SPENCE: Porn isn't a turn-on, it's goofy
Porn can easily become something to hate and condemn.
The industry undeniably exploits people and, with easy access to porn on the Internet, it seems that more and more people are becoming addicted.
But there is one factor about porn that is undeniable to me — it can be pretty damn funny.
I have never watched or looked at porn as a turn on. Once the cheesy "bow chica bow wow" music begins, all is lost.
I know I'm not the only one who has gotten together with friends to watch porn, eat pizza and critique its ridiculous scenarios, costumes and script.
How can you not find a porn spoof of "Pirates of the Caribbean" hilarious? Maybe it's the exaggerated story lines and even more exaggerated body parts I find the most humorous.
Since when are all women's breasts that big or men that chiseled in everyday life?
It can be easy for everyday women to get jealous and insecure because of the girls in Playboy magazine and in movies. With their perfectly airbrushed bodies (that most likely have been under the scalpel once or twice), it can be hard not to compare.
I know of a few girls who are uncomfortable with the thought of their boyfriends looking at porn because they think they can't ever compete with those women.
But as long as you think of porn for what it is — fantasy, not reality — women will be OK, assuming they have a good significant other.
This is an industry where John Wayne Bobbitt became a star after his wife Lorena sexually maimed him, so woman shouldn't get to up in arms when they catch their boyfriend watching "Jane Blonde DD7."
Once when I went to use a former boyfriend's computer, I found porn he had forgotten to close out of. I called him into the room and showed him what I found.
I could tell he was preparing himself for me to get mad. Instead, I laughed hysterically and told him next time he might want to remember taking down the porn before I come over.
I'm never going to be able to sit down with a boyfriend, watch something like "Jurassic Poke" and immediately want to go do it.
It's more like, "Give me a minute — I need to stop laughing"
