Do you watch or download Porn online?

[Starfire]

I can see why men are addicted, because that was how I was raised: how to please a man and thus, know what usually goes on in the brain.

Men aren’t addicted, a small percentage may be, along with others who are obsessive or compulsive viewers. Incidentally there are women who fit in those categories too.

The sad and awful circumstances in which you, and others, were raised is thankfully a million miles from how the vast majority are raised. The brains of those that raised you are also in a tiny percentage. What went on in those brains, is in no way “what usually goes on in the brain.”

There's nothing wrong with having a sexuality of your own. What your father did was horrendous, but men really aren't all like that. I don't like this mentality of "women need to please me sexually". You're whole. You are probably very repressed and need to let go. Your body is normal and natural, it's what you were born with. Your body is yours and it's a complex thing. Even if you think you're plain, it's all the more reason to think that it's amazing.

I was clarifying a question that was asked. I make no representation either way as to what I watch. My porn-watching habits are personal to me.

 

[Mary Anne]

Topic.

No, I don't apart from Googling "naughty" pics of soap babes, Marge Simpson, and the wives from the Flintstones.

IMO Porn is for sad people who don't "get any" from their partners.

So how about you lot?

What does ones sexual affinity have to do in a survey asking if one watches porn? If you put “bi” in there, then why no homosexual/ lesbian question? This has nothing to do with your porn watching survey.

Looks like you're a sad pathetic person who can't get none from a partner then Rich, because you look at porn.

 

[Quart]

He could do, if he knew what to do.

I still have my V plates at 30 but this is through no fault of my own. I'd find obliging feminine company no problem if it wasn't for my circumstances which I won't go into.

 

[ksheehan88]

And yes, I watch porn. I love watching porn. There's so much online that I'm interested in that you can't get from a partner.

 

[ksheehan88]

I'm a virgin at 30 but this is through no fault of my own. I'd get laid no problem if it wasn't for my circumstances which I won't go into.

Of course, he could.

My point is, he's hypocritical in his looking down on people.

I prefer text. The mind is a powerful thing. I see women all the time - why would I need to see body parts...? A tender presence and a willing demeanour is all that's needed.

 

[WildCat]

No, porn isn't for "sad people who can't get any", wrestling isn't for gay men and so forth. Come on now, that's pretty narrow thinking, plenty of possibilities for why people do the things they do. If you'd simply ask or look around instead of generalizing you might learn something new.

Do I watch it? No, mainly because I get little to nothing out of it, because I've got other things to do and most of it is pretty unrealistic as far as hitting the sheets goes. Not all of it...now that we've got ordinary folks doing their own thing and uploading to the internet (much like Youtube), but the stuff on the market or in the convenience store? Don't go down the path of thinking that's what it's like, because it isn't.

Men aren’t addicted,

Can't agree with this statement, because evidence presents itself to be quite the contrary. Of course, not every single male is addicted, but a great many are.

Words are both powerful and just words; depending on the mental make up of the person and for me, I have always been ashamed of how I look and despite having a husband who is very complimentary, despite my huge imperfect self, it does not make me feel good in my own body and so prefer to cover myself up.

You have taken one small part of a sentence out of context! Here is the complete sentence as you clearly didn’t read it in full.

“Men aren’t addicted, a small percentage may be, along with others who are obsessive or compulsive viewers.”

I’d also be very interested to look at your evidence rather than rely on opinion or hearsay. Would you provide a link which demonstrates peer reviewed work on the percentage of men addicted to porn please I’d be interested to view the presented evidence.

Addiction is a strong word.

Enjoying something on a regular basis, even everyday, does not an addict make. Addiction is far more complicated than that.

What can I say? The main point is that I made a case. I would provide further gentle exploration and analysis but I understand that you prefer I cease. It's OK.

No.

I get plenty from my partner, and we have watched porn together.

Sounds like an interesting activity.
My problem is most ways of sexualizing are really huge turn offs for me. I think i want to watch porn regularly

If one can go without watching porn, then of course it is not an addiction. But many chaps have said that they cannot go a day without watching and get very sneaky with their partner and refuse intimacy with them, because of how they perceive things.

@Suzanne

You have been conditioned to believe that men are not responsible for controlling their sexual desires. This is resoundingly and totally false. It's calumnious in fact. No woman or man is responsible for satisfying the sexual wishes of another person. You are not an accessory; you are a person entire in your own right and you should not think any different.
