How Many Women Really Have Lesbian Fantasies?

When it comes to girl-on-girl fantasies, especially within porn, there’s an old-fashioned perception that it’s something produced to please straight men (seeing two women together? Hot!). But in an age where sexuality is becoming more fluid than ever, research suggests that the majority of women regularly fantasise about lesbian encounters; either during masturbation, sex or whilst watching porn.

The term ‘Lesbian’ has consistently been a top search on porn sites since the internet was born, with women being 445% more likely than men to search for ‘girl on girl’. Wowzers! If you needed more stats to convince you that women are getting in on the lesbian fantasy action, a study conducted by Justin Lehmiller revealed that 59% of straight women said they have had fantasies about having sex with other women. Another recent survey from the Boise State University found similar results, with 50% of straight female participants having had sexual fantasies that involve sex with women. Given that these studies didn’t include lesbian, bisexual or pansexual participants, it’s safe to assume that the girl-on-girl scene is much-loved amongst women - and we couldn’t be more thrilled. 

But what makes a truly authentic, hot lesbian sex scene in porn? 
The three magic ingredients are realism, genuine passion and chemistry. Let's delve deeper into each of these aspects.

Keep it Real!

Casting queer porn performers will make a huge difference. A woman who is genuinely attracted to other women will act much more naturally. She may already have off-screen experience with other women. This will give her more confidence with her scene partner and lead to authentic interactions and real lust. The good news is that many women have a thing for other girls, so the likelihood of your porn crush being into women is high!

Avoid the Male Gaze

One of the reasons that lesbian porn has a reputation to be fake and only catering to men is that there’s a plethora of porn films that were filmed by men, for men. This leads to a heterosexual male perspective and interactions that make every real lesbian watching shiver with discomfort. Watch out for porn directed by women / queers, from porn studios that are known for their queer-friendly content or for recommendations from queer peers.

A Great Physique Doesn’t Make a Great Sex Scene

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind having a bombshell cast getting down to it with each other!

But even putting the hottest women together won’t automatically result in an incredible lesbian porn scene. Chemistry, however, will. Some porn studios, such as Joybear Pictures, have already understood that it’s worth asking performers who their girl crushes are and casting for their lesbian scenes accordingly. When searching for porn couples with good chemistry, one good indicator is to check if two actresses work with each other repeatedly. If they have a lot of scenes together, one can hope that they enjoy having sex with each other and already know each other’s sweet spots and kinks quite well. And, trust me, this will show on screen!

Here are a few examples of lesbian porn films that combine beautiful filming, hot performers and authentic chemistry:
