Original poster

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.

Not literally 'over' Mary Poppins, you understand.

vvqv, it just angers me that others imply that those of us who have said our husbands aren't into porn are in some way deluded or being deceived that's all (and it's a view that's often bandied around on here)

I quite like your point about the definition of porn.

Mind you, they might have a laminated picture.....

Golf land being....Florida or Scotland?

NotAnOtter · 09/02/2007 14:50

my dp is not into it - its refreshing to hear others say the same

monkeymonkeymoomoo · 09/02/2007 14:50

I think that all men have probably used...ummm.... props at some point in their life for a bit of visual stimulation to get them in the mood. Particularly when single, but that is not to say they do it when they are with someone. So I have to agree that I think ALL men do like porn but they don't need it throughout their lives IYKWIM

(will get of fence now as it is getting uncomfortable )

dp isn't.... he thinks it's mildly amusing but doesn't get turned on by it at all.

we watch porn together sometimes and he knows i'd have no problem with him looking at it (especially as with almost 3 years of pregnacy and bf he's not getting a whole lot of action with me!) but he doesn't bother seeking it out at all.

Cod - whatever floats blokes boat

I think it is naive to assume that they don't, TBH I'd be wary of a man that didn't like looking at sexual images or didn't take himself in hand once in a while!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/02/2007 14:53

Thats must be hard going sometimes coddy.

foxinsocks · 09/02/2007 14:53

some men can create what they need in their heads though

they don't all need pictures in one hand when they wank

NotAnOtter · 09/02/2007 14:53

COD so in my house there is a lot of 'kidding ourselves' going on according to the oracle that is you

  1. that we ACTUALLY really want to be married
  2. That dp is having a ham shandy over porn all the time

I think this thread is getting under the skin of individuals with partners who regularly access porn. I don't know why un;ess they think posters whos partners don't access it are being smug..?

I don't think anyone has denied that research shows what type of thing gets the majority of men sexually turned on, but statistics don't always describe the individual. We are not all just a percentage in a survey.
I'm sure most men who don't have a meaningful relationship ( and some of those that do) would a certain amount of pleasure from looking at images of women in a state of undress...be it naked, topless or semi naked. The issue is do they choose to go and find these images regularly ?

Most of the posters on this thread are 100% certain that, for whatever reason, their partners don't.

Indeed foxy, sometimes they have a mobile phone in one hand, or even a mouse
