Sometimes I'm very irritated with women's abhorrence for porn.

My computer is ruining my relationship...Do I get rid of that or my boyfriend?
The New York Times is lamenting the lack of film making in today's porn. Evidently, contemporary skin movies lack things like plot, dialogue and acting that made classics like Debbie Does Dallas, well, classics. It's all business these days. And who's to blame? Is it free, amateur porn? Is it the national attention span? Or do blockbuster movies bear some of the blame?
We hear about relationships torn apart by internet porn addiction, but where are the support groups for smut-lovers like me, who suddenly and inexplicably get turned off by porn when they fall in love? Before I met my boyfriend, I was visiting youporn.com about a half an hour a day, hunting through dozens of clips to find the one most perfectly calibrated to turn me on. After I met my boyfriend, my visits to the site dropped off in equal proportion to how much I was getting off with a flesh-and-blood human being.
It's been a rough week out there. From three well-known celebs passing on, Iranian protests and North Korean threats, if you've spent any time consuming the news, you need a break. Luckily, YourTango is here to help. From being honest to pornography, from growing old to what women want, YourTango is here to take you mind off the world. So sit back and relax. Here's this week's best from YourTango.
There's a theory that a guy's porn collection has more to say about his personality than you might think. Porn taste, per an article from our friends at Lemondrop, may be more about other aspects of his (or her, possibly) sexuality than just a fetish. Seems plausible.
Lemondrop asked a love and relationship psychologist if there's a deeper meaning to what pornography a guy chooses to masturbate to. The answer was that pornography does reveal certain personality traits.
Newsweek had an interesting article today that actually touted the health benefits of married men viewing porn. The article asked the (not often) debated question: what's the best fix for low testosterone: good, old-fashioned Jenna Jameson or the pharmaceutical industry? After all, neither are blameless diet-exercise-and-get-plenty-of-sleep solutions; it's pretty easy to judge weird drugs on the market and strange women on your living room T.V. a quick-fix called AndroGel has been on the market for the past decade, causing men who've lost that loving feeling to sign up in droves and attempt to reclaim lost hormones by slathering this foam-like stuff all over their bodies. AndroGel is supposed to turn them from a grouchy, sexless Homer Simpson-type character and into a cheery George Clooney of sorts ("improvement in energy, sexual desire, sexual function, and mood within 1 month" says the website).

It's time for the links: this time around sticky divorces, what happens when a wife is hording cash, rules for hustling on Craigslist, dating a short woman, what he thinks during first time sex, Em & Lo's casual sex list, women can also be promiscuous, how to buy someone a drink, forgetting Valentine's Day by 14 weeks, great sex life church may need a new home, bad first kisses, getting out of a second date and what 500 pornos could teach you.
I've been reviewing adult films for more than a decade. Over the course of those 10 years I've watched more than 500 porn movies, for fun and profit. OK, mostly for profit.
