At this stage in my life, I know more women that consume porn than men and a good reason for that is the sheer variety.
All I know is that having followed a great number of the actresses on Twitter the last few years, the majority that stick around are doing it for a lot of reasons and really enjoy it. Especially now that more and more of the studios and businesses are being run by women, directed by women, and written by women.
Realistically, it comes down to what you look for and consume. If you just go random, yeah, you'll find some disturbing stuff. But hey, we all have different tastes.
As Warren mentions above, one "trusted" source indicated that anything going in the woman's mouth was violence toward her. You can't take people seriously that operate with that kind of agenda.
Porn has opened up a whole lot for myself and my partners over the years, especially when some things that are very basic they viewed as "scary and wrong" only to find that it's pretty damn common.
and honestly, if the women you're seeing look like they hate it, you're either watching really wrong stuff or you're completely misunderstanding it.
For the record, I do consume a lot of porn (and used to consume more for work purposes) and actively pay for mine through sites like blacked, tushy, vixen, x-art, and a few others. I'm 45 and have been watching since I was probably twelve or so on some old VHS tapes my father used to dupe after renting them.
Yet here I am, a father of two teenage girls, in a very happy relationship, able to deal with a wide range of things and not porn-obsessed. Even better is that the consumption and being exposed to so many things makes me a lot more relaxed and mellow about so many other things. When you've seen thousands upon thousands of dicks over the years, well, watching politics is a breeze at that point. And it's hard to get riled up about other things.
