Many subgenres of porn fall under this 'feminist' umbrella, and that's usually a great place to start if mainstream porn isn't for you.Īnd for the record, there's nothing wrong with being into the typical male gaze-oriented porn - many women are. This is a term that was popularized a few years ago, and it means different things to different people, but it can refer to porn made under friendly labor conditions (which is why it's often not free), as well as porn that features 'more normal-looking women in more normal sexual encounters, with a focus on a woman's sexual pleasure,' as The Week put it. But there's so much more than that out there - you might just not know where to find it.
Whether you're into porn or not - and a 2015 survey suggests that over half of women are - the odds are that many people out there have only seen heteronormative, male-gaze oriented porn.
