Hey everyone, I am a girl and I watch porn on a daily basis... !!!
I know it is kind of shocking, right? Did you just fall right out of your chair?
It’s not something you hear everyday. Not because it’s uncommon for women to watch porn, but because for some reason its just another one of those “taboo” subjects that go unspoken. WHY? Why is it so culturally acceptable and expected for men to watch porn but not women? Is it just me? Maybe it’s just the friends I’ve made in life, but it really seems to me that for women, watching porn is a very private, secret thing. I also feel like maybe men are a little bit in the dark. Do men really not know women watch porn? And if they do, why is porn such a taboo subject? Are people ashamed? Let me ask you something – do any of you readers think worse of me because I watch porn? The answer should be no. If you answered yes, we need to talk…
Before I get any further into this, I would like to clarify that I am talking about consensual, adult porn only. I do not in any way endorse child pornography or videos filmed without the participants knowledge and consent. (Although I really hope you already knew that).
No one should be ashamed to watch porn! My film nerd side is going to slip out here and throw some film terminology at you. In the “biz” there’s a little concept called voyeurism, which is the idea that we as humans enjoy and gain pleasure from watching other humans, specifically in intimate situations. This is a natural phenomenon. It is completely normal to be aroused by watching other people. That is the basis of the porn industry. And guess what? This fact of life isn’t affected by sex, gender, sexual orientation or sexual experience.
There are so many benefits to watching porn. First of all, it is extremely low risk. It is physically impossible for you to become pregnant or to catch an STD by watching porn. It allows you to become more comfortable with yourself and your sexuality on your own terms. Watching porn can help you discover what you are most attracted to, but also what you are uncomfortable with. Another plus is that it is so easily accessible. You are all reading this on the internet right now, you are only one Google search away from endless free pornography. In my opinion, watching porn is a completely normal, safe part of any healthy sex life.
Thank you ... !!!
