Porn for Women, Women's Porn

Women's erotica on the internet has come a long way in the last two years. When I sat down to write an article in 1998 about what sort of porn existed on the net for women, it was a difficult task. I set out to find, firstly, pictures of naked men, but mainly encountered gay sites. Sure, there were plenty of pics of erect penises, but the photos were set up to appeal to gay men. There was a lot of leather, not much romance, and the number of "open bum" shots was rather disconcerting. It seemed that photos of naked straight men with an erect penis were few and far between.

Meanwhile, I encountered the many thousands of mainstream porn sites that catered to men. As usual, they featured hardcore sex, and anal sex, and plenty of bizarre pictures featuring women looking right at the camera. It seemed that no-one knew where the clitoris was. There were few pics of good looking men, since mainstream porn focuses on beautiful women having sex with "average men". More upsetting was the typically misogynist atmosphere of these sites. Women are always sluts and bitches who need a good fucking. I found the shots of cum-covered faces ("facials") particularly upsetting, as these pics focused purely on the power situation of a man degrading a woman. And let's not even begin to talk about the thousands of teen sites. What this says about men's sexuality is not good.

As a woman looking for porn, it was all fairly disheartening.

As it turns out, women LOVE porn. They're starting to flock to it in droves. But they like it to be different from mainstream stuff. They want sites that celebrate sex, that feature foreplay, kissing, cuddling and afterglow, they want to see couples looking into each other's eyes. They want romance. On top of that, they like a sense of community. This is why so many women's erotica sites feature chat rooms and advice columns. On top of that, they want to be informed. So women's sex sites often feature articles on interesting issues, like masturbation, first losing one's virginity, hen's nights, and more.

Paysites for women such as Just for Ladies are slowly growing a strong fan base.

Riding a wave of fascination in celebrity lives, a large number of "nude celebrity" sex sites are popping up. In the wake of this comes True Male Celebs, the only site of it's kind to feature naked, famous men. While the men are eagerly perving on photos of Jennifer Lopez nude, the women are getting in on the act, keen to check out their latest hero in the buff. These sites often feature movie stills of nude scenes, and the quality may not be the best, but it doesn't stop women from paying to see Ricky Martin nude, a naked Brad Pitt, or a nude David Duchovny. Deep down, women are voyeurs, too.

Leading the pack as the most popular women's sex site is Womens Porno. This site was the first women's site to be set up as a pure porn site, as opposed to a pseudo-magazine. It's big on romantic notions, making love and loving couples, while still getting into hardcore sex if need be. The fact that a membership to Women's Porno provides free access to 14 other smut sites for free doesn't damage the bottom line, either.

Women are the largest consumers of sex toys, so it's hardly surprising that adult toy sales on the internet have skyrocketed in the last year. Many adult websites offer sex toys and vibrators, while large online megastores like Bedroom Sports are clocking up big sales.

Meanwhile, adult webmistresses are busy setting up free porn sites which offer small numbers of free pics. The numbers of these freesites are steadily growing. Most offer serious views of sex, however humour does pop up occasionally. Grandma Scrotum's Sex Tips is an example of a free site that's happy to look at sex with a smile and a gleam in the eye. Grandma Scrotum offers her own brand of sex advice, which includes "If you're going to play sex games, don't run with scissors!" Clearly, adult sites can be creative, as well as arousing.

Indeed, this is why women's porno is so important. It's a force for social change. Since we'll never get rid of pornography, womens erotica offers the chance to change it, to lift it out of the misogynist gutter and turn it into a celebration of real sex, of real people, and of real relationships. Porn can be redeemed!

If you're interested in checking out a free porn site for women that celebrates sex, visit SexyLiaisons. It features pics of couples having sex in dangerous situations, and real life stories of affairs and illicit love. If you want to see more romantic porn, visit Romantic Couples. And if you want to see the more hardcore side of women's erotica, check out The Cunnilingus Site. Women love oral sex, and there aren't many sites celebrating muff diving, so this is proving to be very popular!

No doubt about it, pornography for women is on the rise, and women should be pleased!
