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.

A2 NO. It caters mostly to men. One reason could be women shy away from talking about watching porn. #WomenOnTheMove https://t.co/85WZwwkdTB — Akshata (@Awestruck_Aks) August 16, 2017

You might get judged for initiating discussion around it.”What kind of woman are you who talk porn?” 🙄😉#WomenOnTheMove — Shipra Trivedi (@trivediship) August 16, 2017

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!

If a woman insists on her prospective groom earning enough to keep her comfortable, she is not being “lazy”. She is just being practical, just like men!
When an actress described women as “lazy” because they choose not to have careers and insist on only considering prospective grooms who earn a lot, many jumped to her defence.
Many men (and women) shared stories about how “choosy” women have now become.
One wrote in a now-deleted post that when they were looking for a bride for her brother, the eligible women all laid down impossible conditions – they wanted the groom to be not more than 3 years older than them, to earn at least 50k per month, and to agree to live in an independent flat.
I came out of a dark trench in life. Here are a few things I learnt as I got on my feet again, and I want to share these with you.
This morning I was paying all the utility bills, like milk, electricity and newspapers. The bills came to around 5k. Maa asked if it’s too much. I brushed it off saying, this is absolutely fine.
Here is the thing. There was a time (not going into any details) when I wasn’t able to do it. Despite wanting to, so much. I have led sleepless nights worrying about money, during a specific period when I did not work. So, the ability to take care of your mother (my father is no more) though she has her own pension feels so good.
It’s not that your parents always need you. But just to be able to ease their lives is such a blessing.
