Men who don't watch porn

[FBworry]

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.

I despair.

My dh doesn't watch it, it's never occurred to me to ask him why not. Being with someone who watched porn is beyond my imagination. And they would also be a bit dead.

Shoesme what do you think that might suggest about your circle of friends?

Do you always think that what you and your friends do is what the rest of the world does?

My apologies as i don't know how to quote but in answer to abitcoldupnorth (it really is at the moment)

I do have a wide variety of male friends, different ages etc so I do not believe it's just the people or the circle of males I know.

I believe it's a wider issue with men and porn.

Honestly, I'm giving away man secrets here, when you ladies with the men who don't watch porn, pop to the shops, he's having the biggest danger wank ever.

As if women can't tell if a man watches porn....

Rather than talk to your friends, talk to their partners - and your own if you have one.

Women know the difference. If you talk to any of them who've had sex with a porn loser, they'll tell you that they are shit in bed, have no imagination and are strangely attached to a belief that women are propelled into ecstasy by a penis and its ejaculations.

If your own partner and your friends' partners tell you different, they are just telling you what you want to hear......

"man secrets"

"you ladies"

do fuck off

I want to share an "intelligent lady secret"

You've been fed a big fat lie to make you shut the fuck up and put up with a whole heap of shit.

Tis sad.

How welly, welly icky.

No need to be rude

No need to be a patronising pillock, dude

Well my apologies for coming across as patronising. I'm just trying to help x

In what way are you "trying to help"?

laughable

As a man, I know quite a lot of other men who don't watch porn, for a variety of reasons, including the exploitation angle, not finding it a turn-on and the fact it can totally fuck up your own sexual response.

Years ago, my DH once dated a woman who thought there was something weird about him because he'd never watched porn or wanted to watch it.

He challenged the date to show him a film and couldn't stop laughing at how bad it was. After asking for the third time 'why is that sexy?' and commented 'that woman must have terrible piles after doing that! It's putting me off my popcorn' 'can't we watch a film with a real plot now? he was asked to leave and never go back.

Not all men like porn!

"Honestly, I'm giving away man secrets here, when you ladies with the men who don't watch porn, pop to the shops, he's having the biggest danger wank ever."

No, that's just you.

Just to offer my perspective as your everyday male in his late 20's. We men lie about things like porn, being at the pub etc.

I'm here to help by betraying my brethren.

Wanking as a danger sport. How juvenile.

Well, if it isn't one of our little friends from arrse (or other similar website full of saddos)

"Danger wank" is such a mature term.
Another man who can't differentiate between porn use and masturbation.

SonOfAradia, I don't watch porn.

Nah, you're here on a windup. And now you've had your danger wank, you fancy stirring up the "ladies" on Mumsnet. Or perhaps, for a bit of novelty, you are combining the two. Congratulations on the multi-tasking, we'll make a lady of you yet.

"Danger wank"?

Oh you're a man.

Sort of.
