Of course, the real thing is nice, but sometimes you just have that itch that only girl-on-girl preggo action can scratch. Good luck getting THAT from your wife. ---

illuminataprimus- Call me what you will, I AM new and trying to find the best spot for my question since I was told it would be better suited for two different forums. And I AM the girlfriend of someone who enjoys porn, possibly has an addiction to it. ---

> [@Lorac35](#): > > And I AM the girlfriend of someone who enjoys porn, possibly has an addiction to it. Then drop the end-runs around the issue that’s really bugging you, and ask about that. In a nutshell, it seems you’re wondering if your boyfriend’s behavior or preferences are normal. ---

> [@Lorac35](#): > > gallen, to answer your question- Yes, there are people who would rather masturbate to porn than put forth the effort/involvement of sex with a person. That’s why I asked the question if and how it is an addiction for one who prefers masturbation(to porn) Yes, but again, for us, this is a ‘sometimes’ situation. Sometimes I really need to just, y’know, take care of business. But making love is just too much effort. It’s been a long day, I’m exhausted, whatever. To me, it’s the difference between making my slow-roasted chicken for dinner and ordering chain-restaurant pizza. Yeah, the chicken is better, but the pizza is _way_ easier. When I’m not too exhausted to cook, though, the effort of the chicken is _totally_ worth it! 😉 ---

OK I don’t like doing chores around the house but, if that makes my wife happy then I’d rather do that than look at porn. I prefer my wife over porn in any and every way. Porn doesn’t even hold a candle to her. Don’t get me wrong porn is good but doesn’t even compare! ---

Did you all know that if the porn is in video form, you CAN turn the volume down, or off. Porn is always in the mood. Porn can be changed. Porn will not give you stds. Porn costs money one time. Porn is in the eye of the beholder, but can discriminating as in the case of blind people. Hmmmm…Brail porn? Porn does not stink, taste bad, or fart in your face. Porn will not tell you that it is “late”. Godawful words to hear, four times in my case. With porn, nationality is not an issue, think, “What is under that veil?”. You do not have to tell porn what to do, or do what it says. Nothing can match my sweet imagination. Porn does not get old. Porn will not go out with your best friend, and if he does not stick the foldout together, who would care? Now for the woman…They can be really useful for a few minutes out of the day. They can…now wait,I know I can think of something else…sorry, it went away… ---

I prefer sex with my wife for the “normal” stuff and porn for the exotic stuff. It is a nice balance. ---

My first boyfriend preferred wanking to me. But I’m still not entirely convinced that he wasn’t a closeted gay guy. Porn and real sex both have their places. Most people don’t prefer porn to the real deal, but there will be exceptional outliers of course. ---
