My boyfriend and I quite regulary look at porn magazines together and i really enjoy it!This is something which I have always seen as taboo and perhaps even slighty 'wrong' or 'immoral'., yet my boyfriend is completely comfortable with walking into a shop and buying a porn mag! As a female this is something I would NEVER do but why? The reason for this is due to the way in which we still revert back to old fashioned ideas of women being innocent and not enjoying sex and if we do then we are seen as 'sluts' or a woman with loose morals.Even in 2007 this has not changed for example I rarely discuss sex with my friends and I wouldnt tell many of them how many men I have slept with for fear of being seen in a bad light! Yet our male conterparts are constantly feeling pressured to lie/exagerate their sexual history. this is completely ridiculous yet it's the way it is. A question I would raise is how can someone NOT like porn? If they say they don't then they are lying and covering up all these repressed sexual feelings. One thing which gets my goat is feminists who campaign against porn... Why are they doing this.. Oh a feminist crusade..NO..They just don't want their partners to look at other women and don't feel comfortable with themselves.

You are not unusual. Like the previous poster said..there are many women who enjoy viewing porn. But dear, I think, you likely will state that your porn use does not take precedence over your interest in your partner, or in any way do you allow it to come at the expense of your relationship. Am I right? I think that is what a lot of females hate-is when their partners use porn to the degree that they themselves are overlooked. Some guys just take it way too far and due to these excessive porn habits, many females feel they are not the center of his lovemaking, anymore. In effect, 'HE' is now is the center of his lovemaking, with whatever goddess he wants to fantasize about whilst making love to his gf.

I have known several women fascinated by porn - I think it is becomming more and more common. Perhaps due to he prevalence of the internet at university etc. it is becomming more 'normalised', even if only joked about as part of popular culture, and less 'brown paper bag'.

Not sure if this is a good thing though...

Cool Cucumber agony auntMmmm this is a delicate issue. So many people have conflicting ideas about porn. It depends what kind of porn you're talking about here. Are you in a relationship? Is it affecting anyone close to you? If the answer is no, then in your particular case it is not harming anyone. Some women think that it affects a mans desire for his partner, and in some cases it may have an impact, in other cases it can sometimes strengthen the relationship if you are both in agreement and comfortable with it. Now we live in a less male dominated society then say 30 yrs ago, women think that portraying women in this fashion is degrading and they are getting quite agressive with the way they react to such things and taking more of a stand about it. Anyway, I am kind of 'generalising' here, but hope that this has helped a little!!

So may I ask why you dont care that

-porn treat women as a series of body parts

- that it teaches men that women arnt sexy if they show ANY signs of having brought life into the world or aging

-

that the HUGE majority of female porn stars were sexually abused as children and make the terrible decsion to disrespect themselves like this because they are in no sane state of mind to make healthy decsions for themselves

-That porn is totally telling lies about how real women look and behave sexually (yet the men can (and often do look like crap)

- that it basically degrades all women and will its effects impacts on every woman you know and love including your daughters in the ways they will be treated in the world...(pretty sad to know your daughters future bosses will probably be sitting viewing porn and objectifying women then pushing her around)

Its bad enough when men have no respect or brains. Most men sadly do put their sexual urges above having an ounce of respect for women.... but for a women to do that...huh?????

I dont think your strange i myself dont see anything wrong with watching porn as a female, it wasnt just labelled as something for men! Your getting in touch with your sexuality and theres nothing wrong with that.People who think what your doing is dirty are unsure about thier sex lives dont worry about it carrying on doing what you do.
