Because men are visually stimulated, is that a good enough reason for them to look at porn?

Question

A guy friend of mine and I are having this discussion right now. He thinks the female body is inherently more beautiful to look at, (I disagree b/c I’m a girl and I think guys are) and because guys are visually stimulated, society is ok with marketing the female body to sell and advertise things. He says that for that reason men shouldn’t be judged if they look at porn because society has geared them to want to see nudity and sex. I was just wondering what everyone else thought of this theory. By the way, I am not saying I have anything against people who look at porn I just wanted to know if this reason was enough to justify doing it.

Answer 1

Not really, it actually can work against him, they have airbrushed photos and unrealistic expectations. Some guys actually can get addicted to porn which then is affecting their performance. When you look at these guys like Hefner, that to me is sick, that's like child molesting when you think about it. I think womens naked bodies are beautiful also, but with their birthmarks and imperfections. That's what makes them human instead of plastic.

Answer 2

There is nothing wrong with looking at porn. It is very true that men are more visually stimulated and yes it is more acceptable for men to look at porn than women because of this. And actually, even though I am in no way batting for the other team, I do agree that a woman's body is more visually appealing than a man's.

Answer 3

Porn has been around for centuries. Long before sexuality was being used as a sales gimick.

Men have been Visually Stimulated before there ever was porn. It's the way the brain is wired and the male hormones.

Answer 4

I think we all use too much media (television, film, etc.) to escape from having to deal with real relationships. It's easier to answer a stranger's question on the internet then, say, explain sex to your kids. That being said, not all "normal" behavior is necessarily healthy. Your friend's theory sounds a little self-serving. He should probably just admit he enjoys getting off on porn and stop trying to justify it.

Answer 5

People always have a reason to justify their evil deed. It doest matter wether the subject/center of pornography is woman or man, what matter is IT IS AN EVIL DEED to look, to manufacture, to sell, etc porn materials. No religion in this world allow or even tolerate pornography, in some religion it has a punishment of death.

Only in a devilistic society, like most society nowadays, where pornography rules.

Answer 6

No, men shouldn't be judged if they look at pornographic material because it is something they chose to do. It is not illegal, it hurts no one, and all parties involved in its production are adults who are willing to do this. The same way women should not be judged if they occasionally look at pornographic material, or if they occasionally imagine what a guy looks like under his clothes. Its human nature to be aroused by sexual thoughts, and no one should be judged for how they chose to handle that, so long as it is within the bounds of the law.

Answer 7

i do not think their is anything wrong with watching porn ,depending on what type of porn you watching it can be considered art , however i don't really see a reason to justify watching porn who cares it's there look at it or not , personally if a woman wants to put her self out there to be looked at and get paid for as long as they are willing 18 or older then i have yet to see the problem , it's there life i say have fun , latte rs

Answer 8

Society says its ok to look at porn featuring women because society is largely run by straight men and they have a double standard. Women = sexy, men = not.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I tried to read the entire message, but I was distracted by all the porn I'm surfing....

Serioiusly, you should look at what kind of porn your "man" is looking at, and immitate it for him live....guys who surf porn are bored with their sex life....
