Cosmopolitan surveyed men and women’s porn viewing habits and discovered that men watch porn even more than women think men do.
Here are some things we learned from the results, which are based on a survey of 4,000 men and 4,000 women:
- 21.3% of women prefer same-sex porn to heterosexual porn, compared to 1.8% of men.
- When it comes to porn actresses, the most important characteristic men are looking for is youth. 47.4% picked “young” as the quality they look for, followed by 40.1% selecting “large breasts.” Men could choose more than one category, and “MILF” had a strong showing at 30%.
- .1% of the female respondents had done porn.
- 7 out of 10 men watch stuff on porn they wouldn’t do in real life, which is comforting considering some of the funky porn genres on the Internet.
- Only 7 out of every 50 women like to watch things they wouldn’t do themselves.
- 2/3 of men orgasm faster from watching porn than they do from real life sex.
- 8% of men prefer masturbating and watching porn to IRL sex.
- 68.3% of women aren’t bothered by their male partner’s porn-watching habits, as long as they don’t interfere with the relationship.
Overall, the survey highlighted that, while men are more voracious porn consumers than women, women aren’t as grossed out by X-rated videos as one might think.
