Hey,
thought it would be interesting to casually ask this question, and see how people respond. Of course, if youre not comfortable with the subject, dont feel obligatated to respond.
Looking forward to what people have to say.

"All of the above" and "Other reasons". Biggest reasons for me seems to be enjoyment when looking at something beautiful and day dreaming (not the same as fulfilling sexual desires but desires to escape reality and imagine being in some scenario).

I agree.

I don't expect my girlfriend to always be soothing my libido. She has to work and stuff.

All ove the above, and I like to keep my wrists strong!

As an artist I use the variety of images of the female form to improve the shading, tone, and composition of the works I create. I also study bone structure, proportions and perspectives of the different poses to more accurately reproduce the delicacy and grace of...aw, fuck it. It's just boner fuel.

My personal interest in sex doesn't have anything to do with pornography, since I've never gotten an erectrion from looking at it. In other words, it doesn't "turn me on".

My interest in sex as a public topic is primarily esthetic (aesthetic if you prefer that spelling) and sociological.

Im interested in self-expression and I see pornography as performance as regards the people who create it.

I'm interested in it socioligically vis-a-vis the people who look at it and say they are aroused by it. That arousal is an effect of esthetic response, so I'm also esthetically interested in the voyeuristic aspects of pornography.

I think it's because I've got OCD, and it extends to, but doesn't stop at, massive porn viewing. And I like it.

what she said. the beauty is what gets me.

rmarshall

I agree. There's something so very pleasing about a beautiful woman. I'd rather see a beautiful woman than most other things, except maybe a gorgeous sunset. How about a beautiful woman and a gorgeous sunset at the same time?

Meridae'n

Most of the above post detail why for me... just feels natural and good.

Plus i need something for my hands to do... i don't smoke!

used to be so I could fuck my ugly girlfriend. now it's so I don't have to.

It's interesting, in the respect that you see a person, or people who are comfortable enough with themselves to relax and let themselves go with it, even though most are "actors", there still must be some sort of liberation from it for them.

I like it to see see just how much different stuff people can come up with too. Both for the "what the hell was that!!!" and for the "wow...that's hot" aspect. The porn itself isn't what turns people on in my mind, it's the thinking about what you're seeing that makes it what it is. Sex is 99% mental anyways. the other 1% is the physical

My husband and I watch porn to get ideas for new positions different things we could try. I'm sure he has other reasons for watching it but those are my reasons.

Why do I view porn?

right now?

So I don't go out and try to b a n g the first willing person I see. Thats why.

Although I agree with Art in that porn has nothing to do with sex whatsoever, I have a hard time thinking of all those furiously copulating couples and birthday suit exhibitionists as "performance artists." They do it for the MONEY.

correct me if I'm wrong but for performance artists money would be secondary. an afterthought.

Business is not a game to be won. It should not be winnable. It is a process by which competition produces and distributes goods. If someone "wins" it's an indication that the process is broken. Businesses should not put their competitors out of business so that their products do better in the marketplace, they should make their products better so that they do better in the marketplace. Competitors going out of business is a side-effect, not a goal.

Agree some of the less explict stuff is very insperational.

Yes, I'm dead serious. 7/10 of the times I've watch porn/jack off in the last couple of months have been because of just simply boredom. *shrugs*

Sometimes i just want to be by myself and pron is there all the time. My gal is great but she is human, not every time is good for her. So when she is not i'm the mood, porn is there.
