Fantasy is a huge part of what is appealing about porn. Plus, lesbian porn is more likely to feature a sensual vibe, sex toys, and extended foreplay and less likely to show degrading or exploitative situations that are more the norm in porn that's targeted to heterosexual men. “In lesbian porn, there really is a focus on oral sex and clitoral stimulation as the main event,” Fleming explains. And since this is typically what gets most women off anyway, it's no wonder this is what you like to see on screen.
Plus, it's a common complaint that male partners don’t take enough time to warm up a woman before sex, so lesbian porn can also be a gentle nudge if you're watching it together with your partner. (Hey - see that? And how it turns me on? Yeah, do that, please.)
The takeaway here is that women are looking for porn that appeals to their needs. Since a lot of male/female porn doesn’t address what straight women desire, it makes sense that they’d look elsewhere.
