Why do guys look at ****?

I'm curious as to why guys look at porn even if there's a real, live woman living with them. Is it just a visual thing? Is it because they're bored with having just one person? Or, dropping pretense, am I doing something wrong or just not sexy enough for him? As a female, I have no clue what's going on here!

Guys like to look, and guys are generally visually stimulated creatures. A guy that's not looking at the menu is, well, dead. That doesn't mean he's gonna cheat, he's just enjoying the scenery.

However guys are stimulated by differnet things. Some like nudity, some like swimsuits, some are all about boobs, some lingerie... and so on. It just depends on what gets their crank going.

Most guys would love a sexy photo shoot of their girl. A guy into **** would probably enjoy role playing those crazy scenarios.

Talk to him, see what gets him going. Its not that he wants to replace you, its just that he's just being a male.

The male brain is wired to think in terms of procreation... spread you seed wherever you can. Society promotes monogamy which is in conflict with the male hard wiring. If all he's doing is looking he's a good guy, but he's fulfilling a primal need to look.

I don't look at ****. I used to, but I got really turned off when I started realizing that some of those girls were too doped up to know what they were doing, some of them were only doing it to feed their kids, some them were doing it for a place to stay, some of them were doing it to get there hands on some more nose candy. I get really turned off when I think about that. It makes me feel like a creep to perpetuate it. Instead, I fantasize and ********** or (when I'm with someone) I hold it in and let the tension build up until I can't help but let loose.

Not all guys do....I know of several who don't....for many, it's about self-control...they don't have any...For some, it's a way to escape the real world....they live in this fantasy world....I think it does get in the way of relationships, though....no matter if it's a guy or a gal looking at it....isn't there something you could be doing to better your relationship, instead of looking at all the women who have been air-brushed and perfected? It's no wonder the poster of this topic wonders if it may be her....

It's not her fault, but that is the natural affect that his viewing **** would have on his partner....and it has been proven in studies that it can lead to desensitation in the way men view women....and that it can lead to violence.....Sorry to bear that awful news....just the messenger.

Speaking as a woman I have to say that some women don't mind looking at this sometimes, and that it isn't a reflection on the relationship - curiosity, boredom, new ideas?
I gave my fiance some photos of myself - nothing that I would *die* of embarrassment from if they fell into the wrong hands [eyes] accidentally, but ones that he finds arousing. I'd rather he have me to look at, and I'm sure he prefers this too, but if he did look at ****, I think I'd prefer to do it mutually together, so we can both benefit from it, rather than letting it be a solitary pursuit.
Personally, I think **** is boring, all the fake noises, stupid doe looks at the camera, ho hum....it's just emotionless sex and can't compare to making love.

You shouldn't be offended or take it personally. It's natural and unavoidable for any male with a healthy sex drive to lust for ****. You should only be concerned or mad if it is affecting your actual love life with him. Is he neglecting you and choosing the **** over you? That is a problem. If he is just looking at the **** in addition to being with you as often as you want, then it's healthy and not a problem.

Committing to a single woman goes against hundreds of millions of years of evolution. **** can actually be a very healthy outlet for a committed guy so he is less tempted by infidelity. Embrace it and set limits on it, let him know that it can't get in the way of your time with him, and both of you will be happy.

I used to get pretty upset about my husband looking at that stuff too but then I realized 2 things: 1) He wasn't replacing me with ****, it was just a stimulant, just for fun. 2) A lot of my feelings came from within, I didn't feel good about myself so I felt threatened by things like that.
So I changed my attitude about it, I even joined in the fun and looked at some of the stuff with him but always making sure that I was the center of attention (of course) I know he still looks at **** from time to time, I do too and it's ok.
There is a bad side about it though, one of my married friends went through some rough patches with her man because he started getting a little too acostumed to **** sites, videos, etc. to the point that he wasn't interested in her, he would tell her he didn't want to have relations with her and then sneak out and watch **** by himself. I guess it became like an addiction.
So everything in moderation is good, even chocolate.

Men are very visual...it's just the way they are...

Watching **** for them doesn't "mean" anything...it's visual stimulation while other stimulation is going on ;-)

It has nothing to do with how sexy you are or the way he feels about you...it's a completely separate animal...

Try to be open minded and accepting of it...if you don't he'll sneak and watch it anyway :-)

I dont watch **** very often, but I used to when I was single and had no girlfriend and no chances of having any sex. Most ****, to me, is boring as well as stupid. I prefer amatuer **** when I do watch it because it is less rehearsed and alot more realistic. The enjoyment of **** is increasing among women, and I suspect there are even more who enjoy it than we are aware of because very few would actually admit it. Quick example: There was this girl who came into the convenience store where I once worked to rent movies. We didnt have ****, but a store just down the street did. I was involved in a conversation about nudity and **** with a fellow when she came in one night. She stopped to listen to our conversation as if she wanted in on it. She gave us "down the road" about our views on it, she started calling us sick and perverted, started "preaching" at us quoting the bible and all that. Here's the kicker...a few nights later that same fellow and I were continuing our conversation when she came in to return a couple movies she had gotten from us. Guess what? I noticed that the box didnt match any number we had and that it was marked with an "X". It was from the store down the street which did rent ****. She had accidently put our movie in their box. When I pointed out that it wasnt our box, she turned several shades of red because she knew she had been "busted" and that we knew she was a hypocrit.

For the same reasons women like to watch chick flicks, movies that make them cry, babies, and romance novels.

Why do guys look at ****? Well, it a sentive place. It soft, and firm to hold. It feels great on the hands after hard work, and i have to admit... I LOVE LOOKING AT THE CLEAVAGES. I mean when they bend over in front of me. In a split second i think of 3 different postion with that postion. Why do i do it? Because my brain control what i think and etc...

I grew up in a "preverted" family and their would be **** all over the place. I grew up to that enviroment and it just attach to me everytime i see party nudity or something that guys don't see everyday.

Ya, sure woman use bra's to give them firm support and underwear and pants to cover and keep warm in that areas but when a woman show partly of that area, my "lust" take over and my brain give support to that lust to reproduce and **** is just foreplay to that reproudcing that give enjoyment and pleasurment to that "area". So ya... guys like to look at the mosiquto bites because to us, it a foreplaying thing.

I won't lie to you, there could be several reasons, usually just curiosity, something different to look at, no matter how hot the wife is or how kinky she is, most guys want to see what they cannot have. I would not take it personally if I was you.

In addition to endorising the first three answers, I would say that I find looking at **** to be exciting, fun, pleasurable, and relaxing! And, at least for now, it is legal for those of us who are 18 years and older (I am much older!).

To each his own! If you don't like something, don't look at it!

*********** is just another outlet of sensuality, he won't go out and "sleep with" the women in the material. Enjoy what it does to him and maybe make your own.
