Upon viewing these replies, I think a better question would have been "How often do you not look at porn?"

my personal favorite is Booty Patrol

If I was in a porno, my porn name would be James Dong, and the movie would be Thunder Balls.

HAHAHA I'm dying XD
/slayed


I watch porn a decent amount, mybe 3 times a week. Just because the stuff I come up with in my head works just fine.

At college, I never watched porn or fapped it, there was ZERO privacy. I'd go 2 weeks without it on average. Of course I was more sexually active, but that doesn't count. =->

When the girlfriend is around I dont watch it. I mean I browse 4chan and its always there, but its not what I go for.

When the girlfriend is gone for a long time I watch porn maybe once a day or less.

I DONT ALWAYS WATCH PORN,,. BUT WHEN I DO... I PREFER S&M,

Few words of advice; Never Power-Wank

=P Hahaha

Whenever I have an hour to Kill

I used to watch Porn quite often, up until the last 6 months when I completely stopped.

There are multiple studies that prove the detrimental effect of pornography to a long/short term relationship and the male interpretation of females.

I won’t squabble on but long story short, Pornography in general destroys a man’s ability to (completely) adore and love his spouse.

That’s a blunt statement I know but ask yourself how long you can watch a porno before you get bored of the porn star and move on.
You could potentially be looking at the absolute pinnacle of the female body and be bored of it within minutes.
Then, after you find one person you grow to love reality hits and you are unable to express yourself entirely to her and her alone.

you become dependant on lusting over other females whilst being with your partner (this generally happens after years of being together) (I know this much for a fact)

None the less, our brains become so dumbed down that we are unable to ascertain wether we lust for a women or have genuine love for her and either way are unable to sustain either for an extended period of time.
Thus defeating the quintessential foundation of a relationship.. dedication.

Again, I don’t want to blabber on but from experience and through study I have come to learn that Pornography in itself is ruining lives and my advise to all would be to start to cut down.

There are some great articles that further explain this point...
I'll try and find them and post them up later tonight.

I think my dick is shrinking from masturbating :(

On a personal note, I'd have to disagree.

I've never failed to adore and love any mate I ever had, especially not because of porn. I myself prefer to have love and sex as separate matters in a relationship. I'll love [you] always, and have sex with [you] when I'm horny. would be the best way for me to put it in one sentence.

Porn has never had any affliction on my life with the exception of being caught watching certain porn when I was in the closet, in which that case doesn't really have anything to do with pornography.

In my most honest opinion, and with no disrespect to anyone, porn can only affect one's relationship if they allow it to. Also, I strongly feel it can only truly be a problem if the person cannot refrain himself/herself from generalizing a particular image of the male/female body.

I also disagree. Haha, with porn it's like you spend 95% looking for the right scene, and 5% of the time wanking. All right those percentages are a little off. But still, so much of porn is ... just absolutely degrading to women. Or at least that's how I see it. Dude's who'll stick it anywhere, cum anywhere, it's just like ... that isn't what gets me off. And I dislike when people emulate what they see in porn as if that's the right way to have sex. I don't know, sex for me is just ... a lot different and I wish there were more porn to my liking, I guess I stick to amateur stuff because real couples really boning is so much hotter. I completely appreciate my girlfriend for everything that she is. And I know that she watches porn too because she doesn't hide her browsing history. I don't really know if I was making a point here, I guess I'm just giving too much information.

I guess I'll just add that I think shaved pubes are weird and guys should stop doing that. But then again, nah whatever do what you want. I just feel like that is people emulating what they see in porn as the social norm. Annoying.

I agree with this man, its why Im into fetish stuff. There is actually very little actual sex in the pornography that I watch, its more about erotica.

I agree with chardballz.

I grab my dick and double click.

I think us guys should keep our pubes tidy, but leave them there. A haircut is fine, but mount baldy is just a bit too boyish. Hell honestly it doesn't matter to me what other guys do, as long as my lady is happy.

I consider myself an extremely sexual person, and I don't watch porn at all. Its boring, ugly, repetitive, and never sexy in the least

so you make a couple of good points.

I'm not all snappy with HTML so bear with me.

When you say
"I've never failed to adore and love any mate I ever had, especially not because of porn. I myself prefer to have love and sex as separate matters in a relationship. "

To me, it begs the question of what Love really is.
Without tip toeing into theological components I can say for my own lifestyle the two are one.
Sex and love should combined as It is ultimately an expression of your feeling towards a certain person.
Everything else is simply lust.

So I respectfully disagree with separating the two as you then break down your relationship into two separate components that have evidently damaged your relationships considering you talk about them in a past tense.

(apologies if that sounds harsh)

You also said.
" In my most honest opinion, and with no disrespect to anyone, porn can only affect one's relationship if they allow it to. Also, I strongly feel it can only truly be a problem if the person cannot refrain himself/herself from generalizing a particular image of the male/female body"

Now that's the problem. The average male mind subconsciously develops this image of what a sexual partner should look like. ultimately as time passes the influence of said image doesn’t become enough and the unconscious addiction looks to improve that image... I.e. watching different pornos.

So, I suppose what I am trying to say is that what we are talking about are two very different things.
You are talking about your understanding of Sex and love which we will never agree on given our different lifestyles.

I'm trying to point out the long term affects pornography has.

Do you think it is a coincidence that over 79% of men that are divorced have admitted to watching pornography during their marriage?

I know the kind of life I want to live..

I want to love and be with one person my entire life... and unless I can commit myself to her in both mind and body then she will never truly have the whole of me... To which we now enter the world of love my friend.





:

Actually, sex has never been an issue in any relationship I ever had, and has never been the reason for - or related to the reason for - any break up.

That is in fact because I keep love and sex separate in my relationships. I feel if I'm in it for love, why would I want to make anything else let alone sex be as important?

Yes, having sex for me is entirely lust, and I will never attempt to combine lust with love. It isn't right and it isn't fair to the other mate. I must say, though, I do believe there is a big difference between having sex and making love, but I'll get to that later.



Of course, the average male mind does such, but doesn't mean one should generalize that one image, thus applying it to every potential partner.

I myself have several "images" of a potential sex partner, both male and female alike, and I only apply them when I am in the mood to have sex, and I am in the mood for a particular preference.

I never attempt to search for what I see in porn. To be honest, most of the times I watch porn is when I am horny, I am unable to have sex at that moment, and feel the need to relieve the sexual tension. What I actually see in the flick isn't really important to me, I just want to get the tension out of me so I can get on with my day without being uncomfortable.

As I've stated before, I'd much rather get laid. lol




Our different lifestyles don't make us much different in this case.

What you said can be applied to any man, straight, gay, bi, or whathaveyou, which is not a bad thing, btw. In fact, it strengthens your point.





For the stat, I do not find it a coincidence, but not because of what you stated.

Men like sex. Most men like to watch porn. It gets them off. Unfortunately, many men tend to get consumed in porn, but in many cases, it is with a particular image that they get consumed, for example, a tall, young, slender, bright-skinned European woman with long blonde hair, large breasts, and a pretty voice. While this image may be common in pornography, it certainly isn't in real life, and odds are the man's wife does not bare that image. It is there that the problem rises.

For me, having sex and love separate keeps me from making that mistake. While I'll have sex when I'm horny, I'll find myself making love to my mate, something you do not and should not do with someone else, for it is love that fuels that intercourse, not lust.

At this point I think I should admit I am a supporter and practitioner of open relationships, and I think that is why we may never fully agree on this subject. While you believe in submitting all of you to your mate, which is most definitely a good thing, I believe love should be the only factor that moves a relationship, which is to me also a very good thing.


Despite our differences, let me say I am very pleased we are able to have a debate without getting loud. lol

True. Gratz to you two on having class.
