Is it only men who view internet porn ?

Read an article on internet porn and how it's "The new marriage-wrecker.... How the technology has created what some call an addiction."

It's not the marriage-wrecker bit that interested me but the statement that said "An increasing number of men appear to be hooked, and the women in their lives are flailing about in unhappiness, self-doubt and self-blame."

Some food for thought....

Is it only men that view porn, and the women who are suffering? If this statement is true, why ? (Is it in men’s genes, opportunity (eg. broadband at work), not getting enough sex.)

Do women view porn?

I get easily bored with it... It takes all of 15 seconds to get bored, as a matter of fact.

It's like anything else in life. I'd rather do it than watch it.; ▶ Reply to This

Everywhere else, it's just as easy to get, and police officers don't care, (hell you can walk into a video store and 25% of the time it will have a shelf for it).

Before it was common and ignored, places usually had a back room where they kept it and sold it, as in movies.; ▶ Reply to This
