So beststephi<\/a> and I were talking about pornography and what it means to different people, the differences between what men and women think about it and so on and so forth. So I thought I’d post a little call for discussion here and see what people think. You don’t have to answer all the questions, but I want to know what’s on people’s minds.<\/p>\n

Do you like going to strip clubs?<\/p>\n

Do you watch porn? What kind? Hardcore? Softcore? Erotica? Skinimax? Amateur? Just nudie pics? <\/p>\n

What do you look for in porn? Interesting stories? Good sex? Attractive people? Good lighting?<\/p>\n

Does porn turn you on? To what level? Does it actually make you horny? Do you watch it to masturbate? Do you watch it while you actually have sex with other people?<\/p>\n

Do you try to learn new things from porn?<\/p>\n

What do you prefer watching? boy on girl? girl on girl? boy on boy? groups? Bondage? fetishes? Do some of these turn you on more than others?<\/p>\n

Where does animated porn fit in? Do you like it at all? Is it the same or different?<\/p>\n

Anything else you’d want to say, I’d be interested in hearing. Tell your friends that I don’t know to come and answer as well, I’m pretty curious.<\/p>\n
