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? ---

Both are vacuous activities that provide short term-satisfaction. And there’s nothing like a little self-indulgency, now & again… Nudge, nudge… ---

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. HG ---

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. ---

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. ---

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… ---
