Are Visual Stimuli Different For Men And Women?

What exactly makes women tick sexually.

POSTED BY ANNA GRAHAM

It is often said that men are visual beings and are stimulated by what they see' or some other variant of the same saying. Still, the question is, is it simply a case of men being visual beings while women are not, or do visual stimuli differ? No data support the claim that men are more visual creatures than women. It would seem, if anything, a fallacy of generalization repeated so often that it is starting to feel like a fact. 

Various studies have established over time that women are visual beings as well. Women get stimulated by what they see as much as men do. It is no news that both sexes get visibly aroused by their sexual partner stripping. This post will explore the different types of visual stimuli. There are and how men and women react to them in a bid to understand what gets women going visually. 

Why Are Women Not Big Porn Consumers the Most Typical Visual Stimuli?

The porn industry has been a reference point to support the men are visual beings' theory simply because they are the demography that consumed porn more. In light of the recent establishment of women being just as visually stimulated as men, several suggestions have been made as to why men are the demography that consumes porn more. 

At the forefront of these suggestions is that more pornographic videos are made with men in mind. It is not a case of gender bias but rather a matter of most porn creators being male. Thus, they better understand male sexuality and create with that in mind. Often, their ideas of what gets women off are inaccurate. 

Another reason for this variation in the consumption of porn by men and women is the societal perception of female sexuality. In many cultures and countries worldwide, the chastity culture is deeply ingrained in the female. It is the basis of her entire upbringing. She is expected not to have sexual desires or to suppress them if they exist. Thus, many women have learned not to explore their sexuality; the world of erotica is, therefore, strange to them. It is even considered shameful for women to consume erotica in more conservative cultures.

What Visual Stimuli Do Women Respond To?

There have been several debates and experiments in the quest to know what exactly makes women tick sexually and how it differs for men in terms of visual stimulation. Some scientists compared the responses of men and women to different varieties of porn by measuring the arousal in the genitals to measure what aroused each person objectively. The results from the experiment were entirely unexpected and disruptive to previously held beliefs.

How Exactly Do the Visual Stimuli Differ?

A comparison of the results showed that women responded to a wide range of visual stimulation compared to men. Interestingly, women responded sexually to lesbian, heterosexual and even gay sex. It will seem then that women are even more visual beings, going by that logic. In contrast, the heterosexual men in the experiment only responded to porn featuring men-women sex and, more so, those with women featured in a particular way.

Hence, we can conclude that both sexes are stimulated visually, with women responding to a broader range of stimuli. Effectively to answer the frequent sex question posed in this article, yes, visual stimulation differs for men and women.

How Is This Valuable Information to the Adult Industry?

Currently, Women not consuming porn more despite being responsive to a broader range of visual stimuli can only mean one thing. There is a supply gap in the market. The traditional porn industry is not fulfilling the sexual needs of women. It is barely fulfilling that of men, meaning we must provide alternatives for sexual pleasure. 

Camming bridges the gap in the adult industry. It gives room for visual stimuli suited to your needs. The two-way interaction allows for feedback and personalisation of the consumer's needs. With camming, both men and women can get all the visual stimulation for those incredible, mind-shattering orgasms.

Camming is, simply put, the adult industry’s equivalent of visual stimuli on steroids. It allows you to explore all sexual desires, fantasies and fetishes while maximising arousal. All these are better yet provided in a safe space. Watching a girl strip on cam is arousing for both sexes; what's better if you get to watch them in your comfort zone?
