If you’re not, surely one of your girlfriends is. Not only are women reading erotica, we are also browsing through erotic images, and watching porn. Yes, I said porn. According to Nielson/Net Ratings in the first three months of 2007 approximately one in three visitors to online adult entertainment websites was a woman. At that same time, almost 13 million women in the US were watching porn online at least once a month. According to other studies that number is on the rise. The porn industry has been a male dominated business for a long time, but now the tide is shifting and women are beginning to market to other women in ways that haven’t been done before. There are websites especially devoted to creating erotica, imagery, and porn exclusively for women. Hooray!!
Why? Women respond physiologically to erotic imagery or porn in much the same way as men. What?? Yes. Scientists are beginning to provide data that supports this. Our bodies will respond to graphic images of sex but, even after admitting to being turned on by the images, many women were turned off mentally by the fact that there was no fondling, kissing or flirting in traditional porn. Of course this is not true for all women. Some women are just as turned on as men are by graphic images of sex, but a growing number of women are interested in reading erotica for women and watching porn for women, made by women. A great example of this is the author Zane. Zane captured our attention when she began writing erotic short stories for women in her spare time. Then she wrote novels and now she has parlayed her success into a series on Showtime entitled Zane’s Sex Chronicles” Whew! Hot, hot, hot.
Let’s take a minute here and thank the feminists of the 60′s and 70′s for refusing to conform to society’s limited view of women’s sexuality. Thanks ladies! For a long time it was believed that women didn’t like or even enjoy sex, that we endured it as part of our marital duties to our husbands. I’m sure that even then, there were women who not only liked sex, but rather enjoyed it very much. Getting turned on is different for everybody, but if you enjoy erotica for women, nude pictures of hot men, or porn, there are many websites that have exactly what you’re looking for, and the coolest thing is that most of the content was created with you in mind. Have at it!!
