Do all men look at porn ?

Asked by tuesday242 (283points) September 23rd, 2010

I have been told that “all men look at porn”. When saying looking at porn the person was saying that all men look at porn regularly. (more that 3 times a week ) I would really like an honest answer to this, I would say that a they might of looked at it at some point, But on a daily basis?

No one can know the answer to this. I am pretty sure my husband doesn’t look at porn because: a) he’s too busy with the baby and b) I would love it if he did so he knows there is no need to ‘hide from the wife’.

No, all men don’t look at porn and even those that do may not do so on a daily basis.

Jude's avatar

I am guessing that a good portion do.

Daily? No.

I may as well be the first man to respond. I do on occassion. Daily? no. I’d have to give up some of my fluther time and I’d rather fluther than watch porn.

No not ALL men!! Just most of them. Google has 150,000,000 pages of porn that’s one page for every 2 people in the US.

Well, all I can say is that 3 times a week is right on the money for me.

tuesday242's avatar

I realise that no one can answer this as it is a private activity, but having been told adamantly that ALL men do. I turned to Fluther for an honest answer.

the answers make me seem rather naive. :(

Jude's avatar

I’m a lady and 3 times a week is about right. I don’t get to see my girlfriend all that often.

It’s a great release.

janbb's avatar

No – I’m pretty sure I know several who don’t look at it regularly.

ragingloli's avatar

Yes. All men (those pigs) watch porn.
Those who say they do not, are also lying.
Those pigs.

Rarely do “all men” do anything.

isuppose's avatar

What @DominicX said.

But I’m pretty sure everyones seen (or will see) porn at least once in their lifetime.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@ragingloli Um, there are men out there who have no need to lie.

tuesday242's avatar

yes come on men… just a “yes I do”. or a “no I don’t ” will do fine for me :)

its all purely to aid my naive, through rose tinted glasses world.

rebbel's avatar

Yeah, about fourteen times per week.
As for watching porn…, nah, maybe twice.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@ragingloli Yes, yes I watch House too…saying ‘everybody lies’ doesn’t mean they all lie about watching porn – if it’s nothing you feel ashamed about, it’s nothing to lie about. Do you lie to people about your first name or your dog’s name?

PORNOGRAPHY
1. the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
2. material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement

I do love the female form (nudes), but, pornography…nah.

Last night I was hanging around with a friend, having a beer. The talk, as it sometimes does, got around to sex. He is always regaling me with his adventures in relationship land. Rarely do his relationships get off the ground, but he has a fun time meeting the women.

Sometimes he says he has fucked most of them, and sometimes he says he can’t get it up. I have no idea what to believe about him. He does have the gift of gab, for sure, but his life makes a shipwreck look like a fender bender. He’s glib, acerbic, intolerant of anyone who isn’t as quick as he is (and there aren’t many), misogynistic and an accused wife beater who spent a week in jail due to his wife’s believableness.

He’s crazy, just like me, so we get along well. His verbal jousting doesn’t bother me. Besides it’s not all that hard to put him in his place. For a smart guy, who has, literally, been walking the streets for years, there’s an inner innocence about him that is surprising.

How is this related to the topic? Well, last night, between watching the Phillies and ordering burgers, I was telling him about my adventures in the area rectal fornication. This somehow lead to a discussion of threesomes at which point he began asking me about what it was like. He was having a hard time, apparently, wrapping his mind around these things.

At some point I told him that he could see these things for himself online. He seemed interested and asked a number of questions about where he could find such media, and then (we finally get to the task at hand) he asked the stumper, “Could I get addicted to this?”

He’s bipolar and like many people with bipolar disorder, he has had a number of addictions in his life. He’s managed to kick them all, which is amazing to me. I told him that, yes, it was very easy to get addicted to porn, amongst other things one does online.

His response? “Then I better not do it.”

I was blown away. Here was an admission of utter naivete from a guy who hides just about everything behind his shield of words. So, based on that, my dear @tuesday242 (and every other doubting woman here), I have to conclude that there are men who don’t look at porn.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir
Do you lie to people about your first name or your dog’s name?
I do.
If you ask me what my first name is, online, I will lie to you and give you a fake name.
Also, I would never get a dog.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@ragingloli LOL. Okay, but to people you trust, do you lie about everything?

ragingloli's avatar

usually not.

@wundayatta Thankyou for a wonderful answer :) and for taking the time to answer. my world is better now xx

—thankyou to everyone else for their answers too x—

It depends how you define porn. Some advertisements could be classed as mild pornography. I don’t go out of my way to look at porn and when I do come across it it doesn’t hold my interest for very long as it seems kind of fake. I do have a pretty normal sex drive and despite what some people may think I am not telling lies.

ucme's avatar

Another name for mine & the wife’s bedroom, porn studio. Why watch when you can be the star attraction…...well co-star to be fair :¬)

deni's avatar

that is a big generalization to make….im sure most men have watched it but might not watch it on a regular basis, or might not watch it anymore altogether.

BoBo1946's avatar

No, in my mind, porn degrades a beautiful thing (making love). And, I’ve watch it, but made my decision to stay away from it. Everyone sees life differently.

Austinlad's avatar

I’ll get back to you to answer this question as soon as I finish watching “Dale Does Dallas.”

downtide's avatar

I do look at porn but definitely not daily, or even weekly. My partner (also male), to my knowledge, hasn’t looked at porn in years.

wgallios's avatar

I look at porn, maybe not 3 times a week; Depends on how bored I am.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

No. Two exes of mine never did and another did only while he was single, said he didn’t have a desire for it during relationships.

Blueroses's avatar

Do people on restrictive diets watch Food Network?
Seriously. I’d say most men look at porn on a regular basis (a lot of women too, if we’re honest). Sex is a fundamental human drive and understanding the fetishes of others makes us feel less alone. Even if you aren’t excited by something, it is reassuring to know there is somebody out there who makes your deviance look normal.

Frenchfry's avatar

My man has looked at porn here and there. It does not bother me.

dkranzberg's avatar

I don’t think something like this qualifies as porn. It is always interesting to me that something that other often think of as inappropriate, when done the right way, doesn’t seem inappropriate at all…rather pure and true and light.

To anyone who watches porn they should see the video on the bottom of the following page.
http://www.mikekey.com/how-porn-will-destroy-your-life/

This video was not a revelation to me. I had an idea of how bad things could be for porn stars but now we have ex-porn-stars sharing the reality of it and reminding us that its not a very casual and a easy thing. Although I understand that from our computer screens we can’t tell much, most female porn-stars feel degraded, disgusted and abused in every shoot. I think most people watching porn should feel a little disgust with the information that the women they are watching is degrading herself in desperate need for money.

Just so you know, I am a guy. I hate porn and masturbation and I like my lady to satisfy my needs. I watched porn until I was 14 or 15 and since then hate it. Especially because I felt it decreased my performance in sports. Also, I rather spend my time living life rather than in front of a computer screen.

Thanks for reading.

Also, there is never an “all”; generalizations are stupid. Us humans have a lot of foes such as Greed, Lust & Jealousy. It’s a tough challenge and so usually the number that conquer it than the ones that don’t are usually smaller.
