am I the only one who just doesn't believe that all men are into porn?

of course some are, and of course in a lot of relationships it is a problem, and indeed in some it isn't, but I really just don't believe that most men buy/download/possess porn of some kind as has been suggested on here many times.

so am I the only one who believes this? I know my dh certainly doesn't have any.

The singer from (forgotten the name of the band sorry - scot brit rockers) put it well in a recent book when some tout was pestering him to go to a 'titty bar'

"What's wrong - you no like titties"

"I like titties a lot, tittie bars however, are shit"

I am pmsl at QV's mum and the wank post story

Icod a sly look does not the man make. There is an issue here. Porn doesn't naturally equal a healthy sexuality. Porn is noting but unnatural - modern, industrial porn that is.

Sorry, theres a whole world gone on before I got in half cut - am retiring. n'night a;;

It's like anything else, it's not to everyone's fancy.

I think most heterosexual men are turned on by naked women and sex, but whether that translates to a regular porn habit depends on the individual man. DH did sometimes read a mag or two a looong time ago, when he was single but he is really not interested these days. That is not to say that IF he read one, he would not be turned on by it. It is just that he CHOOSES not to have that particular hobby, but he has a busy real life and as a couple we are lucky to fit real sex in, never mind indulge in fantasy!

MT's post reminds me of xp - he always said that he was so conscious of the politcal implications of the porn industry, that he couldn't look at porn without thinking of the evils of capitalism (he was a raging communist) and the exploitative nature of the relationship between him as a consumer, the women as products and the industrial porn publishers as producers, which wasn't much of a turn on.

Nightynight · 10/02/2007 21:24

my ex wasn't interested in porn at all.

duvet · 11/02/2007 11:20

My dh dabbled a little before we had kids about five years ago and he always felt a bit crap about it soon after, not cos of me at all, we both did, because of our faith. We always felt rubbish later and dh would end up binning it, then when I was pg he decided he definitely had enough, and there's been nothing since. He feels loads better about himself since, me too and he won't even get dodgy 15 films now. Our relationship is def better, so yeah now I believe he is not into it at all.

duvet · 11/02/2007 11:22

You're right rantum, all men could probably be into porn, the big difference is whether they CHOOSE to be or not,well said

clemsterdarcy · 11/02/2007 15:59

To quote Voltaire (I think!!!)...

Men are seduced by the eye, women by the ear ...

Of course men at one time or in one way or another will have/have got SOME interest in porn ...

It really doesn't bother me if DH is/isn't. Also .. he has been on rugby tours where they've gone to strip clubs etc, Stringfellows etc ... I'm just confident that he makes his choices and happy he chooses me. If he takes a deviant route then it is his conscience that he has to live with.

I find it absurd that his mates don't tell their wives about their 'grot-stash' or shenanigans.

Although I do like to point out how he'd feel if his dd declared that she wanted an 'Adult Career' ... he may have a change of heart.

Porn is about desire .. .soft or hard (ba boom tsch...) and you cannot repress desire. No pair of lovers like no two snowflakes are ever alike (think that's Lee) and so as long as noone gets hurt then I say a little bit of what you like does you no harm and is your own business ...

Well i know my dp doesnt watch it, he could if he wanted but as long as ive known him he's not been into it. He works on the rigs 4 weeks at a time so i always send him away with a little album! I have a body just a good as any pornstar (and do all the same things) so think he has no need for all that fake stuff. Sorry if that was too much info!
