> No, EVERYONE looks at porn, no need to feel guilty.
> Everyone watches porn, or at the very least masturbates. Its natural; no need to feel bad about it unless it’s raised your expectations so high you can’t carry on a normal relationship.
> Of course it’s natural ... what are you looking at?
> If you feel it’s wrong, then yes. If you don’t, then what are you worried about?
> I don’t think you should feel guilty about looking at it if it is something that you like to do.
> I think the reason people delete their history is to avoid potentially awkward conversations with others who use the computer.
> Repent sinner, for you are EVIL! ...That, or masturbate. Either works.
> No, nothing a human does is unnatural, they may be shunned but its human nature to seek pleasure, whatever it may be.
– The Escapist, Should I feel guilty about looking at Porn? May 27, 2010 [26]
“All men look at porn. … The handful of men who claim they don’t look at porn are liars or castrates.” That’s what Dan Savage, a Seattle-based sex columnist, wrote a few years ago in response to a reader who was fretting about her boyfriend’s affinity for erotica. By this point, his argument seems like a trope: All red-blooded men have watched porn. It’s just part of life. Get used to it.
