Why Guys Need to Stop Watching Porn and Start Living in Reality

Why Guys Need to Stop Watching Porn and Start Living in Reality

Seriously, guys. Just stop. You're bringing your warped perceptions into reality and for a lot of women, it's either scary or just plain bizarre.

I've dated my fair share of men over the years but recently, it seems like I'm only coming across guys who believe all sex should be exactly like it appears in porn. Not only do they expect me to do certain things I am NOT comfortable doing (a big fat thank you to all that twisted porn out there), but there's another nasty little consequence, and it doesn't involve women:

Men are putting immense pressure on themselves and it's turning them into fucking basket-cases in bed.

The guys in porn aren't normal. The penis size isn't normal, the stamina isn't normal, NOTHING about is normal. If your expectations are based on that and you're not particularly familiar with the whole sex thing, you're going to be in for a very rude awakening. Most guys are not Casanovas. I mean shit, most of them don't even know how to satisfy a woman for more than fifteen minutes at a stretch. And yet, they're putting even more pressure on themselves by watching a bunch of totally unrealistic porn, and then freaking out because they can't mimic it.

Yes, this is really less about making us women do crazy stuff in bed (or thinking we're going to act and react like the female pornstar), and more about what this porn is doing to men's heads. It's really screwing with them badly. You'd think they'd be able to separate reality from fantasy but strangely, it seems it's becoming a bigger and bigger issue, even among older men. I expect guys in their teens and early 20s to be a little messed up because of all the porn, combined with a significant lack of experience. But what is the deal with guys in their 30s and even 40s? Why are THEY suddenly having trouble differentiating between fact and fiction?

I'm not really sure what's going on, but all I can say is: STOP WATCHING SO MUCH PORN! Maybe you guys are seeing it as educational or some such crap, but it isn't. It's just filling your head with all kinds of impossible junk, and it's not going to translate well to the real bedroom. Real women simply want to be loved; they want the best you've got, sure, but they really just want YOU. The real you. Not the fake dude who thinks anything less than an hour of sex with 78 different positions and 4 orgasms is a failure.

Sometimes, there is no orgasm for us (and no, it's not always your fault, guys). Sometimes it's just not that great. This doesn't mean you should run out and slit your wrists, or get all depressed and wracked with anxiety whenever the clothes come off. It's the porn, damnit. It's turning you all into horribly self-conscious freaks who just can't seem to find the reality. And you know, it's not my responsibility to show you just how out-of-the-realm you're being. Maybe you should just stop watching so much porn and start doing more real women, or something. I dunno.

I just know this is getting ridiculous.

  • I don't think it's bad in moderation. It offers a good way to get a sexual release without risking stds or unwanted pregnancy. Also, most studies struggle to find a control group of men who dont watch porn and that makes it hard to determin the extent to which it is harmful. Even if it is harmful, its so easily accessible and accepted that most men aren't going to willingly stop watching it, especially if they struggle to get into relationships or attract women for casual sex.

    It probably is bad if watched in excess just like most things are bad if overindulged in. However, a lot of the guys who watch it to the point it is ruining their perception of sex are probably guys that most girls wouldn't have wanted to date anyways. So they don't really have anything to worry about. the argument is that if they watch lots of porn it will skew their perception of sex as well as their ability to bond with women, but if women didn't want them in the first place then why would they even care?

    Also, I stronglt doubt the average woman hates porn because of how it affects a guy's self confidence. Most of the women who want guys to stop watching porn are primarily concerned with how it affect women.

  • Great take and so true

  • same as you women should stop watching romantic fantasies or reading novels about love that doesn't exist or apply on reality !!
    women ask and expect too much and way more than they give, a "no" is not an option which they would like to hear but to use at the simplest occasion !
    if women would've lowed their standards and gave men a break they wouldn't have to run to porn to fill the intimate gap they have or try to gain experience to make sure to get a hold on their women !
    men are simple and easy to handle and satisfy while women are like black holes they never get filled sucks everything and never give back !

  • Great take. You are spot on.

  • Girls watch porn too, and its not that easy to just stop lol, how are you judge me for how i get off

  • You mean girls don't like being plowed in the ass while the guy stands one foot on the side of her head?

  • Very good points, I've never watched porns anyway, excellent Take.

  • You may get pissed all you want, but if you can't win a guy over pixels, there's something definitely wrong with you that you haven't realized yet.

  • We will stop watching porn when women have sex with us every time we're horny.

    • She didn't say stop watching porn. She said not to watch so much of it

    • @RachelBrigs she should stop telling men what to do.

    • Look at them downvoting women tho! This just proves the problem of women not wanting to have sex with guys.

  • When I actually have a girl around who I can have sexually satisfy every day (as in give me an orgasm, unlike my ex), and she also takes parts in my fantasies, then I'll stop. In the meantime there is no reason.

  • Wait... IT'S NOT REAL?

  • And watching porn cause I'm horny is wrong, why? People on this site need to get real. It's not a fucking educational tool. I'm doing it to get off. That's it. It's fucking simple 😑

    • 😱😱😱 I thought you took the boys scouts pledge to keep your hands to yourself!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 jk kk

    • @This_is_my_username I speak on behalf of all guys! Don't worry! I did! 🤓✌️🎖🏅

  • Good take. Worse place a young person can learn about sex it porn though more young women are starting to watch porn as well.

  • Fun fact, 43% of porn users are females.

  • "and start doing more real women" if it was that easy we would

  • Totally understand what you're saying but the thing is not every lad has that opportunity of getting with someone plus it helps us relax when we're stressed

  • The female Sexual Market Value decreases because guys have access to porn. So let's ban porn to retain the value of the holy vagina and continue to exploit it in order to gain advantage, money and control over guys.

    We get it.

    But if you are even listening to us, take the time to consider this: "If you do not like porn, do not watch it." It's really that simple.

    But in the name of equality we should also ban dildos, vibrators and Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey and we are about even.

    Inb4 "BUT PORN IZ HARMFUL!!1"
    No it's not. It's the people, who have issues with porn, that are at fault.

  • Not that I don't agree with you, I do. I'd just just like to point out that romantic fiction does the exact same thing to women and it drives us guys just as crazy.

  • Deep.
    But how about we consider 99.9% of men really just watch porn because they happen to like it (gasp) and like to wank their peepees off to it without really giving any kind of flying shit about what kind of crazy implications you think them doing so has on anything.

    I mean nah, that would be just too much of a crazy idea.
