All men watch porn, scientists find

Scientists at the University of Montreal launched a search for men who had never looked at pornography - but couldn't find any.

Researchers were conducting a study comparing the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular users.

But their project stumbled at the first hurdle when they failed to find a single man who had not been seen it.

“We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn't find any.”

...

Prof Lajeunesse interviewed 20 heterosexual male university students who consumed pornography, and found on average, they first watched pornography when they were 10 years old.

Wow alert the media!! My boyfriend of almost 8 years looks at porn. SO WHAT??!! I don’t know what the big deal is. Men are visually hard wired. Everyone knows that; dont’ know WHY they had to waste money on a study!!

to be honest, I'm not surprised they have difficulty finding someone around the age of 20 that hasn't seen porn of some sort given what they show in TV. I no longer subscribe to channels like HBO because they have shows that are essentially “soft porn” and on the public access channel there is (or was) someone who used to show porn and review it. I guess the public access channel figured it was a commuity service (pun partially intended).

Hey just because a guy gets distracted by some raw art for a few hours every now and then doesn’t mean he “consumes pornography”.

It isn’t porn. It’s research.

first watched pornography when they were 10 years old

That's about when I stumbled across my dad's Playboy stash. I just looked at it for the articles, of course.

A boy who sneeks a peek at a Playboy when he is ten years old is on a fast track to...normacly.

Now that Oui magazine is a different matter. One look at THAT content, and your life is gonna be full of decapitated hookers and bad tattoos.
