Many women seldomly if ever watch porn. That shit is so unrealistic. Men who watch way too much porn are sometimes impotent in the bedroom because they masturbate with an iron grip.
We read it more than we watch it, because the stories emphasize female pleasure. Sure, you have the ones where the male lead is legitimately a creepy stalker (and I've read a few), but the popularity of fanfic is that you live out your desire. I can attest there used to be a lot more rape - for that was a way to add tragedy to your female character - and the explicit fics have more consent, but what's notable is that there are fewer female leads across the board. Male centric romance fics outnumber female ones 2-1. And they're written by Gen Z enbies, so whatever.
I can also attest to watching porn (like most, exposed as a teen) but the newer shit is just...eugh. shit quality and most of the women are crying. It's only the vids featuring couples that actually has the woman enjoy it somewhat. Older porn actually used to try to have a plot. No more.
I’m fine w lit erotica but it’s often poorly written.
I’m also the kind of girl coomer who liked Geralt. I was fuckin awful at the game though.
Geralt is nice. I'm more of a Dragonslayer Ornstein girl myself. I like redheads.
Romance novels are the female equivalent of anime. Anyone who reads them deserves the exact same scorn. Not to mention most of them are just diet porn, anyway.
Oy Vey, you gotta find out about the foursomes between Noctis, Ignis, Prompto and Gladio. They're the most popular pairing.
It is also when I remember that women generally have low standards, as women are more likely to be ok with a man being overweight, hairy, and overall unhygienic. Women find pooping babies cute, women find brutish men cute. Women are biologically predisposed to find appeal in ugly things.
I hear men bitch all the time about women being "hypergamous" and having "too high standards" for not settling for their ugly, hairy fat asses. They can't even brush their goddamn teeth half the time. You need to check their teeth like a horse.
Brutish men are only appealing if they have a soft side to them, like secretly feeding stray cats or actually having a sense of honour. Basically we don't want them cruel, because they'll murder us.
