Do you watch it with your children and grandchildren?

Of course not.

[Freebird Forever]

This shows the ignorance you have with the Christian Faith.

Hardly. I am fully aware of what is written in the Bible.

Faith is a personal thing. "Gorilla pimping" someone else to accept the beliefs of another is Talibanesque.

I had a huge discussion with my guy friends about this, some married, some not. We came to the conclusion that most guys in their late 20's, 30's and 40's who watch porn are probably doing so because their sex life stinks and they are not getting enough from their significant other. These guys, including myself, are tired of hearing the same old tired excuses and find it easier to watch porn than to beg for sex from their wife who would find it more pleasing to go visit her parents or spend time with her friends' kids or something.

Nah, to be perfectly honest, you're looking for excuses. More specifically, you're shifting the blame. You're rationalizing your behavior, and actually blaming it on your wives or girlfriends. You'd be better off if you just admitted you like porn.

I don't dislike porn. I could lie down next to it and go to sleep. I just don't find it particularly arousing, and that really has nothing to do with how much sex I'm getting at home. I don't watch sports either. I think I just lack the spectator mentality, period.

Sorry, wrong again!!!! She actually finds it interesting and it helps add spice to our life. Sometimes we just joke at it.

[AntiGuv]

hmm, in any case, you are entitled to your opinion.

Of course, that is true by consensus, but two mutually contradictory opinions cannot both be correct and valid (they can also both be wrong). My previous post demonstrates why at least yours is not, at least in part.

However you don't believe in absolutes then.

That is false, and demonstrably so. It is also demonstrably true that you should know that this is false, since you have clearly been informed of that. The last time I checked your creed condemns lying. Who is the alleged prince of lies? ;)

God is the supreme absolute. to not believe in God, you don't have a standard for truth.

That is your opinion. I regard your opinion as absolutely false and invalid.

[Zavien Doombringer]

And you won't find too many guys trailing behind these women on outings either?

I can guarrantee you if men gave thier women the attention they crave and deserve then you wouldn't find those excuses i.e. headache, tired, etc.

You really need to learn more about your woman. I see you think you have it figured out.

Justifying the sin with lame excuses is easy, after all, Adam blamed Eve for his sin.

[Melas]

Give it time the thread is still young.

[Andrew LB]

Comments like that must come from a twisted mind. I'm a responsible 26 year old adult and can look at legal adult material all I want. So can my girlfriend, who likes porn also.

[StoneColdGOP]

Pornography gives way to rape and pedophilia?

OK... You know what, I've seen plenty of porn and have yet to commit rape or sexually assault a child. I have this thing for adult women, consenting adult women.

Sorry to shatter your misconceptions.

[Zavien Doombringer]

Hmm, I for one do not "gorilla pimp". But taliban style is not the proper way to address it. NO one that I know of is getting killed for not converting, or the women having to cover themselves....

Sure there are some that are extremist... I count them as looney, they aren't working for the Lord, but actually driving people away from Him. They spout scripture as if they wrote the Bible. That doesn't matter to me, Satan knows everyword too...

[chris1]

Absolutely not, I am telling you based upon my conversations and discussions with close friends, we came up with the same consensus.

I refer you to Dr. Laura's book about men as evidence, not my anecdotal claims. She hit the nail on the head so dead on with that book based on interviews with 3500 men. Were they all wrong too?

She was crucified over that book! Unfairly, of course.

[Skooz]

Incrementalism.

Uh. OK.

[StoneColdGOP]

Good job there, Minister Goebbels.

[TheOtherOne]

“The purveyors of pornography repeatedly challenge us to prove that pornography causes violent crime,” said Rep. Harris. “I challenge them to prove that it does not.”

Ah geez, another dimwit in office. Yikes.

[Zavien Doombringer]

Hmm, this is like someone hitting you in the head with a baseball bat and you are telling yourself it's a feather. In reality, you and I are going to die, that is the extreme absolute.

[Andrew LB]

I agree. People really have some wild misconceptions don't they?

[finnman69]

“No one gets addicted to The Washington Post. No one gets addicted to James Joyce [author of Ulysses, a book with some erotic scenes].”


I love my porn, but I am far more addicted to FR.

[chris1]

I don't mind watching porn if that is the question. As far as excuse, I am not trying to blame anyone, but trying to describe a dynamic that many many guys I know seem to experience.

Its seems to me that many guys and females do try in the beginning to give the tit for tat as far as attention goes, but somewhere one seems to give more and the other seems to get less.

It could be a human thing I guess, just what is told to me.

[Zavien Doombringer]

Ok, so you aren't effected by porn as some.

[squarebarb]

Bella Bru just got told to shut up on another thread concerning rape and torture of children.
