Porn=Love, Right?

Times have changed.  This is 2009, and sexual habits are evolving steadily.  It used to be (as recently as the 90’s) that porn was just a guilty pleasure for men.  Jerking off to a good school girl flick was a normal thing to do for a man on a lonely weekend, late evening, or for a pimply teenager just trying to pass some time.  But things have changed, and according to Oprah (she’s basically the lord of all women), and CNN (the most official source of all people with televisions), porn is becoming an increasingly non-taboo funtime hobby of women of all ages.

And in all varieties.  Women are coming home to get “ready” for some hot and heavy time with their lovers, rabbits, and double-ended dildos.  They’re putting on giant black cock, hot Asian fetish action, regular man on woman, little people with big rods, girl on girl, and other fun genres.  The reporting on this topic, in my opinion, has actually gotten way out of hand.  Oprah and CNN are reporting that basically every woman out there is sitting at home searching for late night programming and masturbating.  Although I’m sure that a healthy percentage of our population is actually doing just that, I can’t help but assume (based on all the pissy people out there), that not nearly enough people are actually doing this.

If everyone just went home from work, turned on something raunchy, and rubbed one out, I think we’d be a happier society.  There’d be so much less tension, better mental clarity (perhaps clarity would have helped us make better financial decisions thus avoiding the recent economic disasters), and possibly even less war.

CNN.com reports, “In a 2006 study at McGill University, researchers monitored genital temperature changes to measure sexual arousal and found that, when shown porn clips, men and women alike began displaying arousal within 30 seconds; men reached maximum arousal in about 11 minutes, women in about 12 (a statistically negligible difference, according to the study).

Even more compelling were the results of a 2004 study at Northwestern University that also assessed the effect of porn on genital arousal. Mind you, a copy of ‘Buffy the Vampire Layer’ and a lubed-up feedback device isn’t most girls’ idea of a hot night in. But when the researchers showed gay, lesbian, and straight porn to heterosexual and homosexual women and men, they found that while the men responded more intensely to porn that mirrored their particular gender orientation, the women tended to like it all. Or at least their bodies did.”

So what I’m really wondering is… how true is all of this?  Do you watch porn?  Alone?  With a partner (or several)?
