Despite young lesbian sexual attraction
excluding men, most mainstream lesbian
representation is made for male consumption.
In mainstream porn, the dissonance between
the identity represented onscreen and the
intended audience is interesting to dissect.
After all, straight porn is made for straight men
and gay porn is made for gay men. But mainstream
lesbian porn isn’t made for lesbians.
Young lesbians explain that the unrealistic aspects
of lesbian porn made it a turn off for them.
A common complaint was the lack of sensuality,
the overuse of scissoring, and the common
inclusion of men. Lesbian sexuality is modified
for the male audience in the mainstream porn industry.
