Why are women literally more aroused by other women than men?

[Anonymous]

Go look at any statistics for porn and what women watch, lesbian porn always comes on top by a far way, women consume more lesbian porn than men, and if it gets broken down it gets even more scary https://www.pornhub.com/insights/women-gender-demographics-searches , i refuse to accept any women who gets more aroused by women having sex than anything invloving men as anything close to straight. They will say "but i am turned on by what is happening to the women, i am not attracted to her", well that is the same arousal pattern as straight men, being turned on by what is happeining to the women. It is a indiscriminate nature towards arousal that can't be posseded by someone hetrosexual.

Because I am a lazy bum I just copy-paste what I have written in a different, similar thread: www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1700530-how-do-you-make-sure-you-re-straight-when-you-never-try-the-same

It is more difficult for girls to figure out their sexuality though. For us guys sexuality is a bit easier and simpler.

First of all a girls sexuality is a lot more fluid than of guys - mainly because they operate sexuality differently. A while ago a female sex-researcher had a study about arousal levels of images. Turns out women even got physical sexual reactions by apes doing it while men usually only got reactions by their said preference.

That is because men are mostly only physically attracted by visuals. It shows what they need to know: Health, Fertility, Youth.
For women it is a lot more complex though and has a lot of soft parameters which come into play instead of a handful of key ones. For example statistics show that women are more likely to have bisexual experiences and more likely to shift their sexual attraction within their lifes than men are.

Additionally women perceive sexuality and sexual cues differently. Something the porn-industry knew for quite a while already. To make it simple: Men usually watch porn, women read porn.
Why the difference? Let's explain how men and women perceive porn: Men replace the male actor in porn in their fantasies. That's why most porn is shot in a PoV. Women on the other hand emphatise with the actress and what she probably feels and gets a reaction out of it. That emphasis obviously makes reading porn a lot more appealing to women than it does to men.

And this is also why you enjoy to see the women in porn. You emphatise yourself in her position and how she would feel. This is most likely where your attraction stems from.
In a way it is also a narcisstic appeal as thinking of a girls shape which isn't a specific girl is pretty much thinking of yourself in your ideal shape. Things change of course, if you are sexually attracted to (a) specific girl (s). If it is just a faint image of a girls-body it is just yourself projecting your own self.

Note: Exceptions prove the rule.

Note 2: Stop using literally in literally every second sentence. It's literally annoying. Literally !

[fuuuark]

By saying it is fluid, you are saying that by definition they aren't heterosexual

[fuuuark]

so you agree with the asker, you are just saying why you agree

[fuuuark]

Playboy once did a test where women where aroused by a lap dance by both male and female strippers, while men where only aroused by female strippers. no matter how you cut it, they aren't heterosexual, i know all about Meredith Chivers tests you briefly went over, here is the conclusionary sentence "The results of the present study add to a growing body of research on the greater flexibility of women’s sexuality with regard to sexual identity, same-sex attraction, and same-sex behavior" so they say that women aren't heterosexual they refer to them as ostensibly straight.

[FakeName123]

I simply explained that the physical attraction for women is different and that a womans sexuality is fluid. That does not mean all women are by nature bisexual. In the end the majority of women will go back to men, because aside from any sexual appeal in a womans body - men have a lot more things to offer than any woman can. Women need men and men need women. Simple as that. You and OP are making it way too black and white, but it is not that simple.

[fuuuark]

You are confusing preference and orientation, "because aside from any sexual appeal in a woman's body" yeah you are agreeing with me, you do know by definition being biSEXUAL only deals with sexual attraction right? those things men have to offer over other women are generally non sexual, and thus has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

[fuuuark]

You are ignoring basic semantics

[FakeName123]

@fuuuark I am not ignoring basic semantics nor am I confusing preference and orientation. What you are doing here is equating a womens sexuality to mens (your own) sexuality. Here is a beginners guide: When men have an erection they are usually physically and mentally aroused. Women aren't. Women require to have an interplay between their physical and mental reaction. Thus just because women do have physical reaction, doesn't necessarily mean they are sexually interested nor attracted. Sexual appeal in a womans body =/= Sexual attraction.

[fuuuark]

Sexual attraction doesn't have a clearly defined definition, but the fact that women get aroused by a lap dance by other women while men don't? how can you say no sexual attraction is evident? and what of the anecdotal? how many girls do you know that want to experiment? how many girls make out with each other? would be willing to go down on another girl during a threesome? a women once posing as a man went out with women, then revealed herself as a women, and these women who said they where straight, still wanted to date her. You yourself say it is fluid, which means it can't be heterosexual! i have a bss in anthro and cog science (shit degree, but probably the most relevant to this topic, and the conses at universities is that women aren't straight).

[fuuuark]

That last part shouldn't have been in brackets

[Anonymous]

I guess ill post this again. Lol at anyone who believes women are heterosexual, they are all bisexual, they consume 2.5 times as much lesbian porn as guys and it's is by far the most popular genre of porn to the female demographic (pornhub statistics, like you posted). "straight" women are also literally more aroused by the female body than the male body, indiana. edu/.../Chivers_Seto_Blanchard_2007. pdf (read that, it's scientifically sound proof). Playboy once did a test where women where aroused by a lap dance by both male and female strippers, while men where only aroused by female strippers.

Most women will make out with other girls after minimal alcohol, and will be willing to do sexual things to another girl during an ffm threesome.
Normally the thing that makes a girl want to have sex with a guy will be non physical, non gender specific traits and will need these non gender specific traits to feel sexual attraction to them in the first place.

Female sexuality is fluid while men have a hard wired sexual orientation. Anthropologists say women don't actually have a sexual orientation, just an amorphous mess based off sexual narcissistic self affirmation. Women are pretty much closer to being lesbians than straight.

[Asker]

Shit i wish i where gay, so then i wouldn't have to deal with this shit

[animeFreak]

It's not about who's in the porn, it's about the sensuality. Straight porn focuses on men's needs/wants/etc. Blowjobs, poundings, and extremely painful looking sex. Lesbian porn focuses on women's pleasure, soft and sensual looking. Overall, women just want to watch something that would mean pleasure for them, not pain.

[Asker]

Having a sexuality that narcissistic in no way makes you straight, women are still literally more aroused by tits and vagina than the male body, fuck that is crap for men

[animeFreak]

I have never seen any studies showing that women are more attracted to women then men. If they were, they would be dating women, not men. However, in porn, women like to see their needs be met, by young, attractive people, not some old, ugly geezer with the biggest dick. In fact, most women don't want dicks the size of porno dicks. It seems painful. Its also been shown in studies that women are more aroused by sensual acts and positions than by the people doing those acts. That is just how women's sexuality usually works.

[Bards]

Basically. Although I don't enjoy lesbian porn. This is basically the point of why many straight women watch it.

[Asker]

Not said by me, some anon guy who answered below wrote it

[Bards]

Give up on this ma'am. Crazy people everywhere.

[Asker]

What's crazy about it? it seems pretty legit, women chose men as a preference (not orientation) for mostly non sexual reasons (which by definition has nothing to do with sexual orientation)

[fuuuark]

The amorphous nature of their arousal is what makes female sexuality fluid, thus not heterosexual

[QuestionsEverywhere]

I'm assuming those women are aroused by the sex acts, not the people in it. I can't speak because I'm a lesbian, but I actually prefer gay porn over lesbian porn. It's more realistic.

[Asker]

You are bisexual, remember who you want to date, romantic attraction etc. has nothing to do with sexual orientation, you have a fluid arousal pattern that can't be possessed by anyone strictly heterosexual.

[QuestionsEverywhere]

I'm not talking about who I want to date. I just have don't have the desire to have sex with a man. "you have a fluid arousal pattern that can't be possessed by anyone strictly heterosexual" I never said I was strictly heterosexual. What part of "I'm not a lesbian" don't you get?

[QuestionsEverywhere]

I am* a lesbian

[Asker]

But you are aroused by two men having sex, so you have a fluid arousal pattern that can't be possessed by anyone strictly homosexual or heterosexual.

[Anonymous]

Why not? Hetero porn is all about the man getting his pleasure in the most brutal way possible while lesbian sex is mutual pleasure and far more sensual.

[Asker]

That in no way means they are straight

[Opinion Owner]

I didn't say I was ;)

[Asker]

There is no such thing as a heterosexual women.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't know about all women, I'm gay however.

[gray_sailor]

The woman imagines she IS the woman onscreen.

The man imagines he's DOING the woman onscreen.

Can't believe you got tripped up by this very simple thing. Somebody's looking for something to bitch about.

[fuuuark]

indiana.edu/.../Chivers_Seto_Blanchard_2007.pdf even the top anthropologists say women aren't really straight

[fuuuark]

In that study the women where aroused by a naked women while no sexual act was present, in fact it was chosen specifically to be non sexual, but women where aroused, when they saw a naked man they weren't aroused at all.

[fuuuark]

Playboy once did a test where women where aroused by a lap dance by both male and female strippers, while men where only aroused by female strippers.

[justbanANNAz]

#generalisation265 using porn hub as ur source for this is a little weak dont u think? lol.

[Asker]

look on this sight of you want, and see how many "straight" girls most prefer to masturbate to other women.

[Asker]

*If you want

[Ulyss]

Women have way more attractive bodies and sex organs

[Asker]

so you agree women are bisexual and closer to being lesbians then?

[Ulyss]

Depends there needs to be more research done but I think I can safely assume most women have more gay fantasies than men I've not met a straight guy that wants to be drilled by a thick dick

[letsbefriends25]

Women are pretty creatures.

[Asker]

so you agree women are bisexual and closer to being lesbian than straight, fuck thats horrible

[letsbefriends25]

I don't get turned on by guys in pornos because they don't seem sensual at all. To them its just a rough fuck. I guess I like the softer aspects of women fucking. But to each her own.

[Asker]

You sound closer to being lesbian than straight, you can't possibly think you are heterosexual, you aren't

[letsbefriends25]

haha no i'm undeniably bisexual and enjoy male sexual partners in real life.

[Asker]

At least you admit it

[Asker]

sorry this was meant foe someone else, just ignore it

[Asker]

*for

[letsbefriends25]

Just because people are bisexual doesn't mean they will be attracted to less people. they are just attracted to more people. I'm attracted to people who I would be attracted to if I was straight and people who I would be attracted to if I was lesbian.

[cinderelli]

lesbo stuff does nothing for me.

[Asker]

Why down-vote her for not being bisexual like the rest

[cinderelli]

Yeah man.. where did all that freedom shit go.. I didn't down vote anyone.. then why me. Not fair... not fair at all...

[Bards]

More unbelievable hoofbeast shit.

[Asker]

What, women are more aroused by tits and vag than men, that isn't straight to me , not by a long shot

[Bards]

I can not with some of you guys on g@g

[Asker]

but what i said is true, and you think they are straight? pffft not at all

[Bards]

I'm so thankful I don't actually know anyone who thinks like this. I am truly blessed.

[Asker]

What. it is a fact that women are more aroused by the female body than the male body, people don't think that, they know that

[Anonymous]

lesbian porn is a lot less intimidating and aggressive then straight porn, it focuses on the female body and pleasure way more than straight porn does.

[Asker]

That in no way means they are straight

[Opinion Owner]

that in no way means they are lesbians...

[Asker]

No, but it means they aren't heterosexual (bisexual or pansexual), it's a fluid arousal pattern that can't be possessed by anyone strictly heterosexual.

[Anonymous]

Because lots of young women are very confused about their sexualities but they deny it.

An openly heterosexual woman would not watch lesbian porn.

[Anonymous]

You're seriously butthurt because women get turned on more from lesbian porn than male porn? HAHAHAHA that's funny

[Asker]

Would you like it if you boyfriend was more aroused by other men than you?

[Opinion Owner]

I'll dump him because he's gay and obviously gay men shouldn't date women and vise versa

[Asker]

So you are saying women are bisexual then with a sexual prefernce for women (as you said he is gay for being aroused by other men), since they are more aroused by other women, all tests say so.

[Opinion Owner]

No. Only lesbians and bisexuals women are attracted to women sexually. (I'm only referring to women)

[Asker]

But women get more aroused by other women (porn is the most popular genre to women , indiana.edu/.../Chivers_Seto_Blanchard_2007.pdf , that's scientific proof that "straight" women are more aroused by other women). You said the guy would be gay if he where more aroused by other men than you, so if women are more aroused y other women, are you saying most women are lesbians?

[Opinion Owner]

My point was not all women get sexually turned on more by women

[Asker]

maybe not all but it seems like most are

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe, maybe not. Some women deny it so we'll never know for sure

[Anonymous]

Why are you scared of it? Personally I don't give a fuck about what type of porn people watch unless it's illegal.

[Asker]

You aren't scared that women are pretty much more attracted to other women

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not insecure about what other people do with their spare time.

[Asker]

Spare time? it an all consuming orientation that will influence almost everything.

[Opinion Owner]

Mm, watching porn doesn't really indicate too much about a person. Porn does not make a person straight or gay, as many women have explained here it's usually about the roughness of the average porno. Hence why many women watch lesbian porn or porn for women. Also I wouldn't care if a person I was in a relationship with was bisexual because they'll find other guys attractive if they're straight, the fact that other people are attractive should not make ones partner insecure.

[Asker]

What you jerk off to certainly does show your sexual orientation

[Asker]

Read the anon guys post

[Opinion Owner]

Well I do believe that a lot women are probably partly leaning towards bisexual but I would say the same about men, as I think the Kinsley Scale more accurately represents sexuality than a simple black-grey-white answer.

[Opinion Owner]

So I do agree it's something to be looked into but it doesn't worry me in the slightest because why should it?
