Women's pornography
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Heterosexual men are, of course, aware that the female sexuality portrayed in men's magazines reflects male fantasy ore than female reality, just as heterosexual women are aware that the happy endings of stories in romance magazines exist largely in the realm of fantasy."--The Evolution of Human Sexuality (1979), p. 293 |

Women-oriented pornography is sometimes referred to as sex-positive pornography. Women's porn is often produced by women and aimed specifically at the female market – rejecting the view that men are turned on by porn, but women only by a box of chocolates.
In the 1980s, Susie Bright pointed out that "[women's pornography] is a contradiction in terms for many people, so convinced are they that pornography represents the darker, gutter side of lust."
Since that date, women have become accepted as a growing market when it comes to pornography.
