Because the porn they watch is usually fantasy porn with extremely good looking women and great bodies. In porn the man dominates the woman and forces them into many positions and situations that the average woman is not willing to do.

Why is it so hard to believe a man can detest porn? He's a good man that only cares for my daughter and should have no reason for it, I don't care what anyone says, to me porn is one of the worst things ever and it's ridiculous how women should just accept that men watch it it's SO extremely degrading towards women and I can't believe there are women that not only accept it but will watch it themselves!

All I got to say is, if you are a woman that's okay with your man watching porn you don't have any right to complain about stuff other guys do. And my daughter has spent weeks staying at his place and has NEVER seen him watch it and she's gotten up all hours of the night, heck she even has a key to his place so she can come and go whenever and sometimes she'll go late at night after work and surprise him late at night and he's always just browsing gaming/car forums lol. They've been dating for over a year and between all the time she's stayed at his place and surprised night visits I'm certain if he looked at porn she'd have at least seen it once.

Maybe hate was not the right word but he has told her many a time that he views it as "filth" and has no need/desire to view it. But again, as I said he has a program on his comp that blocks porn sites (my daughter was using his PC to browse the web and accidentally clicked on a link to a porn site and it was blocked so she knows). He is completely open about everything. I find it incredibly sad that you (and others) have such a low opinion of men that they can't, 100% just not like porn or watch it. Now, he has said he has seen it in the past but it never did anything for him at all and he can't even be turned on by it. Guess you and others will say he's lying to?

Like I said, between all the time she stays over at his place and surprise visits and all the time she uses his comp (she has a crappy PC so uses his a lot) I am certain if he did she would know. It's one of the reasons I have told my daughter he is a keeper. Maybe he is quite literally 1 in a million, so what? It's still possible!
He doesn't want to see scantily-clad women? Does he go to the beach, or does he avoid it because he might catch a glimpse of side-boob?
I'm a woman and I beg to differ. Porn is NOT the worst thing in the world. I have no problem with my SO watching it and watching it together is even more fun.
What kind of red-blooded male puts a block on his own computer so he won't see porn? Not only is it normal and natural, but men are hard-wired to want to look at scantily clad or naked women.
You may think your daughter's beau is a one-in-a-million gentleman, but it sounds to me like he's crippled by religious guilt, which is never a good thing.

Religious guilt and/or he might be a closet case.

Agreed...there is lack of knowledge of the damage porn can do to one's relationships & emotional/sexual health, and conflating cultural norms & learned behavioral/mental habits with natural biology & psychology.

I know that's not what you mean, but it goes both ways.

My fast food analogy holds. We're seeing the effects of fast food culture on people's physical & even emotional health now... It is designed to be addictive & exploit the senses, and it's been very effective.
We're also seeing the effects of porn having gone mainstream on young men & women. It's designed to be addictive & exploit human sexuality. It's very effective.

Young men in particular, those "raised" on porn from pre-teens, seem especially affected by this. It's causing physical, emotional, sexual & social dysfunction for them.

I think the general idea is that sex is like preparing a meal. The results will be good if not great, but you actually have to work on it.

Porn is like Papa Johns or McDonalds, good enough and convenient.

Because even if you have a willing SO, you sill need to put a bit a physicial exertion and effort into said sexual acts. Compared to about 90 seconds to 2 minutes of furious wanking.

Correct. People like you are what I mean.

Yep, sounds like a classic case of "doth protest too much." Anyone who goes to that extreme to stay away from something is someone who has struggled with it. A casual non-drinker doesn't go out of their way to avoid bars, but a recovering alcoholic does.

haha, she's on a roll!

Porn does adversely affect many relationships. Men end up divorcing due to an admitted addiction to porn that takes over their lives.
I wonder if men in a relationship would be as willing to watch porn that was designed for women. There's very little of that available online. Which is probably for the best, considering how addictive porn is.

I presumed the OP to be referring to normal porn use. Nothing in the post specifies or even hints at addiction, which is a different issue entirely.

I recently had a conversation with a man who is in IT, working with the police department in New York City. He told me that 75% of what's on the Internet is porn. Everything else is the other 25%.
