Wow are you ignorant to how the male mind works! So any man who's a virgin and passes up having sex with a hooker is a closet homosexual??? I can't think of a more disgusting and honestly
scary first sexual experience than having it be with a hooker! I remember when I was a virgin and passing up sex with women because they were more sexually experienced than I was. As much as I wanted sex, I was scared of my first time not being with another virgin. So I waited, and eventually I found her.
Quote:His first reaction to seeing a pornographic picture of a couple having intercourse was revulsion--
My first reaction to hardcore porn was exactly the same, and I'm not gay. Rogers said that it shocked and also aroused him firefly. You left out the aroused part. That's a perfectly normal first reaction to porn. I remember being shocked and disgusted but also aroused the first time I saw porn. I mean especially at a young age, witnessing porn is essentially like witnessing something violent happen for the first time. I also remember the first time I saw softcore porn, just naked women in Playboy. I remember thinking that those women had no respect for themselves and it really kind of disgusting me and making me angry, but it also gave me a boner.
What really pisses me off is how women seem to think they know more about this Rogers situation than men do. I know I'll be attacked for this, but I remember a time in my life when I had a lot of the same feelings that Roger expressed. After one of my girlfriends left me. She cheated on me actually, and it was with one of those "brute" types that Roger spoke of. I had a lot of anger then that I didn't process in a healthy way, and seeing some of the things Roger expressed reminded me very much of that time in my life. I've had male friends and known other males who've expressed similar kinds of things too. I think especially when you're younger, for men who've been cheated on or who haven't had any girlfriends by the time they're in their early 20's, it's not uncommon to develop some of the thoughts that Roger expressed. Now that's not to say expressing a desire to murder, but the anger towards women from men who've had problems with them is not uncommon.
And that's why women can
never be a voice of authority on the Roger incident. At least not in analyzing him and his motives. They simply have no point of reference of male frustration to draw from. They can talk about the victims and about how horrible the tragedy was, but they don't have credibility when it comes to analyzing Roger himself. And that's a big part of why all these slanted articles with factual errors that have been written about him by women piss me off.
But by all means let's talk about porno. I think that's an important issue. I'm not necessarily against porn, but I do think it has some negative effects. For one thing I don't understand why women say that porn is men "objectifying" women or some such similar terminology. As far as I can tell women make the choice to do porn and get paid to do so. Not only that, but they get paid
much more to do porn than men in porn do. Are these women being forced at gunpoint to do porn, or are they doing it because it's an easy way to make a lot of money without having to do any real work? I don't really watch porn anymore for a few reasons. For one thing my mind is plenty dirty enough by itself and the women I've had experiences with in my life are funner to think about anyway. But also I think back to when I first discovered mastubation all the way up through my 20's and how much time and money I spent on porn.
I think that men are the ones being exploited by porn. Men are the ones forking down their hard earned money for it while women profit. Women are the ones exploiting a biological urge that men essentially have no control over to become rich without getting a real job or doing any real work.
So I've for the most part decided to say no to not only porn, but also anything that takes my time or money by trying to draw me in with attractive women. I've simply decided that that's one little thing I can do personally to help take away power from those kinds of women who use their sexuality to have power over men. It's really become a conscious life choice for me. I refuse to let any woman manipulate me. I think if more men made this same choice it would do a whole lot to take away power from these leech women who manipulate men. Men need to realize that every time they even click on a free video on the internet, they're giving power to women who don't deserve it.
