Ladies, is there such a thing as 'Girl Porn'?

I've noticed while watching porn both with a partner and on my own I don't really have all that much interest in it. I don't find it disgusting or derogatory or anything that negative. It's kind of like going to a romantic comedy with an all teenage cast; I don't like it because it's not aimed at me.

I've looked around trying to figure out what kind of porn (or porn alternative) would have me in the target demographic. I find that pornographic stories do a lot more for me than videos and pictures. For the most part I don't need anything at all and I can get myself off just fine with no masturbatory aids at all, and this is my typical preference.

So after much contemplation on this topic I have decided that romantic novels are the girl version of porn.

the point is there some secret world of porn made specifically for females that I have yet to discover, or is this pretty much the norm?

edit: So I have concluded from reading all your replies (thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!) that there is a couple places that cater more towards the female mind. It doesn't look like there's really an formal established "Porn made for women" subclass of erotica in existence so one of us should make some damn money on the idea! We need our own section at the porn store!

But in all seriousness I now have a great thread that I'm going to be working my way through (someone insert a masturbation joke for me). thanks for the input <oooh the puns, they are out of control!!!>

You need to watch more amateur ones where its from real couples. Most of the professionally done ones turn me off too (I'm a man).

Yes. This. A thousand times, this. I don't watch porn that looks like it was made in a studio.

You can tell it's not real amateur porn when there's proper lighting.

Amateur porn usually refers to the actors being inexperienced, not the photographers/videographers. To try to make it seem more "authentic" the actors may use little or no makeup and there might be a little less (or crappier) Photoshop.

Ensign_Ruth•

I never considered the fact that the crew needn't be filled with amateurs. Welp;

Abby Winters. Sometimes you'll find decent amateur videos on regular porn sites.

amateur porn gets boring too, I think its more fulling to watch what I personally enjoy doing in real life

I think I've figured out why I can't stand mainstream porn: in most cases, the woman does NOT seem to be attracted to or (genuinely) sexually responding to the man

MrschanOP•

Exactly. It's just the straight up "LOOK AT IT!" approach. I already know what it looks like. I also know the boredom look and a ladies face and that's a turnoff to me.

"OH OH OH" that stuff is so fake. I find it distracting...

24
LittleMissP•

I find it hilarious when the girl is doing pouty sex face and moaning at the camera, but you're pretty confident she has no idea what's going on from her neck down. Most of the time I'm not convinced she knows there's a guy present.

scottsutherland•

'oh yeah... baby that feels good...'

God, how can so many people get turned on by that fake B.S.?

5
LittleMissP•

Even funnier, "yeah baby, slap me with that cock". Why?? How is that in any way pleasurable for anyone involved??

5
MrschanOP•

Yeah, I can't buy the acting at all. They could auto-tune her lines and that wouldn't make them seem any less authentic than they already are.

4
Ensign_Ruth•

Actually I would rather watch autotuned porn over most things.

eternalkerri•

There is a weird instinct that I have found amongst more than myself when talking to others.

Its like people can tell that there is no passion in it. They can tell that the woman is faking, the guy is just pump, that the lesbians are definitely not lesbian even if they are really good actors (comparatively). Its like there is something in the body language or in the eyes. It can't be explained, just felt.

I personally enjoy Literotica.com

I haven't been there in a couple years, but wow, there's some really well-written stuff now.

I really love the Pirates porn parody. Like, really, really, really love it.

MrschanOP•

That's one of my favorites too. My husband likes to skip to "the good parts" and I forbid it :D

friednoodles•

and here lies the problem lol. You're watching porn for a story + sex. Most porn are just sex. Maybe Cinemax and HBO's softcore stuff would be more to your liking.

I watched this at a party with my ex-girlfriend at a party we threw at her apartment. We didn't make it all the way through. We had to retire to her room. :)

The sequel has all my favourite female stars in it :)

No there is no girls porn. Peoples taste in porn is vastly different and girl a likes something girl b finds very disgusting. Luckily there is an unlimited supply of vastly different kinds of porn for everyone.

So I assume if you know what you expect in porn, you will find porn for you. (The stereotypical guess would be softcore)

It is a demographic thing, not gender thing.

Have a look at tiny nibbles, Violet Blue's sex blog(obviously NSFW). She maintains links to good "for her" porn amongst lots of other great things.

There's Pink and White productions, also Erika Lust from Spain makes some excellent films. You might also check out nofauxxx.com.

Here is a good starting place. There are a series of movies featuring this gay detective. it features males,but has good plots and there are always a few hot scenes.

skrshawk•

While mainstream porn (obviously) works for a lot of men, they typically don't realize that those positions that show off the bits to the camera are rather uncomfortable for her. The guy usually just has to lay or stand there and get serviced, or at most thrust his dick around. Sex that actually gets people off generally doesn't film so well. But you can describe it with words without it just seeming silly (so long as you're not talking about shoving a dildo through her cervix...).

[deleted]•

Well, there is some pretty hardcore "literature" out there, so you don't have to go for the lame ass non-explicit romance novels.

Just google "slash." It's written almost entirely by women and depicts all manner of gay buttsex between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.

I mean, has sex in the context of loving relationships o.-

I love the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series. First book is from 1993 it’s called Guilty Pleasures. Meow!

If you like Twilight stay the hell away from my series! If you are a more intelligent person that does not read young adult fiction this book will suit you. It takes my three favorite things and brings them together as one; Murder, Sex, and Zombie raising.

scarlettnova•

OMG SOMEONE FINALLY SAYS THIS!!!

the whole series is pretty awesome but the later books gets nice n steamy! the zombies are also awesome, but the werewolves are better. (wereleopards r best) :)

duccy_duc•

Not to be off topic here, but Anita's ever-growing collection in men has stopped me from buying/reading the last two books. I want more zombies! And Jean-Claude.

Depends on what you're into. I have a friend who is really into being dominated and likes http://www.thetrainingofo.com/site/

Don't say that romance novels are the "girl" version of porn as that is demeaning.

4
mewmewkitty•

I wouldn't consider it demeaning. Everyone is in to something different, some of us just happen to like our smut in word form.

2
tkltangent•

Don't call it "girl" porn. call it "word" porn.

I would suggest there is a huge divide between erotic literature (aka jillin' off stories) and your stereotypical romance novel with its Fabio-esque cover model. For example, a sexy story will say something like "rock hard clit" while a romance novel might say "love button as tumescent as hard candy."

7
tkltangent•

It is demeaning in that calling it "girl" porn makes a huge assumption about girls that I would hope we would be trying not to make. Especially here in 2X.

Don't call it "girl" porn, call it "emotional porn" or "porn focused on _________" but please do not lump all girls into liking this one quite boring form of porn.

3
[deleted]•

There are a bunch of female porn directors who make movies that are targeted for females, you might dig around & see if you find any that you like. I've seen a couple of Petra Joy's films - she uses real couples, which makes the sex a little hotter.

[deleted]•

Great question! I stumbled on one last night that worked for me. The guy was sucking on her nipples like he meant it, as into 100% enjoying it. Talk about hard to find!

I realized that the only naked humping people I am interested in looking at are me and my partner.

When I was 17 and bought a copy of Playgirl, I figured out that it's not that exciting to look at a naked man if you can't touch him.

Meddling•

This has been my problem with porn my entire life. I find it difficult to become excited about people and odd sexual adventures you do not and cannot have. It seems like substituting the real thing and I can't go for the fakeness.

1
JamminCrumpets•

Yeah. It will get you 20 years in this country. Stick to "Woman" porn. It's more moral anyway.

I see whut u did thar

Actually, Belladonna's later hardcore videos (discluding fetishist stuff) are more focused to both partners having a pleasurable time. I find with typical HC porn it's all about the man and his 20 min blowjob, the typical rotation of positions and the money shot. With Belladonna's more recent, more toned down videos there is more focus on the woman receiving some believable oral that lasts for more than 30 seconds, plus they seem to be fucking more in the way that a couple would fuck, rather than pornstars. And I don't mean all sensual and soft lighting, but fun and familiar.

Beware her earlier work though, some of it is certainly not for everyone.
