I have two opinions so far from men I know:
Male 1: Porn is normal, I watch it whenever the mood strikes.
Male 2: I have a wife. Why do I need porn when I can do everything with her.
These opinions were from men who have a partner with a normal to high libido and aren't prudish; so Male 1 chooses to solo rather than have sex with the partner while male 2 feels porn is unnecessary now because he can simply have sex with his wife. Both opinions are fine, because they're just preferences, but what do you guys think. How necessary is porn to you?
Guys, how necessary is porn to you?

What Guys Said
(30)I like to use porn to explore different tastes, I have a fetish for pregnant black women
I have left hand so I never need nothing :)
I might be addicted
Let's put it this way, for masturbation a visual is needed or helps a lot for guys. Usually that means porn. For male 2, his wife isn't going to be around 24/7 likely when the mood strikes. Yes he can hold off and wait, but many guys will just masturbate then and there (if they can).
Personally other things can substitute, but porn is the go to usually. But before internet, pictures were what I used, Playboy etc.
Porn is natural male visual fantasy and is no different than female mental fantasy.
Asking men why they still look at or need porn while with a female is like asking women why they still have mental fantasy, read smut, or watch romance chick flicks while in a relationship.
Any man who says he doesn’t watch porn is a liar. Just like a female claiming she no longer has mental fantasies.
Chill. Male 2 is not known to lie. His taste in porn was pretty vanilla before meeting his wife, so he doesn't need it as much as others who have a wide variety of sexual interest.
Honestly doesn’t require chill. Male fantasy doesn’t stop just because you get with someone the same way female fantasy doesn’t stop when they are with someone.
Men can have sex and go watch porn. Porn is entertainment, it has ZERO connection to sex with our partners. Just like women can have a guy give them romance and still watch a chick flick.
The honesty is fine, and your opinion is solid. Implying my friend is a liar is not fine, you don't know him well enough to even make that assumption.
I don’t need to know “him”... All I need to be male, which you are not. I know dozens of men like your friend who will claim (to females) that they don’t look because they are terrified to admit to basic male fantasy because they have had to many females shame them for it throughout their lives.
I never asked the question. It originally started with, "Aye, John (not his real name) what type of porn do you watch," asked by another guy in our large group. John was legit baffled, and snapped back with the reply as seen above as Male 2. He was the only one to give this reply as all the other guys in the group were like, "Dude what... Wait, what did you watch before your wife?" Then the discord just became a group of my male friends and fiancé just talking about porn and I zoned out. No other women there at the time besides me. Anyway, spin it however way you want, I'm done. I don't know who hurt you, but they left you real emotional.
No one hurt me, you just don’t like answers that go against your thought patterns so you throw shaming tactics at them.
If I'm in a relationship it's not necessary. When I'm not in a relationship it's not exactly necessary but I find myself getting bored and horny and it's nice to see something sexual.
I’m #1. My wife has no problem with that. Sometimes it’s the start of marital sex.
Single and don't need or want it.
