Sounds good to me...brb

I mean, I understand the whole idea of it, but I have friends who boast collections valued at over 1000 dollars. Doesn't it just get boring after a while? It's not like it has the most engaging plot ever....


hmm because pr0n makes masterbation easier?

Masterbation is for people who can't get a date.

No its not, sometimes you both don't want to do it at the same time, sometimes you can't be together, and sometimes you'll engage in masturbation with your s/o. Thats not to say you can't take it to extrememes like anything. Its like a former alcoholic calling anyone who drinks a looser just because they didn't have any control over themselves.

Wait. There is a plot?
Plots actually detract from the medium, IMO :D

well the thing is... a dvd can easily hold a few hours of video by itself. A hundred dvds or so means enough to take you out of commission for a week. I don't see how it's even possible to sit through one whole dvd without changing to a movie where stuff goes boom or something other than pronography. How is it possible?

Nope, that is completely wrong, the body does not "get rid of old sperm through wet dreams" the body reabsorbs it...

The first mechanism is to realease it. The second is much more costly in terms of energy because the body doesn't like destroying its own cells unless it abs. has to. Its sort of analagous to fat cells. When you lose weight your fat cells shrink instead of being destroyed b/c the body doesn't want to destroy something it took energy to create.

For the guy with the vasectomy, the reason your testicles don't explode is that your body notices that there is a blockage and is forced to destroy and reabsorb the sperm. This takes energy to accomplish, which when added to the energy used in creating the sperm in the first place, comes out to be unfavorable.

Personally, I think its funny when people say they watch tons of porn. I've seen more and watched porn. Never paid a dime! Masturbation is your choice. I am ashmed that I tried it, well. Not really, but I think its stupid to masturbate. I mean, its not that .... Orgasmic?

My opinion, instead of more fact about it, is that masturbating is ok. Sometimes you're just tuggin at yourself, but there are times when you can have a much better orgasm than someone else could give you. I don't know how many of my friends have told me about how having sex with so and so was so bad that they would have rather been masturbating. And, I don't think its just me, I hear a lot of girls complaining about how a guy doesn't know what the hell he is doing. So wouldn't masturbating be better for them, and possibly less painful depending on what the guy was doing? And I know guys always seem to talk about having a girl give them a blowjob, but most of them have complained about her using too much teeth or just ebing bad, so to me masturbating seems much better.

I'm not saying finding a girl or guy (I'm not gonna assume preference or gender) that you can learn from and teach about how to please each other isn't more sastisfying, but that takes time and commitment on both ends and it seems like a lot of people just don't care about that. So personally, I'll keep masturbating untill I find a girl that is ready to show me what she likes and willing to listen to what I like.

Does a healthy person get bored with eating for a long period of time?

What I want to know is why does porn always feature well-hung guys? Why don't they have any that feature really small guys? It's easier to find porn where a girl is having sex with a dog than it is to find porn where a girl is having sex with a small guy. What's up wit dat?!?!?

For the record, I DON'T masturbate. Make all the jokes you want, call me a liar, whatever. If it's simply that hard to believe that there are people out there who aren't addicted to orgasm, that's not my problem. And neither is masturbation.

I don't doubt you are telling the truth, however I would argue that you likely: 1. are insecure, 2. have a low sex drive, 3. have other emotional issues. Masturbation is normal, I'm not sure if it is an instinctual thing, but at the very least it is normal in our society. People who act as if there is something negative about masturbation need to grow up.

No, but at last check, most healthy people can't eat for 2 hours at a time either. I'm not saying why do people watch porn, rather...how can you watch SO MUCH of it in a single sitting?

No one watches all that in a single sitting. Porn collection is like a knife or a CD collection. You don't play all your CDs at once.

Something which prevents rape, extreme sexual frustration and helps teenagers and adults alike learn new and interesting sexual positions.

Wrong again, an orgasm is one of the most energy consuming things for the body to perform, far more energy consuming than breaking down cells and reabsorbing them (the body does this with cells at all times during the day)...

Some males never have wet dreams, or have only one or two their whole lives. The old theory was that sperm built up in the male and if it did not come out in masturbation or other sexual activity it would have to come out in some other way: namely wet dreams. According to that theory someone who was masturbating or having other regular sexual outlets would not have a buildup of semen and wet dreams would not occur. But the new evidence is that it is not so clear-cut as all that. Evidently the body can and does reabsorb unused sperm and the occurrence of wet dreams is not so closely related to the absence of other sexual outlets as was once thought. Some males stop having wet dreams about the time they start masturbating. Others only have wet dreams during times in their lives when they are very sexually active. Still others have frequent wet dreams no matter what they do, while yet others never or almost never have them.

Will you have more wet dreams if you stop masturbating or have fewer if you do masturbate? Maybe. Maybe not.

A thing that really shoots down the old sperm-build-up theory is that it is now recognized that some women have sexual dreams leading to orgasm. This doesn't tell us a lot about the function of sexual dreams, but it does indicate that getting rid of excess sperm is not the right answer.

He who pays for pr0n is an idiot.

Nuff said.


he who steals porn is sad:) if u think its bad thats one thing, but if u steal it, thats kinda hipocritical.


men are very mechanically minded, they like to see different varieties of parts and how they work together ;)

This may be too much information here, but I never have wet dreams unless I go for long periods without masturbation. So at least for me there is a connection.

ok...I don't get the knife reference.

and about the collections of porn...I don't think a whole lot changes from one vid to another...I mean, isn't it usually some variant on guy on girl/girl on girl/many girls/many guys and girls? That's about 8-10 vids tops I think.
