Internet pornography and being single

I’m going to make some general assumptions, which don’t always hold true but I believe hold true for most instances, so please don’t quarrel over the small things, but look at the big picture.

Assumptions

Men are more into sex than women.
Men are visual creatures.

I believe the decline in the number of stable relationships and the fact that divorce rates are at all time high is in someways attributed to pornography. I’ve read this article a few days back that claims in a few years, single households will outstrip coupled households and that in NY city more women will be single than men.

This could be in part due to women having financial freedom so they don’t need a man to support her financially. But I believe in a heterosexual relationship, it is often the man that chases the woman for sex. Now days, a man can click on a button and see fresh porn daily and visit brothels or go to a bar for one night stands. The fact now days money and sex are so readily available to both sexes that they stopped needing each other.

Is this decline in the number of stable relationships a good or bad thing? Do you support porno on the net?

Aye.

Generally, in the larger social context, it is being shown to have negative impact for society as a whole.

I only support good pr0n. Mostly Asian pr0n. Oh, and midget pr0n too, have to have some high quality midget action, that’s a must.

You may be right and why am I not surprised at Mas posting? Not only posting but, posting first… Crap I am second…Nevermind.

One thing you did not enter though is the over advertising of sexual aids. The drugs, the surgeries. Porn and sex aids ,seem to me, to be turning sex into more of a hobby then anything else. The sexual dimension in relationships is competing with that hobby. Its not the need that is diminishing, its the daily competition that may be the crux. The average human is being put up against fantasy in a wierd competitive way.

In moderation, pr0n is fine. I guess the horny male has to ask himself: Whay do I love more, porn or my partner?

To which any lucid male would answer, “Pr0n is obviously superior.” Pr0n is always ready, always submissive, (unless of course you prefer dominating pr0n), and if you don’t like the sound of pr0n, you can just shut off the volume. You never have to validate pr0n’s ego, or reassure pr0n that it isn’t too fat for you. Pr0n doesn’t want flowers, candy, dinner, or to be taken to the movie. You can have multiple pr0n partners, none of whom ever complain or feel slighted.

If pr0n disappoints you, you can walk away, without any arguments at all.

When you are done for the night, you can roll right over and go to sleep, and pr0n will never question you for that.

Stuck on PrOn are you?

Beats marriage, which is causal of the emasculation of the male, and eventual cerebral death, if he agrees to succumb to the wanton desires of the female, and her constant need of validation.

Yeah, pr0n wins, hands down, no contenders.

Yea, right like men are the only ones that get into porn. :laughing: Have you seen the latest magazines for women? And do men have adult toy parties?
I have seen a number of strip clubs for women too. The world is changing since I was born. 40 years ago porn was hidden, the unspoken bane of humanity, now its wide open and celebrated. It competes with intimate relationships.

Mas,

In a word: bullshit. Porn is about superficiality. Period.

What is love making begins with heart-mind intimacy from which physical sex may arise. (used that word just for you) But physical sex and sexual intimacy should never be confused. They aren’t even close to the same thing.

You sound like a guy who would rather spend the rest of his life with a blowup doll, than a real woman.

What about couples who watch porn together? Or ones who make their own porn?

Yeah, but Mas, where is the electricity in all this.

She’s the stripper waiting for me down at the club, after I’ve had my fill of pr0n.

Other than that, electricity is what runs my PC so I can see the pr0n.

You want that I should send you a box of chocolates after that effort?

Heart-mind intimacy? Fuck that, use them for a socket, and move on. Just make sure to include the wet naps for cleanup.

Mas,

Don’t you try to out-curmudgeon me! You’re still in training. I’m the head cynical curmudgeon here… :wink:

Porn cannot fulfill any erotical desire you may have, as there is no eros involved: there is no distance (because there is no other human being), so there can arise no urge to bridge the distance. Even in the case of a prostitute there is no other human being involved, as you don’t desire them as human beings (but only as bodies - animated, perhaps, but not possessing a soul (personality)).

Sauwelios,

I can appreciate your perspective, but there are two problems:

1.) I don’t find metaphysical positions believable/useful. That has been left in the dust.

2.) Being an individual who has lived through the socially contracted marital arrangement for quite a few years, I am now weary of all the trivial and banal strategies exhibited by the female for her procreative drive … bored sir, flatly, plainly, succinctly … bored.

Mind you, that doesn’t negate the urge for depositing the seed. I view pr0n about twice a year, always with a contingent of the Man Council®. Pornography is generally boring, unless you have some slobs to swap jokes, quips and homosexual inferences with and express your masculine overdrive. As often happens, this thread, (my thanks to oldtimer), offered the opportunity to be slightly misogynistic and inappropriate, without becoming a complete anathema, at least by those in the know.

I’ve procreated three times, producing four children. Sex is utterly mechanical at this point. The women in pornography, although it may only be my experience, are far from real. The titillation is mild at its very best, and love or a soul doesn’t have a thing to do with sex.

I left love making buried in lime in my early twenties, since then, it has naught been other than the expression of pure animalism or marital expectation.

Someone tells me to “go fuck myself”, I take that as prudent advise. Women have agendas, men have chemical desire, delusions and fantasy … nothing could be more loving than that combination I suppose.

Macaroni it sounds like you’re not getting the right porn buddy!!

LMMFAOROTFL … ass.

Thank you for your support Smears. =D>

I think that images can suffice to some extent in replacing original data. We know things from the images in the figure legends of the JCB, or the American Physiological Journal and we haven’t actually seen the data ourselves. Having another human being physically present is in no way a requirement for good sex.
