Why Do Women View Pornography?
Briefly

Contrary to the belief that women dislike pornography, recent data shows that a significant portion of pornographic site viewers are female. Pornhub's analytics indicate that 29 percent of its visitors in 2023 were women. This challenges the myth of women's reluctance to view porn, as many derive educational benefits from it. Research involving interviews with 30 women from the U.K. and Greece suggests that women's engagement with pornography is more complex and positive than traditionally assumed, indicating a genuine interest rather than mere acquiescence to male preferences.
The myth is that women abhor pornography because it appeals to men's sexual fantasies while ignoring women's erotic sensibilities and needs.
Pornhub, one of the world's largest porn sites, shows that one-quarter to one-third of its viewers are women, with 2023 statistics indicating 29 percent.
Recent research with 30 women from the U.K. and Greece indicates that many women derive benefits from watching porn, challenging the myth of reluctance.
If 29 percent of Pornhub's 2023 visitors were women, it suggests that many women must be visiting willingly, implying a demand for porn among females.
