Big, bounce-less, balloon-like tits, cum stained faces, semi convincing
moans and blowjobs are the basic ingredients of modern day porn. The
recipes are created and tweaked in an attempt to appeal and appease
sexual appetites. But is this porn cookery designed with only the male
palette in mind, or is it flavoured enough to satiate even that of a
female?

Over the last twenty years there has been a movement (if you dare call
it such) to promote and produce more female-friendly porn in the
existing billion-dollar industry. Basically women of the 42-24-26
persuasion performing blowjobs for 35 minutes of a 40 minute “film”
offended some women, or better yet failed to arouse them. The result is
the emergence of a number of websites and production companies aimed at
producing porn for females.

First up is the definitive porn for women network at
www.pornforwomen.net which professes that “It is here to help women
find the porn they are looking for”, because “Women can be the Madonna
and the whore at the same time”. Oh come on! I don’t know many Madonnas
lurking around major urban centres like London but I do know me so
whores- no hos, and they aint trying to be Madonnas. The site lists
“everything” a woman needs to know about cyber porn including a list of
suitable sites.

Amongst the newly added sites is www.female-fantasies.com. As if! As a
woman I can tell you one thing about our gender- we are as diverse and
complicated as they come. There can be no one website, book, song,
whatever that narrows down our fantasies. This website erroneously does
that by offering The Bondage fantasy, bisexual Fantasy, Slave Fantasy,
Queen Fantasy, Lesbian Fantasy, and Massage Fantasy as the top
choices.  It goes on to include “Slave of the Amazons fantasy”,
“The Examination”, “Elysian Field” and the insulting “Kissing Frogs
Fantasy”. Hello! These are the stupid fantasies played out in
mainstream “male oriented” porns anyway. As for the “Kissing Frogs”, a
large percentage of realists are women and we don’t all subscribe to
the Prince charming, knight in shining armour school of thought.

A similar website, www.pornforwomen.biz, includes in their list
www.purecunnilingus.com . This site offers pics of ….you guessed it….
“Plus muff diving stories, clit licking films, pussy licking songs,
fascinating clamjob facts and heaps more”. Don’t they know women are
always complaining about needing variety in bed? How is this website
catering to the indiscriminate “needs” of the female exactly? Don’t get
me wrong, a good swirl down the alley is fine once in a while, but
there is much more to be had.

None of the other so-called “porn for women” websites lived up to its
claims either. Not www.sexsites4women nor www.sssh.com nor
www.forthegirls.com nor www.dicksdicksdicks.com. Believe me I’ve tested
them out on the other females in my life and none of them were
titillated by anything they had to offer either. In fact most preferred
the traditional porn sites with all their male-focused,
female-point-of-view-lacking smut.

One woman who battles with the anti-porn lobbyists, while waving the
porn for female flag, is the legendary Nina Hartley. Hartley has been
around since the 1980s and appears in an estimated 475 adult films. In
fact, she was in the first porno I ever saw- being a child of the 80s
and all. Hartley is a walking beacon for females in the porn industry.
She graduated magna cum laude (no puns intended) with a BSC, is a
registered nurse, and a self-made woman. Her production company
produces sex education films and standard pornos aimed at pleasing
women, and even an information video for would-be porn actresses.
Titles include “Nina Hartley’s guide to Anal Sex”, “Nina Hartley’s
Guide to Alternative sex”, “ Nina Hartley’s Guide to Better
Cunnilingus”, and “Nina Hartley’s Guide to Better Fellatio”. Judging by
the extent of her production pieces, Nina is one pornster who knows
that most women enjoy every different aspects of pornography.

Internet porn has liberated women by giving them a space to explore and
enjoy pornography with a greater sense of anonymity. There is even a
statistic that shows that 30% of porn surfers are women. On one hand
you get some feminists saying this signifies a need for porn made for
women, by women. On the other hand you get anti-porn feminists saying
this merely shows women mimicking male behaviour, and being devoid of
any genuine interest in porn.

Closer to home, a quick survey of women and men on Oxford Street produced random and varying responses on this topic.

Question:
What do you think about women and porn? What do women want from porn?

Answers:
     
(F) “Women want more pornos with a storyline”
(M) “They want more story line in the films, less f*^%ing”

(F) “We want more length “ cackling, more cackling, “I mean they should have longer movies”
(M) “ They don’t want to see real life in these films”

(F)“ The men should be doing more of the work in these movies”
(M) “ Women want an illusion all the time”

(F) “ Females should have more screen time”
(M) “They hate that the women are skinnier than them but I read
somewhere that skinnier girls help the man look bigger. That’s why they
have all them skinny girls in pornos.”

(F) “ We want no dyed hair, big breasted girls looking like whores in them”
(M) “ Aaaw… what do birds know about pornos?  They aint got no business watching em”.

(F) “Women don’t really want porn” Pause “They don’t have any sex drive- not enough testosterone”
(M) “ Women shouldn’t be watching porno. That’s a man’s job”. “You shouldn’t be asking people about this love”

(F) “I just don’t think it’s for women…watching porn has to do with your morals and values”
(M) “ There’s a stigma about women buying pornos. They get so embarrassed if they have to”

The fact of the matter is a majority of women enjoy porn whether it’s
female oriented or not. If the master chefs of the porn industry just
whip up a big batch of sex stew with julienne blowjobs, grated
gangbangs, and caramelised cunnilingus, us females will take a bowl or
a spoonful, enjoy it, then move on.
