Stats


The study by Today's Christian Woman found that even good church-going women were peeking at the odd bit of porn. Over 34 percent of female respondents to an online survey said they had deliberately gone looking for porn.

Research by scientists at Stanford Medical University in California in December 2003 found that women become more quickly aroused by porn videos than men.

In late 2003, Neilsen Netratings revealed that 1 in 3 users of porn were women. Over 9 million American women accessed adult sites in September 2003 alone. According to Internet Filter Review, 13% of women are accessing porn at work.

In the past five years, the number of female directors of porn video and film has increased from a handful to 30, compared to about 200 male porn directors. (Mercury News 9.5.03)
As of 2003, only 4% of today's (non-erotic, Hollywood) films are directed by women. (BUST winter .03)

In 2002, over eight million adult videos and DVD were rented in America. 30% of those rentals went to women and "couples." (Adult Video News 1.03)

In women-friendly boutiques such as Good Vibrations, women make up 80% of the porn rental and purchase market (2003). These figures are never included in mainstream journal statisitcs (such as AVN).

In a 1987 Redbook survey of over 26,000 female respondents, nearly half stated that they regularly used porn.

In the 1996 book Defending Pornography by ACLU president Nadine Strossen, "Women, either singly or as part of a couple, constitute more than 40 percent of the adult videotape rental audience. . ."

You know, there are some prudes out there who will never get past the way they were raised to "view" porn - in a negative light. But, it's a great way to learn new things, especially if your partner is open to it.

I wouldn't recommend a steady diet of it but a little here and there can be fun, don't ya think?

I reckon 34% of women are honest, I'll be surprised if the real figure isn't much higher.
Accessing at work is dodgy though, not good for job prospects if you are caught.
