Does Men's 'Bond' with Porn Ruin Them for Real-Life Sex?

http://healthland.time.com/2011/02/09/d ... -life-sex/

Men's obsession with Internet porn is affecting their libidos, and making it impossible for real women to satisfy them. That's the thesis of a fascinating feature in a recent issue of New York magazine. Writer Davy Rothbart describes his own experience of having to fake orgasm with a woman, because his overuse of porn had made reaching climax during intercourse nearly impossible.

:nocommment:

Almost like how Harlequin romance novels affected women and their romantic expectations of men.

Hey soulshiner you read that 'fast' LOL

How about those vibrators? That does not answer the question, but it would seem to be a valid question, if the first one was.

I think it would really depend on the man. For some it would rev up their libido.

And I know at least one guy who prefers porn to putting up with a real woman in his life.

Saw this story on Chelsea Lately last night of a man who went on vacation across the country with six sex dolls while leaving his wife and kids at home. Stranger than fiction?

He did not, there were only four and he did it as a gag for his friends in Vegas

LP, guess the facts come out. It is still a pretty bizarre trip to make.

Porn is for losers...if your mate needs porn to get aroused then he/she needs help. Porn is one of the most disgusting and vile uses of media.

Let me be clear - I don't think porn is a government issue
(other than ensuring that minors do not have access to it).

However - it's a huge social issue.

Ask:
- cable or satellite company
- hotel
- gas station attendant
- corner news stand.
- Internet DNS service

Porn sells. It is hands-down one of the largest segments of the US media industry.

It represents one of the largest single segments on the internet.

We tend to make it a big deal in the US by trying to criminalize it. I think that's a mistake
(it's unconstitutional, and can't be enforced).

However - I think Porn does ruin relationships, since it changes the way one person looks at another
(it changes their attitude as people turn into objects -- and it changes their expectations from real to fake).

I think the New Yorker is a good forum for a discussion (and Congress is a lousy forum).

Overall, I think Porn is a poor choice of "reading" material. It's not welcome in our home.

First, I have heard the same about women watching love stories or reading romance novels. They expect a man that is like a girl. And the thing is women are not really attracted to men like that (in a general way). It depends on the person for me.

I think pron can desensitize some people. Boring and the same over and over. If you prefer that over regular sex there is something wrong. The emotion or even the kindness is what makes it nice.

I am the first to admit I have trouble understanding men that can have sex without emotion. I know many that can just walk away with no emotion or even have less emotion after. I could never 'get' that. So, I will give you that one. Maybe someone can get me to understand it. I had one friend that explained it better than anyone else has. But I still have not figured you guys out.
