P.S. When are you going to REALLY grow up?

I'd rather watch a porn movie than any of the political fantasy crap and historical revisionism that Hollywood puts out.

How long before Hollywood outs Moses or Jesus? Lincoln? Oh, never mind, they already outed Lincoln.

Notice how the only gay historical figures that are "outed" are conservative or religious?

Give me the choice and I'll watch a porn before I watch anything new out of Hollywood.

RE: Why Porn?

I wonder what is the driving force in the male psyche for 'porn'?

Surely there have been some useful studies carried out by reasonable people. Where are they?

Seriously...what on God's good earth would drive a MARRIED man to observe such?

I think I have a clue. But I'd like to hear what others think before I share it.

Chuck:

Married guys watch porn so we can masturbate. We masturbate because we get sex about 10% of the time that we want it. This is because our wives don't. It is not lack or romance, lack to oppurtunity, or lack of means. It is lack of motive. My friends and I have tried everything, and at this point, it is easier to not try anymore. Sexless marriages are becoming more and more common - sometimes it just devolves into a business partnership. Porn is cheaper and less risky than a girlfriend - I like my kids.

As far as the movie goes, I heard that they had a real hollywood premiere for it, and all of the actresses were a little shocked at seeing their privates 40 feet high, and everyone was saying that they didn't know how to watch porn without the fast-forward. :)

Other interesting material? Sure, chuck, if we're talking a good documentary or Fox News or reruns of Millenium.

But a Hollywood movie? I'm done with 'em.

Donut detailed realistic base motives and I can find no fault with his assessment and solution. To add to his explanation, I suggest another obvious reason: men are visually oriented and seeing the beautiful feminine form is satisfying - much like women receiving satisfaction over eating chocolate.

If women won't stop eating chocolate, why should men deny a fundamental masculine trait?

To each their own, compadre. I dont' watch television anymore. I killed it back in '98. Been happier ever since.

I might be interested in watching the History Channel, every now and then. But, by and large, there is nothing worth paying good money for on the television these days. That includes 'cable'. Just so much mind-numbing drek.

Porn is the same, if you've achieved, in reality, what it portrays on the screen.

I think I'll watch Pirates of the Carribbean tonight. Something different from decorating the house for an Xmas party this Tuesday.

P.S. I think I need to schedule a chocoholics party for this coming Christmas In July party; chocolate paté avec creme anglaise, home-made champagne.....

Chuck, you stopped watching TV - so did I and both of us about the same time.

Perhaps then you see why I say I'd rather watch a porno than a Hollywood production?

The taint of PC is everywhere on TV. One can only take so many lies before becoming jaded, or comfortable with burying the truth.

The death of truth is a sad thing.

Of course, even PC reaches into porno. I had the dubious pleasure of rating a couples film that held the premise that evil bastard conservatives were hounding the porn industry with censorship. The idiot script-writer trotted out the PC lie that conservatives are all about censorship, but the era he was writing about was the Tipper Gore Commission - a witch-hunt by a LIBERAL (Al Gore's wife).

Hollywood can't seem to shake off the lies and the PC fantasies long enough to realize that the lies only serve to hasten their own demise.

Sad.

Perhaps, but if you got wise to one form of trash, why not another?

Porn is, for all intents and purposes, just so much trash, albeit at a more animalistic level. And we get back to my argument that if you've got a good woman, i.e., the ideal mate, why bother with tripe?

If you feel a 'need' for such tripe, and you're married, maybe you should look into WHY?!?!??

Regards,

Chuck(le)

P.S. If one finds oneself married and still seeking after porn, they might consider looking into how to turn their mate into the porn queen of their dreams.

It's more difficult, as both need to 'learn'....a LOT. However, it beats the heck out of divorce.

The only "need" I have in my marriage is diet coke.

I do believe I am addicted and I do not care to correct it. Neither will I apologize for it.

As to the porn industry, there are worse vices to be indulged in - drugs, alcohol, criminal activities... hell, even smoking. However, I agree with your thought that a porn-addict should involve their mate. Such could result in fulfillment, rather than frustration.

Chuck,

I have been married for 14 years, with that woman for almost 19 now. People change - the person you married will not be the same person years later.

You cope. Or you find a change. I choose to cope.

The worst part? Like a scary B.F. Skinner experiment, the motive is completely random - long dry spell, long wet spells, triggers that should work, but don't, new triggers that work great. Sometimes it really sucks, but it beats the alternative.

BTW, my wife knows about the porn, and she could care less, she knows I ain't going nowhere.

Don't I know it.

Been there twice. But I finally wised up and married a christian. A REAL one.

If you want to get an idea of her, read Proverbs 31, latter part and the Song of Solomon. Then, to bring it up to current time, go watch Life Force and consider the female lead.

She's all of that...and more.

Merry Christmas....

I wasn't targeting you for any kind of blame. I freely admit my addiction to diet coke.

What in the world makes you think my addiction comes between my wife and me? She's addicted as well. She likes the diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper, though. Our addictions work out fine. I get DC, she gets Dr P.

If you've read and recall any of my other posts and/or articles, you'll know I don't apologize for anything. My diatribe over diet coke is my way of saying I am who I am and won't apologize for it. It's sort of a tongue-in-cheek way of telling people up front that I am offensive and politically incorrect.

Many people feel the need to emulate others - especially those in Hollywood - but those stellar characters all have problems as well, and in many cases worse. If we spent less time idolizing others, we would operate in a smoother society.

P.S. Look at it from this perspective.....

....christians have a private life. Something they don't parade about in public. Therein they revel in all the gifts God has given them.

In polite company, we don't brag about it. But in reality, we focus on each other, as if they were the most important aspect of our life. They aren't. And each knows it. He is more important. But, we understand that He wants us to enjoy every aspect of the proverbial 'good life'. Our intimate relationship is part and parcel of that life.

RE: The Blame Game

No blame necessary.

The point is that if you've got a good wife—you've got a good life—you don't need to waste your time on porn.

Hope that helps....

"I have no idea what you're referring to here. Please explain."

I assumed you were referring to my defense of porn (if you can call it that) and remarks at 2:53pm where I mention having reviewed an adult movie that resulted in your commentary back to me.

We rate adult movies intended for couples. We're in the industry, so to speak. If you had read the text of the link and the commentary there, you would see my comments and site-link.

I figured you saw all that.

Chuck(le) — Knew a fellow who married a '70's porn queen (if you've seen the movie Sex Boat, you've seen her). Nice gal. But believe me, according to him, the only sex she was interested in was straight missionary, because every guy she was with outside the biz seemed to be determined to prove he was as agile and "gifted" as John Holmes.

Also, if you want non-PC porn, go Japanese. Their porn industry starts whole genres depending on sex-related legislation in Japan.

Chuck,

I married a preacher's kid - she is finally becoming a christian again, and it has helped.
