The Simplest Answer

In one of my favorite episodes of 30 Rock, Liz Lemon asks Frank what guys like. He answers, "Porn."

"No, I mean if you are gonna go on a date with a woman, how would you want her to act?"

"Like she is in porn."

And there you have it: life wisdom from 30 Rock.

According to Family Safe Media, 72 percent of visitors to pornography sites are men. And in the US the porn industry rakes in over $15 billion each year.

"Watching porn is so normal for guys that they will even share their favorite DVDs and videos with their buddies. It’s as natural as letting someone borrow a power tool or lawn mower," says an article by SavvyMiss.com, which takes a look at why men say they like porn.

And apparently, according to the article, many men are like Frank. Says one guy, "Porn is just like any mood-altering substance. When used in moderation, it works fine for its intended purpose. But just like with all mood-altering substances, there are those who abuse the product and give it a bad name."

According to the article, it would seem that there is a fine line between using porn and having porn destroy your relationship. "So how do you know if your guy has an unhealthy porn habit? Basically, his skin flick watching should be kept completely on the down low," explains the article. "It should never interfere with your life or your relationship. His porn and his lady should always be kept separate."
