Can Porn Really Be Female Friendly?

It’s no secret that most guys watch porn, and have been doing so since they were teenagers. Some women enjoy watching porn too of course, but in general they don’t find it as much of a turn-on as men. However, in recent years, there has been a rise in so-called ‘female-friendly’ porn which is making the genre much more attractive to all genders.

According to Men’s Health, a third of women aged between 18 and 26 now regularly watch ‘porn for women.’  So what does this really mean, and where do you start if you are curious to know more?

The fact is that most mainstream porn objectifies women, is highly phallocentric, and marginalises or fetishizes LGBTQ+ people. The 20-year-old singer Billie Eilish recently spoke out strongly about her experience of watching porn when she was younger. She thought it would help her seem cool, but in reality, she found it to be very damaging.

However, there is now plenty of porn or erotica made by women, for women, which can enhance the enjoyment of sex for all genders. The focus is on mutual pleasure, with more foreplay and erotic chemistry between the couples. The women (and men) tend to have more realistic body shapes, and the sexual positions are more relatable.

It’s now easy to find loads of female friendly porn, and erotic short stories or novels, with a quick internet search. However, it’s also important to look out for porn that has been produced ethically, and this generally isn’t the free stuff you can watch online.

Look out for content producers that can demonstrate the actors are paid fairly, and the directors receive their fair share of commissions. It also means that all the performers have given their consent in advance to everything that happens, and that the sexual health and safety of everyone involved is a top priority.
