I understand that you have an opinion, and a strong one. What I am trying to do is not attack you, but get discussion rolling.
Why IS porn so different from other "biological urges," in how it is treated in the US and on the internet?
And why is "biology" so commonly used in the defense of its use? Why don't men explain their desires in a way that actually allows them to be seen as thinking humans? Are you all really so mindless that you see porn as strictly biological? The desire for sex or masturbation isn't exactly like the biological urge to go take a dump or drink some water, so I'd like to understand these issues and viewpoints.

Fantasizing about people other than your partner is GOING to happen, especially (but not exclusively) for men. If it hasn't yet, wait. Outlawing it in a relationship is an act of denial.

I didn't speak to fantasizing alone, but rather fantasizing using porn. There is a difference, at least to me.

You had to know that you were going to get nothing but disagreement, and I don't think I'd personally have the gusto to present an opinion that I knew would only be received negatively.

Thanks. I also appreciate your honesty and explanation in your response.
