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.

I hate to get on my high horse here but all this 'you're kidding yourselves' and 'you're wrong' is just a tad bloody patronising. I've had a fair few men in my life and I know dh well enough to know what floats his boat and what doesn't.

As for the not wanking, well yes.... you have a point there .

Now hang on Fio...doesnt everyone in the world like sheep?

My dp doesn't. I know loads of men who don't.

I don't think it's particularly rare to find a man who wouldn't buy the product of an industry that denigrates women in the way the porn industry does.

And FWIW I agree with Fio's last point.

Men spend an awful lot of time thinking about sex and touch themselves regularly throughout the day. Research adn studies have shown this to be the case over and over.

Thus, unless a fundamental libido problem - they wank alright.

AND they get turned on by visual stimulation that doesnt always involve their partner.

God DP leaves the room if any programme gets slightly rude!!

He says watching porn makes him feel a bit uncomfortable like he shouldn't be encroaching on such a private moment between 2 people - bless him he is so missing the point - I don't like it so I am quite happy.

Fio - Im not saying all Welsh DONT like sheep. What I am saying is that people OUTSIDE of Wales also like sheep. Alot. Look at New Zealand, and Australia for instance.

Just realised he is my DH now poor thing how could I forget.

but VVQV that doesn't mean they all look at porn though does it

puddle · 09/02/2007 14:35

Fio - all women like kittens. Any woman that says she doesn't is bound to have a stash in a suitcase under the bed.

Does liking the pictures of Nigella Lawson in her cookery books count? Dh is a bit of a fan!!!!
But he has no interest in what I would call "porn".
