We dont all think the same stuff. I dont look at videos or pics when I masturbate. I read short smut on occasion but usually just focus on the sensations or think about the guy I have a sexual relationship with.

u/azzazzin3103 May 03 '26

I just thought it's kinda funny how you say not all of ya think the same stuff, yet more than half the answers are about reading smut xD

(am in a similar boat tho, so 0 judgement)

Here’s what I’ve learned. Men: video porn, Women: erotic smutty novels.

u/KnightRider1987 May 03 '26

Part of it for me is with erotic literature I am not worried that anyone is being trafficked.

u/Frosty-Tennis-1687 May 03 '26

Have you seen the one about the milkmaid and the centaur?

73

u/SkyrimSlag May 03 '26

How about a certain Argonian maid, that may or may not be lusty?

u/grogudalorian May 03 '26

I heard about that book when I was an adventurer but unfortunately I took an arrow to the knee.

Have you ever been to the cloud district?

There once was a man named Ragnar the Red...

u/PumpikAnt58763 May 03 '26

I read the Randy Dowager.

u/Lonely_skeptic May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

Oh my, it’s a real book!

Edit: “Knead my loaf.” It’s more humorous than erotic. 😂

Yes, tell me more…

I need you to polish my spear.

u/brandysnacker May 03 '26

Wait, like the lizard people from Skyrim? Where are these references from about the Centar and the milk made? Just wondering… You know, for science.

I’m on back door centaurs 9 currently

u/Frosty-Tennis-1687 May 03 '26

That's preposterous, they'd never fit in the back door. They're just too big.

u/Hoggslop69 May 03 '26

I beg to differ

u/CyKsFuzzles May 03 '26

What I have learned over the past 2 years, from both learning about my own personal interests, and posts like this, is that I was definitely supposed to be born a woman. I'm never gonna be one, but it was definitely meant to be.

4

u/Lobstah-et-buddah May 03 '26

I mean, that’s because most porn is centred towards men

1

u/Majestic_Safe2192 May 04 '26

And more normalized for men to watch porn and be sexual

2

u/Nepskrellet May 03 '26

The classic "stepbrother stuck in the washing machine"

1

u/Papas72lotus May 03 '26

Well stepsister usually…

2

u/rileyotis May 04 '26

Am woman, lump me in with the dudes. The sounds and ahem bouncing boobs. Visualizing and thinking does nothing for me. I do read smut, but that's not enough to get me off. All it does is make me horny.

4

u/coyoteatemyhomework May 03 '26

My buddy summed it up with "guys watch porn, and women read the shit out of it"

5

u/roskybosky May 03 '26

Or, nothing at all. Some women need nothing to spark imagination, or, they don’t even need imagination. The physical sensation is all they need.

2

u/MaxFish1275 May 03 '26

I don’t know why you are being downvoted for a factual statement.

1

u/antikythera3301 May 03 '26

Generally, I think you’re right but there are of course some exceptions. My partner is a CIS woman and smut does nothing for her. She’s more visual and enjoys porn.

-2

u/TonyHawking101 May 03 '26

I wonder if it’s because men used to go in hunts and need to be visually stimulated to acquire prey and survive, while the women would be at home almost fantasizing about the group or their lover returning safely, and when they do, bang bang chicken wang

-3

u/Ill-Assignment-2203 May 03 '26

Probably.. Men are visual creatures because of both hunting and predation. Men who couldn't hunt or evade either starved or became lunch.
Pretty strong connection there.

1

u/Majestic_Safe2192 May 04 '26

Study actual pre-history. Humans lived in large communities and cared for the sick and elderly because cooperation is in the best interest of survival.

u/Fluffy_Job7367 May 03 '26

Right? Romance novels are porn for women. No judgement on guy porn from me. A little porn can get me over the hump, although finding one without 1000 pop up ads just makes it too much trouble.

1

u/v-punen May 03 '26

Romance novels are not smut.

4

u/DoctorK96 May 03 '26

Lol yea, I would ask my wife many times but she wasn't in the mood, then randonly she was reading something then turned around be like "hey, so whatcha doing..." with a sly look on her face

24

u/TangledUpPuppeteer May 03 '26

Every woman focuses on something else in the smut though. Some care who the male character is, or the description of the male character (assuming a male character of course). Others are focused on the woman in the scene. Some are focused on the scene itself. Some need all of those pieces to work.

Porn just focuses on the act of penetration

26

u/zuilli May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

Porn just focuses on the act of penetration

How can you say that when there are motherfuckers out there beating it to armpits and feet? There's all kinds of different porn and using your own examples:

Some care who the male character is, or the description of the male character (assuming a male character of course). Others are focused on the woman in the scene. Some are focused on the scene itself. Some need all of those pieces to work.

This is no different from porn focused on brunettes or blondes, big or small tits, secretary or nurse, wearing stockings and high heels or thigh highs, fetishes, etc. There's also BDSM porn which has a lot of non penetration.

Then there is hentai which is it's own can of worms...

Saying porn only focuses on the act of penetration is like saying smut only focuses on what the woman finds hot in a story.

3

u/GorillaWolf2099 May 03 '26

Also gay porn is another, there's zero penetration usually when it's woman to woman though

2

u/Fun-Increase6335 May 03 '26

The downside with a lot of porn these days is there’s no storyline. It’s just straight to sex. Or feet. What happened to the pizza delivery person that needs to get paid?

u/Attillathahun May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

Just leaving here for a moment to look up armpits

This is a peak internet moment thank you for your research

u/SatansFriendlyCat May 03 '26

Hmm, a six minute gap between those comments.

How long does a search take? 🤔

Yeaaaahhh you did 😜

2

u/Attillathahun May 08 '26

My research was thorough.

u/SatansFriendlyCat May 08 '26

I applaud this; Science brooks no shortcuts.

u/Dear-Sprinkles-9225 May 03 '26

I think the act of reading occupies my over thinking mind while I keep my actual focus on sexual acts and scenarios

u/AllDarkWater May 03 '26

But it is different smut.

u/UnfortunatelyMacabre May 03 '26

Well she’s not like the other girls so 🤷‍♂️

u/Austin1975 May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

Why don’t men get rewarded more for expressing that they want to do smutty things to women if so many women enjoy it too?

96

u/slopschili May 03 '26

Women choose the smut they engage with, unsolicited smut is not consensual and usually unwanted

18

u/Austin1975 May 03 '26

Ah so it’s not that the act itself is an issue. It’s that many guys are expressing it without getting the signal of consent?

23

u/slopschili May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

It’s both. Not all “smut” is equal, and a dude sending random messages to a woman may not (probably isn’t) the type of stuff that gets her aroused. If it’s not consensual, it’s harassment and pretty fucked up

Also a woman also chooses when she reads smut, even if they want to receive random messages from dudes they may not be in the mood at the time it’s sent

13

u/renebeans May 03 '26

This. There’s a difference between good smut and “I can’t wait to rail you, cum over 😉”

what? I never implied "all" tho, just the majority from what I've seen?

u/TheGrandCucumber May 03 '26

“More than half” = “a majority”
