Researchers at Germany’s Duisburg-Essen University say that pornography as the exclusive, or virtually exclusive, domain of men is a myth: Females dig viewing porn, too. Not to mention, women are just as likely to get addicted to it as men.
Mommy blog portal The Stir reports on a new study from the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking:
The study involved 102 straight women — half were regular porn viewers and half weren’t, all were under the age of 30 — who were shown 100 pornographic photos. Afterward, “cravings and arousal levels” were higher among the porn fans. Surprise!
Obviously, those findings aren’t actually shocking. What is supposed to get our tongues wagging, however, is that the lead author of the study says porn is “the new cocaine” — and women are just as likely as men to get hooked.
Sounds … obvious, no? Although men probably do consume a lot more porn than women on the regular, it’s never been a strictly heterosexual male pastime! Both men and women have been interested in — or even potentially addicted to — sex since, well, the dawn of time. So, yeah, it stands to reason that women could also fall victim to porn addiction.
