I was thinking about starting a thread about porn myself, and then I came across this one.

I'm nearly 50 years old. I was sexually molested once when I was about 10. I experimented with porn off and on over the years (my use has been of the vanilla variety- I don't even like kinky stuff. I kinda like the sex that both people are obviously enjoying). I admit kinda like it, and I'm not so sure it's wrong in and of itself. Sex is natural and beautiful, and the human body is natural and beautiful, as far as I'm concerned. I have a good relationship w/ my wife. I honestly think I've used porn because I'm in control sexually, as opposed to being molested, so it's satisfying in that way- it's like I'm taking sex and making it mine, instead of being mistreated sexually.

But, I have to admit to looking at women in real life in ways that probably made them feel uncomfortable, and I'm not proud of that. I have 2 sisters that I love dearly, and I'm not sure I'd want them knowing about what I look at, and the thoughts I have.... But, then again I wouldn't want them watching my wife and I when we're having sex, either, lol.

Sex is such a personal thing. I suspect it's hard for all of us to express just how we think of sex, even when it's with legitimate partners we needn't feel shameful about.

So, is porn an issue? I don't know for sure. I'd like to get to the point where I don't look at it at all. And when I do live without it, I don't miss it all that much.
