Who says Women don’t look at Porn
I thought that would get your attention. So, I was perusing the internet looking for anything that would catch my attention and low and behold something did but not in a good way. The article was titled: “15 Ways You're Secretly Ruining Your Marriage”. I love opening up these absolutely stupid articles because many times it full of BS and the person writing the article should probably be home working on their marriage rather than writing the dam article. Anyhoo, so this title catches my eye and I open it up because I can’t wait to see what 15 things I’m NOT doing since my marriage is definitely NOT in jeopardy of being ruined. So, here’s the list of 15 things:
· You don't give him enough props
Okay well this is definitely NOT me because if I propped him up any more than I already do he’d be sleeping upright.
· You take his porn habit personally
I’ve copied and pasted this section verbatim:
“Sure, it doesn't feel great to think about your guy fantasizing about other women. But it's totally normal. Research shows that 64 percent of U.S. men look at porn at least once a month, and 55 percent of 'em are married. And it really has nothing to do with how he feels about you or your relationship—most men just need to blow off steam by themselves, the way you zone out to How I Met Your Mother reruns after a long day. The fact that it's porn he's zoning out to—well, he's sort of wired for it: One study found that men's brains react differently to porn that women's; for them, it's a form of stress relief. Bear with us, but evolutionarily speaking, a guy is always looking to maximize their mating opportunities. So seeing what's out there is, well, relaxing (just like it's relaxing for us to go shopping and know what shoes are at the mall, even if we're not buying them). We know—weird—but in other words, he can't really help it. So as long as it's not hurting your love life, don't take it personally.”
I know you’re thinking the same thing I am. WTF? Since when did my form of stress relief become relegated to buying shoes and watching reruns? Who the hell is this chick? No wonder her husband is looking at porn (without her).
I couldn’t get past this second reason that is “secretly ruining my marriage”. I was furious. This woman doesn’t know me. I hate shopping, hate it! I maybe watch t.v. about 2 hrs out of the week and that’s mostly news. I’m able to do much more than shop and watch reruns. I like to work out (especially after my husband has looked at porn) and I like hiking and taking classes at the community college. I like cooking and I don’t mind doing the dishes but I won’t unload the dishwasher. Gosh, these are the type of women that give the rest of us women a bad name. Women are more than shopping and watching t.v. I’m surprised she didn’t throw in bon bons.
So this one section of the article really pushed my buttons and I couldn’t get beyond it to even look at the other 13 reasons. It was easy to determine from the first 2 “reasons” that this article was definitely not written with me in mind.
So, my questions to you are:
What is your favorite stress relief?
Does your spouse’s porn watching upset you?
And most importantly, Do you like shopping for shoes and watching reruns?

My evening rant.
"What is your favorite stress relief?"
Sleep. I'm too old for a lot of the other diversions.

Yep.
Does your spouse’s porn watching upset you?
My wife doesn't look at porn. I don't much anymore either. However I did know a young couple back home where the wife left the husband because he refused to stop his subscriptions to Playboy and Penthouse (this was pre-Internet) because she said that the mere act of looking at a picture of a naked woman in one of the magazines was EXACTLY the same as him cheating on her. No difference whatsoever. She ended up divorcing him after less then 2 years of marriage.
