Haha, funny thread Mr. Green

On the subject though: I agree!
When there are already 10 threads about "my husband
watches porn" why is there a need for opening another
one? Couldn't there be a collective thread for all
porn droolers and their spouses?

Every thread that is newly opened with the same subject
should be just incorporated into ONE giant porn addiction
support group thread.

All in favor, say "I"

Well, yes - it IS boring for regulars - but, oddly enough, each newbie for whom porn is a worry actually dares to think that they are a human being coming to a forum which answers questions, and who deserves reasonable consideration for their problem - which, by and large, they get. And - they are not aware that there are a number of threads already.

AND - anyone who DARES to suggest that I read romance novels and such is gonna get more than a spanking.

OOOH...visions of bunny leaping out of the hot tub with stilettos and a whip.

Good point about the threads D. You're a true "fuzzy-wuzzy"

Nah - I am just aware that this stuff - which is fun for regulars - will be seen by any porn-concerned newbie who runs across it as bashing of them - and very unwelcoming.


But what I am REALLY offended by is this romance novel stuff!!!

And I am a damn bad rabbit to get on the wrong side of.

This is going to come off as harsh and nasty but to those people I say tough s*it. The truth hurts. As well, there are a lot of opinions on this that I don't agree with and I deal with it just fine.

But that's just my outlook.

So we'll see fewer of the threads at issue?
<nods>
Works for me.


My instinct lately, when I see one of them, is to plop in and just throw in a link to the last 12 threads on the same topic.

Aye, Matey! But dlowan does have some very valid points about newbies coming to ask for advice and thinking they must be the only person in the world with this problem.....

Personally, if I even think I might have a thread of interest, I research the forums to find out if there has already been a thread posted about said topic and take it from there. Granted it takes a bit of time to go through all of the Marriage and Relationship topics (regarding this topic we speak of today), but to me it seems worth it. I don't want to waste everyone's time with the same old sh*t

Maybe I'm just a bit anal that way though and not in the panic mode of something destroying my life and relationship that all I can think of is "get my post out there now...I need help!"

I'm not even that seasoned here. I can imagine how some of your veteran posters must feel.....

I'm not trying to be rude but if you don't like this thread then don't read it and don't post.

All I'm saying is that I have just as much right as the porn whiners to express how silly I think it is to cry, pout, scream and fret over my husband's use of porn.

Now if someone comes here to ask if it's normal, I can respect that. But when someone comes here to whine (which is a whole lot of posters) about it but refuses to take action, I don't have much sympathy. A liar is a liar is a liar and if you accept his lies then don't complain that he's a liar.

I guess if that is nasty and rude then I am a nasty and rude person. I didn't mean to be.

I suspect thta you are not anal - but just forum and computer savvy.

I think a lot of the people who come here with porn worries are not very worldly wise - in a lot of ways.

Lady J, quite a few of them seem to get here by way of google searches on husbands and porn which lead to the threads which already exist - which they then reference in their opening posts.


dlowan, those women are net-savvy enough to know how to check histories and download spying software - and discuss whether they're checking sites or tracking keystrokes. an interesting subspecies, indeed.

I think the regular posters here are just experiencing "Porn Burnout Threads".
I won't even click on a thread if I think it's going to entail reading a lenghtly redundant story we have all heard before.

Same with the porn-question threads, Christie?

Not aware - if you are speaking to me - that I said you were.

I am simply pointing out that people come here because it is a question and answer forum.

As it happens, though I avoid the porn threads, I am simply commenting that folk have the right to come here and ask questions.

But - fine - if you do not like any questioning voice on your threads, and see such as an accusation that you are rude and nasty, then I shall happily avoid your threads in future. I think a couple of comments here HAVE been rude and nasty - from a couple of people - but I have no intention of getting my knickers in a twist about it.

I just would like any porn-worried newbie who happens upon this thread to see that not everyone condemns them for asking questions.

Hmmm - yes - a couple of them have - Beth - I have no idea what they do and don't know - you seem to know a lot about them? Frankly, I don't really see why all the pother - I just scroll past 'em? But - as I said, whatever.

I am just uncomfortable with simply condemning a group of folk who come here to ask questions - even if a lot of us think they are silly ones.

Silly questions get asked here every day - ALL of my computer questions are silly, for anyone who gets off their bum enough to research stuff for instance - it is the nature of such fora that one person's dumb question is another's esoterica.

Anyhoo - this seems to be a thread for having fun laughing at the porn-conservative, so I will take any questioning away.
