She sent me the pictures, she looked lovely, flowers in her hair - long white swishy dress. So romantic. Then one of the pictures showed the REALITY - a 44 year old woman, still chasing a DREAM. Sad. Her previous husbands obviously didn't match up in some way.
I have not read a single romantic book for years and years and I think that romantic films are tosh!!!
Same goes for men who look at porn. It can often make them dissatisfied, it makes them look over the fence at the green (supposedly) grass. They look at their ageing wife and think "Cor, maybe I should trade her in..." forgetting she is ageing more rapidly because she has borne his children, cleaned his house and worked full time too!! She hasn't brought clothes for herselves - but her children. She has been unselfish. But her inner beauty means little to the porn addict - who only looks for the quick fix. I mean, how can he then gett into bed with his ordinary wife and get the high he gets from his pretty, young things. I think Porn is dangerous and vile.
Is alcohol vile? subjective, but I think most would agree so long as you have control over it rather than the other way around it's harmless. That doesn't mean it isn't easy for a lot of people to "need" the feeling it provides above their normal existence.
Luckily, I have no taste for it at all, the buzz is nice once in a blue moon, but alcohol is perhaps what I consider the single most disgusting thing outside of viewing a Richard Simmons video with him naked.

Is it dangerous? Of course, anything that "gets you off", gives titillation, or otherwise provides an unrealistic view of your desires is by nature, doesn't mean you can't keep yourself grounded, or entertain a fantasy.

Yeah, so??? You don't think I'm going to change it because you, finally, read it do you? It's been there for a while and it will be there until I decide to change it. You reading it won't make that happen.

Porn is to men what Taco bell is to Mexican food.

Not every guy is a porn addict.

Heck, I can't remember the last time I looked at porn.

I guess the question would then be: are men addicted to Taco Bell?

Is Taco Bell really Mexican food? I always think of ethnic restaurants as being Americanized versions of ethinic foods.

No, Taco Bell doesn't even count as a bad facsimile of Mexican food.
