Plenty of straight women are into male-male porn and erotica

Melbourne: It may not at all surprise you to learn that some men use ‘lesbian’ porn. However, women using erotica featuring gay men are all set to shock you. An online porn study, led by an Indian-origin neuroscientist, has unveiled a shocking new vision of human desires that overturn conventional thinking — plenty of straight women are into male-male porn and erotica. Sai Gaddam and Ogi Ogas highlight women’s interest in ‘gay romance novels’ and erotic stories in ‘A Billion Wicked Thoughts’, a study of Internet porn habits described as ‘the world’s largest experiment’, and say male-male sex interests a lot more women than you really think, reports the Sydney Morning Herald. According to them, the most popular site for women is fanfiction.net, which has 1.5 million visitors a month. By identifying women’s interest in gay male romance and sex, ‘A Billion Wicked Thoughts’ seems to be onto something. However, the researchers’ claims come as no surprise to Louise Lush and Suraya Singh – editors of erotica website forthegirls.com and erotic magazine Filament, respectively. They say male-male erotica is very popular indeed. Lush said she has personally spoken with a lot of women online via Twitter, Facebook etc who say they love gay porn and male-male erotic fiction. ANI
