It certainly sounds reasonable to discuss his views and habits regarding porn and strip clubs.
I do have to weigh in on the mention of porn as a "crime scene" - I doubt most of the mainstream porn sites would risk posting criminal activity because their sites would be shut down for police investigation, losing them $$$. I would be interested in seeing the article you reference. I've read several life stories of women in porn, and it pays well enough that there will never be a shortage of women who will do it. That said, many women in the sex trades come from troubled childhoods including sexual and physical abuse, rape and incest. These are not nice industries and most porn is not a nice thing. I wrote an article about the portrayal of women in porn for a friend's thesis project. In a word: subjugation.
That said, a whopping number of men view porn regularly. A quick Google search gives figures from 42 percent to 80 percent of men have looked at it in the past week. I'm not sure guys these days ever self-pleasure without it. (?) Young guys anyway.
Good luck with the discussion.  |
Thank you....
I want the 20-58% of men who don't watch porn. I was aware of the fact that a large portion of men do watch porn... porn is one of the highest searched search terms on Google each month globally.
I am so dead set against it, that I cannot bring myself to date anyone who watches it while we are together in a committed relationship.
I do have some flexibility within me though around this topic. If a guy is single and uses it to self pleasure, then I have far less of a problem with it because I do see it as a tool for that, a tool which makes it far easier... and when a man is single, well, he doesn't have a partner to do those things for him.
BUT, when a man is in a committed, loving relationship, that's where I draw the line.
I've also read articles about how damaging porn can be to a committed couple. So there are articles that back up my stance on it being damaging.
