THE TRUTH ABOUT MEN & PORN
Last night I watched porn. As a woman I have to say that I have never really got the whole idea. Watching other people pretend to have sex just doesn’t do it for me. But it does do it for men. OH BOY DOES IT DO IT FOR MEN. They love porn. If they could get away with it porn would be low cost and freely available anytime of the day or night. They would watch porn on their Video iPods, while they are in hotels, while they are at work, while they are waiting in traffic or on the subway.
Oh wait they do.
Porn is solely responsible for driving technology forward. Don’t tell me for a second that the growth of the home video industry, and small screen technology was not driven by the promise that men would be able to watch old reruns of Archie Bunker. NO NO NO it was for PORN.
The strange connection men have to porn is complex. Ok not really complex at all. Men like to watch porn because it is the only reasonable substitute when they are not having sex. Men who sleep with women do not have as much sex as they would like to have. (NOTE: This of course, does not apply to gay men who have as much sex as their partners will give them failing that they sleep with other men.) Porn is their only refuge when their partners are tired, would like to read a good book or just are not in the mood.
Frankly I don’t think men could live with out it. Porn is a big business so I don’t think it is going away anytime soon.
A man who watches porn is redundant. All men watch porn. They may be shamed out of watching it by their spouses but send them on a boys weekend and the stogies and the stag films will emerge.
Don’t be alarmed if your man is watching porn. Just let him have his outlet. As long as it is adult porn and he doesn’t spend to much time watching it (less than 2 hours a week) just let him be. Plus he will think you are the coolest wife on the planet.
If you are a wife and you want to make your man’s birthday. Don’t give him tickets to a game give him a subscription to a porn video on demand service.
