I had a bit of a personal crisis when I saw this link from The Huffington Post titled, “Research Suggests that All Men Watch Pornography.”
My first thought was that they could not have possibly talked to all
men. I know this, because I do not watch pornography. This made me
suspicious that the link was tied to a pornographic Web site designed to
trick me, the last man standing, into accidentally seeing pornography
in order to validate their research. (Or, more disturbingly, it could be
that I am not actually a man because I do not watch pornography.)
Do
not mistake my assertion for some kind of moral high ground. I have
seen pornographic images before, and my mind is fairly full of sexual
imagery that I have stored from various fantasies; I don’t really need
pornography to qualify as a pervert. I do not think that this makes me
abnormal, as the sexual drive is a gift from God. It’s just that I
believe pursuing pornographic fantasy is like driving a car at high
speed down the wrong lane.
I discovered that the title of the article was a bit misleading, as it suggests that all men currently watch porn. In fact, the research documented that they could not find any man who hadn’t seen it before.
And that I can believe. It is possible that there is not a man in the
United States over the age of 20 who has never seen pornography. Continue at Brad Williams
