Pop culture would have us believe that men are the planet's only porn-watchers.

But the truth is that women watch their fair share of porn — and according to exclusive new data from Pornhub, they're flocking to certain categories a whole lot more than dudes are. And no, we're not just talking about porn for women. We're talking about so-called "extreme" categories like "rough sex" and "hardcore."

Rough sex porn: More women than men

Pornhub's "rough sex" section is the 35th most popular of the site's 90 categories. It's also 63 per cent more popular with women than it is with men.

Hardcore porn: More women than men

"Hardcore" is Pornhub's 33rd most popular section, and once again, women make up the majority of viewers: Compared to men, they're 75 per cent more likely to seek out videos that fall in this category. (For what it's worth, Pornhub's hardcore section is pretty all-encompassing: You'll find everything from oral sex to pegging to full-on gangbangs.)

Fetish porn: More men than women — but just barely

Pornhub's "fetish" category it is 69th (nice) most popular. It's visited by more men than women, but the gap isn't especially wide: Guys are just 7 per cent more likely than women to check out fetish porn. (Again, this category is wide-ranging: It covers all sorts of fetishes, including BDSM, macrophilia, golden showers, and more.)

If you're surprised by women's relative interest in some of Pornhub's extreme categories, you shouldn't be. While people's porn preferences don't always align with what they like to do in the bedroom, a recent survey of 400,000 OkCupid members did find that 62 percent of women enjoy rough sex. Among their favourite kinky sex acts were hair pulling, being bitten, derogatory dirty talk, and being tied up.

If you and your partner want to get a little extreme IRL, check out our 5 hottest rough sex positions. As with any time you get it on, make sure to get consent and use protection.
