Men and porn

I don’t actually have any issues with men watching porn. Honestly, I could care less. But I don’t get it. Why? What is so fascinating to a man about watching some other man bang some woman he will never bang?
What is it with men and porn? Please explain.

I think it’s a hormone thing…

bottom line is, men need to get rid of the juice

to do so something must trigger the whole mechanism, and it’s those images of naked women that work best

not that there is anything wrong with it, it’s all about reproduction, right?

Wasn’t good porn the main reason for the success of the Internet? :astonished:

Somethings can never be properly explained. Guys like porn. Girls like shopping.
Both are vacuous activities that provide short term-satisfaction.
And there’s nothing like a little self-indulgency, now & again…

Nudge, nudge…

Afaik there’s a fair share of women that watch porn as well, so…

It is educational. You can see what naked women look like, learn how to perform the deed, and it also gives you an insight into female thinking.

I think you can tell a lot about a man by his taste in porn. I once shared a flat with a chap who used to jump on my computer when I was out. Using the hstory function revealed a certain passion for women with splodge on their face. I’ve never understood that, or what it said about him.

Porn can be dangerous, I used to have a porn addiction, I kept needing to seek out hard and harder stuff until in the end I could only be turned on by pictures of completely naked women.

I’m partial to the right kind of porn, but I certainly don’t want to watch other guys getting it up. On the contrary, I’d rather not have any other males intruding into it at all, so the ideal kind of porn for me involves several or many beautiful women getting naked together, and best of all in a lovely natural setting like a forest or mountain stream. That feeds my most cherished fantasies as well as I could wish for.

and cave paintings, and books, and computers, and VHS, and DVDs, and will be of the new media that hits the scence (Blueray/HDDVD), and teleportation…

Actually, porn does you a favor. After all, if you had sex with us each time we masturbate to porn, you’d be totally exhausted.

That way madness lies :runaway:

Just don’t think about it … it’s too complex … it’s just ruining your brain …

Well. Maybe not.

And whoever said that shopping thing: My man drags me to shop. I HATE shopping. I don’t get it. I don’t understand what is fun about going out and trying on 100 outfits to find one that you like.

When men feel the urge but are not getting any, they can pretend they’re the dude on the screen getting some action.

It’s all about this: :wanker:

He has more porn than I have mp3s.

Okay, admittedly that was less a comment on female endurance than the frequency of male masturbation. But since it was pretty lame, here are some alternative explanations.

The Fountain of Youth Theory
What’s that line from Wooderson in “Dazed and Confused”? Oh yeah, “That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.” Same thing with porn.

The Funny Money Theory
Remember how much fun playing Monopoly was as a kid? Didn’t you love playing with all the money at least in part because you couldn’t get the real thing? Same thing with porn.

The Compensation Theory
It takes a lot of time and effort to get into a deep, lasting, mutually supportive, and loving relationship – if it ever even happens at all. So we usually give up and settle for double clicking our way to shallow, fleeting, one-way, lustful relationships.

The Vicarious Living Theory
Is there really any need to elaborate?

The Morbid Fascination Theory
Ever see a Japanese guy feverishly diddle with a finger or some futuristic contraption? She can’t be enjoying that, and it’s altogether unclear what his motivations are, but you just can’t stop watching. It’s like trying to eat just one potato chip.

The Mise-en-scène Theory
To those of us schooled in film theory and production, porn represents an excellent opportunity to analyze stylistic and narrative elements of film. For example, while costume design isn’t a particularly important concern, props are worth special scrutiny since they can be up to a foot long and manipulated with hands, mouths, or other orifices. Porn lighting also helps to enhance dramatic effect since attached/cast shadows and make-up combine to accentuate the extremities while shifting attention (usually in vain) from augmentation scars and Ron Jeremy’s gut. Variable settings are also key, since office desks and Jacuzzis are often more authentic and historically accurate than beds. Complex spatial design, after all, is almost always more effective at directing the gaze than cutting. And the acting? Oh my Godard, that’s the apotheosis of the porn film experience. Of course we look to other concerns such as cinematography (particularly tracking shots of orgies, genital-line matches, and shot/reverse shot), and while porn editing is an art unto itself, sound production helps to guide us from slap bass and jazz to slap ass and jizz.

I hope that helps.

Now THAT was one of the best posts I have ever read. :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:

The Fountain of Youth Theory
Doesn’t work out when young men (Mine is 7 years my junior) watch it. And young men always have.

The Funny Money Theory
This may work on a “variety is the spice of life basis”

The Compensation Theory
Men don’t stop watching it when they are in relationships. Even when they have sexually neglected women.

The Vicarious Living Theory

The Morbid Fascination Theory
Haha. Never seen a Japanese porn I liked.

The Mise-en-scène Theory
That’s why girls watch it…

I don’t buy that one. That’s a danger sign right there. The crucial point being the sexually neglected bit.
