Better Than Reality TV
Porn.
Now, if you are a woman, this word may evoke a variety of feelings and emotions. Maybe you are like about half of the women I have interviewed and love watching porn: you think it’s sexy and fun and can’t get enough of it. Or maybe you are like the other half of my female interviewees: the thought of watching porn makes your stomach turn and your insecurities flare up like herpes, and you’d rather scrub the toilet while on your period wearing stilettos and a corset three sizes too small than sit through a porno.
The subject of porn within the relationship is an age-old issue among the sexes, and while some couples are duking it out over the prospect of watching porn together, some women are embracing it, realizing that it can be used to enhance their sexual experiences, not replace them, and finding that it really spices things up in the bedroom.
“I’m all for porn,” says Crystal, a 31-year-old married mother of two. “It usually makes the action in the bedroom better.” And mother of one, Sandra says “it helps me get in the mood.” Kelly, a married mother of three, takes it one step further. “Watching porn with my husband makes me feel liberated and sexy, and it gives us tons of ideas, positions, etc. to try to keep things interesting in our sex life. We often have limited time to get in the mood and get it on because of our kids, so watching a little bit of porn gets us both ready and tearing each others’ clothes off.”
REASONS WHY MOMS MIGHT LOVE THE PORN
1. It helps to scrub the images of Dora the Explorer off your brain so we stop singing “We did it, we did it, we did it, YEAH!” after a lovemaking session.
2. It’s not just for guys anymore—women make porn, too, like Candida Royalle or Tristan Taormino, for starters.
3. It’s a helluva lot more interesting than the 524 reality shows that have polluted the cable airways.
4. Why should the guys get to have all the porn fun?
5. It gives us ideas for new positions, tricks, and even lingerie. Since there isn’t a lot of inspiration on Noggin for those sorts of things.
