Chicks Over Dicks: Why It's Totally Normally For Straight Women To Watch Lesbian Porn

abcnews.go.com Ladies, we are no different from men. We like to have a little time with ourselves, if you know what I mean. But what are we watching to get excited during that time? Straight porn, gay porn, maybe throw a whip in there… The options are endless.

A new study from the University of Essex found that straight women actually prefer to watch lesbian porn. Dr. Gerulf Rieger from the Department of Psychology led the research, publishing his findings in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

The study involving 345 women found that a majority of straight women are sexually aroused by videos of attractive women. Even if they reported that they are only interested in men, 74 percent of straight women were strongly aroused by both sexes.

The research tested a theory that lesbians are more masculine in their sexual behaviors. But maybe straight women watch lesbian porn because the lesbians actually know how to please a woman. Women don’t want to watch a man getting off because, hey, we don’t know what it feels like to have a dick.

Watching a woman go down on another woman is more sensual than watching a man do it. With girls, it seems more passionate and meaningful– while there's always the thought that some guys might do it just so the favor will be returned.

When watching women on screen, it makes it easier to let the mind wonder and imagine their own partner preforming the heavenly acts. And honestly, it usually gets us off quicker. That’s the area we are pleasuring anyway and unless you have a dildo, there’s no reason to be looking at a penis on screen. Last year, RedTube and Pornhub statistics revealed that most women seek out girl-on-girl action online.

Dr Rieger noted that his research informed him “that how women appear in public does not mean we know anything about their sexual role preferences.” Hell yeah. Usher summarized this idea perfectly: “A lady in the street but a freak in the bed.”

If you're a straight woman with a preference for lesbian porn, that is no indication of your sexuality. It just means that you are in tune with your body and sexual self. Knowing your own body’s likes and dislikes only propels you in this world. So enjoy your alone time and browse porn sites to get to know what you enjoy watching the most. Hey, if you want to watch someone stick a toe in a butthole, I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. Figure out what works for you.
