6 Questions Women Should Ask BEFORE Looking For Porn (To Find The Good Stuff)

Here’s a dirty little secret we don’t always like to admit — women enjoy porn.

Not every woman, of course, but there have been recent studies that argue that 1 in 3 women view porn every week. And 90% of the respondents said they watch their pornography online, so the stereotype of the sneaky man clearing his browser history every night isn’t entirely accurate.

It’s not just men who are browsing sex sites online. Women are also searching for sexy material on their laptops and phones, even though porn for women isn’t always the same kind of thing that appeals to men.

Because we all have our own specific kinks and preferences. When a woman goes looking for porn online, you can’t expect that she’s going to be looking for the same stuff or searching in the same way as men.

The key is knowing what you want.

There are sites out there that make the selection process easier — for example, ThePornDude collects a fantastic curated list of quality sex sites — but women still need to have an idea of what they’re looking for from their online erotica.

Here are FIVE questions every woman should ask themselves before they fire up their browsers and start looking for their own particular brand of porn online.

1. Are you into fantasy or reality?

This question doesn’t only apply to cosplayers or 50 Shades of Grey fans. It says a lot about what you’re looking for when it comes to searching for sexy videos online, particularly in terms of production value.

If you like chiseled hot actors, over-the-top scenarios (think the lucky pizza delivery guy and beyond), and high-def picture quality, you’re probably to want to check out a premium pay site. BUT if you’ve got more of a voyeuristic edge and want your sex to look really real, there are amateur sites that collect homemade movies (or pro films designed to look homemade) for your viewing pleasure.

It sometimes comes down to the whether or not you’re looking for free porn sites or pay porn sites as well, even though you can usually find high-class production value and cinéma-vérité-style on either side of the paywall.

2. Do you really want to see a penis today?

Valid question. Women have access to more pornography than they’ve ever had before, so they can’t ignore all of the options available to them. For example, porn for women doesn’t always have to involve a big hunky guy named Chad or Dirk. There are so many specific fetish and lesbian sex sites out there that women can spend hours — DAYS, even — browsing porn without ever having to see a dude if they don’t want to.

There’s still plenty of peen available if they’re interested, but if they want to try something a little less masculine (but still a whole lot sexy), they won’t be disappointed in the selection.

3. Are you using protection?

That might sound like an odd question related to online porn, but have you never heard of a computer virus before? There are so many shady sex sites out there, specifically designed to infiltrate your laptop for their own nefarious purposes.

On sites like ThePornDude, you can find a useful software list that can help you fend off any digital attackers AND help you browse whatever you want with all the privacy you deserve (allowing you to enjoy your freaky-deaky on the DL).

4. What gets you hotter — pictures or words?

We all know that men get primarily get turned on visually, but things are a little different for women. Sure, they appreciate a hot model as much as anyone else, but there’s one key element to porn for women that you’d be remiss to forget — EROTICA.

Women love literotica, sexy stories that get their imaginations going and inspire their deepest darkest fantasies. If you’re tired of seeing the same old naked people, try seeking out erotic sex stories online and see how hot the written word can be. (It certainly worked for 50 Shades.)

5. What’s your secret kink (that you’re ashamed to admit)?

The amazing thing about the internet is that almost ANYTHING is available to you. (That’s also one of the big downsides of the internet as well.) That means you can explore your sexuality in an achingly specific way, if that appeals to you. So before you start searching, really ask yourself — what pushes my buttons?

Is it BDSM? Redheads? Feet? A certain body type? A particular fetish? There’s a sex site out there for almost anything. If you can admit to yourself what really turns you on, trust us, there are awesome, categorized lists of free porn sites that can deliver EXACTLY what you were looking for.

6. Are you interesting in finding the GOOD stuff?

Too often, we start every search with Google, but the sad fact is — when you’re looking for erotic material, Google isn’t always your best friend. It’s too mainstream, too family-friendly, too focused on being everything to everybody.

Fortunately, there are some amazing porn-specific search engines out there that can help you find a much greater (and kinkier) variety than the top 5 search results pages on Google will ever offer you.

Ladies, don’t be afraid to let your freak flag fly online.

Just be smart about your searching, don’t settle for sub-par material, and find the porn that speaks to you as the sexy AF woman that you are.
