Ladies, I know the thought of your guy spending quality time with porn is enough to make you gag. You may think it’s weird, disgusting, even threatening. He’s got me, you may be thinking. Why does he need to look at that crap?

Well, I’m here to relieve your worried minds. You may find this hard to believe, but watching porn is a completely normal activity for men. Many of us do it, and we don’t see anything wrong with it. In fact, guys think of watching porn as healthy and almost a necessity. We are hardwired differently than women. We’ve constantly got sex on the brain, and that can be frustrating, torturous and downright excruciating. Watching porn is a way to relieve that tension.

Sure enough, it can also be a way to remain loyal to our lady friends. I know that sounds twisted, the idea that we watch porn to stay loyal to you. But if we find ourselves attracted to other women, porn is a way to neutralize that. If we’re being tempted, we can just pop in some harmless porn.

“Temptation is trouble,” Vince, 26 says. “You need your release. That’s just the way it is.”
