Demand for women
Friendly pornography is growing exponentially, according to top streaming sites.
Popular adult website Pornhub recently revealed that female users have increased by 359% since 2016.
The hottest search term last year was "female porn ".
"However, when you also consider male users, search has grown by 1,400% from 2016 to 2017-suggesting that men may be more curious about pleasing their partners.
Could this be a sign that the sexual revolution is breaking out?
Erika Lust is an award-winning porn producer known for creating a unique female image
Led, sex intelligence, movie adult movie.
When it comes to women feeling capable of coming forward and embracing their sexual orientation, she says, she is sure to notice a cultural shift.
"Women are always told how to deal with their bodies and with whom.
Over the years, people have told women that pornography is degrading and we will not and should not be opened by it.
But women are sexual beings, and we can be aroused by sex on the screen like men, "Lust said.
Lust explains that as women gain confidence in sex, interest in exploring pornography is also increasing.
"It still seems like a taboo to say it out loud, but sooner or later we'll all be more outspoken about it!
"I always find that there is power in choosing to watch porn in my own way.
However, the problem is that, in my experience, many of the pornography you often encounter online are not necessarily friendly to women, or even to many women (Including myself).
As lust points out, "due to the nature of the film, many women feel shut down while watching traditional mainstream porn for men and women.
Many of these films show that the female body is born to conquer and be passive to male and male sexual desires.
Male pleasure is the ultimate goal, and the scene usually unfolds through male gaze.
"Female roles are used to satisfy others, not themselves.
No foreplay, no caress, oral sex on a woman is actually notexistent.
They only focus on attacking each other by anatomy, genitals or body parts, "Lust said.
These are why, when it comes to my own porn viewing habits, I'm usually attracted to adult content with girls as the main character.
I'm not alone, obviously.
It is reported that "lesbian" is a popular search term for Pornhub in 2017.
Lust attributed this to lesbian sex scenes focusing on the joy of women.
"Most movies include oral sex and clit stimulation. there are more foreplays and sex toys . . . . . . Basically, everything women often want in sex!
"Women are looking for porn that meets their needs, because many mainstream male/female porn completely ignores their fun on the screen, so they go somewhere else to see it," says Lust.
What should a woman do if she is looking for a sexy woman?
Friendly porn?
Desire encourages people to explore independent adult films.
"Don't be delayed by the many mainstream content you see on the free site.
Over the past few years, more and more female directors have tried to change the industry from within, to create artistic and realistic films that positively reflect women's sexuality, she said.
I can guarantee that.
I watched Erika Lust's porn for the first time and it felt like I found the holy grail of adult movies.
With high output value (
Think of gorgeous European apartments instead of the ubiquitous leather sofa in San Fernando Valley)
The actors of all genders are charming and the scene is full of warm and realistic chemistry.
That's why I agree with desire when she says that explicit movies can be a fun and healthy educational tool.
"Porn can open up your mind about sex and help you discover new desires and fantasies.
It can help you discover your body and how to bring happiness to it and others, "she said.
Not sure what your boat is?
Desire encourages curiosity among us, "take the time to explore porn alone or with a partner.
Adult films presented as themes and sexual collaborators (not objects)
It provides diversity, represents all the different parts of society, allows people to see themselves in these films and open their minds.
