why do guys like porn so much?

Answer 1

cause women are beautiful creatures

i especially like it when my gf likes to watch it with me

Answer 2

Seriously? Well...given that everyone will do a throw-away one-liner, let me give you a more psychological explanation:

Research has looked into this and it seems that the following is true:

1. Most men respond to visual stimuli. (Women by contrast seem to prefer auditory and textual material -- probably explaining the success of women's erotic literature such as Anais Nin's Little Birds vs. the mass-produced Playboys and Penthouses that men gape at.) It's no fluke that the most common definition of pornography includes visual media but usually excludes other types of media which deal with "gratification".

2. Men do become sexually excited more easily than women. Evolutionarily speaking, this is valuable -- if there is an opportunity to reproduce then the male has to take it, if his line is to continue. (Also remember that sexual acts are often self-reinforcing -- as a consequence, quite a few men tend to develop pornography addictions.)

3. The trend is that there tend to be more males in Western society than females -- and it's getting more pronounced. In a situation like this, you'd have to suspect there's quite a few "frustrated males." (At least it leads to a type of sex which is safer than some alternatives.)

4. A good deal of the pornography out there is positive, as opposed to negative (e.g., leading to violence). Though it is true that one can morph or transform into the other, most men tend to associate themselves with the positive stuff (which is usually respectful of the other and the Act) -- which arguably is a good thing, not a bad thing.

One final point: though I don't approve of pornography, I find that it does have some value.

Answer 3

I used to be into it. I havent watched any porn in over a year now. For me, it was an escape from my everyday crap. All my relationships suffered for it. Instead of addressing the problem, I just got deeper into porn. Don't get me wrong... the women were hot and I enjoyed every minute of it. But the realization came that life is just not like that and it took the help of my church and counseling to free myself.

Answer 4

Oy vey. I think women in general (there are always exceptions!) look at things and think that there is always a detailed, complicated answer behind them. And men (again, there are many exceptions here, too) simplify things so much, and honestly, that is a very good thing! We know that they look at porn, and we think, gee, I must not be good enough, or I don't please him enough, etc. And we think that there are all of these deep reasons as to why they are "interested" in other women. But for the most part (there are exceptions here, too, b/c there are people, men and women, who are obsessed with porn, and that is unhealthy like any habit), men just look at porn as a "quick release", if you will. And they enjoy the female body immensely. They like looking at differnt shapes and sizes. And it's as simple as that. That took me about 2 and a half years to finally accept. But if the person I'm with is happy and treats me good, doesn't ignore me or favor porn to me, what can I say? How can I be angry at that? So really, it's not as big of a deal as we women generally make it out to be!

Answer 5

Guys like porn because they like the woman parts.

Answer 6

It's not just guys. Women like porn too, if I must say so myself. And, it's not all people. Some men & women hate porn, others like it. It varies from person to person; gender has nothing to do with it.

Answer 7

There are many reasons and it's probably not possible to a answer reasonably to such a generalized question. There are two terms, which cover a wide range of very different realities and circumstances. What is - in your question - 'porn' and what means 'like'?
Besides the psychological reasons there may be some very practical ones :
To buy porn is faster and easyer than to find the type of girl playing the part of one's sexual fantasy .
You do not need to expose yourself to a girl and tell her what you want and risk that she may not like it and probably compromise you.
You do not need to engage in a personal relationship and can get rid of your papermates when you are fed up - or ashame -with them.
Many guys may think, girls in reality do not like sex (unbelievable but true)
other guys may think, they are not sexually attractive to girls - at least not to the ones they'd like to have sex with,
other guys may think, they would miss something in their lives if they haven't seen thousands of nude girls,
other's estimate nude women as kind of a magic mystery which
to disclose and expose makes them experienced and somehow invulnerable against female intrusion into their secret worlds as they had to suffer from their too much curious mothers.
Sexual fantasies of men often compensate or even revenge feelings of inferiority, humiliation and surrender they suffered from in their relationship with their mothers. Unconsciously, they watch and humiliate their nude mothers.
Another unconscious revengeful satisfaction may consist in watching nudes of the type they know or believe their mothers would hate for some or other reason.

These answers are just scratching a little the outest surface of an immense bulk of taboos, precognized notions, collective lies and dreams.
The question is much more important than generally admitted. It touches many sensitive nerves of the main problems of our societies and of civilization.

Answer 8

For most guys sex is a visual Thing.
as in They se a Girl they Like and get excited. Porn gives them all of it right up Front.

Answer 9

come on! How many times is this question going to get asked?
Its a generalization, and its sexist to its core. It implies that all guys like porn and by that implication is a stereotype or a misnomer. Its no more true than if I were to ask why all women love to cook chocolate cake, because my sister does.
How about ask the guy that caused you to think why its all men that like porn this question and you'll have your solution!

Answer 10

because we'r men! thats what we do! ladys dont try to understand it, seriesly, its by nature we think about sex i think what was it....15 times a minute? and porn is just a way of releasing that sexual tension we have. This is my best of explaning it, if you dont get it then dont bother move on...

p.s. u lot know any good porn sites?

Answer 11

I dont like porn. I just can't understand why some girls actually do that kind of stuff for money. Dont they have any dignity or respect for themselves?
