Why do men like porn so much?
I find it incredibly boring and repetitive. Give me a good documentary instead anytime! Unfortunately, my hubby does not agree with that. And so I endure.

Last edited Mon Feb 4, 2013, 06:55 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) Otherwise 50 Shades of Grey wouldn't be selling near as many copies. That said, lots of porn is aimed pretty squarely at men, so women tend to not dig it as much. There is porn aimed at women, couples, or at least recognize that men sometimes watch it with women, so maybe try convincing him to get stuff that does something for the both of you, instead of just himself.

|
There are two facts you need to understand.
1) Women generally read more books than men. 2) Stupidity and poor taste are equally distributed between the genders. Combine these two facts, and you understand why the illusion of 50 Shades of Grey being especially popular with women is produced. |

"His enormously long fingers" ... Come on. If this was written by a man for men this would serve as a favorite example of what is wrong with male-oriented porn amd erotica. |

One thing I noticed when I worked in a book store was that all the new releases of romance novels flew off the shelves almost as soon as we put them up and the majority of the purchasers were middle-aged women old enough to be grandmothers.

|
I personally have no use for porn. I'm neither a teenager nor am I sex deprived. I'd much rather be doing it than watching it.
Besides, porn was much better when they actually tried to have a plot and dialog and all. Now it's just four straight hours of assfucking with no lead in or anything. |

16. Men are hardwired to seek out sex. It's evolution.

The introduction of readily accessible internet porn just makes the job that much easier. Sometimes we just want the arousal.
Many studies have shown that there are differences between men and women sexually in that men are more easily turned on visually. Porn simply makes the job infinitely easier. |

24. Some women like porn too
|
Maybe it has something to do with men enjoying visual stimulation sexually and women liking more of the mental imagery type that comes from books?
Gah, who knows. People shouldn't worry so much about what other people do in regards to their personal lives. |

I feel about porn the way I do about most "taboo" things. The world would be well served by having healthy access and a regulated market. There's a lot out there that doesn't float my boat, and some that freaks me out, but as long as no one is hurt and people can figure out how to deal with how it might impact their lives I don't object.

I found my ex's porn stash while I was cleaning. I put it back where I found it. Porn does nothing for me but I do know quite a few women who love it.
It's like religion and football. I don't get any of them but I'm perfectly tolerant of people who do. They can have my share. |

On this topic, men and women are wired differently. You don't respond to porn the way men do, and short of massive hormone treatment, never will.

Although I don't like Waterboy, Beavis, etc. I like action films with lots of stuff flying around and impossible stunts. Also I love all Jackie Chan movies, especially the parts at the end. He's my hero.
And those scenes in Golden Eye. Pierce Brosnan does the thing on the side of the dam and gets inside and all of that and still manages to not get shot. Then he's flying off a cliff on a motorcyle. Just so happens he lands inside a plane that just so happens has an open door that is going in a dive off the same cliff. A lot of other really cool stuff happens in that movie. I could watch it over and over. Hey, they made it work in the movie! What can I say... Is there something wrong with me? |

even a lot of the supposedly natural breastesses on the so-called stars are enhanced. I'm not even talking about the obvious fake ones, but fairly natural ones who advertise themselves as natural have before/after pictures floating around that shows them smaller when they entered the business.
Not that it matters, I guess. But a lot of them sure go through a lot of work to be "fantasy" women. |

For solely cultural reasons, which are socially constructed and therefore apt to change.
Men's and Women's use of porn has been converging ever since the dawn of the internet and if things go on this way these marked differences will disappear. I find that my post-millenial friends show no marked difference in attitude toward porn - at least not one that is clearly based on gender. |
