A Very Simple "Yes/No" Poll: Do You Watch Porn? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

HighintheClouds · 8th Nov 2008, 10:11 AM

And I mean on a regular basis. BOTH soft and hard porn. And if you've just taken a hiatus and have started again or are in a hiatus then it still means yes as you know you're gonna start again. =P

(And yes, I think I might be getting irritating for creating polls over and over again....)

Paul_UK · 8th Nov 2008, 10:13 AM

No. Well very occasionally, but you said "on a regular basis" so mine is a NO vote.

8th Nov 2008, 10:14 AM

i don't. BUT... do drawn pictures count?

8th Nov 2008, 10:15 AM

I don't have time for porn. I'm way too busy. Thus I said no.

BlueRose · 8th Nov 2008, 10:34 AM

If it weren't for my roommate I'd watch even more. And there is absolutely nothing shameful about watching two guys going at it. Also, does reading it count? In which case I'm even guiltier. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

HighintheClouds · 8th Nov 2008, 10:35 AM

Haha. And in case you didn't realise... When I said BOTH soft and hard porn, I meant "either soft or hard porn or both". Sheesh, I should stop making polls at 2.30 in the morning...

xequar · 8th Nov 2008, 10:47 AM

I literally have porn in another tab as I'm posting this.

**Lexington** · 8th Nov 2008, 10:48 AM

I prefer both written erotica and drawn images over standard pornography. But since they're all a means to an end, I said yes.

Porn is my refuge from depression. For the moment, I am slowly weaning myself of a particularly bad bout. Spent way too much time in it because because because... Definitely the sign of something real missing in my life, and I know what it is.

**Jim1454** · 8th Nov 2008, 11:12 AM

I voted no.

I used to - and for me it became a problem. To the point where I couldn't stop, and it interfered with other aspects of my life. So now I have to abstain completely.

Paul_UK · 8th Nov 2008, 11:32 AM

All, please don't say where you get your porn! 18+ websites etc can't be mentioned here. Thanks!

**EM68** · 8th Nov 2008, 11:33 AM

Occasionally.

biisme · 8th Nov 2008, 11:45 AM

I voted yes (and slightly ashamed/embarressed). I'm not embarressed about watching/reading it. It's more like the frequency/content.

Kimi · 8th Nov 2008, 12:15 PM

Hell yes. Of course I watch porn.

That's why I bought 1TB hard disk drive so I can store them

**Gerry** · 8th Nov 2008, 01:13 PM

I think anyone who would say "no" wouldn't be telling the truth -- at least at some point in their life. Maybe not all the time, but I think most people have at some point.

Markio · 8th Nov 2008, 01:24 PM

Porn is a very general term. I don't watch pornographic movies, but I tend to look at pornographic images. Mostly I just imagine very bizarre sexual fantasies that I probably shouldn't go into right now...

Nodnarb · 8th Nov 2008, 02:40 PM

I guess it depends on what you mean by "regular basis"...but I voted 'yes'.

Swamp56 · 8th Nov 2008, 02:45 PM

Because I'm a virgin in a non sexual relationship, mine is a giant YES xD

Apocalypte · 8th Nov 2008, 02:50 PM

Well I'd be lying if I said I didn't.

That said, I prefer written erotica to watching porn in general, but sometimes a girl's just gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

killthedirector · 8th Nov 2008, 03:17 PM

euh. yes.
for fun, not for any other purpose.
