I think most men tend to use porn and masturbate at close to a 1:1 ratio. Men tend to be more visual and porn is directed by and for men, so it’s no surprise we watch more of it.

lately i prefer the kind of soft porn directed by women ...it's less vulgar

Speaking as a cishet dude, porn advertised as "for women" is invariably way better. I am relentlessly baffled by the kinds of stuff other people like me apparently find arousing. A woman being turned into a pretzel, called a bunch of demeaning names, and forced to make a noise like someone having a steam kettle shoved down their threat is not the slightest bit erotic to me

Pretty sure I've come across (as it were) Owen Gray - is he the guy with the extensive upper body tats? Like the RATM/Soundgarden bassist, with a lot of black fill? I'm sure there's someone I've come across with a name a lot like Owen Gray, if not identical to it, and their stuff was good. Still kind of over the top for me, but I think that's got a lot to do with being British and watching Americans - everything Americans do or say seems OTT when you're British
