+305 Newsflash to Women: Men view porn because it gives them erections, not because they want to assert their dominance on women, amirite?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Newsflash, women view porn because they are horny...it's not just you.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh, yes I am aware.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That doesn't make it right.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

What makes it wrong?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

What makes it wrong is that she is an overly sensitive feminist who thinks that any woman who doesn't assert themselves as an "independent individual" is wrong.

*Slow clap*

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, I find it humorous that I'm not a feminist at all. I just have standards.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So you think that women who willingly make pornography and get paid to do it wrong? And anyone who views the porn is in the wrong too, because of your "standards"?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think that looking at porn intentionally is wrong, yes. Personally, I won't date a guy who watches porn. I don't understand the meaning or purpose of your first question.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't understand, why do you not like people who watch porn?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's not that I don't like them. It's that I believe what they are doing is wrong. In case you didn't realize it, there is a significant difference.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You said you wouldn't dat someone who watches porn. I took that as meaning that you didn't like people who watch porn. Also, everybody does things that are wrong, watching porn being one of the more popular options. If you won't date someone just because of that, you have very few options at the moment.

That's not what it meant. I also think homosexuality is wrong, but my closest female friend is a lesbian. Case in point. Yes, everybody does things that are wrong. Porn happens to be one of the wrong things that I won't tolerate in the man I date/marry. I am aware that my options are severely narrowed by this standard. However, it does not eliminate them. Personally, I have dated two guys who do not watch porn, because I explained to them how I feel about it, and they simply decided not to do it anymore. I know men like that are out there, who respect me enough to respect my standard if they want to be romantically involved with me.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Those two guys both lied to you. Not lied in a bad way, they lied so that you wouldn't freak out that they were watching porn. 90% of people do it, and the other 10% lie about it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Contrary to your apparent belief, there ARE men out there who are decent enough to respect a girl's wishes. I know both of them, 100% more than you do, and I know that the entire scope involving pornography is extremely subjective. Way to generalize about your own sex.

I remember reading about a failed study to analyze why some men look at porn and some don't. They couldn't find a single man who has never looked at porn/

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I never said that they hadn't looked at porn before. Most men have, yes. So, I don't know what point you're trying to prove there.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So they had looked at porn? So you dated people who watched porn? So you were LIKELY just completely fooled/lied to about them not watching ANY porn while you were dating...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They watched it at one point, but when I told them how I feel about it, they stopped doing it. I continued dating them. I am well aware that most men have looked at porn. The bottom line is, (and I wrongly assumed that you were able to infer this... my apologies.) I won't date a guy who continues to watch porn after I have expressed how I feel about it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

See, this isn't guarenteed, but I don't believe that both guys stopped watching porn cold turkey right after you started dating them. That is just too hard for most guys, no pun intended.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They weren't addicts when I began dating them. It was an occasional thing, and yes, they stopped cold turkey.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Or so they told you. First of all, of course they would tell their girlfriend, whom they already know dislikes porn, that they only do it "occasionally." Why would they choose to tell you that they did it often? The truth is, they probably did it as much as the average guy does, which, truth be told, is quite a bit, and maybe they did it less when you told them to stop, but I almost guarentee they did it at least once. If your boyfriend told you that you couldn't go on Facebook or Amirite anymore if you wanted to continue dating him, do you think you could stop completely, or would you do it once or twice and either lie or never bring it up again?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The Facebook/amirite analogy is completely irrelevant; I have a valid reason to be averse to pornography. Now, if they had a valid reason to be opposed to me going on Facebook or amirite, I would take it into consideration. Until then, the analogy is useless. What is a relationship if not based off of trust? And in addition, I actually know these people, so maybe you'd like to stop assuming that they're like every guy of your kind? I said "occasionally" because I didn't feel like going into detail. One of them used to do it a lot, because he was anti-social and couldn't get a girl. By the time I met him, it had simmered down to occasionally. Yes, occasionally. And I explained my feelings, and he has since not done it. The other one did it once in a blue moon.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think that that analogy is completely relevant. Studies have shown that Facebook can be harmful to your health, whether it be from stress or simply spending too much time on the computer. The same goes for pornography, it can be unhealthy at a certain point.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

There is no reason my boyfriend would have a personal problem with me having a Facebook page. Emphasis on the word, personal. It may not be good at some point in some form or fashion, but no guy is going to feel badly because I have a Facebook. And, if I ever meet a guy like that, I will cross that bridge when I get there. Sort it out with him.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

With that logic, what's wrong with guys watching porn?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

>_> This is going to be a bit more difficult than I anticipated. Let's put it like this: The logic I just explained, in my last response, applies to the Facebook side of your analogy. Which, if you'll remember, I had stated was useless in this conversation, because I don't know of any guys at all that have a personal problem with their significant other using Facebook. On the other side, I actually have a personal problem with porn and so don't tolerate dating a guy who watches it. Make sense?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, but if you met a guy who had a person problem with Facebook, would you find that irrational? If so, that is exactly the way I feel about your decision about pornography. I don't thing that you're wrong, I just disagree. It's an opinion.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If I met a guy like that, like I said, I would deal with it then. Cross that bridge when I get there. Facebook has negative effects that affect me. Porn has negative effects that affect my boyfriend and me, both. You can't tell me you honestly believe porn is on the same level as Facebook in terms of harm.

That post should explain it all for you as well. I had an argument similar to this one on that very post.

i don't see whats so wrong about guys watching porn, it's not like they're going out and buying hookers, it's just porn.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Exactly. There is nothing physical going on with another woman.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

As long as the guy I'm with doesn't prefer porn over me, I don't care. What is a bachelor supposed to do when they are alone?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And because we already know that we're the dominant sex. ;)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't think I've ever even thought guys watching porn was a problem, i didn't think other people thought it was too. I mean, guys masturbate, it is what it is. Some girls do too. Would you rather a guy go around trying to fuck everything with a pulse, or have him watch porn? Its natural. I see nooo problem at all

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think the reason a girl would have a problem with it would only be if she was in a relationship with a guy, cause then she wouldn't really want him seeing other women naked, you know? But then again with the clothes they make today, you can't go out in public without practically seeing a woman naked, so it's not like it'll make a difference if he watches it or not.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

its still gross. Its especially gross when married men view it because its a huge insult to their wife.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

how so?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Its like saying "you're great and all, but I'd rather look at this naked lady on the computer because I don't have to talk to her and she's nicer looking anyways."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I just want to say I understand both sides of the argument, but there will never be a right or wrong because it's all personal preference. Yes, some women will be offended if their significant other watches porn, especially if they are getting off in the washroom and not satisfying her enough. On the other hand, some women don't give a crap, and probably watch it themselves. It's all about respect for your other half. Don't go into a relationship with a person who watches porn if you're against it and vice versa. *end of long, lame Dr. Phil speech*
