I think this is much more common in women than men.
Men are generally more visually driven in sexual arousal. Male sexual arousal is more strongly linked to novelty. New visuals = bigger dopamine spike. That makes genre hopping more rewarding, kind of like scrolling endlessly for “the next thing.”
Women, on the other hand, care more about context, story, emotional tone, and dynamics, so fewer genres can satisfy more deeply. Porn is also usually not treated as the primary masturbation aid by women as it is with men. Because of this, they watch porn less often and explore less genres when they do watch it. They usually just go back to the same genres that worked before.
Based on the science, your habits are very common among women. Don't let the comments fool you into thinking you're a weirdo, because you're not. Most of the comments here are written by men, and therefore their answers reflect their habits. So you're fine, and you're not alone.
