Hey Matt! This is a conversation about porn. You aren't supposed to recognise me as I stand here hiding in the corner in my dirty trench coat with the collar pulled up and the hat brim pulled low. *bg*

Gary T made the point that getting enjoyment from looking at naked women is rather natural for men. I've always assumed that to be true, since in my experience it is so universal. Most people I know assume that sexual response to visual cues is hardwired into men's brains. "I like you in that nightie and I've got the genetic code to prove it!" Does anyone know if it really is a hardwiring thing? Do men in other cultures around the world get the same kick out of looking that we descendants of the Victorians do?

If it is hardwired into out brains, why do so many women get upset about the fact that their men like to look? What's the point of being upset about something that is a normal part of being?

A lot of assumptions are made as to why were are attracted to certain things and the role that these play. Females are usually credited for having a more complicated approach to what is erotic, where men's attractions are thought to be more basic and understandable.

I tend to think, from what I have read in this thread, that it is far more complicated.

Well, as someone said, when he saw the men in the theater watching the sex on screen and discreetly masturbating into their hats " What the hell do they do with those hats when the film is over?" Whatever they do, it's as wrong as wrong can be!

Evolution spent millions of years making SURE that male animals would have strong reactions to female animals...and for many millions of years, the male with the strongest, pushiest response was allowed to breed.

We are barely a few thousand (or hundred, depending on who you talk to) years into expecting males to stop, think and respect in many aspects of the process...the genes that say "react" are still around, but society says "slow down and listen and don't be so greedy"

'taint easy...but we'd better try

I recently saw a show on the learning channel in which researchers claimed that women are just as stimulted by visual erotica as men.

I believe that it is true i think that they probably "filter" it differently than men

let's face it ...watching people getting it on is just plain fun....whether you are male or female.

"let's face it ...watching people getting it on is just plain fun....whether you are male or female".

I do know what you are meaning to say but, is it also "fun" to see people "getting it on" with animals and children?

Dan this is what I mean about it being a mater of taste. I think that the whole thing is very complicated and most assumptions we make about others tastes will be wrong. Actually doing it is fun, but I can honestly say that I do not find watching other people "getting it on" to be "fun".

It may be fun, to the extent that I find the sex act in general to be more comical than the life or death, Olympic style event it is usually portrayed in porn, maybe it's just the way I do it? Depictions of these scenes, I may find interesting, if I come across them, but do not hold my attention for very long and I would not seek them out.

I do enjoy looking at the variations of the female body.

I could assume from the fact that I feel this way, that others may also, but I may be the only person in the world that does feel like this. A policeman friend of ours had a saying that "assumptions are the mother of all F***-ups".

Shambles, I originally misread that as "chicken", which would be strange to say the least, not to mention the risk of getting pecked in unpleasant places...

Grab.

Reminds me of the definition--doing it with a feather is kinky, doing it with the whole chicken is perverted. (G)
