Why are straight women more aroused by the female body than the male body (i promise this will at least be interesting)?

There will be a few questions littered across my post, please try answer all that you can. Women seem to be more sexually aroused by the female body, www.indiana.edu/.../...ers_Seto_Blanchard_2007.pdf This study shows that women who identified as straight are more aroused by the female body (if it's to much to read know that a naked women turned on all the women more than a naked man did, same goes for a women masturbating vs a man masturbating). Lesbian p*rn is the most popular genre of p*rn to the female demographic, https://www.pornhub.com/insights/what-women-want/ , so suffice to say a lot of women are more aroused by the female body.

What makes it arousal and not attraction to you?(if it where attraction you wouldn't be straight)

What makes you not want to do anything sexual with women in real life?(if you want to you obviously aren't straight).

Here are a few theories as to why, you can obviously agree or disagree with them and are welcome to add your own.

Women are simply bisexual with a sexual preference for women, but non sexual traits and the fact that women are more emotional with their sexuality makes them pick men for the most part.

Female sexuality is incredibly narcissistic, you impose yourself to other women, you picture yourself as the women in the lesbian p*rn (although imagining yourself being eaten out by other women is very gay, do you imagine it is a man doing it?) i have also heard a lot of women say they are aroused by their own body, this is because women get more aroused from being desired than desiring, so your body must make you feel desired. As in you don't really desire men, you desire to be desired by men, but is narcissism just the cause and bisexuality the effect?

Women get aroused by the sensuality of the act rather than the players (women where slightly aroused by bonobos having sex, while men weren't at all) Do you get aroused by most anything sexual but only use a man to please you?

  • Wait so just because I find my own body pleasurable and don't find a guy ramming his penis into a woman, which by the way looks really painful, arousing.. I'm bisexual? Which by the way I'm not , I have no desire to be with another woman nor do I have any actual feelings for women in that way. As women we are emotional creatures , and it's not really weird for us to think that another girl is really pretty or gorgeous because we are okay enough with our own sexuality to know that it means nothing more than believeing she is just a very gorgeous person. Doesn't mean I want to screw her. This post is very contradictory because it seems like either way I'm somehow bisexual regardless of what I say. I think women are just more concrete in their sexuality. And don't guys desire to be desired by women as well? There are guy narcissists just like there are female narcissists. Don't men picture that they are the guys screwing the really hot girl? p*rn is male driven and I'm not gay just because I don't find something that is for males primarily, arousing. Lesbian p*rn does highlight the needs of the women and that's what we find arousing. We find pleasure in the thought of being pleasures. I personally did in my mind change the women to a man. We more than often picture our bodies sexually and that just means we have confidence. If we find another women's body more physically appealing we probably do imagine we have their bodies and that doesn't make us bisexual , it makes us human. We want something we don't have.

    • This is an analytic approach based of studies and anthropology papers, these ideas aren't even my own. I find the male body (when in shape) more aesthetically pleasing than the female body, but it in no way arouses me, in fact it repulses me in a sexual sense, women however seem to actually be aroused by other women. This isn't about aesthetic appreciation this is about arousal (your examples about women being pretty etc have nothing to do with it) i just want the specifics of my questions answered, i am not trying to insult anyone. I did not call you bisexual, just included the chance that you might be.

    • You generalized & the tone of your whole posts makes it seem like you honestly believe all women are somehow bisexual. But you contradict yourself by literally stating towards the end of your post why we get aroused "women get aroused by the sensuality of the act rather than the players." So obviously watching lesbian p*rn and being aroused by it doesn't make us bisexual. We find pleasure in the thought of being pleasured. Yes we do desired to be loved by men but that doesn't make us narcissistic. Yes we sexualize our own bodies but in a world where we grow up seeing commercials , billboards etc that sexualize women why is it so weird that we than do it ourselves. It's more common to see a women be sexualized than men , so maybe it isn't our own faults that we do this. It's something we grew up seeing. Is it not? Why would it be so abnormal for us then to have these affiliations in our own mind?

    • It isn't social construct, if so gay men would be aroused by women too, but the study shows that they aren't, media and commercial have nothing to do with it. The tree points at the bottom where meant o be independent theories, they can't contradict each other, sorry if i made that unclear. i would be grateful if you answered the more simple questions , What makes it arousal and not attraction to you?(if it where attraction you wouldn't be straight) What makes you not want to do anything sexual with women in real life?(if you want to you obviously aren't straight).

  • I think in some ways it's easier to be attracted to another woman because we're constantly told to compare ourselves to other women. So we're allowed to take note of all sorts of things that make other women pretty and attractive. Whereas with men we're not really allowed to be attracted to a man. He's dangerous and just wants sex and sex is "bad" so.

    I actually read an article about women preferring lesbian p*rn recently! A lot of the women they interviewed said they liked lesbian p*rn better because it's made for the female viewer instead of the male viewer like most p*rn is. The women get to look like they're actually enjoying themselves instead of just moaning as a dude saws away at her vagina. It usually looks painful and uncomfortable so mainstream p*rn isn't as fun for us as it could be.

    I kind if find it insulting for you to say that just wanting to receive even part of the validation that my pleasure is important is narsacisstic. Then you try to tell me what my sexuality is while simulantiously reducing the challenges of bisexual people. Shouldn't I be allowed to be aroused by my own body and enjoy it because it's mine? I don't think most women use men. We value our partners and they value us.

    Please stop trying to reduce female sexuality. We have as much a right and drive to enjoy sex as men do.

    • I didn't mean use men in a negative light, and very well but don't claim to be straight then! you seem to be bringing up things that are not even part of what i am saying, this is an analytic approach, ther is obviously the a difference between sexuality between sexes and there obviously has to be a reason, i am just trying to find out that reason. Please try answer my simple ones What makes it arousal and not attraction to you?(if it where attraction you wouldn't be straight) What makes you not want to do anything sexual with women in real life?(if you want to you obviously aren't straight).

    • Dude you don't know what my sexuality is and it has zero bearing on this argument. It sounds like you clearly have a lot of issues about your own sexuality since you keep trying to foist them off in others though. That's pretty unhealthy. There are lots of professionals that can help you come to a better understanding. Maybe it would benefit you to make an appointment. I already answered your questions but I guess you're too busy getting angry at the idea that I might not be straight to understand them. I guess I can try using smaller words for you. You can look at another woman and understand that wow she's really gorgeous but she's not a guy so you're not into sex with her. It's like going to a museum and thinking a piece of art is beautiful but you don't want have sex with a sculpture. Other women are beautiful to me but they're not attractive to me the way men are. I'll say wow your hair looks really great but I don't want to have sex with another woman.

    • You are the one that got angry initially, this is an analytic approach based of studies and anthropology papers, these ideas aren't even my own. I find the male body (when in shape) more aesthetically pleasing than the female body, but it in no way arouses me, in fact it repulses me in a sexual sense, women however seem to actually be aroused by other women. This isn't about aesthetic appreciation this is about arousal,(like your museum example) i just want the specifics of my questions answered, which you haven't done, i am not trying to insult anyone.

  • The only reason why women can't get aroused by the sight of a random penis is because we mostly require love and intimacy to desire sex. That's just how we work. I find the male body FAR more arousing than the female body if it's on the man I'm with. If it's just a random naked guy that I have no feelings for then yup... major turn off. So it's not like we are more aroused by females than males. To the contrary we will be far far more aroused by the man we love than any female body assuming we are straight.

    As for lesbian p*rn , I can imagine it's hot for some because the focus might be on areas such as oral or boobs which often get neglected (I think) in hardcore guy on girl p*rn ... there it's all about blowjobs and intercourse. Women often need more stimulation and that's why I imagine they get more turned on by seeing that stimulation visually. A lot of p*rn is designed for men, there's no way around it. Lesbian p*rn focuses more on the female body and that's what makes it attractive and enjoyable to look at for SOME women.

    I'm definitely not bisexual, have never desired sex with another female and yes, I will find my body sexy. I'm female and we get sexualized on a daily basis so how am I not supposed to see my body as just what it gets portrayed as constantly!

    • Women are simply bisexual with a sexual preference for women, but non sexual traits and the fact that women are more emotional with their sexuality makes them pick men for the most part. you seem to fit my first theory. you need non gender specific non sexual traits to want sex from a man, that's emotional attraction, not sexual attraction.

    • I don't have a sexual preference for women. I'm not bisexual as I've never desired sex or romance with a female. I absolutely need gender specific traits to want sex from my man. I cannot feel the feelings I feel for men that makes me want them sexually for women. It just doesn't happen nor has ever happened. I need romance from MAN to want sex. I also need attraction for him to want sex. I've never felt either of those for females. So yup... you clearly have no idea what bisexual means.

    • If i go from a very technical standpoint, getting aroused by someone semantically fits sexual attraction, this means any women who gets aroused by other women or lesbian p*rn is technically bisexual, i know exactly what i am talking about, you are attracted a man, not men.

  • Imagine -if you will- if the only p*rn that existed was about men in PAIN for the sexual pleasure of men.

    And then there is also this thing called "Gay Porn" that is literally the ONLY p*rn that focuses on making GUYS feel sexually pleasured.

    Which one do you think you'd watch?

    ... Yaaaah

    Most lesbian p*rn focuses on making two girls feel sexually pleasured. If girls DIDN'T enjoy watching that than... I don't know what to tell you.

    It has nothing to do with "Bisexuality" or women having a "Female Preference"

    • Still very different to male sexuality, a women has to be present in the content for men to be aroused, gay p*rn can't turn on straight men (then they wouldn't be straight)

    • Did you not read anything I just wrote? "Imagine -if you will- if the only p*rn that existed was about men in PAIN for the sexual pleasure of women." Would you feel aroused in this case? Sure a woman is THERE. But I just cringe,

    • would certainly get me more aroused than the two hottest men in the world having the most sensual sex

  • I can usually arouse women with a pensive stare, like the one i have in my profile picture. Just need to look deep into their soul and find out what they are up to. There is no female body that could be a good enough substitute for a straight woman than that of my own. And its my charitability which allows me to share this body with the general female population

    • Thank you, kind sir!

  • I didn't read all, plus the link to the study is broken.

    It's just a study babe, it doesn't mean anything. When people reference just one study, it's as though they forget that studies are just for purposes of inference, I. e. what COULD be the case; but, on it's own, it means nothing at all really.

    • IT's scientifically sound and peer reviewed, the chances of it being wrong would be the same as rolling a dice 47 times and hitting a six every time (which is almost impossible) and what about the lesbian p*rn , that's conducted from millions of female viewers. The other link i posted in the update is working

    • That was actually a really interesting read. Anyway, I skimmed through, first of all- it seemed they had a tiny sample size- 91, so that's pretty shit to start with. I skimmed through the background info in the intro... Went straight to female non-specificity. Now what I conclude from that and somewhat from the abstract and discussion... Women aren't specifically turned on by gender, in the same way men are. There is always arousal present, when viewing sexual activity; but men are more aroused for female-male/ female-female activity and straight females just like sexual activity, regardless of gender. They were even aroused by bonobo sex, so... Lol. Yeah, that was an interesting read. Not much background info, in support of your view/ question. But, I didn't read too thoroughly, to be fair.

    • And don't throw "scientifically sound" around. That means nothing to me, lol. Shit always changes, including theories that were once "scientifically sound". Things get disproven. They're all theories at the end of the day.

  • You, sir, are extremely insecure.

    • You will find anthropology papers saying the exact same things, this is an analytic approach trying to find out the reasons behind traits in female sexuality (but yes i am insecure)

    • In my opinion, you should not let these papers concern you. Women value emotional attachment more than we will ever care about physical attractiveness. The vast majority of women are straight and attracted to MEN. Including me I'm not interested in women whatsoever.

    • But are you sexually attracted to women, emotional attraction means nothing towards sexual orientation

  • and that's why some guys believe "all women are lesbians actually"

    hmmmmm what on earth..

  • I'm not more aroused by the female body, I'm definitely more aroused by the male form but what fascinates me is what other women can do and it's more a case of finding out if I can do that too.

  • Lmfao at your sources for this information looool... No wonder.

  • Whatever, playboy did a study that showed straight women were much more aroused by attractive men than attractive women. They also said that the majority of people were at least a little gay. Why do you like looking at penis in p*rn?

    • link to that study please

    • www.playboytv.com/.../
      It's a video.

    • Still pretty much says that women where bisexual, and blood pressure was only increased during the female lapdance, showing they where more aroused by the women, "straight women were much more aroused by attractive men than attractive women" where did you get that from

  • Girls are usually interested in les p*rn because the guys in p*rn are creepy looking as fuck. Plus it looks a lot nicer than regular p*rn .

    • HOW IN THE FUCK WOULD THAT MEAN THEY ARE STRAIGHT? IT MAKES THEN SOUND FAR CLOSER TO BEING LESBIAN THAN STRAIGHT.

    • lesbian

  • Ok, I'm not at all attracted to women.
    Lesbian p*rn doesn't turn me on.
    Penises do turn me on.
    But yes I like my body, becauae it is hot.

    I know many women watch lesbian p*rn? nut they are not lesbian. I watch gangbang p*rn with 4 men, but I would not like to have it in real life.

  • Because most women are part lesbian.

  • I don't understand the question

    • There are about 5 questions

    • Women are hotter ... Men don't try at all... you can't get hard to an average guy right? women aren't weird robots... we have eyes and can see what is attraactive too... you make it too complicated

    • So you are saying women are all bisexual and in fact leaning towards homosexuality, there is a huge difference between aesthetic appreciation and arousal, i think that a male body (when in shape) is more aesthetically pleasing than the female one, but i am not aroused by men, in fact i am repulsed by the male body in a sexual sense. "you can't get hard to an average guy right?" i can't get hard to the hottest guy on earth i am straight. You seemingly don't understand anything about what i am asking though, and it isn't complicated.
