Real lesbians react to ‘lesbian’ porn

Fun fact: A lot of what is considered “lesbian” porn is designed to appeal to straight guys and features two straight women doing something vaguely adjacent to sex. This brand of porn is about as close to actual lesbian sex as Australia is to the North Pole.

For proof of this, behold what happens when a group of actual lesbians sits down and watches that crap. Their reactions run the gamut from stunned, laughing disbelief to lengthy explanations that what they’re watching has no bearing on reality. It’s hysterically funny and a healthy reminder that no matter what kind of porn you’re watching, it’s all fantasy. Unless you do happen to enjoy being penetrated by a high-heeled shoe. In which case, go for it. Do you, honey, do you!
