How do women really feel about porn? Traditionally, people think that watching hot movies is men's habit.
However, a recent survey conducted by a British sex toys and lingerie retailer, Ann Summers, produced quite interesting results.
We cannot call them as globally-representative, but it's certainly a fascinating look at how some women view love, sex and pornography.
Check out the five facts which have been gathered:
1. Porn can benefit your relationship, your sex life. Couples who watch porn together at least once a week reported being more committed and sexually satisfied than those who watched porn together less frequently or not at all. Fifty-eight percent of women who watched porn with a partner said that it had a positive effect on their sex life - over half said that it gave them the confidence to ask for what they wanted in bed.
2. The vast majority of women don't consider watching porn to be cheating. A full 93 percent of participants reported that they wouldn't consider their partner unfaithful for watching porn. As it should be.
3. Porn helps women escape and de-stress. Over 85 percent of women reported watching porn as a "fantasy escape". A further 23 percent said it helped them relieve stress - and there's a scientific precedent for that. A study from Carnegie Mellon reports that men who looked at sexy pictures were much less stressed than those who viewed non-sexual images. Subjects who looked at the sexy images also performed 50 percent better on a math test.
4. Women are making their own amateur porn. Forty percent of respondents had made a sex tape with their current partner or an ex. (Of course, given the disturbing rise of revenge porn, it's worth remembering that intimate photographs and videos should be made and shared with caution.)
5. Most of porn-views are 18-24. Fifty-seven percent of respondents who reported enjoying porn solo belong to this age group.
Do you think the results above are accurate?
