Women Love Romance, Men Love Porn
Does sex rule the world?
Yesterday, I watched "Shall We Dance" with Richard Gere for the 2nd time in a week. I rented it last week from Blockbuster. As I lay there watching him all tuxed up and presenting his wife with a single red rose prior to waltzing her around in a department store, I thought again how much I love romances. Give me a good romance any day. I can watch them over and over again. Sometimes I am so depressed with the unromantic state of my own life that I can just OD on romance after romance. My husband and son will come in the room and say something to the effect of DAMN, YOU WATCHING THAT $HIT AGAIN. HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO WATCH THAT?
This always gets me to thinking about why I like romance so much. I always have loved romance. Started with romance novels way back, moved on to movies and such. I guess I love them so much because they fulfill my basic need to be romanced. Lord knows I don't get much of it in my personal life. My husband is not much for romance. Can't really blame him for not knowing, they hardly every know anything that you don't come straight out and tell them.
I don't know if I really thought about it much before but lately it seems to be on my mind alot. I think at 40+ I need romance and am not sure how to get it.
Men on the other hand love porn. If I were to assume what goes on in their minds, I would have to assume that porn fulfills the need for fantasy in a man's mind the same way romance fulfills the need for fantasy in a woman's mind. At the end of the day they are both sexual in nature. Whether overt or implied the sex is still there.
DAMN, I missed my own point. Maybe sex does rule the world!!

I think you hit the point on the nose! I don't think men don't like romance; I think that they don't think it is neccessary. It's like telling them they have to go to work on a Saturday.
"Awww, I have to be romantic again? Wasn't the honeymoon enough?!?!?"
I think every woman deserves a little romance, no matter how old you are.
And for the record, I am a hopeless romantic. I think it's a Cancer thing!

I think that goes for some men. I'm not a romantic person at all, but I do like watching romance movies. My bf, on the other hand, is very romantic. I'm a Cancer that's not romantic...is that weird?

I don't think that the romance chip was installed in me. I like it ok but I don't really do it well I guess.
But I'm feeling you on the romance flicks B. I can watch again and again and never get tired.
As for the Porn love, I think men like it for the fantasy value.
Seriously, how offten does it happen that they can f*ck random hoes who present themselves butt ass nekkid with 3-in clear heels on? Not often at all.
