“You don't have to spend what's supposed to be a good time dreading something ‘bad’ happening later on. “You can know, quickly and easily, what you're getting with GIFs,” says Leigh, a 34-year-old singer from New York. “I can focus on one gesture or look from the performers that feels authentic.” As a bisexual trans woman, Lucy says heterosexual porn works when she can project herself onto the experience of the woman, something that’s easier with GIFs: “ distill that into one repeated action or moment that's much easier to get into than a whole video.” “I like that cut a lot of the fakeness out of porn, which usually takes me out of the experience,” says Lucy, 28, an office coordinator in the Southwest.
In reality, many do-we just might not be as into the content being offered by the mainstream industry. If anything, it proves just the opposite, smashing the theory that women don’t enjoy porn. In that way, the porn GIF community on Tumblr isn’t unlike the world of erotic fiction, which also works against the myth that women are less horny, dirty, and sexually imaginative than men. Caroline poked around to find more clips like it-all soundless, looped, and sensually erotic-clicking on different tags based on her mood, each one revealing more and more sexual GIFs, like hot digital nesting dolls. Then one day as Caroline was scrolling through her Tumblr timeline, she saw a porn GIF, one she describes as “soft-core” and “artsy.” She liked how the repetitive format managed to harness the moment that turns you on, and was then simplified and suspended in time: A woman’s O-face perpetually crinkled in pleasure, the semen in a cum-shot forever arching out into space. Frustrating, since women take more time to orgasm and a visual or audible interruption-no matter how seemingly minor-can cause us to have to start from scratch.
Even if she found a mainstream video she liked at first, something would usually end up going wrong, like fake-sounding breathing, cheesy music, or a “ Miami Vice narrative” that felt awkward and moment-killing. The 26-year-old didn’t grow up seeking it out and until five years ago hadn’t seen any without the nudge of a male partner. Caroline* started watching porn by accident.
