Jessica Harris answers the question “Why do women view porn?”

The reasons that women view porn is varying. There’s not one specific reason.

  • Some women might view porn out of curiosity. They don’t know what it is. Or they might have a husband, boyfriend or father who are looking at it, so they start watching it to see.
  • Some women are drawn in by an emotional aspect that meets a very real emotional need. It could be filling a void in acceptance, body image or in interaction with people. They use it as a learning tool of how to interact with people.
  • Some women view as a coping mechanism. To deal with some pain in their life.
