A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hi a few questions, when men watch porn what are they actually getting off on? Is it the sight of a woman being dirty, are they pretending they are the man in the porno? My boyfriend says it's just the sight and pretending he is having sex with them comes when he needs an extra push. When they see the sex does it feel like it is happening to them? Men what do you think? Also why is seeing ejaculation so important to men?

The same reason we'd choose a horror movie one day and a comedy the next day. Variety is the spice of life.

It's the visual, definitely. You can find something that scratches just about any itch you have at a particular time, so it just speeds things up. Yes, sometimes it's seeing a girl being dirty. Other times it might be a girl (pretending to be) intensely aroused. Or doing things your partner would never consider.

No, I never imagine that I'm the one it's happening to.

"when men watch porn what are they actually getting off on?"

We're getting off on our hand stimulating our penis, porn is a visual aid that makes that quicker by arousing other senses.

"Is it the sight of a woman being dirty, are they pretending they are the man in the porno?"

Personally no. I'm looking at the sex, two bodies having sex and imagining I'm having sex, not necessarily with the woman in the porn.

"When they see the sex does it feel like it is happening to them?"

No, it feels like we're masturbating, seeing the sex just allows us to see the act without having to imagine it.

"Also why is seeing ejaculation so important to men?"

It isn't to me. But it is a visual cue of an orgasm, the same as moaning is a audible cue for women.

That's it really, nothing special or amazing, just useful. It means as much to us as dildos do to women, not necessary but a useful tool.
