But this survey delivers another interesting observation. If lesbian sex is one of the main research sites sites pornographic films , it is mostly men.

Only 17% of women have ever seen two lovers make love , or wish to do so. Among men, two-thirds of respondents say the same thing. The gap is obvious.

As far as the practices represented on the screen are concerned, these gentlemen show even more enthusiasm than women. Where 55% of women would like to see cunnilingus unfold, 72% of men want it. And this subject is, by far, the most consensual.
