With masturbation seemingly at an all-time high due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we decided to find out the kind of porn Nigerians are watching to help get themselves off during these stressful times.
So, we asked 7 Nigerians to summarise their porn history for us — from the first one they ever watched to what they’re into at the moment — and the answers were quite interesting.
Tayo, 28/Male/Straight
I was 12 the first time I watched porn. It was at a classmate’s house, with about 6 other boys. It was actually pretty exciting at first, but I had to run out of the room when my boner got too intense. I was also scared that we would get caught.
My porn tastes haven’t really changed much over the years. I typically watch white porn with thick women, but when I’m bored I try other stuff. I’ve tried gay porn, but I couldn’t get into it. I also had a trans woman phase, where I’d look for the ones with huge dicks.
In the past 4 years or so, I’ve really been into stepmom and stepson porn. I think I’m either drawn to the forbidden nature of it, the perceived age difference, or both. When I was a teenager, I fantasised about being with a mature woman on the low.
Maryam, 24/Female/Straight
I think I was about 16 or 17 the first time I ever watched porn, and I was utterly appalled by it. I was a virgin at the time and I’d been raised to think it was wrong. I even remember storming out of a room when they started playing it.
All that has changed. I’m now a lot more liberal, and my tastes show that. I love gay porn. The men have a lot of passion and they are much better actors than the people in straight porn. I also have a love-hate relationship with hentai (anime porn) — it’s simultaneously sexy and sexist.
Bayo 25/Male/Gay
I was 14 the first time I watched porn, and my tastes have been pretty consistent since then. More than anything, I need my porn to have a good storyline. I hate when it’s only been a few seconds and everyone is already naked. I need context. I need a backstory.
Even though the acting is usually very terrible, I can still appreciate the effort of a relatively coherent story. That’s why I really like Twitter porn. Even though it’s never more than 2 minutes, the caption always gives you enough context to work with.
Ifeoma, 30/Female/Bisexual
I don’t actually remember the first time I ever watched porn. The first time I actively sought it out, however, I was about 20. It was so exhausting. I quickly figured out the things I didn’t like and didn’t want to see, but it took about a year to figure out what I did like.
Over the years, my porn tastes have evolved as my sex tastes have. I’ve recently gotten really into BDSM and pain, so my porn searches have mirrored that. For me porn acts as an amplifier — it turns me on the quickest when I want to masturbate.
It’s also a great way for me to experience things I know I have no interest in doing in real life, while also mirroring things I actually do like. For example, I have no interest in being part of a gang bang, but gangbang porn mirrors my desire to be “filled” during sex.
Ope 24/Male/Straight
I was 11 when I first found some of my uncle’s porn CDs. One had white people having sex on a boat, and the other one was beastiality porn. I had already seen my other uncle having sex when I was 7, so the first CD didn’t shock me. The other one, however, did.
Right now, I’m into a category called ghetto gaggers. It’s a bit racist — it shows white men treating black women like trash — but that’s not what turns me on. It’s the willingness of these women to consent to being treated like that. That just does something to me.
Sarah, 28/Female/Straight
I was 13 the first time I ever watched porn. I discovered my mother’s collection and was in complete shock. I ended up watching the entire thing in secret over the course of 3 months. It was a wide range, and it’s the reason I’ve seen basically every genre.
After that, the internet became more widespread and we got a home computer. At odd hours, I’d just go through different porn sites. Funny enough, I don’t think I ever watched anything that aroused me until I started having sex. It was mostly for fun.
I was addicted at some point, but it didn’t give me unrealistic expectations or affect my actual sex life; in fact, I learned how to do some things before I got to do them. And as for my preferred categories, I’m currently into monster porn because I like seeing women dominated.
Teni, 23/Female/Bisexual
I got introduced to lesbian porn when I was pretty young. I would use the family computer to watch beautiful women make out and pleasure each other. I wasn’t even sure why I liked it, but I eventually began trying what they were doing on myself and others.
After lesbian porn, I discovered BDSM and cuckolding. Then I somehow got into more weird stuff like incest porn and rape porn. I also discovered gay porn, which I love. There’s just something really beautiful about watching men make love.
Recently, I have found that I can only watch lesbian porn. I just got out of a two-year relationship that I was very invested in. He cheated on me, and I had to end things. Since then, I’ve found it very hard to watch heterosexual sex or even think about it.
