Makes you think dosen't it. That's why I posted this.intheweeds said:The curious part of this data so far for me is that both lesbians and bisexuals are both split about 50/50 in like/dislike, but straight is weighted very heavily toward dislike. It makes me want to ask more questions to determine the sexual openness and/or hangups of these groups.
I think that's simply because so much of porn is directed towards the male mind. In layman's terms: boobies. Straight woman are less likely to like this, were as lesbian and bisexuals are.intheweeds said:The curious part of this data so far for me is that both lesbians and bisexuals are both split about 50/50 in like/dislike, but straight is weighted very heavily toward dislike.

That's just my guess, anyways.
Huh. Lesbians are split in half on this issue.
I think that this pretty much sums it up:

Particularly:
"'Our feminism remains with us when we grab the remote," said Tristan Taormino, a sex educator and producer of erotica. "So when there's no women around, it... gives queer women the ability to get swept up in the action of the film without thinking, 'Who is this woman? Is she having a good time? Is she coerced?' With gay porn, for a second, we can go there and not think about politics and sexism... there's something about removing women from the equation that's freeing."
"They're not so much looking at the players in the play, but the roles that they're playing."
Basically? Pure escapism.

According to this cracked article women actually like porn more than guys (it doesn't specify gay porn but i still think it's relevent)

I've thought about this before, I think it's a biological thing that dates back to the early evolutionary days when sex was mostly for procreation (although some evidence suggests that we also did it for recreational and social bonding reasons as well). Monogamy was not inherent in early humans since it didn't really come about until we started our agricultural phase as the roles for men and women were required to become more fixed in early society. Early man would have similar behaviour to most other apes insomuch as they would have sex with multiple partners in order to spread larger amounts of their genetics. With this comes the requirement for territorial rights, so the sight of another male engaging in intercourse with a female that he has become aroused by will trigger a defense response to signify dominance.AnkaraTheFallen said:
Due to the fact that sex was a social and recreational activity in early man, the sight of two women engaging in sexual relations is far less likely to trigger a defense response since the females of our species were predominantly submissive in the social hierarchy, therefore the lack of another male would mean that there is no threat to defend against so the male would be less stressed and more likely to maintain arousal.
So, in today's society, the reason why lesbian pornography is so popular with males is because in girl x guy porn there is another male present (by "another" I mean that the male watching sees the male in the pornography as "another male"), which will lessen our arousal because we are conflicted between being aroused by the female, but not aroused (maybe even subconsciously threatened) by the "other" male which makes it less appealing to watch.
It's also why solo masturbation pornography is popular with males, simply because of the lack of that "other" male.
It's just a little theory of mine, but it makes sense. At least to me it does.
Despite my status as a gay male, I find pretty much all of it attractive in some capacity, even lesbians. Just because I wouldn't want to be a participant doesn't mean I can't appreciate watching people having a good time. I imagine a lot of women (and probably more than a few straight men) feel similarly.
Porn weirds me out. No thank you.
whether breasts, a penis, or a vagina...it's all kinda gross to look at. Gross and awkward. I get more turned on watching people make out than having sex...or flirting.
My friends have tried...I just...I have sex with the lights out for a reason.

pure escapism huh, lol.Aetera said:
obviously it's not so simple and there are a whole bunch of reason, did you read the rest of the article as well because that made more sense.
first of all, lesbian porn is very poorly done. it's either very unattractive or made by men for men and completely boring and fake (like straight porn, but most men don't care/notice, women - and especially gay women - do notice and care).
second can be any number of reasons, but i think the main part is that because it doesn't involve women, it doesn't involve any personal emotions or personalization and thus making it entirely physical (i hope that makes sense).
Oh god, I didn't even realize that that came out as a pun. I'm too tired to be witty, so it was clearly an accident.feauxx said:
Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. Not having to think about any personal involvements or hangups would probably appeal to some, and lesbian porn really is horribly, horribly made. All of it is made for men.
That's what I meant by *facepalms* "escapism." Making it just a physical, no-emotions-or-thoughts-involved thing. Just a, "two people having and enjoying sex! This is a positive thing!" and not, "is that poor girl there by choice? Why does she look like a barbie doll? Those shoes look really uncomfortable. They shouldn't be demeaning her like that!" etc. etc.
I probably make no sense right now, so I'm apologizing in advance. It is almost 10 AM here, and I'm still up. >_>
