    Too busy laughing that the first act rated on the list is “shove her head in toilet” to keep going, I’ll try later.

    At least both groups had it at the low end, but seriously, I worry about the ones that gave it a thumbs up. WhoTF are these people?

      Porn absolutely sets unrealistic sexual expectations.

      Does female porn mess up women?

      It is notable that porn usage among women is substantially different for many of the reasons that are laid out in the article. Not only is there a significant difference in proportion of women who consume porn (60% vs 92% of men) they are also significantly less likely to consume porn in video format, usually opting for written content. Undoubtedly this has to do with difficulties empathizing with the very male-gazey standards that the video industry currently operates under.

    I’m surprised at how incredibly accurate men’s predictions of women’s preferences actually are. Very few graphs here where they come apart significantly.

    I have a few issues with the data collection overall, although the author does discuss some of these nicely.

    I’m a bit perplexed by the analysis of the correlations, though. The author describes coefficients in the range 0.2-0.3 as “medium” which I would not consider to show correlation at all. It would be interesting to see a scatter of any of the variables being tested, I’m guessing we would see quite clearly that there is no correlation. Unless, of course, I’m missing something and the author is not using Pearson’s… It would have been nice to have a methods section going over the actual tests used.

    Really quite a good read, and lots of charts to review. There was also a lot of explanations about assumptions, and really tried to understand what the question actually is.

    My question is, does women watching porn affect what they want?
