Women Prefer Lesbian and Gay Porn Over the Straight Stuff

According to a new demographic analysis, women who watch porn are interested first in lesbian porn, followed by gay male porn as a close second. Other top picks were the solo male category and hardcore porn, plus oddly, Kim Kardashian. Must be that ass.

"Unsurprisingly, the female friendly stuff comes out on top here, with the 'For Women' category being 193 percent more likely to be searched by a woman than a man. The same goes for the Lesbian category, which, despite ranking as the 6th most popular category for males is still 132 percent more likely to be perused by the ladies," writes Pornhub.

According to Pornhub, lesbian and gay porn are top picks for women, but unsurprisingly, not for men, ranking at seventh overall. Unlike men, women weren't interested in those BBW women, although they did search under the terms "ebony," "big black cock" and "ebony lesbians."

They report that after this, things get "heated pretty quickly" with hardcore, rough sex, double penetration and gangbang showing women to be between 80-100 percent more likely to watch than men.

Women also reportedly searched for porn with teens, MILFs, threesomes and anal. And they were 900 percent more likely than men to search under the terms "eating pussy," "pussy licking" and "lesbian scissoring," which for the last damned time, is not a real thing that real lesbians ever do.

Buzzfeed notes that women are searching for more sensual porn, with HD quality, on sites like X-Art, Erotica X and Dane Jones.

And instead of searching for male porn stars, women are apparently more interested in looking up female stars Kim Kardashian, Mimi Faust from VH1's "Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta," popular porn star Lisa Ann, and German-born porn star Madison Ivy.

The results also showed that women are searching for porn films featuring Miley Cyrus, although none currently exist. Buzzfeed notes, "if she ever did, a lot of women would really want to see it."
