Gone are the days when women were told to ‘lie back and think of England’ when it came to sex. It’s 2020 ladies, so it’s time we stopped being ashamed of admitting to enjoying porn and own up to being sexual creatures we all are–no matter our age, size or background. We get it, there’s a lot of problematic porn on the internet that only caters to the male gaze and horrendously objectifies women. But with more and more websites creating tasteful pornography aimed towards women, it isn’t that hard to find something that you enjoy.
In fact, what if we told you that watching porn is actually good for you? We didn’t say it, science did. In a recent study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health revealed that women who watch porn get better orgasms.

Titled ‘Effects of Pornography Use and Demographic Parameters on Sexual Response during Masturbation and Partnered Sex in Women’, the researchers aimed to understand the effect of pornography on sexual response in women. And whoever told you that watching porn will dampen your own sex life was mistaken, because it turns out that it does the opposite. According to the findings of the study, porn usage doesn’t disturb your sexual response in partnered sex–in fact, it tends to make your orgasms better.
Now isn’t that a win-win situation? *wink*

“In this particular study, we examined whether the frequency of pornography use during masturbation can predict sexual response outcomes such as difficulty reaching orgasm, latency to orgasm, and orgasmic pleasure during both masturbation and partnered sex,” said Sean M. McNabney, one of the authors of the study.
And who said you need to be coupled up to have good orgasms? The study observed that regular use of porn during masturbation was related to “lower arousal difficulty and orgasmic difficulty, greater pleasure, and a higher percentage of masturbatory events leading to orgasm.” When it came to partnered sex, it resulted in “lower arousal difficulty and longer orgasmic latencies.”

Basically, you don’t need no man (or woman) to give you that big-O! Watching porn will intensify your orgasms, whether you’re single or in a relationship.
Another interesting finding of the study was that while women who watch porn were able to enjoy better sex lives, the study doesn’t really comment on sexual relationship satisfaction. “We also observed no association between pornography and sexual relationship satisfaction, suggesting that the latter is influenced by other factors. Thus, these findings challenge the common assumption that pornography is consistently harmful to partnered sexual relationships,” said Sean.
