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.

Obviously i meant dangerous as in he's watching porn and i don't know what arrse is, i have no agenda, other than offering my thoughts on us men. I apologise for derailing the thread somewhat. Sincerely x

DH, doesn't "use" porn as in films/clips
however, he does look at images of bums and tits.

We have talked about it... I was ready and prepared for him to tell me deep dark secrets but that really is it.

HullyEastergully, more of a man child if i'm being honest.

Or just child.

Inadequate child.

Not too popular with the girls at a wild wild guess.

Manchild?
You don't say.

"We men lie about things like porn, being at the pub etc."

What, you mean my husband isn't really at work , he's down the pub wanking himself into a stupor to porn ? Who'd have thunk it?

Hully, i don't do too bad to be fair with the chicks.

Anyway, I think I'm coming across all wrong. Thank you for the traditional Mumsnet welcome, you ladies have a great day xxx

I'm sure Shoes does just fine with girls.
It's the women he'll have trouble with.

DP doesn't watch porn, ive never asked really as it hasn't come up the porn that is

How do you know you are an "everyday man in his 20s"? Also why do you have such a low opinion of men?

I don't think i do have a low opinion of men.

Why do you think they lie all the time then?

Why are you speaking about and for "them" and making them sound utterly pathetic and nasty?

I think I ought to call social services. My dp is currently engaging in danger wanks when all along I thought he was looking after our children

I never realised.

lol @ shoesme 'danger wank' :)
I would say that most (as in the vast majority) men do watch it, in some respect, but in a lot of cases have partners that wouldn't understand so they have to lie about it

Shoesme how is helpful to try and plant seeds of doubt in peoples mind by telling them their dp is a liar?

Im certain its within the realms of possibility than people do lie about their usage, but lies can go the other way around too. I think a lot of men put on a "one of the lads" bravado.

Do you think one of your mates would really pipe up with "i find porn exploitative " down da pub? I doubt he could be arsed with the flack so easier to lie.

Because men do tell white lies all the time, doesn't make us bad or nasty.

I feel i can speak for us due to my great knowledge of us (men) (possibley childish ones)

Unless you are saying it is a good thing to lie to your partner about your social/sex life?

What about if your gf/wife snogged someone else or lied about where they were/what they were doing? Is this ok because "people lie" or is this special crappy behaviour just something "men do" i.e. women partners of men should be forces to tolerate in your belief?

Andula gets it.

I'll try to answer all your questions as honestly as possible ladies, honestly i feel like Jesus right now.

No "men" dont tell lies all the time, you and the people you know do. Like gravitates towards "like".

Why do you have such a "great knowledge" of men? Surely this again is doing them down? I don't pretend to have a "great knowledge" of women just because I am one or even people just because I am one of those.

How is lying about your sex life or lying about where you are a "white lie"? They are pretty important lies aren't they? Why don't you feel you can tell the truth? Maybe you don't feel you have to because what men do is more important?

It's the idea that some women think it's somehow cheating that makes men lie about it. Using the 'it's exploitative' line is just covering up this fact.

No-one has to lie because there partner "wouldn't understand" you understand that don't you?
