eh, it is hard to say who is "on top" metaphorically in most adult entertainment, but I would say there tends to be a bias towards women pleasing men, and women being pleased by pleasuring men. Or perhaps the women are wanting what the director thinks male viewers want, rather than what a female viewer may want. I don't want to say that females want only soft core or non-kinky/fetish sex because i know to the contrary many men who are far less kinky than their girlfriends. I also think many girls are naturally into fetishes and kinky sex outside of the "male desire to have their girlfriend be GGG- good, giving and game." Many women enjoy wierd fetish sex, but i always feel like most porn is indeed made for males who are into domination and into contrallable and sexy women without individual personalities. Some female domination porn (haven't investigated much) seems to be focused on how the male feels and how hot the female is, not how much she enjoys what is going on. By this i mean, a female actress will say 'oh baby,etc," but this seems more like ego stroking the male rather than an actual pleasurable exclaimation. None of this is by any means definitive, but i think there seems to be a cycle of serving male fantasies and alienating women, thus killing the female target population for the product, thus making the male the main customer for porn.
All of this porn stuff i think is more an underlying issue with our culture's stereotypes of men and women rather than just our ideas about sex.
