As per the request of my friend Rob, I am writing a blog about this
A study hoping to compare men who watch porn with those who haven’t encountered it has been derailed — because researchers couldn’t find any men who hadn’t indulged in X-rated material.
Scientists at the University of Montreal had to change the focus of their project after failing to find a single male aged in his 20s who hadn’t been exposed to adult videos and images.
“We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” the Telegraphreported Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse as saying.
“[But] we couldn’t find any.”
Surprised researchers decided to instead explore the men’s porn watching habits, finding the average age of first exposure was about 10 years old.
And while being in a relationship may not to completely remove porn from a man’s life, it does appear to cut their habit in half.
Single men watched adult content about three times a week for an average of 40 minutes, while those with partners watched it 1.7 times a week in about 20-minute blocks, the study said.
The abundance of pornography available on the internet has meant online content accounts for about 90 percent of porn viewed by men, while video stores about 10 percent.
So, this is supposed to be a shocker? I mean, I have never met a guy who has never seen porn. But, I am always a bit baffled at why porn is so alluring to anyone.
First of all, I managed the adult editorial teams/worked in adult editorial for Yahoo for years. Nothing out there shocks me and I know way too much about the topic. Hence, I also know how fake it all is. I guess, once someone has “worked” within the adult world and has seen a ton of it, it just becomes blah and kind of boring, and the focus shifts on how well they have touched up the scars from breast implants and to see which chick fakes it best.
But then, I am a female and apparently we are not as visual as the male of the species. And then, I would always have to admit that certain past experiences have left me kind of jaded when it comes to “adult entertainment.”
Yeah, yeah, I am well aware that all men watch it and seem to truly enjoy it, but I have always been one of the rare ones out there who would rather not participate in watching this stuff. I should also add here that most male porn stars are utterly ugly looking. The girls usually look hot but the guys are usually dogs; and unfortunately, I cannot refrain from looking at a person’s face in order to find them attractive. I guess one isn’t supposed to check out the faces in porn, but I can’t help the fact that I am more like a “package” person who needs to find all parts attractive in order to be turned on.
I have to admit, there are times when I wonder why my husband married me, ’cause I sure as hell am not an easy/mainstream person. But that is an entire other conversation. Thanks, Andrew, for loving me the way you do!!
