Men who don't watch porn

I do not believe all men watch porn.

However I wonder why they dont with it now being the "norm"?

Was there never any interest in the first place? Has it lost its shine? Is it a for feminist reasons?

Or is it more of a case of resisting temptation? As in they do want to watch but guilt and/or morals stop them? Fear of being caught?

We live in a time when we are constantly fed the message all men watch porn so nobody ever discusses those that don't watch it.

Andula he knows this how? Does he know most men or like other people does he tend to hang around with people who share his values? "When their partner's sex drive diminishes" hmm... When?

Did you know that David Cameron met a black man once? Would you like to know what he said?

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 13/12/2012 15:30

theres a surprise. another man who can speak for the majority.

my dh said that most men don't and your insistence that they do/many lie to their dps about it is insulting and pretty offensive. but its all irrelevant and anecdotal.

Andula · 13/12/2012 15:32

why is it offensive? I'm just telling you the opinion of an impartial man.

Andula · 13/12/2012 15:34

blame, you criticised someone for speaking for the majority then immediately made a comment that your husband can speak for the majority. nice work.

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 13/12/2012 15:35

and that was the opinion of another impartial man. except neither are impartial, because one uses porn, the other doesnt.

fwiw, he finds it offensive that you assume that all men have the same desires and react in the same way. that they are incapable of telling the truth to their partners and get off on cheap titilation.

but, I guess you wont see that, will you?

Offred · 13/12/2012 15:35

You are telling us the opinion of a man you know. As I said, people tend to choose friends and acquaintances who share their values. Also, how do you know he is telling the truth? If "men lie" and "porn is the norm" and "why wouldn't men watch porn if it is the norm?" Then why would he tell you if he didn't watch/objected to porn?

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 13/12/2012 15:35

but its all irrelevant and anecdotal. ahem. read the posts properly dear, you're not very good at this, are you?

Offred · 13/12/2012 15:39

The black man said he was pissed off with immigrants btw...

morecheesegromit · 13/12/2012 15:40

but blame you assume that all people who watch porn are a certain way. you're very good at that dear.

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 13/12/2012 15:40

fwiw, I referring to Andula's constant attempts to derail, insult intelligence and discredit.

Notafoodbabyanymore · 13/12/2012 15:43

To those who are insisting thqt their sex life is unaffected by their porn use, how do you know?

My DH has said repeatedly that since he stopped using porn (which was entirely his choice, based on the fact that he hated how much it was controlling his life) he has a brand new appreciation of me, his marriage and sex. He can't believe how much better and more enjoyable sex is now.

BelaLugosisShed · 13/12/2012 15:43

How predictable that men watching porn is womens fault
If only women opened their legs more, the poor deprived men wouldn't have to resort to porn use.

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 13/12/2012 15:43

thats sweet, I don't want to be like you. so all's good with the world Xmas Smile

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 13/12/2012 15:43

I was referring, sorry.

morecheesegromit · 13/12/2012 15:45

notafoodbaby, that's great

Andula · 13/12/2012 15:45

Blame - I can't accept that apology, I'm afraid

morecheesegromit · 13/12/2012 15:45

i don't get why the adult women on these boards can't have a debate without all the bitchiness

BlameItOnTheChoirOfAngels · 13/12/2012 15:46

Andula, oh well. at least I didnt look silly.

Andula · 13/12/2012 15:50

ah i want to be just like you, patronising, condescending, self righteous..

yep, not terribly dignified is it? Smile

Offred · 13/12/2012 15:58

Ironic cheese.

Offred · 13/12/2012 16:02

Cheese - for balance are you going to post any of the insults levelled from the other side?
