Superb Opinion

  • No anxiety when one masturbates (other than the risk of getting caught if that is an issue in the relationship). Often anxiety is a big part of what comes from partner sex: anxiety about how I smell, how my body will perform, will my body perform, does my partner like me, my body, how my body reacts etc. For many people, unfortunately, relationship sex is filled with so much anxiety that it is not enjoyable
    A person is tired and masturbation doesn't require the same level of effort, both mentally and physically to perform
    It is not painful. For both men and women, relationship sex can be physically painful and the inability to resolve the pain or effectively discuss it with their partner leads to the desiring relationship sex less or avoiding it
    A person is bored
    A person is bored with their relationship and wants to play out a fantasy in their head
    A person is stressed
    Because they like it
    They don't have to worry about getting rejected by their partner
    Their partner is sick, has their period or just doesn't want it when the partner does
    They want to do it quick or don't have the time required for relationship sex
    Their partner is traveling or away from their partner
    It's convenient, like in the shower in the morning or evening
    It is their best attempt to remain faithful to the marriage because they are really unhappy and don't have anyway to resolve marital conflict outside the bedroom
    They do not desire the kind of sex they will have with their partner
    It's fun
    They want to indulge in a fantasy that they are: too afraid, embarrassed or fear rejection from their partner to share with them
    They just want an orgasm and they know how best to get there in the fastest way possible
    To learn more about their own body and what they like and how to reach orgasm

  • I don't like porn. I don't see why any straight male would be fine watching another dude's dick on camera, or why any straight women (although apparently, very few actually exist) would want to see other women getting plowed but them. Maybe *I'm* the weird one, but I don't like porn whatsoever. It doesn't mean I don't self-pleasure (a fact I'm quite ashamed to admit actually; but since I'm going to be single for life, I give myself more leeway than normal men who can get girlfriends and sex easier). But I don't watch porn and I find it to be disgusting and really strange.

    So I'm just as unsure why men and women watch porn as you are, OP.

  • Because unlike the real thing, porn doesn't suddenly decide its "not in the mood"

    Nah all jokes aside guys gotta cum its attached to our mental health

  • Same reason you do, silly😆.

  • Because women are only attracted to the top 20% of men.

    What are the bottom 80% supposed to do? Just kill themselves. A lot of them will eventually, but in the meantime they'll use porn to simulate sex and intimacy.

    Fake cheese is better than no cheese at all.

  • Well, you can tell if a teenage boy likes sex and nude pics of girls: he's breathing. Porn means naked girls and guys find it "hard" to resist the temptation of looking: 'nuff said.

  • When I watch porn my dick gets really hard. I am able to stroke it and cum which all feels great.


    That’s as straightforward as I can be. Why do you ask?

    • I’m just curious to know.

    • What inspires you to masturbate?

  • cause it helps me bust nuts of course

  • You get to have any fantasy you want on demand without the additional work, stress, and drama of maintaining a relationship with a flesh-and-blood partner.

  • Think of it like a really good movie. Lots of porn is acting unless you’re into amateur stuff. However, once a guy cums we release some stuff in the brain that makes us feel good. I don't know what it’s called but you can look it up. Porn helps us get there to feel good afterwards

  • Porn is starting to make me sad rather than horny. So right now, no answer...

  • Well I don't like cheating, and I my SO is not always around. Men and women have needs you know. Plus, I like seeing women orgasm, gets me right off.
