Female pleasure is in. Porn for women and masturbation are hot topics. In the 21st century, isn’t it refreshing that we can finally talk freely about these issues?
Porn: The Self-Discovery Journey
Porn can be like a step towards personal sexual evolution, because it allows a woman to explore her body by making her see how natural the desire for self-satisfaction actually is.
As women discovered porn as an incentive to both masturbate and learn how to spice up their sex life, a journey of self-discovery begins.
The more you explore your body, the deeper understanding you get of what floats your boat, and what turns you on. Naturally, this gives you more confidence in the bedroom, because every human being that knows what they want is one step closer to actually getting it.
Porn for Women: Paving the Way to Pleasure
To better understand the importance of the role feminist porn played on shaping women’s minds towards accepting masturbation as being natural, let’s take a look into the who, how, and what.
In short, feminist porn is made by women, under the principles of female pleasure, and adapting to a woman’s desires. Feminist porn was born to break the patterns of what men believe is sexy in adult movies, and looks to represent what women like for a change.
Some people would disagree by saying that porn is, by default, degrading to all women. To these people, we ask why? Sex has always been a physical necessity for both men and women, so assuming than men are the only ones with sexual drive and desire is wrong, and plain right taboo.
What Women Want
Angie Rowntree, founder and film director of Sssh.com, has been in the female focused porn industry for quite some time, and has shared her insights and discoveries with the world. Twenty years ago, when this whole subject was still making everyone blush, visiting a website that made them feel sleazy or uncomfortable was frowned upon.
As time passed, women began to focus more on the content, as they discovered that porn can be educational, and can help them improve their sex life. Interestingly enough, women’s mindsets have shifted quite a lot since then: from looking to please their partner, to aiming towards self-pleasure and discovery.
Another interesting fact is how women have become more in to BDSM in the past few years. Could this achievement really be attributed to how “Fifty Shades of Grey” portrayed the erotic story of a woman in love? Or could it be that women are now way more comfortable in exploring their bodies and their sexual options?
Of course, there’s the end question that people keep asking: what do women want? First off, women have varied tastes in sex, just like men. But if we were to answer that question as precisely as possible: women want porn, from a woman’s perspective. They’re looking for authentic sex, one where female pleasure matters.
From Zero to Climax
What’s interesting about Angie Rowntree and her two-decade old project with Sssh.com is that she never built a business on presumptions. From the first minute, she understood that women are all different, so the things that she liked might not be that appealing to women all over the globe. So, she did the smartest thing an entrepreneur would do: she asked the people what they wanted. Angie listened and connected with her audience and used the information to provide inspirational films and stories. She crowd-sourced her movies and content.
As several studies have shown, many women love story lines. And porn makes no exception. A study of female pleasure that has been 20 years in the making, with 30,000 people participating in the survey (80% women and 20% male), Sssh.com found that women’s tastes have evolved, just as their receptivity to porn and talking openly about their sexual desires have.
Whatever your pleasure principle is, porn and masturbation can help close the orgasm gap. So, tune in and turn on…yourself!
