Women, so far, don’t seem to suffer too much from such side effects. When you actually look at the porn that’s popular with women you see why: They mostly have a porn experience that is gluten-free, organic, female-friendly, porn with all the toxins taken out.
Studies show that women prefer what is called Femme porn: porn with a feminist sensibility that offers something more than boobs, blowjobs and bonking. In Psychology Today, porn expert Dr Michael Castleman describes an experiment in which Dutch scientists showed 47 women a mixture of Femme porn and standard porn pour l’homme. The standard porn repelled them, but the Femme porn aroused them.
Most of the porn-watching women I know would agree with those findings. ‘It’s not that the kind of porn men watch is repellent — although some of it is,’ a female friend tells me. ‘It’s just too boring to watch.’ There’s the rub: unreal as it may be, porn exposes the difference between men and women.
