Porn Virgins Do Not Exist

[chuckdm]

Well, aside from the obvious "yeah, count me in the 'regulars' category" comment, I wanted to expand on this and pose another question: Has anyone else who watches a decent variety of porn ever noticed that the...um... "talent pool" is drastically skewed towards women? That is, it seems like there's at least 3 female porn stars for every 1 guy. This isn't really bad, just seems strange that the lopsided ratio of people IN the porn is the polar opposite of the people WATCHING the porn.

Anyone else ever notice this?

How is that strange?
Guys watch women.
More guys watch, therefore more women to watch.

Well, that sounds like a broad generalization coming from a researcher of a first world university that asked for volunteers among university students. In that sample, yes, I am sure its pretty hard to find people that fulfill those restrictions, but there are plenty of people in the world that do...

I don't watch porn, and I'm in my 20s. The wording is "Never" consumed porn, and I don't think that it's possible to use the internet and not accidentally run across it at some point. It's pretty ubiquitous.

To quote George Carlin, "I don't like porno movies, they piss me off. First they show a great looking naked chick who starts playing with herself; and as I watch she sorta becomes my girlfriend. Then in walks a guy with a big dick, and starts fucking my girlfriend. Pisses me off."

I went through the "omgz! porn!" phase for maybe a few hours one weekend when I was 13 or 14, after that didn't see what the big deal was.

Speaking as an asexual, I have accidentally stumbled upon porn. I never go further than the first few seconds, but I think I'm forever tainted.

Mate, you have one of the most highly sexualized avatars that I've seen not just on this thread, but the Escapist in general, and have your interests listed as 'girls' on your profile... That doesn't seem asexual at all.

On topic, I think that the number of women who claim to have not watched porn is overstated. I think that the majority of the women polled who claimed they hadn't watched porn are lying. It has been my experience that if one gender is going to be more open about their sexual side, it'll be men, not women, even if the study is anonymous (this at least goes to anyone who isn't close to them and female). This has been my view and experience at least. While men will overstate their sexual conquests and involvements, women will understate it more frequently.
