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.

or mt3g, it could be something you just dip into every now and again.
I'd actually find it inhibiting to be with a man who didn't like porn every now & again.

how could it be inhibiting?

I don't think all men are, at all.

But I would say, based on various men I've known as friends down the years, that the DP/DW often doesn't know whether their man uses porn or not.

aaah I see Bugsy - thanks for explaining. Am personally not into porn so couldn't understand the inhibiting thing.

(lol Fio!)

I'm inclined to agree with cod. That doesnt mean that all men have a stash in the back of their wardrobe or something, but, its when they say "It doesnt do anything for me". I disagree. Its a physiological fact that men tend to be easily stimulated visually. So, i think, unless there are already libido problems there - there will be some type of 'porn' for men that excites them (and doesnt involve looking at their DP/DW). Doesnt have to be hardcore films involving all manner of acts. It could be looking at a partially naked or even clothed woman who is posing suggestively. Porn isnt JUST about explicit full on pictures/film. It is also about suggestion.

I suppose, it depends on what your definition of porn is.

booboobedoo - I'm with foxinsocks on that! I definitely don't want to see other people having sex....

Pages · 09/02/2007 14:13

LOL Fio! Actually, I would probably have a look if he had some (there is nowhere to hide it on our house and no reason to) but DH actually has something against it, not quite sure why. We found a saucy video in the loft when we moved house and DH and I both yelled "Is that yours?" to each other and fell about laughing.

I agree. It is now correct to say that all men like porn.

DH has never been into it and known him since he was a teenager. He would have to be so incredibly secretive about it for me not to now after all this time, and knowing him so well from such a pretty young age! It's just not his thing. I suppose he might look at something if a friend showed him it, but he'd never go and by something himself, and wouldn't have a clue how to download anything let alone porn! But I do not is is NOT his thing at all, and no he isn't lying to me!

Surely it is just like some women like it, and others don't. Everyones different and what works for one person, may not for another.

I find it bizarre that some people can't accept or believe that not everyone likes porn, male or female!

Pages · 09/02/2007 14:18

VVV, you are right, but not all men have to actually look at it, my DH is no prude and has an imagination, but it doesn't mean he needs a stash of porn.

Well, indeed - that is what I posted Pages.

frenchconnection · 09/02/2007 14:23

like cod says, you are all KIDDING yourselves!! most men like porn as they are programmed to be turned on by visual things. they just look at it/think about it when by themselves.
Those who say their dhs dont wank, OF COURSE THEY DO! JUST NOT WHEN YOURE THERE!!

mumto3girls · 09/02/2007 14:24

Icod...is there some reason why you would be happy to be proven right on this?
