Relationships and adult materials

Pornography often has unrealistic ideals and I was talking to a couple of ladies and guys I know regarding this and I thought I would get other peoples opinions.

Given the diverse amount of adult oriented materials, should or shouldn't someone who is in a long range relationship try to get only materials that reflect the somatype and appearance of their partners.

The idea is that by doing this you are reinforcing sexual attractions and the role of your partner in sexual attraction and fantasies.  Thic conversation was brought on by a lady saying that she only watched pornography in which the male resembled ideals of her current partner at the time.

What are other people's perspectives on this?

Remember YOU are the one who has used your past as a basis for authority.  Ia curious though which country you came through before you ended up in Florida and whether your world view is somewhat stained by your rather harsh past?

And how does your original post tie in to the actual starting topic?

serious Sam? you haven't got a clue. The fact that you bring my long ago past into this is a low blow, but I suspect you are that type of person. Explain Europe? The fact is I'm a European so I know for sure you are a mental midget and porn defender.

If your right, and personally I would lay greater odds on you currently being sober.

sure it may (or seem so), to you and your girl but most porn viewers are serious about it and it's an addiction. The jails are full of Porn and many sexual criminals got their start from porn. Then there is black market porn like snuff porn. What is really sad is that you are patronizing criminals with your porn purchase and watching people have fake sex.

LoL, come on guy really. this is just sad, I feel bad for you that you think this way. My girl friend and I watch porn all the time, and neither of us are CRIMINALS!!!!. And I defend Pornography because it has just as much reason to exist in this world as you do. All porn is, is fantasy can some people become addicted to it sure, but like I said before thoses same people could be just as easily addicted to eating or shopping or gambling, smoking, sex, and drugs. watching porn will not turn you into a drug addict.

I hate Porn and what the damage it had done to people I've known. I am an ex drug addict but never had a problem with porn. I just like to speak on it from time to time as it is far from harless. PORN MADE BY CRIMINALS FOR CRIMINALS!

Why are you even posting on this topic then?  And no offense but is the connection you know about from personal experience?  I just read some of your posts on drug addiction and yourself.

I am in agreement with Sam, also people have additive personality's which means they are just as likely to be addicted to eating as they are drugs or alcohol. but watching porn does not mean you will start getting wasted at the same time. And please don't start the whole made by criminals for criminals thing.

Porn is not hamless. These days we have videos on the internet that can be very addictive and unrealistic. Porn abusers often also have drug-alcohol problems also as newer research is showing a connetion between the 2.

Both my girlfriend and myself love porn the more outrageous the better but not just because of the sex. My girlfriend personally thinks it to be hilarious. She loves seeing women with this horrendous boob jobs, fake lips, more makeup than a geisha girl. and I get off on the fact that my girlfriend watches more porn then I do. as for people watching porn that resembles there lover, well that just seams silly to me. the point of porn is fantasy. by watching an adult video and masturbating no way implies you are not attracted to  your other half. we are sexual beings, porn is visual sex.

but im not saying you should watch a video in place of pleasing your spouse, My girlfriend and I watch porn, but we don't try to act out the porn its something we do together. I think if more couples where open minded Pornography would not be such a big deal, if it lost the taboo, i would be far less interesting. like it has become for me and my girlfriend.

Thats just what I think, im sure several people will think the very opposite, oh well.

Myself I try to stay away from porn unless it is porn that was home made. Not all couples would do this, but if you love someone at least myself I would rather watch or look at nude pictures or movies of my wife/girlfriend then anything else.

So if somoene is in a long distance relationship why not try to make a movie or take some pictures of each other and use that when you are apart.
