Same with porn. If watching porn is enough to emotionally pull someone away from their relationship, isn't there a deeper problem to begin with? Otherwise, how can you explain the thousands, perhaps millions, of other people who watch it and AREN'T adversely affected?

I believe Harley's quote and the article answers this. Watching porn is getting one's sexual needs met outside of marriage. THAT is a problem. Read the article.

Many marriages ARE adversely effected by porn, so I don't know where you get the idea they aren't. Porn is as damaging to marriages as alcoholism. Dr. Harley spoke about this today on his show.

Why don't you call him up right now and tell him that marriages AREN'T "adversely effected by porn?" He will be on for another 30 min, until 1pm cst at 888-606-1776

Many of the men in porn are great looking, muscular, and well-endowed, but you never hear men complaining that they can't compete with those porn stars.

What's up with that?

I don't complain because I know that I have sixteen orders of magni2de more brain cells than all the porn stars in a given movie, combined.

Are the women in porn movies cute? I accidentally flipped on a porn movie in my hotel room in Michigan several years ago and they were skanky looking!! One was so skinny that you could see her ribs and she had these little scrawny boobies and bleach blonde hair with black roots. I remember wondering how anyone could get turned on by that! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

If I had a mind to be jealous, it would not be about porn movies, because I bet most are skaggy looking ho's, but rather about girlie magazines. I have seen those and the women are pretty.

And as Kid Rock says "it's ain't bragging if you can back it up". LOL, and you can!

Ark,

I only saw one porn movie, many many years ago and it was so gross I swore I would never have sex. I mean I watched about five minutes and yuck, just YUCK! And they were skanky and dumb looking. And don't get me started on the guy in that thing. Gross.

And I ain't no prude!

I thought we were more concerned with emotional needs.

I never said that there are no marriages adversely affected by porn. You've got to learn to read here and not make assumptions. What I said was that many marriages are NOT adversely affected by it. Big difference.

Yes, but your joke was so sophomoric and weak. I know you'll have to look up one of those words. Go ahead, we'll wait........................................................................................................ O.K. Are you back now? Say something funny and it will be appreciated, even by the one whom you are trying to insult. But make a joke that is stupid, easy, and of a 5th grade mentality, and you're just going to come across as....well.....stupid, easy, and of a 5th grade mentality.

Please don't offend the intelligence of these fine folks here on MB's.

Chris, Chris, Chris...another one of these boys that likes to talk behind his keyboard.
Okay...you win Chris....it was a 5th grade joke..it was intended to be.
Now your question was what...if it was an honest question it shows you are clueless about women in general...if it wasn't, it just shows you are an insensitive jerk that shouldn't be allowed to play with anything other than himself.
Now, Chris...time for me to get back to school.

See, when I think of porn users, Beevis and [censored] come to mind. I envision ************edit********. That is FUNNY, in a sick sort of way.

Hello again folks.

I have a question that I would like to put to this forum.

My girlfriend wants me to go to dinner tomorrow night with her brother and his family. They are visiting from out of town.

Is it fair of her to expect me to pay?

Most likely it would be her brother and I splitting the tab.

I think it should be her brother and HER splitting the tab.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.


one of Chris's recent posts...now Mel...how often do you think it is happening for this guy?

I can only speak for myself. I consider myself an attractive woman and I hate porn, not because of what the women look like, but how it appears that their needs are not being met - it looks fake, she looks like an object and the director is only interested in displaying porn to meet the needs of men. I have seen porn where the women actually look drugged and don't seem to know what is going on. Or they are so hot for a man's big penis that they don't have any other needs for anything but that. It is so incredibly corny and stupid. And please, the woman on woman stuff is ridiculous.
