Opinion of pornography

[opebo]

Horrible entertainment, and horrible thread.

So how do you get it off?  Looking at men's clothing catalogs?

I recall last time this came up you posited I stared at the wall.

See, my opinion of you is on the upswing, old chap!

...the physiology of a woman is different from that of a man.  Therefore, she cannot get aroused as quickly as a man can.  And when you're in a relationship, it helps to know that.  You cannot rush into having sex -you have to get there slowly and gradually.  Since this board is moderated by Inks, I am obviously not going into specifics, but foreplay is a big part of it.

Total stereotyping Frodo!  I've had many girlfriends who wanted it NOW, and even more that disliked all that 'foreplay' nonsense.  (I'd say about 30% have been into the oral prep, and about 50% have downright disliked it -- you'll often find that v.orgasmic women find the oral just kind of pointless or even annoying/ticklish).  And if you were a little older you'd know that most older men (not me yet thank goodness, but I can guess it could be coming) probably take longer to arouse than their partners.

Quite honestly it is a matter of taste, and your claim of some generalized physiological difference in 'arousal time' is just baseless, and the basis for a lot of pseudo-scientific stereotyping.

Yeah, I'm with Opebo on this one. With the exception of the oral part though - in my experience "I don't like oral" usually just means "I haven't had it done well"

Garbage.  Its usually a matter of their perception of dominant/submissive or gender or whatever roles they're most comfortable with/excited by - as in, the guy who 'takes' them is a lot more exciting than the kneeling considerate.  That, or more rarely just anxieties about cleanliness of that area, or simple disinterest in or dislike of those particular sensations compared to those of actual intercourse.

I am not sure what sort of natural instincts you think we are restraining.....

Really?

Yes, really. I think you are differentiating between rational though and what animals do, but don't even realize that is what differentiates us from other species. That does not mean we are not animals. That is just what makes us different. If we acted like other animals, our species would we wiped out within a year.

I haven't watched porn in a long time.  I've gotten my tastes down so much I can pretty much go off memory for what I like.

I see I fit nicely with "the crowd" on this one.

Impressive.
