Porn – a word that titillates excitement and fear at the same time. Most Indians, especially men, watch it, fantasize about it, but talk — well only in hushed tones and behind closed doors.
So is watching porn only a male thing? Do women watch porn?
Well yes! Women are human too and sex is a carnal desire — present both in men and women. India is the third largest consumer of Pornhub, the largest pornographic site on the internet and viewership among Indian women has seen a steady rise on the site over the years. Reason being, women are increasingly becoming more aware about their sexuality and sexual needs and are not holding back from watching and experimenting with sex.
Last week, we had our weekly #WomenOnTheMove chat over at Twitter, where we discussed whether India is ready to accept that women also have sexual desires and watching porn is not only the prerogative of men but women enjoy watching it as much as them. This is what they said.

We need to break the taboo and start talking about it. The more we think about people’s opinions, the more we lose out on our own agencies. — Kasturi Patra (@PatraKasturi) August 16, 2017

About time India comes to term with the fact that for one: women are human beings who have sexual needs and two: women are not here to facilitate and only take care of male desires!

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Menopause is a reality in women's lives, so Indian workplaces need to gear up and address women's menopausal needs.
Picture this: A seasoned executive at the peak of her career suddenly grapples with hot flashes and sleep disturbances during important meetings. She also battles mood swings and cognitive changes, affecting her productivity and confidence. Eventually, she resigns from her job.
Fiction? Not really. The scenario above is a reality many women face as they navigate menopause while meeting their work responsibilities.
Menopause is the time when a woman stops menstruating. This natural condition marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition brings unique physical, emotional, and psychological changes for women.
