By Petra Bueskens, published 5/3/2012

Women keep looking in the 'wallpaper' and it is turning them off!

Well, I'm happy to give up porn when women give up romance novels, soap operas, chick flicks and celebrity-obsessed magazines, all of which seem to me to play just as large a role in raising unrealistic expectations about real life.

But I don't see that happening any time soon.

Perhaps Petra & Bella should get off their keyboards, & get on their bikes. Not to ride out of town, but the exercise type. A fitter body might not only allow them to enjoy sex more, but also attract the type of bloke who would help them enjoy it more. Very often this stuff comes from women who don't really like sex.

I think porn is encouraged by a lack of nudity, & sex in our lives today, not an excess. Many blokes have not seen a naked woman, or even a boob in daylight, since their honeymoon, & some not even then. Love making, if any, is conducted at night, in the dark. No wonder some of them want to have a look at what they might be missing.

Nudity in earlier times was part of life, & sex was not so much hidden behind closed doors. There is nothing like the sight or sounds of sex to turn many on.

This was highlighted to me one Christmas, long ago. I had taken my girl friend, & a mate & his wife to Broken bay on my yacht for a week at Christmas. An attractive mid 30 lady, his wife was a rather inhibited lady, whom I had never seen even in a swim suit. She stayed dressed even on the beach. My lady was no exhibitionist either, so no hanky panky was occurring in that close environment.

We met some old friends, & some new ones on other yachts, & formed a small fleet of 5 boats, with 7 couples. Someone suggested a bar b que at a small isolated beach, & we all followed. After a drink or 2 ashore, while gathering wood we discovered a small waterfall just behind the trees. After 3 days of swims & fresh water sponges, a shower was very desirable. There was not much waterfall, & only 2 could get wet at once, but people were moving in & out as they soaped up.

Continued

A couple of the more adventurous ladies, who were already topless, were soon bottomless, as were some men. It was quite titillating I suppose, but I was amazed to see Jenny, my mate, Fred's wife, strip off & slip under the waterfall. An hour or so, & perhaps a few drinks, later they were making love on a blanket on the beach, as were a few others.

This was no orgy, no swapping of partners, but there was a fair bit of love making, in different parts of the beach & bush.

Months later Fred told me that at Jenny's suggestion, they had joined a nudist club, where they spent a lot of time, she often did housework in just high heels, & their life had changed dramatically. He could not thank me enough for setting the scene for this for them that Christmas. They had gone from never being naked together, in daylight, to being that way regularly, & enjoying it immensely.

This was not porn of course, but I think if there was more public nudity such as this, the market for porn would shrink quite markedly.

Secular theology has managed to putrify relationships, turn millions into perverts and increase child molestation to epidemic proportions. All so the few could feed their insatiable appetites for perversion. No wonder so many girls and boys are overdosing with pills and wondering what a sick world that the humanist have promoted shamelessly.

runner. Shame most of the child abuse comes from priests.
Rubbish article, good posts.
So men viewing porn has *direct* effects on women (via some sort of telepathic mechanism?)...whilst the fashion industry, constant advertising and TV "dramas" being beamed into their brains via TV has no impact?
I'd be more worried about violence porn (war/horror movies), emotional porn (Most soaps), and ignorant hate porn (Andrew Bolt) than the naked sexy variety.

Sounds to me like the author is trying to blame something, anything,
to justify some women's lack of libido.

I have a very different theory. Libido is very much influenced by
the endocrine system and in all of us, its a little different
and it varies at different stages of life.
I've met women with a very healthy libido and they claim thats
the way that they have always been. Others simply don't have that
same kind of drive, that is just how they are.

Now these women will want to blame something, somebody for how they
are, in this case its porn. Yet we know that if we stick a testosterone patch on their arm, away they go, libido jumps.

So perhaps any women who want to blame porn for their libido problem,
should simply try the testosterone patch and then see if its still fair
to blame porn or if its simply an endocrine system issue
