Els Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 In lieu with the porn-thread fad, I kinda want to whet my curiousity with regards to this. Please be at least somewhat convincing; 'I'm pretty sure my 60-year-old father doesn't!' doesn't really cut it, I'm afraid. I'll start first: I do know a few, actually. Two brothers from my church; they're VERY religious, have been brainwashed about it to the point of asexuality. A woman in a bikini could walk past and they'd just be disgusted. Both, who are in their late 20s, have never had girlfriends; they believe that their life is better spent serving the church than dedicating it to one woman. They don't even get most dirty jokes. While I can never know for sure, I can at least say with 99% certainty that they don't watch porn. Another is my ex. He has watched it before when friends dragged him into their group-watching sessions, but he's never enjoyed it. He masturbates maybe once every few months; and those necessarily happen in the bathroom, because he shares a room. When new game xpacs come out he probably doesn't masturbate at all til all content is cleared. Anyone else?
AlektraClementine Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Good question. I don't know any personally. But if I had to guess, I'd say that men who don't watch it at all are more likely to be of the religious ilk. That doesn't necessarily mean that they don't want to, but they may have more guidelines that prevent them from watching it.
samspade Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I'm sure there are scores of men who aren't interested in porn. It's not for everyone. Scoffing at a near-bare female figure on the beach, though....I'd say those church boys are not only brainwashed, but lying to themselves. And this... He masturbates maybe once every few months; Good God! I masturbate almost daily, even IF I have a girlfriend.
Chrome Barracuda Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Damn I nearly masterbate 4 times a day, that's how high my drive is. Whoever heard of masterbating at months at a time? WTF , maybe he has a very low libido or sex drive. I've heard of being Asexual, damn what a curse! And watching porn isnt such a bad thing, it's only when it consumes' your life it becomes a bad thing.

Okaaay, let's not turn this into the 3847934th 'Is porn bad?' argument that this board has seen, please. I have nothing against porn, I love it. I'm just curious if any of you personally know guys who don't watch, and what their reasons are, or what sort of people they are. With regards to my ex I believe he's just addicted to games. I guess a drug addict wouldn't masturbate much either. Also... well, the church boys are actually very happy and content with their lives. Don't have much problems or stress because they believe God will take care of them in everything. So, each to their own, I guess.
Chrome Barracuda Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 oh well in that case I dont know many guys who "Dont" watch porn!
Art_Critic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Zero... but there are a few on LS that proclaim they don't watch/look at it.. I would think that certain religious type don't watch it and of course men that have been on the wrong end of porn addiction and they are on their road to recovery or have wifes/gf's that enforce a no porn rule because of their insecurities but of those 3 type I mentioned they are I would feel in the minority. Who hasn't been sent a porn vid by a friend or coworker and watched it ?..

Who hasn't been sent a porn vid by a friend or coworker and watched it ?.. Hmmm, good point. Maybe I should have set my title as 'who don't enjoy watching porn' instead of 'who don't watch porn'. But that's a bit harder to quantify... perhaps 'don't watch porn regularly'? Again, hard to quantify...
GorillaTheater Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I watch it sometimes, but it's fairly rare, maybe for more practical reasons than morality. Work isn't a great choice for a venue, and our home computer is in the kitchen (so we can keep one eye on what the kids are doing). Perhaps oddly, when I do watch porn, I prefer seeing women my age. How sick is that.
Author Els Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 How sick is that. That depends on how old you are.
GorillaTheater Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Mid-to-late 40s. Millions of teeny-boppers out there, and I'm looking at amateur housewives. I'm so ashamed.
Author Els Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Gosh, only 40? When you said 'sick' I thought you were 70 or something.
sxyNYCcpl Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Obviously, I do not know the porn viewing habits of every person I interact with, but of those that I do, 100% use it from time to time.
GorillaTheater Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Gosh, only 40? When you said 'sick' I thought you were 70 or something. It's proably the avatar. I kid about my preferences, but it is something I find interesting. The women's thread on their porn preferences was fascinating.
Star Gazer Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 My BF doesn't. He has watched it in the past, but he doesn't own any, nor does he seek it out. I told him I'm totally, absolutely fine with it, but he just doesn't care for it. It's not that he doesn't like it, he just doesn't care one way or another. Watching other people have sex just doesn't do it for him. *shrug*

Star Gazer Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Interesting. What does/did he masturbate to, then? Apparently, thoughts in his head! He says he's a big fan of doing it in the shower... kinda hard to watch porn in there. Perhaps it's just a matter of (in)convenience? I dunno... I certainly don't need porn to rub one out!
Author Els Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Well, that's true! Some use the tissue method instead of the shower, though, although I'd figure shower is certainly more hygenic. Someone once told me that he'd watch porn then dash out to the bathroom to finish it. Made me so glad that I was a girl, heh.
2sure Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I was just going to post that I know my H doesnt watch porn. He doesnt enjoy it, it doesnt do it for him. I couldnt believe it myself so soon after marrying out of curiosity, I looked at his computer. He was looking at porn alright...but it was all pics he had taken of me. Cant complain there. Then I thought about it. I have no issue with porn. I enjoy it. But of my LTR's ...none of them have had a porn habit. I dunno.
Author Els Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Hmm.. but that was only after marrying you, right? My bf doesn't really watch when he's in a relationship, except for some spanking vids when I asked him to do it to me LOL. But when he was single he did watch them quite a bit.
Scottdmw Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I haven't watched it at all for over a year, and before that it was very infrequent for the several years prior. I'm going to largely quote what I said in another thread for my reasons: Personally, it's something that I stay away from for a couple of reasons. I find it uncomfortably addictive, in the past when I've watched it I found it somewhat difficult to stay away unless I stopped watching completely. I started wondering if it was damaging my ability to relate to a real woman. An analogy that I thought about a lot was what would happen if you ate candy and ice cream all the time to the point where real nutritious food didn't seem so appealing anymore? If I was used to instant gratification, how would I react to a woman who had needs of her own rather than being ready at the flick of a button for me? And, I definitely thought that porn had a far stronger pull on me personally than candy or ice cream. Then you read about the stories of men who end up watching it for dozens of hours a week, at work, when they're taking care of their kids, etc. It sure seems like it can be a problem for some people. I am also pretty religious, but I don't blindly follow moral teachings unless they make sense to me. I have two reasonably close male friends who say they don't watch either, and at least one who does. I haven't talked about it with the rest of my friends, so that's harder to say. Scott
Trialbyfire Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 My ex-H didn't have time or use for porn, although he had viewed it as a single man! My fiance finds porn funny, just like I do. Can't get into people looking their most inelegant, piss-poor acting, comedic moaning and baaadddd music.
2sure Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 REVELATION!! The men I have been involved with had in common not only their lack of interest in porn... But also: They were each, in their own twisted way , quite narcissist. Current H included. I said my H only looked at pictures of ME as far as porn....but in reality he was probably looking at himself banging me. Hmmm. With other porn, since he isnt in it and doesnt even know the women...he isnt interested.
Art_Critic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I said my H only looked at pictures of ME as far as porn....but in reality he was probably looking at himself banging me. Hmmm. ........ hahahahaha
gopher Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Being single currently, I'll watch some porn, many real people, not plastic porn stars. But, when I'm in a relationship my partner is enough for me, either with her or alone. Even now, porn may arouse me, but typically I'm thinking of a past sexual experience.
