My God… What Does She Want?
by KarenJ copyright 2001 When it comes to porn itself, women's needs and wants can be very different to mainstream, "normal" content. To break it down into specific elements... The Dick. It may be stating the obvious, but women love looking at dicks. The penis has been hidden away for too long, and female surfers are keen to see some unadulterated cock. Curiosity, as well as sexual urges, plays a part here. Storylines. It's far more satisfying to see a sexual encounter played out from the beginning than to simply leap straight into penetration. With naked men this may mean a slow removal of clothes. With couples pics, this means foreplay, kissing and afterglow (although you will search a long time to find pics that feature the latter) RKF - Romance, Kissing, Foreplay. If you have pics that feature these elements, they are perfect for women. Personality and context. It's not enough to simply show sex or naked men. The female surfer wants to know who it is they're looking at, and why they're doing what they're doing. They want to see enjoyment, and some kind of connection between the people on screen. Women don't want to just have sex with a penis. They want to have sex with a man. A focus on women's pleasure. That means plenty of cunnilingus, acknowledgement of the existence of the clitoris, and attention to non-genital erogenous zones. This also means setting the tone of the site, to say that women come first, and a woman's desires and needs are paramount. An example of this is a reversal of the mainstream porn power play, where men are portrayed as being at the sexual disposal of women (yes, that's a little sexist, but we're in the realm of fantasy here). Exploration of women's fantasies, whether that be the perennial Fireman fantasy, or some more extravagant idea. Nice facial expressions. Ideally, this means both partners look as though they're enjoying every minute of it. This usually means closed eyes and ecstatic looks. It does not mean staring straight at the camera. Respect for women. Female surfers seek out 4women sites because they find the tone of many mainstream sites to be insulting towards women. Ideally, a site that is disrespectful towards women treats them as "holes", doesn't care about their pleasure, and portrays women as stupid whores that need a good fucking. Ideally a 4women site should avoid this. Reality. Whether it's checking out amateur pics that average guys have sent in, or thinking that what's happening in the picture could really happen in every day life, it often helps if your pics have an element of reality to them. If it's not a fantasy sequence, then you need to keep your content "normal". What do I mean by that? Well, lets say you should avoid content featuring the big-haired bottle blonde in 6 inch heels and fake tits, who drives a red sports car and wants to fuck all the time. Women will be too busy saying "my God, she looks so 80's" to bother with feeling turned on. You need to pick content that will reflect the surfer back at themselves; that lets them imagine themselves in the picture. What women don't want (and I may come in for flak here.

Something to remember: Just because women like the idea of romance and don't want to see facials doesn't mean they don't love the idea of hardcore porn. They're keen to see penetration as much as any man, and the promise of hardcore contributes to paysite sales. Nonetheless, it's important to keep in mind the idea that context is vital. A set of photos showing foreplay and leading into a couple of hardcore pics beats 200 penetration shots on their own.
