or can’t be visually stimulated. While an easy-to-follow story arc wouldn’t necessarily hinder the masturbation process, the idea that women like chatty porn or deep, romantic characters isn’t quite right, either. Some women like rough, hardcore pounding (you know, just like men), and others, as Nikki Gloudeman at Ravishly points out, would just like more porn made with their interests in mind—which could mean porn made by women.
When Gloudeman talked to several female porn directors, many called their work “erotica,” saying that tube sites are made for getting the job done fast. But if you want to enjoy the experience, even build up to it, then that’s where “fuller” characters and plot points can tease out those fantasies. Angie Rowntree, owner and founder of porn-for-women site Sssh.com , says she even gathers feedback to make porn that women will like. “The only real difference between what I do and what producers of ‘typical’ porn do is that I’m serving a different audience, and instead of assuming we know what they want to see, we ask them what they want to see,” she told Ravishly.
Go with what you know, I suppose. Kim Kardashian, star of the most popular sex tape in our country’s history, was the top “female performer” on YouPorn for the three months in 2016 (and that tape was released in 2007). This was followed by former porn star Mia Khalifa , who was in the news for her social media exchanges with athletes, and Sunny Leone , who retired from porn in 2013. In other words, ladies are into the classics.
I’ve heard quite a few female friends say that what they like about strip clubs is watching women “do tricks” that they can’t pull off themselves. Well, it seems the same doesn’t go for porn. A 2014 survey for Cosmopolitan found that only 14% of women like to watch stuff they couldn’t do. Apparently, we’re not there to be amazed or entertained, per se, but to get a job done. Who knew?
The bottom line: Porn for a woman is often nothing more than a means to a satisfying end. You know, the same as it is for men—or anyone else pleasuring themselves.
