Why is porn only wrong when a guy watches it?
Nowadays, women probably watch as much porn as men but they are never verbally assaulted for it. Whenever a guy likes to watch porn he is always called the dreaded p word (pervert) and other similar words. Guys who watch porn are also seen as being disrespectful to women because porn is seen as being disrespectful to women.
This is something I can't understand at all. In porn, both women and men are naked and participate in sexual acts so wouldn't that make porn disrespectful to men also?
You also hear about porn being wrong because it causes women to have low self esteem because they are not "perfect" in terms of body like the female porn stars. This I can't understand also because if you watch Girls Gone Wild and other porn you will see that there are many different women. Some fat , some thin, some with big boobs, some with small boobs but the guys are usually the same very muscular and they have above average size penises because of the drugs they take. On most porn sites there are a lot of advertisements for natural male enhancement but you see little advertisements for breast enlargement.
I think that society greatly frowns upon men for watching porn more than women because it [society] sees the female body as having greater value than the male body because women are seen as the givers of life so their bodies should be covered and protected.
What are your thoughts?

I tend to hear people say that it's normal for men to watch porn and not so much for women...
I don't really hear the arguments that porn is evil as much anymore, aside from if you watch porn you must not be getting any sex.
But I do agree with your points.
Porn = Eek.
"seen as the givers of life" for the people who think that, how many do you know who can procreate without a man's sperm?
And don't fling me your b/s about how men don't have to go through the pregnancy we are not even on that subject so try to stay focused.
Women need to seriously get this through their head- It's SELF Esteem... it's esteem of your motherfuckin self! Don't look at some bitch then go home and stair at your naked self in the mirror and be like "I'm fat, she's pretty, I need to lose weight (when you're already 90lbs), I wish I was as pretty as her". It's called JEALOUSY which is really what makes you look ugly because you can't be confident with what you look like. Sheesh.
Anyways, I hate it when women call guys pervs for looking at porn. Either leave us alone and keep your thoughts to yourself or deal with it. Honestly, I'd rather have a girl who knows I watch porn and go up to one of her female friends and be "He's just a guy" instead of "Ya he's a total perv". Wouldn't you agree with me?
Because we feel that there should be a double standard for men since there are so many for women.
the only argument i can see is that the women in porn are often put in demeaning situation more often than their male counterparts. you'll notice this a lot unless femdom is your thing. but no, the female body is no more special, and people shouldn't get crap for watching porn - regardless of gender.
that lame-ass picture is so not porn for women, by the way. it only perpetuates the stereotype that men want smut and women want hearts and shit. ...which is the opposite of this post's intentions, i thought.
The only women I know that would call me a pervert for watching porn are usually born again christians.
"This I can't understand also because if you watch Girls Gone Wild and

That has GOT to be the most incorrect statement of the century. If you ever even had to watch a GGW commercial you'd realize all the females look EXACTLY the same. There is absolutely no variation. They are all blonde, and stupid. When did you ever see a super flat chested or obese woman in any of their videos? Oh right. NEVER.
And as for the men? Hell no they're not all muscular! The man varies far more than the female porn star does. Sure they all have big penises, but because they typically aren't the focus in porn (straight porn at least) they tend to not care what guy looks like. I mean after all the most famous porn star that's still alive today is not only fat; he's hairy and unbecoming. Just unclean looking.
@Duke6932@xanga - well i don't think "he's just a guy" suffices because it implies that the enjoyment of pornography is an intrinsic (and exclusively) male quality. it's just a stereotype that only guys watch porn.
the "perv" comments are completely unwarranted, and i think people have wicked insecurity issues. but please don't call the other girl "some bitch." =/
And by the way the image that you used is from a cover of a book that makes a list of desirable traits for men so that women can basically say "if only my man did that."
Like there are coupons for the woman to actually have control of the remote for once. Its kinda cute.
@Duke6932@xanga - So you're saying you would want to be demoralized through words attacking your gender? I have no idea why you're so angry, but seriously, chill the fuck out. You obviously have some issues with porn.
Porn is for men and women.
I call everyone perverts, mostly jokingly.
I don't think there's anything wrong with men watching it as long as they don't get obsessed and try to hide it from me.
we are all human being. come on
"Nowadays, women probably watch as much porn as men but they are never verbally assaulted for it."
Incorrect. Women may watch as much porn, but they only talk about it under their clothes with their friends. Just like sex. Don't be fooled.
But of course, women may not watch as much porn at all, but instead read erotica. since women are more word oriented, versus men who are more sight.
"if you watch Girls Gone Wild"
THAT'S porn? Girls gone wild is one of the most awful things ever invented, rated up there with the poisonous gases they used in the holocaust, agent orange, twilight, and emo.
I have a friend who likes just about anything with women naked in it, and even HE said it wasn't porn, just bad.
However, everything else in this post, is correct.
@kyleberg29@xanga - actually, I hate to drop this news on you, but there is a scientific way as to which women can procreate without men. its just very unwieldy to do, since us guys don't want to be out of a job.
@woo_cha@xanga - So many double standards for women? Men are expected to do everything, and not cry, complain, ask the woman to do it, and of course, do it right.
but that's okay, I'm up to the challenge of being AWESOME, because I'm a MAN.
But enough trolling aside, women and men are equal. Seriously. any double standard the media gives a woman, the same is expected of men in reality.
@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - not necessarily all men want smut, and not necessarily all women are put into demeaning situations in pornography. It's just that the hardcore smutty stuff is what grabs the attention of so many women, making them say that porn is bad. but if women didnt like porn, and thought it was bad, then none of them would be doing it.
@lovechartreuse@xanga - there's a deck of "quiet cards for guys to give to their women. How convenient!
@SliverLines@xanga - you may think different when he has some sort of odd fetish.
@Gerald_Washington@xanga - I think women have a deck of quiet cards for men as well. =]
@lovechartreuse@xanga - I
would just rather have it that way because of it's stereotypical usage
because stereotypically speaking only guys look at porn which would
make them pervs and no, I don't have any issues with anything. The only
thing I'm pissed about is how women always complain about how the other
girl is always prettier when they can just be content with what their
body is like and the fact that you told me to "chill the fuck out" when
you just can't be civilized and respectful when talking to someone else.
@Duke6932@xanga - I don't know what got your panties in a bunch but you obviously have issues with women then, probably some kind of rejection issue because of your porn addiction. But if you're going to stereotype girls, don't get mad when we stereotype you as a pervert. =]
I personally don't want to look like a porn star, because they look fake and disgusting.
@Gerald_Washington@xanga - That might depend on the fetish. But for the most part as long as it's for entertainment purposes, I think it's all good. I've had plenty of conversations with people, both men and female about porn and so far, no creepy fetishes. Just gotta watch how you pick em and and remain open.
@MissPixieGlitter@xanga - took the words out of my mouth.
I used to have the same question about why "porn" was demeaning to women and not men...cuz aren't both having sex?
Then I started to watch porn...and all the facials and gangbangs. I cannot think that cumming on a chic's face can bring about anything other than psychological pleasure of sexually dominating a woman.
@Gerald_Washington@xanga - And what might that scientific way be?
@kyleberg29@xanga - I wish i could tell, you, i saw it on those bogus msn/yahoo headlines.
@lovechartreuse@xanga - Honestly I don't have issues with women and I don't have an addiction to porn and even if I did why would I make it obvious to the point where women reject me?
Did I ask for your input? No.
Do I care? FUCK no.
So in hopes to make you quit while ahead, the only obvious issue I have right now is you and your constant ridiculous replies to all of my comments so far. Don't turn this back around on me because I don't back down from arguments online or offline so do me a favor and FUCK OFF and let's call it a night ok?
And no, that does not give you permission to reply back.
@Gerald_Washington@xanga - Yeah key word there being "bogus" You shouldn't believe everything you read on those things.
@wonderland7386@xanga - yeah domination is okay and all, but wheres the fun? my personal policy about sex is that if the chick im having sex with isnt having fun, then im not either. but hey, different people have different ideas of what is "fun".
@Duke6932@xanga - So pathetic, no wonder you need porn. :x
