Porn’s Impact On Women | The Frisky

McKay are the husband/wife team behind the Art of Manliness, which seeks to help men “be better husbands, better fathers, and better men.” Brett was turned off by traditional men’s magazines like Men’s Health because they were filled with articles about sex and six-pack abs. “Was this all there was to being a man?” he asks.

It should come as no surprise that Brett has a big problem with porn. After all, it’s filled with men with six-pack abs having sex. In ”The Problem with Porn,” he warns men that porn “saps your manliness” and lists five reasons why. Our Mind of Man has shared his perspective on guys and porn, and when I IM’d him about the article, he wrote back, “Porn is sexy. Too much porn is bad. Wine is yummy. Too much is bad.” But if porn saps a guy’s manliness, what does it do to women?

Mostly, too much of a good thing is bad. Does watching the occasional porn movie have some sort of “sapping” effect on women? As I can only speak for myself, I decided to see whether I suffered from the perils of porn that McKay lists. I probably watch porn once a week if I haven’t gotten laid in a few weeks. If I’m having sex on the regular, I don’t really watch it. And if I’m on a sex sabbatical, well, my online porn watching goes up to maybe twice a week. Don’t want to get rusty.
