"Watch" implies visual media, but in my experience women read tons of smut while men tend to enjoy photos and videos. You need to include smut to make it interesting, I think, because that might at least leave some doubt as to the outcome.

In my limited experience, a lot of women also refuse to categorize their smut as porn. It's just a "romance novel". Or "fan fiction". So that makes including reading difficult.

Nah, erotica is a separate category from books with sex.

I love, love , love the Kushiel's Dart trilogy, and it's got sex, violence, violent sex and sexual violence, but I read it for the story, the sex in the books serves the story.

Erotica I would look at BDSMErotica on Reddit, or on Literotica, those stories I would use more like guys use visual porn,
