Turns out, women tend to have more erotic plasticity.
It comes down to a biological construct called “ erotic plasticity,” which describes the ability to easily change your patterns and sources of sexual arousal. “Women's pleasure is more elusive if authentic at all, and so a little bit more reliability or at least presumption of authentic pleasure,” can go a long way, says Skyler. “That authenticity is a big turn on for a lot of people, especially women,” says Jenni Skyler, Ph.D., a therapist and sexologist at the Intimacy Institute in Colorado and resident expert at Adam & Eve. It’s an especially nice change from that all-too-common immediate orgasm women in heterosexual videos often portray. So, if you identify as straight, why the attraction to same-sex porn? For anyone who’s ever watched heterosexual porn, girl-on-girl or even boy-on-boy can be a nice break from the performative aspect of girl-boy action. According to 2018 user data from Porn Hub, “lesbian” was the number one used search term for female-identifying users. Congratulations! An affinity for same-sex porn when you’re straight is more common than you might think-and more importantly, it’s totally normal.
You identity as a straight woman-but enjoy lesbian porn.
