    There's a common thought that all gays love beating their meat watching pornographic videos everytime. indeed for most I have seen on the internet, it seem to be the case but for some reasons I don't really like it and I wonder there are other people like me.
    Don't get me wrong. I did watch porn videos a few times. I am no paragon of virtue. I can be aroused at first but after a while i slowly get uncomfortable, disgusted, awkward and a bit ashamed like if I was spying the intimacy of a couple behind a window (even if that's not the case of course). So it turns me off before I should climax. :confused:

    What do you think?

    I think that you can stick a 'Perfectly Normal' label on your forehead :wink:

    Porn's fun, but sooooo unrealistic and it can be addictive. Like alcohol, it's fine in moderation, but it can be a problem.

    Not everybody's into porn, the same way not everybody likes strawberry ice cream, finds heavier men attractive, or has a love of dubstep. Everybody's different, there's no need to beat yourself up over it.

    Porn can be fun but you can easily end up watching it everyday...... Yh that happened to me once :/. I would much rather not like porn then like it, it has some negatives.

    Fixed that for ya :wink:

    That's one complaint my mom always loves to talk about that one and how, "All men are perverts and that's all they do is watch porn and sleep around!"

    Well, you were around her when she said that, so you proved her wrong.

    There's nothing wrong or even unusual about not enjoying porn.

    I'll also say that, though a lot of people feel some level of guilt or shame about watching porn (or the idea of watching others have sex, when done with their permission), if you really step back and think about it for a moment, there's no reason to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about it.

    Sex is something that everyone engages in, and there's nothing inherently shameful or uncomfortable about it. It's just that we are raised to believe that it's shameful. So it might be worth just giving some critical thought to your attitude about it, and why you feel that way, and whether it's something you want to feel.

    If not, you can work to let go of that, which will probably also help you to enjoy your sexual self more in other ways as well.

    That's a sentiment I really loathe and it's sad that there are people out there that genuinely believe things such as this.

    I agree to a point. I don't really watch porn all that often, mostly because I feel kinda weird watching other people do it, and I have a low sex drive. I like sex, I just don't need it all that often.

    There is that stereotype that gay guys love being sexual and jerking it all the time. But honestly, anyone who believes that is ignorant. Everyone watches porn. Everyone gets off to porn. Guys, girls, whatever. It's just something nobody talks about because its seen as a bad thing.

    Porn is so boring and awkward. Trying to find something decent that actually gets you off is so hard. I usually get 2 minutes in and just x the tab out and forget about it. It's really normal not to like porn :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Porn can be good, unless it becomes addictive (which it definitely can) or teaches us bad habits (for example, by eroticizing the pain of the female partner, a problem endemic to a lot of straight porn).

    I hardly watch it, and only then indulge in gay porn. Even then have to be of the right mindset- if I'm especially depressed or dysphoric, just makes me bitter and angry to see guys getting off the way I'm unable to. In the right mindset, only setback's making sure everyone else in the house is away or asleep so I face no awkward interruptions.

    Porn does nothing for me at all. I do put it in for my husband at certain times, but I am never looking in the direction of the tv set when it's on. I am a strange one anyway when it comes to these sort of things. I need either sexy talk or his hands on me to get me hot! And I seem to only be able to climax one way which has nothing to do with masturbation. So what good is porn other than to give ideas of new things to do if it's freaky. June

    I guess porn is alright sometimes but things like sizes are a bit of a joke it's not real .

    I used to be into porn but it's all so boring now. Quite desensitized to it now so I rarely watch it.
