Women who watch gay porn

You know how tons of straight men enjoy watching lesbian porn and nobody bats an eye? Especially when the much easier and more dramatic queer male narrative is right there.

So you find reading about two guys hot, do you think this is different from a man finding girl-on-girl action hot?
Well in essence I don’t think it is, but the latter comes from a long tradition of using female sexuality and appropriating it for men.

Cate: I find the situational context more believable. With male pairings I knew both characters could have agency without it being historically inaccurate. As I have gotten older, this knowledge has become inextricable from the porn-watching experience.

And what is it that you like about guy on guy porn?
I am very queer and feel like queer male sex is some of the queerest porn available because there are more genuinely queer male performers than female in the industry.

Straight porn is very much focused on the women, and a bonus of gay porn is that they show men being attractive, as opposed to them just being a means to an end.

Cory: I think gay men (or at least gay male porn stars) have a really powerful way of communicating with their bodies on camera.

But what is a little surprising is that that women are watching gay porn, too.

What’s so sexy about it all is that it feels intimate to me.

It makes it more taboo and exciting to watch because it’s so separate from anything I’ve ever experienced.

Do you think the way you watch guy-on-guy porn is at all similar to how a straight guy might consume girl-on-girl porn?
No I don’t think so. Queer female relationships were never explicitly illegal in this country or America, likely because we have always been heavily sexualized and not seen as as valid, or as revolutionary as male queer relationships.

and you can’t really tell if they’re faking an orgasm,” Kirah explains. There’s nothing masculine about me, I don’t want to be a man, but prostate owners have fun equipment. That's why it comes as no surprise that lesbian porn has consistently dominated PornHub searches for well over a decade.

Melissa: Varies by season, but between weekly to daily depending on how horny I am too.

Gay porn tends to get down to business, and I like that. There definitely are issues with teenage girls using male homosexuality for themselves, but that’s very different than adult men building industries around it.

And do you worry it might be appropriating gay male culture at all?
There’s the potential for that element, but if you continue too far down that path writers wouldn’t be able to write about anything they haven’t experienced!

Lera: The fact that there is no woman being "used" is important. “At first the responses were agreeing with what I said, but after about four hours, they got really nasty,” she tells InsideHook.

“I was really surprised that it blew up because I’d told my best friend that I watch gay [male] porn and she didn’t think much of it,” she explains.

Without meaning to yuck anyone else’s yum, for most women, watching another lady get spermed on doesn’t quite cut it.
