Freshprince Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Hey girls! If a guy told you that he did not look at pornography, would you believe him? Or would that be too good to be true? What if he said it on an online dating profile? Would that make any difference? Thanks!
Pfiend101 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 lol. I'm a guy and do look at porn. Whether the guy does or doesnt I think it would be weird if he put it in his profile or brought it up without being asked. It would appear as if he had a problem with it.
Andy_K Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I agree. I've been weeks/months without looking at it before, and could give it up easily enough if I wanted to, but I've never been remotely driven to volunteer this information unprompted to random strangers. I'd consider it a very weird thing to put on a dating profile. I would assume he's just trying to 'impress' girls and show he's not all about sex.
Ross MwcFan Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Yup, weird to state it on a dating profile. I'm not sure if I'd believe a guy if he said he didn't look at porn. Especially if he's single.
ilani Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 no. and i dunno if not looking at porn is considered "too good to be true". that's not exactly something I care all that much about. i agree with all the posters above. seems weird that a guy would make this statement.
dreamingoftigers Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I think that it would be wonderful if he didn't. I would wonder why he felt the need to make that so public though.
zengirl Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I believe there are some men who don't look at porn. To randomly announce that fact -- out of context -- would be weird. Don't put it on an online dating profile.
tigressA Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I agree with the others who say to not put it on a dating profile. I would only bring it up in relevant conversation with a SO. I would be apt to believe a guy who said he doesn't watch it. My first boyfriend was one of them. I admit I wasn't surprised by his answer when I asked the question because he's pretty religious, was an adherent to abstinence-'til-marriage.
BeginAgain Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 It is as believable as a woman being a virgin whether it is true or not.
oaks Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 What if he said it on an online dating profile? I think it's a bit strange to mention it on a profile. Maybe there's an interesting story to find out about on the first date. I'm imagining that the outcome is "no, I don't look at porn, I just star in it."

Enchanted Girl Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 It would make me happy if it were true, but it might take some convincing and getting to know the person to see if they are trustworthy or generally a liar. Especially since I have a past in this area. My ex lied about looking at porn and when I found out that he looked at it, it was more than just a casual thing, he was actually addicted to it and it started destroying my sex life with him. Because he was the type that needed more and more stimulation from it (he began to watch really extreme porn) and allowed it to bleed so much into reality that he could never be happy with anything I gave him because I was just one woman and he said he wanted to sleep with a bunch of them. And destroyed our relationship because I wasn't into polyamory and accused me of being the selfish one for not letting him live out his desires. I don't enjoy my current boyfriend's porn use, but so far it isn't destroying our relationship. It's something you tell a girl after you've been dating her for a little while. Not on your dating profile.
MissJoness Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I don't see how some men can become so addicted to porn, it ALL looks the same; same different positions just different actors doing the same thing. Personally, I'd be weary of a guy who looked at porn too much because it is likely to lead to other things--like watching transvestite porn, gay porn, child porn, weird fetish type porn. After awhile, watching traditional sex is gonna bore him and he's gonna start to need something extreme just to reach the basic level of satisfaction.
EyeJustDontKnow Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 If it came up in casual conversation I don't think it's a very big deal. But making it a part of a profile? Sort of rings "Methinks thou doth protest too much"
Art_Critic Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 I personally would believe that he is using it as a line to separate himself from the pack. Would I believe it.. no.. Catch him.. Any person can claim it but you don't know him and it might be months if not longer before you would be in a chance to actually find out. I can believe that a guy doesn't watch porn...right now.. but will he watch it in the future .. The other thing it does by putting it in his profile is that it brings sex to the forefront of the conversation from the get go.. How convenient...

Except for child porn (that I know of), my ex watched all of those things and he was the one who said he hated porn to me. XD
