Straight Porn Is Full of ‘Lesbians’
There’s a pornography crisis in the lesbian community.
All the lesbians I asked about their porn preferences
agreed that the genre known as ‘lesbian porn’, long
enjoyed by heterosexual men and widely available on
a variety of websites, doesn’t depict us, nor does
it serve our needs as consumers of porn.
I asked a number of lesbians and bisexual
women what kind of porn they watched.
They had some pretty scathing things to say about
the unrealistic nature of the lesbian-themed offerings.
“Women with extra long fingernails and fried
blonde hair looking bored while idly thumbing
one another’s cunts,” was how one put it,
When asked what sort of porn they did enjoy,
many preferred sex scenes featuring gay men.
Other genres of interest included group sex,
public sex, BDSM or kink, solo male, chubby girls,
pants wetting, and standard heterosexual fare.
An explanation for these diverse tastes in smut
may be hinted at in the research on female arousal.
While men tend to be specialists, becoming aroused
only by videos depicting the objects of their sexual
interest, women display signs of arousal at almost anything.
Does queer pornography, starring and designed
and directed by women who were themselves queer
be any better?
Many dykes subscribe to Suicide Girls which
comes pretty close to genuine lesbian porn.
The name Suicide Girls refers to the idea that
women who deviate from conventional beauty
standards with tattoos, piercings, and brightly
colored hair commit a form of ‘social suicide.’
They feature tattooed women sporting alternative
lifestyle haircuts getting right to business.
I watched the trio of short-haired women begin kissing
before they’d even begun the spankings or brought
out their strap-ons as immediate responses.
The variations in the performers’ body size
and their queerer, less traditionally feminine
presentations (which ranged from punk-rock
femininity to very masculine indeed) was met
