This just in from the wire….
YourTango, a mainstream site that avoids adult content like a virus, has covered Sssh.com in a delightful way…..
“You’d be shocked to know how many women view porn … and what turns them on about it.”
Angie Rowntree, founder of the leading women’s porn and erotica site Sssh.com (pronounced “shush”), hesitates to label different porn-seeking behaviors by gender. The current range of ways to describe this type of genre ranges from “Feminist Porn”, to “Ethical Porn” and at times, spills over into the just plain silly name, “Mommy Porn” (spawned by mainstream media to describe the surging number of women consuming adult content after having read Fifty Shades of Grey of the past year. “There is no one way that women approach porn — we’re much more multi-faceted than that,” Rowntree says. “Some women find erotica minimally sexual, and others consider it a huge turn-on. It’s different strokes for different folks, pun intended.” The majority of Sssh visitors are women — specifically women in relationships who view porn with their partners. Nearly 80 percent have never belonged to another adult website.
YourTango states, “Sssh users have debunked the notion that women aren’t visual — videos and a 50 Shades of Grey-inspired virtual world are the most popular part of the site. Yes, they’re beautifully filmed, have storylines and depict the pleasure of each person in a given encounter. In one video, a man surprises his wife in the kitchen … and it’s hotter than anything on the stove. But they’re not all so vanilla. Many other videos depict kinkier encounters — like BDSM — with and without sex. Some videos are just plain fun, like the one about a sexual encounter with a ghost or naughty versions of classic fairytales. One unusual thing about the gamut of videos: They all feature actors who look like healthy, normal people, many of whom are in real-life relationships with their on-screen partners.
Because Sssh is the product of its members, seeing what content doesn’t make the cut can also tell us something about how women approach porn. In a survey, nearly 87 percent of users asked not to see “facials” in the videos. The greatest divide among Sssh members: anal sex. It’s on the site, because an equal number of people requested both more and less content about it. – YourTango
