Interesting article on porn

There's some good thinking in there but I think she's off a bit. I really don't think that there's any slackening of male libido (pretty hard to accomplish that), its just that a lot of men are weenies who don't have either the balls or don't make the effort to ask enough girls out, after all porn will never doesn't require you to make any effort or risk getting your feelings hurt or have your self-confidence undermined. As in, "**** it, there's a 95% chance I'll get turned down anyway and that sucks, I'll go home and jack off" not "I don't want to have sex with you, I'm going to go home and jack off while thinking about sex instead!"

Some of Pekkes post-date comments on his date thread seem eerily in line with what Wolf says though.

No woman can please me like I can. They don't know the do's and dont's. I accept that sex might be better than myself if I find the partner stimulating in every other ways too than physically. I don't say 'stop', I don't look ugly in the morning, I don't make myself pregnant, I don't make myself get STDs, I don't fail me, I do 100% what I like.
I like to be able to please the partner too, but that's only if I care about her, and that takes longer than couple of dates. So why would I look for poor drunk sex, or go the trouble and effort to end up in bed with someone who is not even pornstar material?

He's probably been watching far too much porn

It's called taking power away from females, at last.

I think she's missing something there....like: "wanna watch some porn tonight honey? "....and "wow, isn't that kinky....let's try that!"

[Agathon]

as the Old Testament puts it, “rejoice with the wife of thy youth; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times.”

Who says religious people are prudes.

She's right about one thing though, IT will eventually have this effect. I can think of plenty of people who would prefer virtual sex to the real thing.

Teledildonics- it's the way to blow/go.

Fortunately, such people by their very nature will be weeded out of the gene pool...provided we put an end to those frigging sperm banks.

Do you think being a shut-in is hereditary?

[Pekka]

Nah.. I totally stand by my words when I say that random sex with strangers is usually poorer. It takes two to tango naturally, and I'm nto saying it's BAD, it's ok or good, but it can be also boring. I didn't say porn rules, I said sex is overrated. There's a difference there.
Good sex should be fulfilling both ways, and about other things too to make it GREAT. And for that, there needs to be feelings. I don't know how this is saying I'd rather do it myself. I'd rather have GREAT sex, I just need a partner to do it who I care for and who cares for me.

Porn is good for my libido - masturbation increases it. Sex isn't. It exhausts it.

Edit: But the best thing is a Rocky Horror rehearsal, two sweet girls and a sweet German redhead named Dolf. Bloody trains leave too early so Tom and Dolf had to go

Next time. Plus I'm Frank in three weeks so
