Internet Porn: Man’s Best Friend or Worst Enemy?
April 24, 2008 by draisner
It’s been almost 2 years now that completely free adult online video sites started popping up all over the internet. Guys today have it easy and free video sites like RedTube, YouPorn and Megarotic are always on tap 24 hours a day. But is watching too much a bad thing?
For most of you out there, I imagine you’re like me and grew up in a pre-internet pornified era. We had it rough. It used to be you had to go to that special hiding place during lunch recess to take a peep at a Playboy (at our school, kids hid them in the bushes—brilliant!) only to find that someone had already pilfered the stash (bastards…I know it was you Tommy). Or some of you may remember going cover to cover on an old National Geographic magazine looking for a naked boob of some woman in Africa (don’t lie, you know you did). Or maybe you remember stumbling across something lewd on cable. Squiggly lines or not, for that brief 1.22 seconds you saw a breastesess and you would sit for another hour hoping for that magic moment to come again.
We are certainly in a different place these days. Just look at the graphs to see just how popular some of the top 3 sites perform.

For some, these sites are a best friend. They are there for you during the dry spells between relationships or heck during relationships when she’s got her crimson tide. But for most I suspect, it’s main utility is that it provides variety. I mean where else can you bang a hot secretary, a lass with a British accent, and twins all in the span of 10 minutes.
Sites like these can also sometimes be your worst enemy. Many experts say it can be harmful to your regular relationships with real women. And if you are constantly exposed to a certain form of stimuli, you get used to it. It makes you callous to the types of normal intimacy that only a real live woman can provide.
So what do you think? Man’s best friend or worst enemy? Join the discussion.

Honestly I think I’ve become more warped. I’ve watched so much online smut now that it’s almost too hard to get off. I found myself developing new fetishes that I never knew existed. I kneww I was in trouble when I started liking the water sports stuff which is totally fine. it’s good every now and then to take a break and let your senses breathe some. This stuff won’t make you look at women in a bad way that’s a load of horsecrap, but go on a porn diet once in while.
I didn’t know they got that much traffic. I don’t remember who did it first, but when they started showing little 5 second previews of every clip when you scrolled over them. That really raised the bar.
Definitely best friend. But if you visit daily then you might be weird. Like all things just go with moderation my friends.
Like most things, moderation is the key.
neither. more like an talented aquaintance with multiple personalities.
on a side note:
someone needs to produce a mega-million dollar XXX movie, complete with all-star cast, clever dialog, captivating storyline, starwars quality special effects, oscar worthy performances, genius directing, perfect editing, more guns and bullets and explosives than anything you’ve ever seen, a platinum soundtrack and of course sex, sex, sex! you get point…
if you have a girl ..don’t watch
if you are alone …enjoy your time
it’s like the gift and the curse (no jayz).. good article
