Women often consume different erotica, which is less video/hardcore based. Romance/erotic romance novels seems to be a growing market.

I do think more women avoid porn/erotica due to this 'disgust' towards porn in society.

Any remaining gap, I would assume is genuinely due to women having a lower libido.

Indeed. My wife and friends in the same industry make quite a good living off of romance novel writing. Women have their erotica, but it's more 'in your head' kind of stuff, than the visual market of porn for men.
The best selling book of 2012 was erotica :)
