I've known guys genuinely repelled by it

there are no exceptions?

frequently, are both women. But, maybe they are just less ashamed about it then SOME men are.

Broad brush, much?

No, not all men. Though way too many. But no, not all, not by a long shot.

I consider it to mostly be for teenage boys and dudes that aren't getting any real sex. Why would I want to watch it when I can be doing it? It's just very juvinile in my opinion.

And it gives people unrealistic expectations of what sex is supposed to be. Most women do not want to be pounded for an hour straight (and most guys can't do anything approaching that anyway) and most of them don't want to be bukaked at the end of it.

I don't care if people enjoy it, by all means, do what you want. I just find it kind of silly.

I don't want to use the Goggle.

Please tell me that was a deliberate mistype....

Though if you MUST...Wikipedia has an article on it. NSFW, but much better than googling the term.

You don't want to get that in your eye.

It's when a guy (or several guys) ejaculate on a woman's face and body.

that way you won't end up with egg on your face.

also.

most of the ones who are not into it say they just find it mostly boring.

I presume it's hard to get girlie mags in the shower.

And I am a guy.

So your hypothesis is falsified.

There are many other guys just like me. I assure you that is a fact.

I am just not interested in viewing other people's prurient desires. Why would anybody presume that all men would? Or any woman? Or anybody? That presumption presumes a lot that just is not true.

I didn't bother responding to him, preferring the guys themselves to speak out.....I'm not trashing the porn watchers, just saying there ARE guys who don't care for porn and no, they're not losers

looks like that guy was ejected anyhow

but I don't believe it for a minute.

eom

I'm sure that some of the sex-negative feminists(most of them radical, I'm sure) will be overjoyed by this, but I'm sex-positive and I don't feel that ALL porno is bad for you, and I know I'm not alone in believing such, either.

inquiring minds

Oh, that's right, of course they don't.

I put my small brain to work!

Or were you on her and off her?

You probably would, you sicko.

She would be like-

Who is that a picture of, why are you putting it in a frame, and where in the fuck do you think you are going to hang it?

...so they don't need to spend as much time watching porn to get the same effect.

Or, maybe because they're measuring the time spent viewing porn in hours, men who don't have more and better things to do with hours of their time have smaller brains.

Seems to suggest then, that men who do NOT watch porn have bigger brains. So, all like... five of them. Poor bastards.

"So, all like... five of them. Poor bastards."

Almost as poor as those who project their own habits onto others for a sense of self-validation...

But, you know, I find sneering egomaniacs just a little more annoying.

from Hodors point of view..


CHAPTER 1

Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor Hodor .

Two possible reasons: less intelligent people have fewer other interests; or it may not be a matter of intelligence, but of level of 'natural' arousal and stimulation, and under-stimulated people are more likely to seek external stimulation such as porn. In order to check which it is likely to be, one would have to see whether it also correlates with IQ. Lower grey matter doesn't necessarily mean lower IQ; it depends, for example, on where in the brain one is talking about.

Also this is just one study, and it may be that the next study will contradict it!

By the way the article makes clear that there is no claim of causation, there were no strong conclusions, just a correlation. The authors themselves agreed that more study was needed. A lot more study. Intensive long term longitudinal cohort studies.

"....Intensive long term longitudinal cohort studies."

different races from the late 19th and early 20th century!

Same type of study.

The 19th century 'studies' were much worse, however; they went solely by size/shape of head, and drew all kinds of unfounded conclusions about the brain.

There are still 'researchers', especially from the evolutionary psychology field who make all kinds of unfounded conclusions about gender and racial differences in intelligence. I don't think this is quite on the same level; but 64 people isn't a lot, for drawing conclusions.

What I really am worried about here is that some people might go, 'OMG! Porn shrinks the brain! Ban all porn!' Which is neither a valid conclusion, nor a realistic aim (and I'm someone who dislikes porn).

I became obsessed with it until I realized that a symptom of having a longer index (shorter ring finger) meant you ... were more susceptible to "woo"! It's just weird as fuck that it explains so much about my personality. I hate that. So I just avoid that theory completely. Fuck that!

(It probably has a lot of validity to it mind you.)

Everytime I see these kvetchy semi creepy OP's about the porn habits of someone other than then the OP I thank God for making me gay.

XXL motorcycle helmet barely fits (it's comfortable but I think 3XL might be loose, without spending extra I'd get a half inch larger).

I will not confirm or deny that I watch excessive amounts of porn, but if this study is correct perhaps I have a thick skull.

Without the hairstyle.

I'm not kidding either, I remember watching Fresh Prince or Seaquest DSV and my entire family telling me to lay down. I couldn't sit up to watch TV (I needed glasses; didn't learn until later; so I sat real close to the TV and would block the view inadvertently!).

If anything it was weird that I didn't realize I needed glasses until I was almost 18. Homeschooled, never really had my eyesight tested, just, sorta went with the flow. Then POW, real life hits, and you find out you've been nearly blind for most of your life. If anything that first pair of glasses was a truly transformational experience.

All thanks to Fresh Prince.

I'm well into High Degree myopia, myself.

Although now I'm at the age where I'm starting to get it on the other end, too.

edited to add: I wonder if it was the porn?

Those bastards!

Next scientist will find that those that believe these type of studies have significantly less grey matter!

a willing sex partner, due to the fact that they may not be the brightest candle on the altar, so they watch a lot of porn to compensate.

Am I supposed to like gospel music because you think it is sent from God? (Yes, family members tell me this).

Am I supposed to eat only dandelion greens and raw veggies because you think it is the correct thing to eat? (Yes, I have many friends who tell me this).

So what if you don't like porn? DON'T WATCH PORN. Some people like fucking on film. Some don't. Some do it to pay the rent. Some do it for the rush. Some do it say piss off daddy or mommy, some don't have a daddy or mommy.

WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHAT ANYONE DOES WITH THEIR BODY?

the reactions here were entirely predictable.

were hilarious

almost all of them were hilarious.

Like a band no one else likes, and you start a war. Like a comic no one else likes, same thing.

So there's kind of a difference there.

Performers are not raped in porn.

You point to two negative experiences that two performers encountered, and yes, their experiences were horrible, that does not mean that ALL of porn involves rape. That's a ridiculous leap.

Second, most of porn is rapidly moving away from the traditional porn companies. It's becoming more and more, DIY. Most performers set up a web cam in the privacy of their homes and sell directly to customers.


Bottom line is this, people enjoy performing in porn and people enjoy watching it. I can post books written by porn performers who enjoy their work.

Yeah, never mind.

You obviously arent interested in anything that doesn't support the mantra that porn=good.

Is that your argument? Even the people sitting at home having sex with their spouses on a web cam. These people are raped as well??

When you said:

And, yes. I do think that porn, by and large, is a good thing. It's art like anything else is. Like movies, video games, music, paintings, sculptures, poetry, etc. It's a form of release from the every day world.

And like a lot of people, I do watch it, and I have no shame about it.

If I am watching porn and run across anything like that, I go to some other video. Then again, I rarely watch much straight porn on purpose. Unfortunately, I have to wade through miles of semen to get to the only women parts a lot of times. I hate that. I wish there was more lesbian porn made by lesbians for lesbians, and no rape stuff or rough stuff, for me, thank you. I'm against the stuff that traumatizes women. Reform would be much better than trying to ban porn though.

In all varieties. In fact, there are quite a few lesbian porn companies, run by women, that make the kind of porn that you're looking for.

It would make things much easier for me. Thanks. I had no idea.

When I get home. Send me a reminder. My small brain does not hold much information these days.

Saw it the other night. There was an entire segment about women porn producers. Redqueen and many of the HoF members want you all to believe that all porn is evil rape committed by men, but they might get an eye-opener from this CNBC show. No, it's not all positive. But it's nothing like what the HoF people make it out to be.

Popular tactic I guess, sad to see it used here though.

Just sayin.' Not that I've ever been there.

Men smart enough to lie about watching porn have bigger brains than those who don't.

I do Sudoku and Crossword Puzzles at the same time I watch porn. I figure they cancel each other out, and my brain remains normal sized.

About porn -

I laughed out loud! A dry sense of humor always makes my day!

I hope it is my butt. I'll start watching more if you say my butt!

I'm sure it is not saying they are unintelligent, right? It sounds to me more like they might be desensitized. Remember the old saying about how watching television rots your brain? Maybe it applies to porn too? Then again, what do I know? I watch porn from time to time and feel myself becoming desensitized. I no longer feel the need to keep an umbrella handy in case I run across any straight porn in my search for good lesbian porn, which is difficult to find without having to wade through miles of semen first. :/
