Thread: Opinions on Porn.

Porn is an outlet. I turned to it when my marriage when downhill.

I am now recently divorced and am in the beginnings of a relationship with another. I believe my sex life with her will be far more fulfilling if I refrain from viewing porn. I want to have hot sex with my woman, not jerk off to an image on a computer screen.

But, if I didn't have a partner, like many don't, I would definitely use porn. I'm thankful to have a girlfriend and an infinitely more meaningful outlet for my sexuality than a freaking computer screen.

If you have a partner that turns you on you don't need porn...it's boring after a while, all the same stuff. Stay away from it, your better off.

I have found this to be true.

I disagree with this. You might have a partner that turns you on, but just doesn't have as high of a sex drive as you do.

Okay, you have to say this because your wife might be listening, but just between us guys, where do you hide it so she can't find it?

Easy for you to say, if you HAVE a partner. For those of us without a partner I'd say it was almost essential.

Porn is just a fantasy, much like how you use your imagination to get off in private. As long as you remember it isn't real and that most people aren't that way, I think you're safe. It's when people become addicted to the fantasy that there are problems.

I don't agree that it coarsens our society or brings down our morals. Porn is a fantasy that people are already having being put into media. There are a lot of things that turn me on and a lot of things that don't. Porn doesn't change my preferences it just gives me access to the things I like.

I've watched porn with my partners. It's fun!

you seem to have way more conversations with your neighbor about their sex lives than anyone i have ever heard. what an interesting neighborhood you live in.

Speaking as a male who watches a fair amount I don't really see a problem with it if people are simply using it to spice up their relationship or as an aid to masturbation. However I don't like how it can send unrealistic images about sex if it falls into the wrong hands, mainly younger people. It also obviously has a tendency to objectify women so that also is a problem when looked at from immature/younger eyes. I think the issue is like giving a little child an M rated video game. Are they going to be able to distuingish between reality and hollywood? Are they going to be able to watch it and not let it twist and objectify their view on sex and women? But then again porn has corrupted a lot of adult minds too.....It depends in my mind.

MHO is what it does to kids it also does to adults. Many times men get unrealistic expectations from watching it too much. I think using your imagination is better than porn for masturbation.
