A lot of them are trans. I am guessing there are some cis lesbians, but I actually think a fair few might be straight men. Saw a post on AL just now while trying to find this post, that was like "I'm a lesbian what are some good lesbian pornos" I mean a lesbian could've written that but you gotta wonder.

It looks like they are doing a demographics survey so maybe there'll be some actual numbers on it?

Well I'm het so maybe this is a tone deaf question but what kind of a lesbian goes on a sub to find good porno ? Seems kind of... Not very likely.

You're okay! That's a fair question, lol. I actually have only recently started to comment at all, I used to only lurk-- so I don't really know who goes on subs to ask people about porn at all, period, haha. You're right, it's not very likely. But I always try to give the benefit of the doubt.

Lesbians, as a group, seem more against porn, as well. Partly because of how objectifying ("male-gaze-y") and unrealistic the whole "lesbian porn genre" is, and partly because a significant group of lesbians are against the porn industry overall.

edit: I probably could've better phrased my first comment, I just realized-- "I mean, it could've been written by a lesbian" rather than "a lesbian could've written that", the second implies higher likelihood.
