The internet has given sexual freedom to women - and they want the world to know it. According to Pornhub, the world's largest adult website, South Africa ranks among the top 10 nations with the highest proportion of female visitors to the site.On average, 24% of the website's visitors worldwide are women.South African women account for 35% of all the country's visitors to the site.Sexologist Dr Eve, whose real name is Marlene Wasserman, said women are increasingly using online porn to fuel their sexual fantasies.She said: "The reality is that more and more women are watching porn."Respondents in my research [which only looked at women] have said they are watching porn up to five times a day."Women go onto porn sites to track their sexual fantasies. They keep looking until they find something they enjoy."The top search on Pornhub for 2015, by both men and women, was lesbian sex."Threesomes" and "squirting" rounded out the women's top three searches.Men's other favourite searches were "step mom", "teen" and milf.Wasserman said: "What they are watching is a woman with a woman. They are doing that because that is the way they are getting around. This tells you that women are not really asking for what they want from their partners, which [involves] less penetration and more oral stimulation and more overall body play."Pornhub has some advice for straight men: "Searches like 'guy licking p***y' and 'man eating p***y' are searched for over 930% more by women than men."So basically, if you're still trying to figure out what women want, it's that."..
