What Happened When Three Women Watched Porn For The First Time The first time can be so awkward — and hilarious. Women who have never watched porn view adult film classics like “Deep Throat” and “Debbie Does Dallas” in this BuzzFeed video. Their reactions range from amusement to disbelief — “that’s got to be fake.” The video cites a study indicating that just 8 percent of women have seen pornography online. But perhaps the other 92 percent should reconsider. According to a small social media survey of its followers by sex toy company Ann Summers, couples who watched X-rated films together said they felt more committed. And 85 percent of women said porn helped them escape. If sexual release is the goal, there’s more good news: Dr. Lauren Streicher, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University and author of “Sex Rx: Hormones Health And Your Best Sex Ever,” says masturbation helps women sleep, de-stress and be more comfortable with their bodies.
