That's right, we're talking porn for women. These days, that dirty DVD stuck under the mattress where the kids (hopefully) won’t find it is no more. Online porn is plentiful, and easy on the purse. But so much of it is, frankly, gross. We don’t want to watch some scary hairy guy pounding away endlessly. As far as women are concerned, generally, that’s about as erotic as egg salad.
Studies have shown that women have a very wide range when it comes to what we find erotic: we enjoy straight sex, lesbian sex, gay sex, even perhaps some tastefully-filmed bonobo sex. We get turned on, generally, by watching people enjoy mutually pleasurable sexual activity, and we prefer when the viewpoint changes (so we aren’t always looking at the scene as if we’re one of those hairy scary guys standing around waiting their turn).
None of this is really news, these days, luckily. It’s been several years now that studios and independents have been making the kind of porn that women enjoy watching. We have plenty to choose from when it comes to an evening of settling down with our tablet, our lube and our favourite toys. So much, in fact, that it can get a teeny bit overwhelming. And so, because we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get busy whenever you want to, we present Matilda’s list of Perfectly Presentable Porn for Women. (Just in case you’re not thinking straight, these are all completely NSFW!)
Perfectly Presentable Porn for Women
Topping the list is one of our all-time favourites: Bright Desire. You’ll find sexy-as-hell videos, photos, reviews and fiction, all in an easy-to-use and simply laid out website. It’ll cost you US$22.95 for your first 30 days, and then just $9.95 a month for continued access. Even with our up-and-down exchange rate, that’s less than the cost of a couple of crappy DVDs, for access to a huge back catalogue and regularly updated new material. It’s worth every lustful cent.
Next up: xconfessions. Internationally renowned porn director Erika Lust invites the public (including you, if you like – we dare you!) to send her their secret fantasies, and then she turns them into awesomely sexy movies for us all to enjoy. Two new films are added every month. You can sign up just for a month, at US$34.95, or keep going back for more at $14.95 a month. There’s even a super-saver deal at just US$89 for a whole year (works out to $7.35 a month – what a steal).
Indie porn site Pink Label is the home of hipster porn for women: it’s touted as eco-friendly, fair-trade porn by independent filmmakers. They certainly have a wide range of beautifully made queer and straight porn. You can access well-known series like Crash Pad here, and find films by such doyennes of the feminist porn world as Nina Hartley and Annie Sprinkle. We love that you can create an account for free and then pay per movie for the ones you want to watch (expect to pay between US$5 and $10 on average for a two-day ‘rental’).
Ersties is the cutest porn site we know, with lots of adorable illustrations that make us want to laugh out loud. It’s a fun, friendly site, but don’t be fooled. It features a huge array of videos, updated regularly, of women getting it on every which way: solo, partnered, with added whips, on swings and in gardens (plus loads more). Get a single month membership for US$35, or go for the best value-for-money option at $132 for a 12-month membership ($11 a month).
For a quick fix, there are two Tumblr sites we can’t get enough of. Lady Cheeky’s Smut for Smarties features animated gifs of women enjoying some very hot action. Yummy Porn for Girls has a similar feed, showcasing what the owner calls ‘erotic images that I think actually appeal to women’.
That’s our list to get you started, and we think there’s plenty there to feed your fantasies. But just in case you’re looking for more, we highly recommend Violet Blue’s thorough run-down of the best of the best porn for women (and, to be honest, men too).
PS: For those downtimes when you're offline, pick up one of the sexy books featured on this page from Matilda's erotic book selection.
