Why Lesbians Watch Gay Porn

I'm a lesbian and I watch gay male porn.

I’m a lesbian and I watch gay male porn.

Lights dimmed, door locked, and clothes off. A masturbation session usually starts with these three things. Once I’m in my bed with my private browser on, I have an internal battle with myself on what porn to watch. Sometimes I’ll go through 10 lesbian pornos, all brightly lit blonde babes with fake boobs fingering each other's hairless vaginas most likely still wearing their 6 inch stiletto heels. Nothing ever happens, no matter how hard I want to orgasm. I almost always end up watching gay porn.

With the very small representation that we have of queer females in TV and film, almost none of them are shown to have a sexuality like that of a real queer women. Lots of really quick and one sided sex scenes and hardly any masturbation or talk of what they like to watch. So it's totally understandable that no one but a select few within the LGBT+ community would have heard about this.

Most people would find that absurd—a woman who likes women finds a guy ramming another guy in the arse an orgasmic image. But I’m not alone in this, many of my queer female pals watch gay porn to get off too. After some existential thinking, I think I may know the answer to the strange question, why do lesbians love gay male porn?

Most gay porn stars and is made by gay men, something lesbian porn lacks. Gay porn is gay and lesbian porn is straight, it’s that simple. The homosexuality of gay porn is attractive and something that turns me and lots of my fellow queer ladies on. I don’t find straight people or straight relationships attractive or something I want in life, but I want a gay relationship, like the ones portrayed in gay porn.

It’s also something I can't critique because I’ve never, and will never be a man having sex with another man. When I watch lesbian porn I am constantly thinking "oh there is no way fake nails feel good" or "who has sex with that many lights on?", I feel like a professional critiquing a film about their portrayal of lesbians.

The way I find a woman attractive is so completely different to the way most men find a woman attractive, I don’t really know the science behind it, but it just is. So when something is made for straight men (like lesbian porn), it doesn’t automatically become interchangeable with what queer women want as well, it's actually very different.

Yes, there are creators out there making quality lesbian porn but most of it costs money and as much as I would love to support my local porn maker I’m still a broke student and porn subscriptions are not high on my list of needs when it comes to my monthly budget.

There is still lots to learn about this phenomenon. I am sure there are straight women out there that also find gay male porn attractive and some straight women may even find lesbian porn appealing, that's the beauty of the porn industry. People's porn preferences are all unique to themselves and something that is usually kept between you and your internet browser. I think being open and honest with what you like and don't like can create a more healthy and communicative relationship between and your current or potential partner, but that's a whole other article.

Knowing that some queer women don't actually like lesbian porn will hopefully normalise it in general media and bring forth more quality lesbian porn created by and for queer women, or at least some well thought out queer characters in film and TV.
