Thats 100% exactly me too. I've had a few girlfriends (am single right now though), but am still a virgin. I don't look at porn too often, maybe once or twice a week - sometimes less, sometimes more. All it is to me is a temporary substitute for the real thing. Similar to what Fett56 said, I'd much rather even just cuddle on the couch with a girl than sit in my basement with the Titty Board (which is my sole source of porn these days). Floorplay obviously doesn't make me orgasm or anything, but it satisfies my lust cravings much better than jerking off alone. Being with a girl just makes me feel good about myself. Like an orgasm for the mind I guess you could say. Thats something porn can never do.

I believe it was also Fett56 who mentioned prefering his imagination to porn. I'm the same way. Even if i'm not jerking off, I love to just lay in bed and use my imagination to play out senarios and fantasies, some lasting as long as a half hour, if I can keep concentrated and stay awake. Thats actually how I can put myself to sleep if I can't get to sleep otherwise. It's very relaxing.

To get back on topic of the article, internet porn has always been my sole source of pornography (by the way I didn't read the entire article). I've never even bought a Playboy or other magazine, and have never rented a porno movie. I've always just used the internet because it's so easy and convenient, and see no reason to go out and spend money on something that is available for free in much higher quality and quantity. In the last year or so, the Titty Board has been pretty much my only source of porn. Occasionally i'll visit the links board and see if there are any interesting videos floating around or something like that. I prefer pictures to videos though, even when jerking off. Maybe 1 out of 4 times i'll watch a video instead.

Sweetpea mentioned watching porn WITH your girlfriend. This is something I would love to do, but have never had the chance. Most of the girls i've talked to about porn are opposed to it, and think it's pretty gross to look at it. None of my girlfriends have been interested in watching it. I think it would be pretty fun to watch it with a girl and make commentary about it. Make jokes and just talk about it like people talk about movies or TV shows when they watch them together. Seems like it would be a huge turn on,
It's not really something you could do with buddies, because chances are you'll be getting a hardon when you watch porn which isn't something I'd want to have when around my male friends.
