Porn: What Does the Research Say?
We’ve got a big topic today on the podcast: Porn. Don’t let this scare you away because we have lots of research to present! This is another taboo topic that is not routinely talked about in the women’s bathroom or gossip circles, but something that is heavily consumed and not talked enough about.
Surprisingly, while porn is most often consumed by men, the research shows more benefits for women than men.
In this episode, we cover the percentage of men versus women who consume porn content, explore international perspectives from women on porn, the effect on sexual performance for both men and women in relation to the amount of porn consumed, more ethical porn sites you should know about, and how watching porn in a relationship affects the quality of connection and sexual intimacy.
Our conversation includes breaking down site visits for major pornography sites versus well-known sites such as Amazon, Netflix etc. We’ll share the percentage of men vs women who consume porn content and explore international women’s perspectives on porn. The research presented today also looks at men and women’s sexual performance in relation to the amount of porn consumed. And also porn watching in a relationship and quality of sexual intimacy.
