The overwhelming reason the women watched gay male porn was that they felt it was more authentic than other genres. However, 82 percent of participants preferred gay male pornography over other genres. The sample included straight, bisexual, lesbian, queer, asexual, pansexual, and demisexual women 68 percent of participants also watched heterosexual pornography, and 53 percent also watched lesbian pornography. The study detailed in the book investigated why exactly women are aroused by watching male-on-male sex by surveying 275 self-identified women who watch gay male porn. Women appear at a physiological level to find gay male sex just as arousing as heterosexual sex, according to Neville's research.
'Male gays in the female gaze: Women who watch m/m pornography,' by researcher Lucy Neville, drew research from a recent survey from adult film site PornHub. Research confirms that more than half of women who consume same-sex male pornography are watching it because they feel it is more authentic than other genres, according to a new study by London's Middlesex University.
