Is it norm to watch porn?

rollng_thundr

My doctor told me I had to stop watching porn.







Because he was trying to give me a check up at the time.

I laffed so hard and loud that my coworkers lifted their heads from the collective trough to see what the excitement was about....

Me being open minded I find nothing wrong with it. I believe men and woman watch it as much the same.Well...not really lol I kind of think women watch it more than men

Girl, I agree with you here! I know I watch it more than my husband does & he still seems shocked when I start a sentence with, "OMG, I was watching this porn the other day, and..."

Porn is normal to watch. IDC what kind of porn it is, everyone has their own fetishes.

Getcho freak on! :drinker:

I agree with the shock factor. They act like if we just told them we're pregnant or something lol

I have a little different opinion than most on this..... Porn is all about control and usually puts women in a submissive position along with the fact that it does objectify them. Even more so for guys all guys will sit and compare themselves to what they see and most will have a love hate relationship where they become more and more fixated and insecure about their size, performance, and body image. Porn is a business and as a business money is the center point of everything. Stop watching porn and get some game and go get the real thing;)

Love to see the studies to support your broad, sweeping generalizations about "all guys" and "most guys," not to mention the dismissal of folks on a committed relationship who watch porn without it negatively impacting their relationships.

abnormal to not watch porn, thats what the internet is for. something like 38% of the internet is specificly porn.

stuart160

Sure..

OhhNiff

I think it's fine to watch porn, but better to make your own. :bigsmile:

I like it. It's fun to watch with your spouse. You have to define your own sense of "normal" when it comes to porn I think.

KameHameHaaa

I watch porn, ALOT, everyday. But honestly, I watch a lot of porn bloopers. That *kitten* is hilarious (and sometimes nasty).

studies show that not watching porn increases test levels by approximately 35%

PSMTD

Anyone who says they don't watch porn is lying.... or hasn't discovered the internet.

I think it's completely normal and a good way to learn about what you're into or new things to try. I don't think there's anything wrong with looking at porn whether you're married or not.

Where'd you get that from? I did a quick google and found the opposite is true.

Gonna be awkward in the gym on Tuesday. "Darren, is that an erection?" "Yep, watching porn boosts testosterone levels. I'm ready to lift." :laugh:

TygerDawn

Totally normal, everyone has at least tried it once

kershaann

Ain't a thing wrong with porn!

It's the nearest I'll ever get to the real thing! Thank God for virus checkers!!!

I think it is normal to be sexual.... I don't think it is "healthy" to watch large amounts of porn. 10 to 20 years ago therapist were telling people to explore their sexuality and enhance their relationships by watcting porn. Now porn is mainstream in society and there are many negative effects from this movement....

It puts unrealistic expectations on relationships and sexual experiences... And it keeps women small. We are so much more than an objectified woman moaning on a screen.

I am not judging anyone, just My opinion

Peas and Corn = Porn?

petecassa

I own a UK webcam/porn business so I'm in favour of everyone watching it, especially my site! ;o)

On a serious note though, there is far too much porn on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook which is too easily accessible to underage people. It shouldn't be a dark secret but it needs to be cleaned up and monitored a lot more than it is now. Maybe it's just my world and my social circles but it seems to be far too 'in your face' these days.

When I used to work in the porn industry, everyone had a good time. There's this misconception that it's all seedy drug-fueled organized crime stuff, and while that probably exists, it's not common. In reality, it's just a bunch of people paid to have sex, and some people who get paid to film others having sex, and others who get paid to upload the videos of those people having sex. The performers got paid, the camera crew got paid, the website people got paid, and we'd all go out bowling afterward.

Bowling.

I dare you to think of any hypothetical scenario that is "morally wrong" where all of the participants go out bowling afterward. Go on, come up with something. Nothing? That's because if bowling is involved, it's conclusive evidence that nobody was traumatized, abused, or mistreated as a result.

You worked for a great company that was the exception and have you looked at your gender.

There has been extensive studies on this and interviewing to back what I said up....but I also used to work in porn.

We didn't go bowling.

that's quite a silly question.

Pornography creates a false ideal that can impact men psychologically and, by proxy, physiologically. It creates a feeling of extreme inadequacy due to all of the male actors having giant members, which only a small portion of the male population possess, and the extreme intensity and length of duration that the actors seem to be able to achieve. And it also teaches men to be poor lovers by rushing things, paying little attention to oral copulation, assuming every girl is always ready for backdoor, etc.

Men are essentially portrayed as a giant penis with legs, giving the impression that they dont matter and are only good for the pleasure of the female gender.

Make me go without for 24 hours and that's pretty much dead on. :ohwell:

You make jokes, but there are male actors out there daily being told to stfu and being forcefed viagra and drugs to perform to the directors standards.

ACTUALLY most of the time it's the women that get portrayed as submissives. The most common thing for women getting into the industry is for them to be taken into a seedy back room where they are filled in every hole without consent for hours while the male actors get to change over, if she cries she has to start again until they get a great film.

Umm that sounds like rape to me. And if your describing at type of porn, it's the type I've never seen.

It doesn't look like rape on tape, ever. That's just how it is, you can do your research if you like. There is a lot of stuff out there, some people have great experiences but there are a great lot that don't and unfortunately that's the majority, not to mention the studies to back up what I said earlier but hey, MFP doesn't do social justice and intelligent conversations, it just say ooh yes I like sex or I don't. It's just the way the majority of the world is, everyone lives with their head in the sand. I am just putting another side out there, as I do with somethings.

But porn is harmless right? Just watching people have sex...

That's not an argument against porn, it's an argument in favour of stricter control and safeguards, e.g. legislation to ensure that people know what they're getting into, that they consent, etc. Which is also an argument in favour of legalising it, because you can't have that kind of control over the black market of anything. I believe Germany legalised prostitution for this reason, i.e. prostitutes can have legal protection, legal representation, and the government can make regulations for the safety of everyone concerned and intervene if pimps/brothels aren't treating the prostitutes right.

Does plugging yourself silly with a plastic, battery operated phallus after reading 50 Shades of Grey count?

NO
that's not porn
that's just trash

emkayelle91

Idk if it's 'normal' but I watch porn almost everyday which I guess is odd for a woman. It might be bc I'm highly sexual and it helps lol I also would be perfectly fine with a significant other watching porn as long as it doesn't interfere with the real thing.

mank32

No. Watching may be normal but, it is not good. This is because it develops unrealistic expectations in a relationship. The viewer probably will not be able to look as good or do the things the actors are doing.

Besides, it's a moral issue as well. Why should a married man fantasize about sex with another woman?

:noway: :noway: :noway:
Wow, guy. just wow.

don't watch X-men movies: you'll never be a mutant--and anyway you'll never be able to look as good as the stars on the silver screen. don't want any unrealistic expectations creeping up on that fragile little mind of yours. just stop going to movies altogether. better turn the TV off too.

and fantasizing about someone other than your spouse? i can't even...
you do know what "fantasy" means, right?? :frown:

Perhaps, my point is just that the very legal porn industry is run this way in many parts of the LEGAL world. No black market here. New Zealand has legal prostitution too, I have seen what that has done, there are now 14 year old prostitutes, not that this is legal, but it became easier. Just sticking another side to the coin out there. I am saying I don't watch porn and this is why, there are whole communities of people who do not watch porn not for religious reasons but for others. The question was asked, so I answered.

I also pointed out the studies that have shown the links to porn and rape culture.

But as I have said before and will say again My fitness pal even in Chat is not ready and not open to intellectual and social justice type issues. I also know that it's my buzz and I probably should just keep away.

Sex is so naughty. Naughty, naughty, naughty. Bad, bad, bad. Must stop pleasure. Stamp it out.
