Hey folks. Maybe this has been beaten to death, but here's another perspective.
Ladies who don't like the fact guys like porn: I have a question. Ever owned a cat or a dog that went into heat? Ever been by the monkey cage at the zoo? What happens? "Line up, boys!" That's what happens, isn't it?
The more males mate with the receptive female, the greater the chance for conception, procreation and perpetuating the species. Males respond to the presence of sexual visual stimulus by being turned on themselves. This is hardwired animal instinct in any species that reproduces sexually.
Like humans.
We can't help it. Porn is an automatic On switch for us. This is in our brains at a molecular level, beyond any conscious control. It doesn't mean we've identified the people in porn as even being people, we're just responding to witnessing the sexual act. Ideally, there's no emotional component to it at all. We do it just because it feels good. What, women don't masturbate? Pretty sure they do.
Now, that being said, porn is in no way a substitute for a real-life, honest to goodness female partner. If you're woman with a guy who has half a brain and an ounce of consideration, you'll never see it or hear about it. Any guy who needs to look at porn in order to get *ready* to be with his girlfriend has a serious problem (I'm assuming he's attracted to her, being his girlfriend and all). Any guy who flaunts watching porn, rejects you in favour of jerking off in front of his computer, or deliberately makes sure you know he's watching it and not you as a form of emotional attack is a complete ass who should be dumped immediately. Likewise, if you're a woman who insists on digging through your boyfriend's hard drive or sock drawer on a one-woman mission to eradicate digital boobs from your guy's life then *you* have a problem. And you're fighting a battle you'll never win.
Guys like porn. There's nothing men or women can do about that. Smart guys will make sure their women never see or hear it because they'll only ever look at it when their honeys aren't around to have real live sex with, and smart women will accept that porn is not a threat to them if they have a remotely healthy relationship.
Just my 2 cents.
