[women] they just aren't turned on as much by that as they are by the written word
This is a common belief, but I'm not that sure it's true.
Women are turned on by different things than men. In general, a woman can be turned on by a man who is self-confident and charismatic, or by the feeling of social status and economic safety. If you wanna make porn for women, you
need to convey those elements. The problem is that actors that can convey that, they're not gonna get into porn, neither are directors that can create those feelings in a movie. I can't imagine Spielberg or the Cohen brothers doing porn anytime soon.
On the other hand, if you wanna shoot some boobs and pussies (which is what porn for men requires), you only need an actress with enough IQ to take her clothes off, and a camera that can tell the difference between "rec" and "stop". Not exactly the highest qualifications.
I don't think that women are not turned on by porn. I think that what happens is that porn for women would require a degree of quality both in actors and directors that isn't available in the genre. Porn for women simply doesn't exist, and I don't mean some softcore feminist porn, but real porn for women.
