    Too busy laughing that the first act rated on the list is “shove her head in toilet” to keep going, I’ll try later.

    At least both groups had it at the low end, but seriously, I worry about the ones that gave it a thumbs up. WhoTF are these people?

    I’m surprised at how incredibly accurate men’s predictions of women’s preferences actually are. Very few graphs here where they come apart significantly.

    It is notable that porn usage among women is substantially different for many of the reasons that are laid out in the article. Not only is there a significant difference in proportion of women who consume porn (60% vs 92% of men) they are also significantly less likely to consume porn in video format, usually opting for written content. Undoubtedly this has to do with the ability to empathize with the very male-gazey standards that the video industry currently operates under.

    I have a few issues with the data collection overall, although the author does discuss some of these nicely.

    I’m a bit perplexed by the analysis of the correlations, though. The author describes coefficients in the range 0.2-0.3 as “medium” which I would not consider to show correlation at all. It would be interesting to see a scatter of any of the variables being tested, I’m guessing we would see quite clearly that there is no correlation. Unless, of course, I’m missing something and the author is not using Pearson’s… It would have been nice to have a methods section going over the actual tests used.

      Porn absolutely sets unrealistic sexual expectations.

      Does female porn mess up women?

      I think it’s important to recognize that it’s not just unwell and delusional men. Many men discover porn as boys and it warps their view of “real” sex, not because they were unwell, but because they were impressionable and no one taught them anything different.

      Also, I have heard countless stories from women about dudes who attempt things they saw in porn, often without consent. It’s unfortunately not an uncommon thing, and it’s not fair to say that all of these men are delusional–they’re confused, they lack crucial knowledge about love and intimacy, and they have mysoginistic ideas about women, sure. It’s highly problematic, but we can’t simply write them off as unwell. We need to hold them to a higher standard than that if we hope for them to take responsibility and do the work it takes to be better.

    Really quite a good read, and lots of charts to review. There was also a lot of explanations about assumptions, and really tried to understand what the question actually is.

    My question is, does women watching porn affect what they want?
