Are Guys Supplementing Porn with Facebook?

[JMcEntegart]

An interesting article on The Daily Beast suggests that an increasing number of men are choosing to look at regular, fully clothed pictures of girls on Facebook than naked or pornographic images.

Are Guys Supplementing Porn with Facebook? : Read more

Porn sites are all the same. Silicon enhanced, fake situations showing the same thing over and over and over ad naseum. When you hit up a social site you are seeing "the girl next door", a "normal person in a normal environment", this is a lot more interesting than the porn world. Remember the Sears catalog, pictures of your friends sisters? A lot more imagination in play here.

The whole idea is more lolz to me than anything. I've never thought anything of looking at pictures on Facebook, but apparently Facebook is the new Hustler?

I don't know of a serious way to respond to this.

I looked at Jane's facebook photo because I like kitten abuse.
So sue me.

There's a basic question I ask whenever I read about some actress who won't do nude scenes, or how a movie is made better by NOT showing something.

If I'm supposed to use my imagination, what do I need you for?

I can idealize whatever I want in my head, for free. Not even an Internet bill required. If that was BETTER than actually seeing something, then the world has been duped into paying to see stuff for centuries.

A quick reality check says that it remains 'bad' to admit to wanting to see certain things, but looking at something safe is OK to discuss in public. Animating pictures in your head so they get interesting may amuse some people, but it's not high on my list...

Now I've got nothing wrong with looking at a few pictures, but some of what those guys were describing was downright creepy. And on a side note, women should be more careful what they put on Facebook and the likes. Just sayin'.

I would say the article is spot on.
To the guy above me... Yea I am part of those people... and I have a damn good life 😉

Some ppl post their lives on facebook - inviting everyone to look at it. If you're interested in a person and they offer lots of info whats wrong with looking at it? You gonna test drive a car before buying it... Nobody is forced to have a facebook account... you just gotta be aware of consequences from what you display in your profile...

The [male] imagination is far more powerful than any picture. Any pictures that try and replace what the [male] imagination would regularly do get old fast.

Even that last South Park episode only scratched the surface of the negatives found within the entire social networking scene. Are there positives? Certainly. Are there negatives? Oh you betcha! I just can't comprehend why anyone would want their entire lives on public display for anyone to dissect. That is, unless you're "into" that sort of thing...

It's just plain creepy in so many ways. It's things like this that make me feel glad I don't take part in the world of social networks.

(Edit my comment was towards nielnield)

If one keeps their albums and pics open to all, they are simply being silly.

Got a few albums but all is restricted to friends... and I don't have 1000 friends like a lot of "Trying to be popular people"

i agree 100% with the article. and it's not that we are a bunch of pervert guys looking at women. it's like you see a beautiful girl in the street, you just want to see it again. well, in fb you can do it. anytime.

The whole thing is a bit uncomfortable to me. I'm not a priest or anything but it puts me in an awkward position when a friends daughter posts bikini pics of herself. I'd rather not think about my friends daughters, or nieces or cousins that way. I've had to unfriend some of them, or tell their dads they might want to have a look at their daughters facebook to maybe put a stop to it.

Now, when an old girlfriend does the same, it's no so bad
Of course, most of the time it reminds me that my wife is way hotter than any of my old flames. They usually either got fat or psycho.

China will ban Facebook soon (or have they?)

 

[cscott_it]

Facebook? Isn't that one of those social networking whozimajigs?

Seriously though, so if a chick posts half nude pictures of herself she is supposed to be offended by lude activities that take place as a consequence (that the viewer does to themselves in the privacy of their own home)?

However, from an anthropological point of view he says it's perfectly understandable that men would want to look at women who are attractive and attainable rather than the models they see on television and in magazines./quote]

Sums it all up right there, although if your getting off to the pics on FB you have a problem.

 

[megamanx00]

So many things wrong with this.....

 

[officeguy]

I do look at the pictures. Just of my high schools peope. I just want to see how they turned out (look wise), family and friends. Beside, they are not your "friend" per say. How many of them do you actually talk to on a regular basis. That tells you how many true friends you have.

 

[zak_mckraken]

You know, I never thought of that before, but I kinda do this too! I call it "chick surfing". 😉

Is it wrong? Meh, it's not like I'm doing eecky stuff while doing so. I'm not some kind of creepy stalker. BTW Jane, nice piercings! 😉
